Lock Releases from Door Entry Direct

 

There is no one size fits all when it comes to an installation, and lock installations are no different; certain features may be essential on one job, but not on the next.

 

We aim to make life easier for our installers, and here we have picked out and compared some select locks from two of the most popular brands that we carry: CDVI and Dorcas.

 

It can be a challenge to determine exactly what lock you need for a particular installation, and which attributes you require. Dorcas helpfully uses part numbering to help you to easily determine which features a product has, for example:

 

N

Fail Secure (Standard)

 

305

Monitored

A

Delay action

 

400

Fail Secure (Continuous rated)

AB

Sliding delay action

 

VAC

AC current - Fail Secure

AA

Invisible delay action

 

D

Unlatching mechanism

AT

Timed Delay Action

 

F

Adjustable Jaw

500

Fail-Safe

 

 

 

 

With helpful naming conventions such as this, it can be much simpler to determine and choose the right lock.
