• Unreasonable overpayments

Professional installation of all types of combination locks offered by our company is optimal solution to create reliable and durable locking systems based on many years of experience and practice-tested solutions.

No one wants to see strangers in their entrance or on the territory of a private house. But if the door is not protected, this cannot be avoided.

In this case, a combination lock will become an assistant.

This is a device that locks the entrance and opens it using a special combination.

It works using specific code numbers or letters that are entered in various ways, depending on the type of device. There is a special keyboard for this.

This type of lock does not have a keyhole, so attackers will not be able to break the code. The main thing is not to forget the code after installation.

Such devices are very popular at entrances, cases, safes and other devices that need protection.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Such locks are gaining more and more popularity in the market; they have both positive and negative sides.

Advantages of a combination lock:

• The hidden latch system and the absence of a hole eliminate the possibility of hacking using screwdrivers and other improvised means;
• To open, you do not need a key, which is often lost;
• If necessary, the opening code can be easily changed;
• Open front door easy, and when closed, the combination lock perfectly protects the territory or entrance;
• Affordable price compared to hiring security;

In addition to the advantages, such devices also have some disadvantages:

• When dialing, outsiders can spy on the dialing combination;
• The owner may forget the code;
• The electric version only works when connected to the power supply system;
• A combination lock with a low price does not tolerate humidity and very high and low temperatures;
• The service life of the microcircuits in an electronic lock is short;

Despite all the pros and cons, a combination lock is considered reliable, and to increase the security of entry, it is often used in combination with other types.

Species

Based on the type of design, such devices are divided into three types:

1. Mechanical. They are opened using buttons or dials. The more circles on the lock, the less confidence in its functions.

   Defensive combinations are quite easy to figure out. If the deputy has only one circle, then it will be more reliable, but then it will be much more difficult to reprogram it, and simply typing the code will become inconvenient.

   Designs with buttons are opened using a special combination of numbers that are easy to guess. Such devices are popular at entrances to entrances. apartment buildings, and their price is low.

2. Electronic. Compared to mechanical ones, such a combination lock is easy to reprogram, and it also has a more compact type of set. Information about the combination is stored in the device memory.

   These types are different high level security and a wide range of functions. They are widely used to protect bank premises and private homes. Among the disadvantages of electronic locks, a barrier to purchase may be its high price.

3. Electromechanical. This type uses a combination of the two previous ones, and two keys are required to open it. This combination lock works thanks to a bolt that moves a spring.

   The appearance of such a device is not much different from a conventional mortise lock, so it can be installed on any door. There is also the option of using an overhead structure.

Choose a castle specific type necessary based on his goals and planned expenses.

Installation

To install a combination lock, you first need to secure the location for the new lock with tape.

Using an awl, mark the location of the keyhole (applies to the electromechanical version) and the center for the device mechanism.

After this, you need to drill holes and insert the locking part of the mechanism.

For the front part, you need to first make a recess and screw the lock with screws.

To install electric version, you need to make holes for the wires. After this, the device is adjusted for left or right door, the manufacturer's instructions will help with this.

The lock wire must be connected to the receiving wire to secure the mechanism to the wall. The final stage will be the setting of opening by dialing a code and from a distance (indoors).

You can do the installation yourself without any problems, especially if you have experience in installing the most common door locks. But there is also the option of using the services of specialized companies that will install the lock quickly and efficiently.

Price

A combination lock can reliably protect the door of a room or area. They are very simple to use; they can be covered with a small canopy to protect them from the effects of precipitation. It is also important not to share the code with third parties.

Digital or combination locks are mechanisms that are opened not with a key, but by dialing a certain numerical combination. Either in a certain sequence, or by simultaneously pressing the buttons. It depends on the type of castle.

Let's take a closer look at what types and designs the industry now offers and choose the best combination lock.

It is believed that the operation of a combination lock was first described in the early 13th century by the eminent Arab scholar Al-Jazari. By the way, he was the first to come up with programmable robots.
In the mid-19th century, the enterprising American James Sargent patented a mechanical combination lock with replaceable codes. The design of Sargent's castle is still popular today due to its:

• reliability;
• relative cheapness;
• practicality;
• versatility.

In simple mechanical ones, opening occurs by arranging pins or cylinders in a given sequence; in electronic ones, by typing a code on a digital keypad or keyboard. In advanced models voice dialing possible.

In electronic locks, the memory of the code is stored in a special memory.

Electromechanical ones have both types of keys: mechanical and electronic.

Scope of application of combination locks

Combination locks are widely used in many areas:

• for the protection of private property (installation on gates in private houses);
• for the protection of warehouse and utility premises;
• for protecting the entrances of apartment buildings;
• for security of office premises.

Code locks are installed first of all in safes. However, they use both types of combination locks (mechanical and electronic), often “in pairs”.

Mechanical combination lock suitable for installation on doors in passage rooms. For example, in “crowded” offices or in apartment buildings. It's convenient and practical. The absence of keys reduces the cost of installing the structure. Employees and residents just have to “hand out” the door code. The room “protected” by a combination lock will be completely safe.

