A special key
Special key locks are an advanced solution for the security of industrial furniture, professional furnishings and technical systems. Designed for universal applications on doors, drawers and technical cabinets, these locks are distinguished by the use of tubular or pin tumbler keys with dedicated profiles, which reduce the risk of break-ins and unauthorized opening. Made of die-cast metal or iron, with nickel-plated or chrome-plated finishes, they integrate internal plate-cylinder or pin tumbler mechanisms and offer different keying configurations (KA/KD). Compatibility with 19 mm bore diameters, interchangeable cams (straight, cranked and hook cams) and locking systems such as multi-point cams or latch cams facilitates their integration in industrial settings with high frequency of use.
FOCUS
When choosing a special key lock, it is essential to consider the type of key (tubular or pin tumbler), the required rotation (90° clockwise or counterclockwise), and the type of cam best suited for the application (hook, cranked or straight). Versions with key extraction positions only when locked increase operational security. Nut fastening ensures stable mounting on metal panels or technical structures. Encodings available in KA (same key) or KD (different key) allow flexible management of users.
FAQ
What are typical applications of special key locks?
Special key locks are mainly used in technical cabinets, industrial furniture, professional drawer units, and in all contexts where a higher level of security and access control is needed, such as electrical installations, office furniture, or public environments.
What is the difference between KA and KD encryption in special key locks?
KA (Keyed Alike) encryption allows multiple locks to be opened with the same key, ideal for simplifying management on complex systems. KD (Keyed Differently) encryption, on the other hand, provides a different key for each lock, increasing the level of individual security.
Which type of key offers greater protection against unauthorized opening?
Tubular keys and pin tumblers with special profiles offer superior protection compared with traditional keys, due to the greater complexity of the internal mechanism and the difficulty of unauthorized duplication.
