When we think about security, the first thing that comes to our mind is locks. Door locks, in particular, have gone through a complete transformation over the period and become more advanced with new features to offer even better security. This blog compares three of the best access system door locks widely used in commercial and industrial settings-
Magnetic - Magnetic door locks work on the principle of electromagnetism. A current passing through the electromagnet—attached to the door frame—attracts the armature plate, holding the door shut. In a high-traffic office environment where electronic authentication is necessary, magnetic door locks are the best door hardware for security as well as cost-effectiveness. Also, they are easy to install and quick to operate.
Electric Strikes - Like a fixed strike latch bar faceplate, electric strikes generally feature a ramped surface to the locking latch that allows the door to close and latch, however, an electric strike ramped surface, if commanded, pivot out of the way of the latch to allow the door to be pushed open—without any operation of the knob. Those who need access systems better than fixed strikes, electric strikes are a good option.
Deadbolts - High-security interior door and cabinet applications where electromagnetic locks are not required, deadbolts are a perfect choice. Some models offer right angle bolts for narrow frames and door stiles, surface-mounted bolt locks for door and cabinet applications, and then there are also solenoid-driven direct throw mortise bolts. Deadbolt locks are compatible with virtually all access control systems, and are usually available in two configurations: fail-safe and fail-secure.
When it comes to security, you should never compromise on quality. Use the best door hardware systems and stay protected against security breaches.
