All safely locked up
What you need to know about furniture locks
Modern furniture locks are small technical masterpeices, which satisfy the highest standards of quality. DIN 68852 is the standard to which they must conform. In office furniture the specialist distinguishes betweencentral locks, locking systems and single barrels.
In living areas, for instance, there are push locks for sliding doors, espagnolette locks for high and folding doors, mortise, screw-on or flap locks for drawers and casket locks for small jewellry boxes. One thing is certain: There is a suitable lock for all needs.
Differences
Focus on: Lock types
When mounting furniture locks, we distinguish between three types:
Espagnolette locks
Push-in locks
- Screw-in locks are screwed onto the back of the door.
- Push-in locks can be let into the door panel.
- Espagnolette locks can be screwed onto the back of high cupboard doors. The locking hooks reach behind the striker plate inside the cupboard.
We differentiate between two types of furniture locks:
- Type 1: each lock has its own individual key (keyed-to-differ)
- Type 2: all locks use the same key (keyed-alike).
Incidentally: The so-called backset is the measurement from centre of the key hole up to side of the rim lock
