Buying Guide

Holding force matters

Select a lock with appropriate holding force for the application—models listed range from about 130 lb to 500 kg (commercial-grade options) to match door weight and security needs

Power and wiring compatibility

Confirm 12V DC compatibility and whether the lock is fail-safe (NC) to align with existing access control power supplies and wiring practices

Weather and seepage protection

Choose waterproof or outdoor-rated units for exterior doors to prevent corrosion and maintain performance in wet or humid conditions

Mounting and installation options

Check included mounting hardware and whether the kit supports surface, shear, or bracket mounts for your frame type to reduce retrofit complications

Feature set for intended use

Match features like remote control compatibility, cabinet-security adaptations, or heavy-duty industrial seals to the specific use case for better long-term value
