Top Mortise Door Lock Manufacturers for 2022

Any property owner seeks to ensure its safety. To do this, install strong doors and reliable locks. In this case, 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.

Criteria for choosing door locks

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

• Locks with a cylinder mechanism are widely used 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 lining 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 change the lock completely. 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 placed on the doors of an apartment or house. It will be appropriate only on the door of the utility room, where there is nothing of value.
• The lever lock was created a very long time ago. Such a device has good burglary resistance, and therefore is now in great demand. It is very difficult to pick up a master key for hacking. 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 the key is lost, the door will have to be broken into, damaging the door leaf.
• Electronic locking devices have been gaining popularity in recent years among Russians. They are distinguished by high cost, so they are not yet leaders in sales. While it is very difficult to crack the electronic lock. After all, there are several options for controlling the mechanism. The lock can be opened by the owner's fingerprint, by entering a code, by an electronic card or from a remote control.
• Combined locking devices provide the home with maximum protection. This is especially important if the lock is purchased to protect the entrance doors. Hacking such a door is complicated by the fact that the locking mechanism consists of several independently operating parts. An accessible example is a combination of cylinder and lever locks equipped with protective linings.

According to the installation method, locking systems are divided into 3 groups. Mortise models are best suited for entrance doors. For metal doors, an inset option is provided if there is a pocket in the leaf for this. Overhead 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 security, 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. Whereas it would take him at least half an hour to break into a class 4 locking device.
