Acess Control

[Guest Jimbob]

Ive had an enquiry from a Local Off Licence:: re Installing an access control to the shop door The door is opened about 150 -200 times a day so the unit will have to be robust and reliable and they have been robbed three times this last month

Anyone know a good manufacturer or model either an electro lock or Mag lock

Ta very much

I`m assuming they have an Aluminium door frame, so For the Electronic lock i`d probably specify an ADAMSRITE 7100 Series Electric Strike.. We use them in Police Stations as its what they Specify, the only draw back is they cost about £100 each. They are fairly strong latches with a dynamic strenth of 70 foot pound force, static strenth of 1500 lbs (so shoulder barge proof).

On the other hand Maglocks are good and longer lasting, but lack the strenth of the above latch.

For the actual cell block we have to ship in a solid brass job from the USA but they cost £450 each so are probably overkill for what you require.