Suitcases, briefcases and bicycle locks also use combination locks. They are easy to use and not expensive.

Types of locks and their advantages and disadvantages

Mechanical combination locks are divided depending on the installation method into:

• mortise;
• mounted;
• invoices.

The first type of lock mechanisms cut into the door leaf. Such designs are suitable for doors made of wood or iron, with a thickness door leaf 30-60 millimeters. The “hidden” design of such locks protects the locks from moisture and cold. They are suitable for installation on . Significant disadvantage mortise models- relative complexity of their installation.

Overhead locks are installed on the surface of the door. The advantage of this type of design is ease of installation and preservation of the relative integrity of the door leaf. The downside is openness to aggressive external influences of precipitation and dust.

Mounted models are used on bicycles, barns, boxes, suitcases. Plus - ease of use, low cost. The downside is not reliability. Amenable to “professional” hacking in 10-15 minutes.

Pros and cons of designs

The internal design of a combination lock is:

• cylinder, with indirect drive of the bolt rod;
• lever, with direct drive of the bolt-rod.

According to the coding method, there are three main types of mechanical lock designs:

• with two or more set circles;
• with one dial;
• with pins.

A lock with a single dial is not reliable, since it has a limited set of combinations. There are 1000 of them. An experienced or inexperienced “cracker” will select a combination in 20-25 minutes. Such designs are used more often for cases and bicycles.

A lock with several dials cannot be cracked in 5 minutes. It is designed in such a way that under the first dial there are also dial circles parallel to it. When the correct position for the first disk is selected, you can hear a very faint characteristic click. Not everyone can feel it.

Pin lock is easy to use, but not secure. The sequence of numbers in the code does not matter. There is no significant difference - dial “123” or “231”, the lock will still open.

Aspects of selecting a reliable model

The choice of a reliable model depends on the following parameters:

• degree of protection;
• financial capabilities;
• operating conditions (outdoors or indoors).

According to the level of protection, locks are divided into 4 security classes depending on:

• resistance to bolt impacts;
• resistance of the lock to the method of breaking and destruction;
• resistance of the lock to strikes from the strike plate;
• resistance to burglary without destruction.

The main criterion for classifying a model into a particular security class is the time during which a specialist manages to open it.

Review of popular manufacturers

Two companies are especially popular on the Russian market: Italian Cisa and Mattam. The main advantages of locks from these companies:

• resistance to unauthorized decryption of the code;
• long service life;
• impact resistance and wear resistance;
• maintainability.

Model "Mattam ZKP -1"

• installed on a door leaf with a thickness of 24-35 millimeters;
• has steel parts lock and nickel plated;
• contains a set of 1000 possible combinations of codes and 10 buttons that can be recoded.

Model "Cisa Basic"

This lock has a huge number of bolts, the ability to connect a vertical drive and a mechanism recoding function.

What to do if you forgot the code

The problem does not occur very rarely. It is common for push-button locks to “wipe off” paint from or around frequently used buttons during long-term operation. Over time, the code becomes visible to the naked eye. Also, frequent pressing of the same buttons leads over time to their “sticking”. In this case, the code is selected using the “scientific poke” method, when all the buttons are pressed in a row, and the “necessary” ones “stick” a little.

The padlock code is selected by rotating the roller while simultaneously “unlocking” the pin. When the roller that is closest to the pin turns, you feel the moment when it “falls” into the groove. The remaining rollers are “unlocked” in the same way.

If it is assumed that the lock will be installed outdoors, then close attention must be paid to the structural integrity of the lock body. If moisture gets inside negative temperatures the lock will stop working.

When choosing a lock, experts advise paying attention to how and what the lock is assembled from:

• body - without cracks and slits;
• the latch mechanism works without distortion;
• Key material does not wear out;
• steel parts;
• the coating is nickel-plated or coated with other anti-corrosion material.

And besides, you must be aware that a combination lock in the hands of a criminal “specialist” can be opened quite quickly. This especially applies to simple disc locks, which are used when parking bicycles and the like. We present to your attention a video where the process of opening such a lock is demonstrated very clearly.

Currently, there are 3 types of locking mechanisms for doors, differing in operating principles: mechanical, electro-mechanical and electronic. In addition to this, there is another classification, according to which locks differ according to the method of installation: in this case, locks are overhead, mortise, etc. A combination lock for the entrance is absolutely special kind locking mechanism and its uniqueness lies in its versatility. So, depending on the design, the combination lock can be overhead, padded, mortise, mechanical, electronic and combined.

To open such a lock, it is not at all necessary to have keys - you just need to enter a secret code using a special keyboard. For greater security, such locks can also be equipped with a key.

The operating principle of this type of lock is simple. The control panel located on the outside of the door contains numbered buttons that users use to dial a secret code. If the code is entered correctly, then the locking cylinders inside the lock are lined up in the required sequence, thereby unlocking the lock.

