Installing an overhead electromechanical lock on a metal door. Installation and wiring diagram of an electromechanical lock. The benefits of using such constipation

Everyone wants to reliably protect their home and backyard territory from unwanted intrusions of strangers. In addition to reliability, an additional factor when choosing a locking mechanism is the comfort of use. For example, if bad weather breaks out on the street, and people want to get into the territory of the site, then it will not be superfluous to remotely open the mechanism. For people who want to combine reliability and comfort, electromechanical and electromagnetic locks are optimally suited. Installation of an electromechanical lock, as well as an electromagnetic one, can be done on your own. What is needed for this, let's understand it step by step.

What is needed to install an electromechanical lock

Locking devices of the electromechanical type can be installed both on the front door and.

For the normal functioning of the lock, it is necessary to install additional devices:

  • The controller with which the electromechanical lock is controlled.
  • Uninterruptible power supply. The lock needs electrical power to operate, since the device can be opened both with a regular key and with the help of a code keypad, key fob, chip card. The uninterruptible power supply must be equipped with built-in batteries. This is necessary for the correct operation of the lock during a power outage. The device also protects against power surges.
  • Code reader. Installed on the outside of the door. The mechanism is used to open the lock with key fobs and / or chip cards.
  • Buttons for opening the door from inside the room. This function is installed to provide additional comfort for people living in the house. In order not to use the key when leaving the room, just press the installed button and the door will open. After a set period of time (2 - 12 seconds) the lock will automatically move to the closed position. The emergency opening button can be located on the lock body, if it is provided for by the design, or used as a separate device.
  • Intercom. If the electromechanical lock is installed on the gate, then the device can be connected to an audio or video intercom, which will allow you to open the door directly from the premises.

A set of additional devices is determined based on the location of the lock and related functions of the mechanism.

Installing an electromechanical lock

According to the type of installation, electromechanical locks are divided into the following types:

  • invoices;
  • mortise.

Overhead locks are mainly installed on gates, and mortise locks are suitable for a door made of wood.

Installation of overhead locks

To install an overhead street electromechanical lock, you will need:

  • marking tools - marker, tape measure;
  • drill;
  • screwdriver

The installation of the locking mechanism is carried out in several stages:

  1. the lock must be disassembled into the body and the locking mechanism;
  2. markings are made on the door leaf at the installation site of the mechanism. To do this, the lock is applied to the door, its body is circled, and places for fixing bolts are marked;

To more accurately markup, you can make a lock pattern on graph paper, marking the places of future fasteners on the template.

  1. using a drill, holes are drilled, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the bolts used to fasten the body of the mechanism;
  2. a hole is drilled for the locking mechanism located in the lock body;
  3. the body of the mechanism is attached to the door leaf. All bolts must be tightly tightened;
  4. the locking mechanism is installed in place;
  5. the castle is going;
  6. the lock is in the "closed" state. According to the crossbar (tongue) of the device, the location of the striker is determined;
  7. places for fixing the locking bar are marked. To do this, the device is applied to the door frame at the exit point of the bolts of the main part of the lock;
  8. holes for fasteners are drilled;
  9. a reciprocal bar is installed;
  10. the operability of the electromechanical lock is checked using a key.

If after installation the lock does not work correctly, then it is recommended to do all the steps from the beginning.

The controller, power supply and other additional devices are installed in a similar way if they are not built into the lock design.

Installation of mortise locks

To install a mortise electromechanical lock, you must:

  1. as in the previous case, disassemble the mechanism into the body and the locking device and make markings at the place of the future tie-in. It is more convenient to use a prepared lock stencil than to apply markings along the contour of the mechanism;
  2. a niche is drilled in the door leaf for the mechanism body and holes for fastening. When excavating a niche, you can use a conventional drill with additional pads or special equipment;
  3. the lock body is inserted into a niche and securely fixed;
  4. a locking mechanism is installed inside the case;
  5. a place is marked for installing a reciprocal bar. The marking is applied along the locking bolt of the lock;
  6. a niche for the strap and holes for mounting bolts are drilled;

The striker, as well as the lock itself, is located inside the door jamb, and is not superimposed on its surface.

