The ecologic gravity lock features a gravity mechanism which allows the automatic dustbin opening when tilted for emptying by the waste collection vehicles.
It is composed of 3 elements:

• a red upper body to install on the waste bin lid,
• a hook located on the inside of the lid,
• and a lower body placed on the inside of the bin.

The red upper part of this gravity lock is in the “small” version and is equipped with a reversible flat key (can be inserted in either way). The innovative gravitational system allows protection from unauthorized access and easy opening of the various containers, especially for those dedicated to door-to-door waste collection: an effective solution for improving the quality of separate waste collection in various municipalities and city neighborhoods.

The lock features:

• Automatic opening during emptying operations by the waste collection operators.
• When waste collection is completed, the mechanism will automatically close, preventing unauthorized persons from accessing it.
• Reversible key (with keying number from 2001 to 2200) or standard key (with keying number from 201 to 436); the key-to-open mechanism prevents the introduction of foreign waste into the waste bin. The locks can be supplied in keyed alike “BLOCK KITS” allowing the access to a group of dumpsters with a single key.
• Key-less emergency opening from the inside of the waste bin (i.e. if a child is locked inside the dust bin).>
• The lock mechanism does not allow accidental openings in case of overturn due to wind, collisions or vandalism.

The gravity lock is compatible and easily installed on all brands of waste bins and wheeled garbage bins, both 2- and 4-wheelers.
