safety & security


‘Motorised locks are also ideal for emergency exits as they do not feature a handle – which is the most vulnerable part of a door’


Alternatively, solenoid and motorised locks only require


electricity to open or close the door. As doors will be closed for a far greater amount of time than they will be open, electric locks will use considerably less energy than their magnetic counterparts. To put this into context, 13 door magnets use around the


same amount of electricity as a kettle being constantly boiled all day. In comparison, electric locks will only require around 10-20 per cent of this amount of energy to operate for the same amount of time.


Secure solutions


With this in mind, companies offer a selection of compliant security solutions that are ideal for panic and escape doors. Ranges of electric locks include motor and solenoid locks, which are the most effective forms of electric locking. So architects looking for safe and efficient access control


systems should opt for electric locks rather than door magnets, in order to provide a compliant solution that will ensure the occupants of a building are able to exit swiftly in the event of an emergency.