  1. the locking plate is fixed;
  2. if necessary, a control unit for an electromechanical lock and other elements of the system are installed;
  3. the correct operation of the mechanism is checked.

The video below shows how to install a G1A8M-65A electromechanical mortise lock from Damutekh.

Connecting an electromechanical lock

If the design of the lock does not provide for a built-in control unit and controller, then you must independently connect the electromechanical lock to this equipment.

The wiring diagram for an electromechanical lock is usually attached to the device along with instructions for installation and use. If for some reason this scheme is not available, then it is recommended to contact the manufacturer of the lock or use the following instructions:

  1. connect the lock and the controller with an electric cable;

If an electromechanical lock is installed on a gate or in a room with high humidity, then the electric cable must be placed in a special sleeve that acts as a protective sheath.

  1. similarly, a reader, a button for opening a lock without keys, a power supply are connected to the controller;
  2. the power supply is connected to the electrical network;
  1. in test mode, the operation of the device is checked;
  2. if an electromechanical lock is connected together with an intercom, then it and the call panel are also connected to the main controller;
  3. the calling and answering intercom devices are also connected to each other.

Overhead and mortise electromechanical locks are connected to the control unit and additional equipment in the same way as described above.

Electromechanical locks are reliable devices with a high level of secrecy. In addition, the device is convenient to use, as it is possible to connect additional equipment in the form of an intercom with a remote opening function. Installation and connection of the lock is carried out according to the attached diagrams without the involvement of specialists. The mechanism control unit, which is an integral part of the lock, performs all operations automatically.

An electromechanical lock is a useful and convenient invention. No need to run and see who came when you hear the call. It is enough to look at the intercom screen and press the button that opens the gate if you want to let in visitors.

Device selection

There are outdoor and indoor models. Since it is required to pick up, then preference should be given to models of the external type.

The differences between the locks are in the control method, the allowable electrical voltage, the type and material of the door on which the device can be installed.

The seller of a specialized store, having found out all your conditions, will offer several options to choose from. In addition to electromechanical, you can be offered an electromagnetic lock, an electric latch.

These models have their advantages, but as practice shows, electromechanical is more suitable for a street gate. Choose a lock that can be opened with ordinary keys in case of a power outage.

An electromechanical lock is more expensive than, for example, an electromagnetic lock, but at the same time it is more practical, durable and reliable.

Equipment

The classic package includes the following items: power supply, intercom, call panel, lock itself, keys to it, overlay panel, wires and box for the power supply, installation instructions.

Having all these components, self-installation of the lock on the gate will not require much work. You must strictly follow the instructions to avoid mistakes.

The lock is opened in several ways: by pressing the opening button on the intercom or with the help of keys.

List of tools and consumables

Installing an electromechanical lock will require the following tools:

  1. Combined cable;
  2. Strong metal wire, 3-5mm in diameter;
  3. Power tools (drill, grinder, drills);
  4. Insulating tape, mounting clamps;
  5. Locksmith tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers).

Product installation

Before installing the electric lock, read the instructions in detail. It describes in detail: phased installation and connection diagram of the device. Studying the instructions is necessary, because due to erroneous actions, some elements of the lock can be damaged.

The installation of the external lock begins with the marking of the holes, by applying it to the attachment point. The marker marks the places for drilling holes.

Then, holes are drilled with a drill, and with the help of fasteners, the lock is installed on the gate.

If the electromechanical lock is of an internal type, then first you need to cut a recess at the end of the door with a grinder, corresponding to the dimensions of the lock.

Then the hole is marked for the entry of the crossbar. A metal striker will help make this step easier. Attach the striker to the attachment point. Align it so that it is directly opposite the lock and mark the place for the deadbolt

Cabling

A combination cable must be purchased if it is not included. It simultaneously feeds the lock with electricity and transmits a video signal to the intercom screen. The brand of the cable is registered in the passport of the lock, and the footage will have to be determined independently.

