“For a busy office its not always ideal having a key operated lock on certain doors. Access control might be the answer as it does away with keys. There are electronic and mechanical options available, the 530 digital from Lockwood delivers mechanical access control and is suitable for installation to both aluminium and timber doors. The code can be changed quite easily, by removing the rear panel and inserting the new code by shuffling the bits, the lock is now “rekeyed”. There is no cost associated with doing this and we train our customer’s with each install on how change the code. The manufacturers (Lockwood) are probably the most well known company in Australia when it comes to locks and security. With their wealth of expertise they have designed a clutching device for the 530 that results in the handle spinning freely when forced, diverting the destructive energy from impacting on the locks internals. The clutching device delivers two distinct benefits, firstly it provides effective security against wrench attack and secondly it protects the lock from damage, circumventing the need to replace it if forced. They keypad is available separately so if you have a mortice lock already costs can be kept down. For example the keypad is compatible with Lockwood 3572 mortice locks as well as 002 deadlatches. It simply sits in place of where the cylinder was, and with a few minor adjustments it would probably qualify as a DIY job if you had the right tools. Australian standards tested and approved it has passed the fire test making suitable for installation on fire doors. What can you do if your locks are being vandalised? Need a 24 hour locksmith coogee?
Quite often locks on fire doors are vandalised or forced, leaving the outer handle in need of replacement in the case of a mortice lock, or making for an entire lock replacement in the case of a cylindrical lever set. The costs of vandalism are an expense every business seeks to minimise. Suggestions on minimising vandalism when it comes to your locks would be to remove the spindle from mortice lock / handle configurations and change the function to a vestibule, where only the key will retract the latch. When in vestibule mode the outer handle and spindle can be removed and replaced with a plate, which gives vandals a lot less to attack. If a cylindrical knob or lever set is the lock in question then you should have a locksmith install a cylindrical lever set that does not have a round or lever handle on the outside. Further deterrents include blocker plates. Fire doors should always be fitted with blocker plates as they guard the latch area and help in preventing a door being pried open. It is important to check on the door frame, aluminium frames, common in office and strata foyer doors have more give than metal or wood frames and are more vulnerable to being pried. An ADI bolt may be necessary to secure the door properly, however these cannot be installed to fire doors as they impede egress.
“Our foyer door had a 001 installed in conjunction with an electric strike, vandals had entered the building on several occasions spraying graffiti. Open sesame locksmiths installed a blocker plate to guard the latch, as there was quite a gap in the door, their locksmith also reduced the gap between latch and strike, ensuring the latch would not be able to be pushed back.
