The best locking solutions for high doors
The opportunity to take better advantage of space in offices and work environments: this is one of the main needs that designers, archtects, and furniture manufacturers must meet. The best way to meet such requirements is to opt for high doors, which must also be resistant to forcing in all their length. The one with rotating rods is the most common type of lock and suitable for wardrobes and office furniture with high doors because of the stability this multipoint system provides in the closed position along the entire working length of the door.

Components and operation
There are several components that make up a kit for the installation of a lock with rotating rods: in addition to the lock, there are the half-round rods of different lengths, the rod guides, and the pins into which the hooks engage, which, thanks to their rotary movement, reminiscent of the braceo (the movement of flamenco dancers’ hands), help to characterize this type of lock, not coincidentally also known as a spanish lock.
A wide selection of keys, knobs and barrels
The first type of key originally combined with the lock with rotating rods is the antique key, a solution that is still relevant on home furniture of classic or rustic taste.
As regards office forniture, whether made out of metal, wood or its derivates (HPL, MDF, etc.), depending on the level of security or the number of desired combinations, there are many types of keys available: from the standard toothed keys, to the reversible keys, dimple keys or track keys.
Thanks to the Detachable barrel, to open and close the cabinet even more conveniently, a practical knob with or without a lock equipped with a pressure mechanism can be installed in the same lock body without changing any features of the door.
For a design solution or where space is at a premium, it is also possible to opt for the lock with rotating rods slim, which has a significantly smaller body width and a more minimalist style.
