Door Lock Options

We offer a wide range of security locks for controlling access to your home or business.

Maglocks – Typically installed to internal doors

The most common locks installed are that of magnetic locks - maglocks. The keeper plate goes on the door, and the magnet is fitted on the door frame. When closed the door is locked by the keeper and plate coming together by magnetic force. Release is obtained by switching power off to the keeper plate using a release button, coded keypad, intercom etc. When the door is closed it locks.
