Hinges for electric locks

Electric locks

As part of the systems and technologies of control inputs, in particular when it comes to remote control the opening of doors or doors of access, or of outer gates, driveways and walkways, electric locks are, in their various forms and commercial and typological variants, standard devices on which it is authentic for the realization of these types of installations.

These elements have added more freedom to the life of all the days, eliminating the need to physically open each access system whenever necessary, adding, however, at the same time, new problems absent in the cases of conventional locks.

The most typical problems are those that relate to a malfunction of the electric locks: in the past, such failures were safe whenever occurred off the power supply from the mains (the classic blackout is a typical example), while with the safest modern electric locks, however, there may be problems with those who have a single drive coil extruder, which is why those are preferable to double coil, much more reliable.

With the increase of the technological equipment of the installations of remote control, of course, where simplifications have increased, nevertheless several components of the electric locks and the system-door in general must be improved, including, determinants, there are the hinges.

Electric locks and hinges

The continuous and new improvements in technology for monitoring and remote management, and last but not least the very important home automation, have imposed the verification and implementation of the various devices affected by a technological system of the openings (and closings). Today we need to be able to ensure a quick and safe opening of a door (or door, or gate, or the like) so as to allow control via telematics linked to home automation systems.

As we said, then, as they are crucial to such systems, electric locks and reliable quality are just as important as the hinges that serve these systems, and this thought SIMONSWERK, a world leader in the field, when he designed and built the new system called concealed hinges Tectus Energy, whose elements are characterized by being equipped with a special electrical cable of 16 wires, invisible and extremely flat, which allows the passage of electric power between the door and the frame.

The hinges Tectus Energy combine the aesthetic quality needed in modern realizations in which the design is at the heart of the priorities of the project, the safety and quality of technological performance, thanks precisely to the aforementioned ultra-thin electric cable that allows both a safe power supply as an equally safe supply of data to the leaf and to the various systems connected to it.

With this system it is possible, therefore, electrically powering much of modern access control devices, connected to a home automation system, as points of light in the doors (or doors or other) or electronic media, motorized locks and multipoint locks, all at 12V or 24V.

The quality of the technological solution of such hinges allows, at the same time, to ensure both the supply of electrical power to the various devices of the remote opening system and to ensure the perfect operation of mechanical hinges themselves, ie the opening up to 180, without the risk of damaging the cable.

Applicable on entrance doors frames much of public buildings and with mixed functions as of buildings for residence, which are made of wood or steel or aluminum, the hinges Tectus Energy are also very practical and safe during assembly thanks to their snap connectors that ensure optimal electrical connections without further processing. The types of doors on which you can mount it ranging from standard doors to those fire/ smoke up to 300 kg of weight, to those soundproof or those anti-intrusion.

To make the door of an apartment safe and functional, or other spaces, where there is an opening system with remote electric lock easily, without additional wiring and power connections required, it is still necessary and useful to choose hinges, also not wired and/ or electrified, which provide reliable performance and quality, especially from the point of view of safety.

Kubica Twist, produced by Koblenz systems, can be an interesting response to this problem of installation: produced with satin chrome finish and satin nickel, is a hinge with integrated self-closing system which can be adjusted according to the speed of closing of the door we want to obtain, with three speed setting: low, intermediate and high.

Available for doors with a height of 210 cm, width of the panel 60 to 90 cm and a maximum weight per leaf with three hinges equal to 60 kg, Kubica Twist is equipped with powered hold function, available in two positions at about 30° and after the 90°, while the function is active in the self-closing position between 0 and 30° and from 30° to 90°.
