Choosing the right lock
When considering the right lock for your project, you should consider:
- Security level – whether the access panel will be installed in high traffic or low traffic areas
- Access frequency – frequent access benefits from using keyless or push-to-open latches
- Mater keying and Key-alike – specify keyed-alike if you require one key for multiple panels which is ideal for large contracts or facility-wide installations.
