Beyond Traditional Locks: Slam Locks for Modern Security.
In order to come up with workable, effective modern security solutions like slam locks, it takes more than a modest amount of creative thought, an innovative mindset, and a reasonable technical knowledge about aspects of traditional locks that may be improved.
Slam locks are a modern upgrade from old locks, designed to lock doors instantly without needing a key every time you close them. This makes them much safer and more convenient, especially in situations where quick security is needed. They show how lock technology has advanced, offering better protection for homes and businesses today.
From Ancient Wooden Locks to 21st Century Slam Locks
Mankind has been improving traditional lock designs for millennia, ever since they came into use to secure buildings, prized possessions, rare or scarce commodities, and valuables. However, you can hardly compare a rudimentary ancient Assyrian or Egyptian wooden pin lock or a traditional wood or iron bar barricade with a 21st century state-of-the-art slam lock.
There have been multitudes of locking mechanisms and methods of securing doors, gates, and windows for thousands of years, many of them iffy by today’s standards. A discussion of so many bygone security locking methods would be a very detailed time-consuming task, so we prefer to focus on what we know – slam locks and deadlocks that meet our approval for modern security that goes beyond traditional locking systems.
Certain companies have been associated with slam locks, notably Yale and, specifically in South Africa, our leading security barrier manufacturing company, Sequre. We also supply and install our highly effective security barriers, for which we hold various patents and registered designs that speak volumes about our expertise and innovative capabilities in this specialised, technical field.
Locking Instantly
The slam locks we use at Sequre are fully automated, locking instantly. The moment the barrier is shut, the gate is securely locked, because in an emergency situation when you’re feeling threatened, there’s no time to fiddle or fumble with catches or look for keys.
At Sequre, our highly effective retractable security gate systems for windows and doors and our DIY barrier solutions are fitted with modern, fully automatic slam locks that have been tried and tested for strength, durability, and break-in resistance. We must also mention another modern locking system that transcends traditional locks – smart locks.
Smart Lock Technology
Smart lock technology offers some of the latest contemporary door or gate locking/unlocking solutions, in that the smart locks function when prompted by electromechanical means. Not all South African homeowners have adopted smart lock systems yet, because they prefer effective, simpler, mechanical locking products.
Slam Lock/Deadlock Combination
Combined with our Panther and Status retractable gates’ design features and meticulous installation expertise, our contemporary locking solution, a slam lock and deadlock combination, is virtually intruder-proof. Our lifetime guarantee is testament to the quality and advanced security features of our security solutions. If any Sequre-installed burglar-proofing barrier is broken into, we’ll replace or repair your security barrier or refund you.
