The best manufacturers of mortise locks for doors for 2020

Any property owner is committed to ensuring its safety. For this, strong doors and reliable locks are installed. At the same time, the locking device must have certain characteristics of burglary resistance in order to protect against thieves. Now on sale you can find locks of different models of Russian and foreign manufacturers. To choose a quality locking device, you need to know what criteria to pay attention to. This and the best manufacturers of mortise locks will be discussed below.

Selection criteria for door locks

There are several options for locking mechanisms used to protect doors:

• Locks with a cylinder mechanism are widespread among the inhabitants of our country. They are distinguished by low burglary resistance. Therefore, experts do not recommend installing them on the front door. To strengthen the weak points of the cylinder mechanism, some manufacturers supply the locks with an armored steel plate or special balls. The advantage of this model is the simplicity of the device. If you are not lucky enough to lose the key, there is no need to completely change the lock. You just need to purchase a new core and a set of keys to it.
• Crossbar locking mechanisms are even simpler. Therefore, their reliability is even lower. Such a locking mechanism cannot be installed on the door of an apartment or house. It will be appropriate only on the door of the utility room, where there is nothing of value.
• The suvald castle was created a long time ago. Such a device has good burglary resistance, therefore it is still in great demand. It is very difficult to pick up a lock pick for him. The disadvantage of such a lock is the need to lock the door not only from the outside, but also from the inside. In addition, if you lose the key, the door will have to be broken open, damaging the door leaf.
• Electronic locking devices have been gaining popularity among Russians in recent years. They are distinguished by their high cost, therefore they are not yet the sales leaders. It is very difficult to break the electronic lock yet. After all, there are several options for controlling the mechanism. The lock can be opened by the owner's fingerprint, by entering a code, an electronic card or from the remote control.
• Combined locking devices provide the home with maximum protection. This is especially important if the lock is purchased to protect entrance doors. Breaking open such a door is complicated by the fact that the locking mechanism consists of several independently working parts. An available example is a combination of cylinder and lever locks equipped with protective pads.

According to the method of installation, locking systems are divided into 3 groups. Mortise models are best suited for entrance doors. For doors made of metal, an insert option is provided if there is a pocket for this in the canvas. Surface locks are very easy to install and use, but they have low strength. Therefore, it is undesirable to install them for entrance doors.Padlocks are suitable for protecting outbuildings.

By safety, the locking mechanisms are divided into 4 classes. You can see which class the lock belongs to in the product passport. According to statistics, an experienced burglar will open first class locks within 5 minutes. While it will take him at least half an hour to break into a class 4 locking device.