How to choose a suitable combination lock

The use of code mechanisms is very common on entrance doors, as they save residents of the house from having to spend money on making keys - just tell them the secret code. Depending on the design, the lock may differ in the method of entering the required values ​​and the type of control panel.

Types of mechanical combination locks

Depending on the method of dialing the secret combination, mechanical entrance combination locks come in several types:

• With push-button input method. Push-button models are opened by simultaneously pressing several buttons on the code panel or by sequentially typing certain keys. Such locking mechanisms have a low level of security, since the secret code is quite easy to calculate, so the codes are often changed.

• With dial input method(by sorting through the set circles). Limb mechanisms can have one or more circles. It is believed that locks with dials are unreliable and inconvenient to operate, so they are installed extremely rarely on entrances, preferring push-button models.

Types of control panels

When choosing a suitable combination lock for the entrance door, you should also pay attention to what type of control panel is used. Control panels can be mechanical/electronic or optical. Each type has its own characteristics:

• Mechanical control panels. Mechanical/electronic panels are usually equipped with buttons, the desired combination of which is the key to the unlocking mechanism. Such panels and the buttons themselves are usually made of plastic, metal or rubber. The disadvantage of such systems is that the buttons have a limited service life of several hundred thousand presses.

• Optical control panels. Such panels are very technologically advanced and reliable. The principle of their operation is that vertical and horizontal infrared rays pass on the surface of the panel, above the false buttons. When you place your finger on the desired number, two beams intersect, thereby transmitting the selected values ​​to the block.

What else should you pay attention to when choosing a reliable lock for your entrance? The body of the device must be made of durable thick metal that can withstand the actions of vandals, be resistant to high and low temperatures, have protection for the microphone, video camera and speaker (if the apartments are equipped with intercoms and video intercoms). In addition, experts recommend paying attention to the following points:

1. The presence of readers that allow you to open the device not only with a code, but also with a key or card.
2. Resistance to conditions environment(dirt, dust, humidity, etc.).
3. Illuminated keys for using the lock in dark time days.
4. Integration with interactive systems - such as intercom and video intercom, communication with emergency services, etc.

Advantages and disadvantages of combination locks

Despite the obvious advantages, a coded entry lock has not only significant advantages, but also serious disadvantages. The advantages of such devices include:

• there is no need to carry an entrance key with you;
• there is no need to spend money on making keys for all family members;
• no need to stand in front of the entrance door if you lose your key;
• low cost of the mechanism;
• electronic and electronic-mechanical mechanisms have backlit keys;
• The lock code is easy to change after some time.

The advantage of a mechanical lock over an electronic one is that it does not require electrical supply and costs much less.

Such devices also have a number of significant disadvantages. Disadvantages include, in particular:

• short service life of key panels;
• by the wear of certain keys it is easy to select the code for the entrance lock;
• rapid distribution of code among strangers;
• the need to frequently change the secret code.

Installing a combination lock

Below is detailed instructions about how to install a combination lock and how to change the code on the lock at the entrance. Installation usually does not present any particular difficulties even for a person without relevant experience. If you have the appropriate instructions and the right equipment, this task can be easily completed without the help of specialists.

Installation of a combination lock

In order to have a coded access lock, you must have necessary equipment, take into account the features of the door itself and the type of locking mechanism.

To install a rim lock with a mate you will need:

• locking device;
• drill and set of drills;
• screwdriver;
• hammer and screwdrivers.

The sequence of actions looks like this:

1. Using tape, you need to secure the lock template in the desired place on the door.
2. Use a chalk or colored marker to trace the outline of the control panel and the fastening points on the door leaf.
3. Using a screwdriver, you need to attach the control panel to the front side of the door.
4. Then, on the opposite side, the counter part of the mechanism should be secured.
5. After this, a locking bolt should be inserted into the mating part of the device.
6. WITH reverse side The door leaf is marked with a place for the unlocking button. Using screws, the button is installed in the desired location.
7. On final stage The lock body is installed and its functionality is checked. The first code is usually set by the manufacturer and is indicated in the instructions for the device.

However, installing a lock is only half the battle. How to set the required code or how to change the code on the combination lock at the entrance if necessary? This process looks like this:

1. To change the code you will have to completely dismantle the lock. To do this, the door will need to be fully opened and the device panel screwed on the inside must be removed.
2. The mechanism of the device is represented by several coding plates, each of which has a small cut directed into the lock. In this case, the cuts of the plates that do not participate in the combination are directed outward.

To change the encoding, you should take out the plates and turn them over so that the sections face inward. This way you can choose the right combination. Any set of three digits can be used as a combination.

1. After this, the cover is screwed into place.
2. Some lock models may require changing the coding block or using a special key. In this case, you should follow the included lock instructions.

You can see how specialists perform conversion in this video.

If it is necessary to install an electronic type combination lock, the presented instructions for recoding will be irrelevant, since in this case it is impossible to do without the use of special software. In addition, to recode locks from some manufacturers, you need a coding block or a special key. In these cases, it is advisable to carry out recoding in accordance with the instructions supplied with the device.
