Different types of door locks you can buy

There are many different types of new door locks that you can buy, so we would like to give you an explanation. This way you immediately get a good idea of ​​which ones are available and which ones you need. With us you benefit from an extensive range of locks from well-known, major brands at very competitive prices. So if you are looking for security locks , you have come to the right place.

Profile cylinder

A profile cylinder is a complete lock for a door. You will receive matching keys that fit exactly into the profile. But how do you choose a good profile cylinder lock? An important point is measuring. Measuring ensures that you can see the difference between a profile cylinder and a cylinder lock and how to install them.

Additional locks

Are you looking for an additional lock ? This has the SKG quality mark and is used for extra security in addition to a lock that you have already attached. This way the door is extra protected against burglary. You can buy additional locks from us in different designs. Installing an additional lock is not mandatory, but it is recommended as it further improves the security of your home. A door with one lock is of course easier to force than a door with several. We advise you to purchase door locks with the Police Quality Mark for Safe Living (PKVW). To ensure that you are 100% safe, you can place an additional lock as an exterior door fitting on your front door.

Multi-point lock

Another option is the multi-point lock. This immediately locks the door at several points. This makes the door safer and more difficult for burglars to break open.

Code lock

You can also buy new door locks from the code lock for your home. A code lock functions optimally and guarantees the security of your home. The name says it all, with a code lock you need a code to open the lock. You may be so tired that you forget to lock your door. How easy would it be if you had a door that locked automatically and no one could enter your home? These door locks that you can purchase will lock your doors automatically. It looks a lot like an alarm system, but the code lock is on your door itself. This way you don't have to carry keys around and risk losing them or leaving them somewhere.

Another reason why a code lock is also useful is the fact that you can place the lock on left- and right-handed doors. The code lock is very easy to install and program. You can also change the code. This is useful if you suspect that third parties have discovered what the code is. The code lock also comes with a release function, which means that you can open the door for a certain period of time without using your code.

Mortise locks

You can also come to us for mortise locks . We have mortise locks from various well-known brands such as: Intersteel , Nemef and Starx. We have them in different sizes and colors. The mortise locks are most commonly used to lock doors. Because the lock is inserted, you hardly see it. You can install the mortise lock yourself, but you can also have it done by a specialist. The mortise lock has an SKG rating and therefore also meets the Police Quality Mark for Safe Living (PKVW).

Difference between mortise lock and cylinder lock

Before you buy new door locks, you may want to know the difference between various models. The difference between a mortise lock and a cylinder lock lies in the fact that the cylinder lock is always a mortise lock, but a mortise lock is not always a cylinder lock. Mortise locks should be seen as a group of different locks. You must install mortise locks in your door. Consider, for example, barrel locks and keyboard locks . Please note that the cylinder lock is used on the outer door and the mortise lock is used for the inner doors. We are happy to give you more tips about buying a cylinder lock .

The best brands

If you want to buy new door locks for your home or building, it is important that you choose a suitable brand that represents real value. Nemef and AXA are the most popular brands in the field of locks. Nemef is truly a Dutch brand. It is part of the Assa Abloy line. With us you will also find the well-known brand AXA . AXA is known for producing complete solutions for the safety of your home or office building. They also have the SKG quality mark and the Police Quality Mark for Safe Living. These door locks have also been tested against various burglary methods.

Proper measuring is necessary

If you are going to buy new door locks, it is very important to properly measure the lock recess, backset and shields. If you don't do this correctly, there is a good chance that you will buy the wrong dimensions and then not be able to use the products because they do not fit. More information about these dimensions can be found in our knowledge base .

Below we will discuss measuring slot recess, backset and shields.

Backset

This is the distance between the handle and the edge of the door. At 50 mm the handle is therefore closer to the edge of the door compared to 55 or 60 mm. The backset always increases in steps of 5 mm. Below you can see what the backset looks like visually.

Slot recess

This is the distance from the handle hole to the lock hole (also called a keyhole). We also call this the center-to-center distance. Below you can clearly see visually what the distance means. There are a few different types of lock openings, namely WC, Keyboard, PC and blind (blind is without a lock hole or key).

Measure shield

With a shield we always measure the center-to-center distance, this is sometimes called the lock recess (although the lock recess actually only applies to locks themselves and not to the shield). There are a few different types of dimensions:

• PC
• WC
• Keyboard
• BB
• Blind

Below you can see how the dimensions are calculated for each type of lock.
