What is a motor lock?
A motor lock, or motorized mortise lock, is a modern, electronically powered lock that combines the mechanics of a conventional mortise lock with an integrated electric motor. This means that opening and/or locking the door is motorized, significantly increasing ease of use while ensuring the highest level of security. A motorized mortise lock is therefore the ideal solution for anyone seeking to combine modern door technology, high convenience, and maximum security. Thanks to flexible integration into access control and building management systems, these locks are future-proof and versatile in use.
Advantages of motor locks
- High operating comfort: Motorized opening via access control systems – e.g. via transponder or intercom, or door control by swing door operators and installed motor locks
- Accessibility: Motor mortise locks support barrier-free construction and comply with DIN 18040 for accessible buildings.
- Various locking types: suitable for profile cylinders and Swiss round cylinders, as well as electronic locking cylinders
- Diverse application areas: Motor mortise locks are available for wooden, metal and plastic doors.
- Especially comfortable: especially for large or heavy doors, where multiple locking points or additional locks are often used, the motor lock ensures convenient operation.
