Lock Types Dubai

Lock Types Dubai

When looking at purchasing locks for your home or business, a number of options can certainly be overwhelming. There are many different lock types Dubai and several different security factors to consider before purchasing.

Although there are many lock types in Dubai, the four most common are padlocks, deadbolts, knob locks, and levers.

Padlocks

Padlocks are the only type of lock that is typically not permanently attached to anything else.  They are often easy to decode or shim open. Keyed padlocks have several options to consider. There are rekeyable and non-re-keyable padlocks. If a padlock is not-rekeyable, then you cannot change the key that opens the lock (for example to make it use the same key as your house). Finally, padlocks can have a shrouded shackle. This is an extension of the body where the shoulders of the padlock raise up the sides of the shackle to make it far harder for bolt cutters to cut the padlock.

Deadbolts

They use a key cylinder on the outside and a thumb turn (rosary) on the inside to open or close the lock. These deadbolts have one primary weakness. A double cylinder deadbolt uses a key cylinder on the inside and the outside of the door to solving this issue. This can pose a significant problem in a fire or other emergency situation. This type of deadbolt provides maximum flexibility and security in most situations. All deadbolts that we sell are rekeyable, however, products from some vendors are easier to rekey than others.

Knob Locks

The problem lies in the fact that the lock cylinder is in the knob itself and not the door. If you currently have knob locks, consider replacing them with simple passage knobs as it will provide almost as much security as long as you are using deadbolts on the same doors. When purchasing complete knob setups it is important to ensure the proper handedness and backset. For more details please see our Backset/Handedness page.

Lever Handle Locks

Lever handle, this lock types Dubai are frequently used for inner doors in commercial settings.

Cam Locks

They can rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise and the amount of rotation can be limited to 90 or 180 degrees.

They come in several varieties: single cylinder (one-sided), double cylinder (locking cylinder on each side), and single cylinder with thumb turn (locking cylinder on one side and a thumb turn on the other).

Jimmy Proof Deadbolts

Jimmy proof deadbolts are a surface mount product frequently found on apartments and double doors. A surface mount lock means the lock screws into the inside of the door rather than having a complex drill pattern like a standard deadbolt. Jimmy proof deadbolts only require a hole drilled straight through the door for the rim cylinder.

Key In Knob (KIK) Cylinders

A Key in Knob cylinder is generally found at the heart of most knobs, levers, and lower cost deadbolts. They are also popular in a variety of OEM applications and even some sliding glass doors. Frequently, when you take the lock apart (knob/deadbolt/etc), you will find a KIK cylinder held in place with a screw. Unfortunately, while KIK cylinders all generally look similar, there are no standard specifications for their design. This can make replacing one cylinder with another of a different brand (or a high-security model) challenging. Major manufacturers generally have one or more of their own designs for a KIK cylinder. Other manufacturers sometimes duplicate the style so that their cylinders can replace those produced by other manufacturers. Aside from the different sizes that KIK cylinders can have, they also have one of several different style tails on the rear of the lock.
