COMMUNAL DOOR LOCKS FOR FLATS AND BUSINESSES

Communal Doors and Stair Entry System Repairs and Replacement

Some communal door locks face a few common problems:

Yale Type Locks with an Electric Release Plate

Many communal doors are fitted with a regular Yale-type lock with the addition of an electric release plate (ERP) on the frame. This set up has many problems such as being unfit for a high amount of door traffic associated with a communal door, they are relatively weak in break ins and are easy to break open with your body or tools and finally, they are single-locking rather than the more secure dead-locking.

The Right Solution – A CISA Type Lock

The most common locking system for communal stair doors is the Cisa lock – this type of lock is also the right solution compared to a normal Yale-type lock.

We install and repair most brands of mechanical/electrical combination communal door locks like the Cisa lock, but many people will recognise the Cisa lock from their stair or building entrance door.

• A Cisa-type door lock will automatically dead-lock itself when the door is closed, providing security to all of the building’s properties and creating an additional obstacle for potential burglars to negotiate.

• The lock is fully compliant with fire regulations, since it does not require a key to exit the door.

• They are excellent value to install and maintain, especially when the cost is divided between a number of properties

If you need a new type or communal door entry system or lock or need your current one repaired for your home or business premises, whether it is a Cisa or other brand of lock, get in touch with our experienced engineers and we will advise you on the right product for your property.
