Whether it be an installation at home, in healthcare, educational, commercial or residential environments, if you have a door, we have a lock for you.
Why should I use push button locks?
Push button locks are often bought to replace locks with keys. Key management can be a major concern for facility or estates managers looking after large public buildings, like hospitals or universities, for example, where you have large numbers of people constantly moving around. Keys inevitably get lost or stolen, so new keys have to be issued and locks have to be changed, which takes time and money to manage on a large scale. Push button door locks do away with the need for keys.
What should I consider before buying a push button lock?
Before purchasing a lock, it is worthwhile examining where and how it will be used and what features it should have. Entry level locks are suitable for light volumes of traffic, whereas heavy duty locks are more robust and are designed for higher volumes. Push button locks are available in a number of different finishes, such as stainless steel or polished brass and have either knob or lever handles.
Some locks have a Back to Back facility, where the push button digits are on both sides of the door. Key override, which allows the use of one key to access multiple locks, is a useful function where facilities managers or maintenance personnel need regular access in a building that has many locks all with different combinations.
What types of push button locks are there?
There are many different types of push button lock available to suit a variety of access control needs. Push button locks are either mechanically or electronically operated and can be used as primary locks on internal and external doors. The locks can be fitted to most types of door, including aluminum, wood, even glass. There are push button locks that can be easily fitted in place of existing key cam locks supplied as standard on a wide range of lockers, cabinets and cupboards. The locks enable the user to implement a quick and cost-effective solution to the problem of unauthorized access and can be fitted as and when needed, one door at a time.
How should I look after my push button lock?
No maintenance of the working parts is necessary. DO NOToil. To maintain the finish the lock should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth. A silicone spray or similar should be used to provide a protective film against grit and grime. Oil based sprays such as WD-40 should not be used.