It is advisable to lay the cable in the shortest way from the gate to the near wall of the house. Sometimes cable laying is carried out along the fence or through the air. If the cable is laid in the air, then with it it is worth pulling a steel rope or at least a wire. This is to prevent the cable from breaking or being damaged in strong winds or ice.

It is possible to lay the cable underground, inside a plastic or metal pipe.

The call panel of the device should be installed on the outer perimeter of the site, you can - directly on the gate. The height at which the electric lock entry panel is installed is indicated in the product data sheet.

That's all - your installation was successful, now you don't have to run out to the gate every time to let in visitors.

Everyone wants to live comfortably and safely in their home. To ensure these conditions, many resort to the use of various technical means. Of particular importance is the choice of the castle. Today on the market you can find a wide range of such products: mechanical, double-sided coded, electromagnetic, electromechanical and other locks. The scheme for connecting an electromechanical lock to the gate is described in detail in the instructions attached to the device, so that there will be no particular difficulty in installing it.

Electromechanical mechanism on the gate

Choosing a lock for the gate and completing the device

There are certain criteria that an electric lock must meet. In order for the device to last as long as possible, it must meet the following requirements:

  • The design of the lock should be unpretentious, but reliable.
  • The product must withstand temperature extremes (from -40 to +50 degrees).
  • The lock can be attached to the wicket profile.
  • The body is made of stainless steel.

For private households, the best option is an electromechanical mechanism that is installed on the gate, together with an intercom. This allows you to open the gate remotely. By installing a video intercom on the gate, the owner does not need to go to the exit to find out who has come to him. It is enough to see the image on the panel of the device located inside the house.

Intercom equipment

As a rule, the kit consists of the following elements:

  • call panel;
  • intercom monitor connected inside the house;
  • power unit;
  • set of keys and lock;
  • a box in which the power supply will be built;
  • camcorder;
  • wires;
  • instructions that provide a step-by-step installation plan for the device.

Scheme for self-connecting an intercom

The convenience of an electromechanical device lies in the fact that it can be opened in several ways:

  • remotely by pressing a button located on the body of the intercom part of the intercom;
  • from the side of the site, using an electronic or mechanical button;
  • from the outside of the site, using a card, a mechanical key or entering a code.

Intercom system installation sequence

“How to connect an electromechanical lock to a gate?” - such a question worries many owners of country houses. This device is very convenient to use, it provides security by preventing intruders from entering the private area. To open the gate with such a lock, just press a special button on the intercom.

The device installation process looks something like this:

  • The call panel is installed on the outside of the gate. It is powered by the electrical circuit and transmits the video and audio signal to the monitor of the video intercom using a coaxial cable.
  • The monitor of the device is installed inside the house and is also connected to the mains with a voltage of 220V.
  • The lock is fixed on a metal or wooden gate and connected through the calling panel to the power supply.
  • A power supply unit is installed in the room, which is connected to the electromechanical lock on one side, and to the mains on the other. If the distance between the power supply and the lock is less than 20 m, take a wire 2x0.5 mm 2. In other cases, you need to use a cable with a large cross section, for example 2x1.5 mm 2.

The design of the lock makes it possible to open the mechanism in case there is no power supply.

Scheme for fixing the lock and its further connection

Tools and Consumables

To connect an electromagnetic lock to the gate (the connection diagram is provided in the photo above), you will need the following tools and consumables:

  • cable;
  • clamps for mounting and insulating means;
  • wire;
  • pliers;
  • screwdrivers;
  • wrenches;
  • drill;
  • Bulgarian;
  • drill.

Installation

The main problem is that most people do not know how to connect the electric lock on the gate. In fact, it is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The instructions for the product describe in detail the process of installing the lock, as well as the scheme for connecting the intercom to the gate.

Starting installation, you need to carefully study the sequence of actions. In order not to spoil the electromechanical lock, you must follow the instructions exactly.

Sequencing:

    1. The electric lock mechanism must be installed on the gate. To do this, the lock is applied to the surface where it will be fixed, and a marker is applied with a marker for drilling holes.
    2. Using a drill, holes of the desired size are drilled, and the lock is fastened with fasteners.
    3. To install an internal type lock, it is necessary to make a notch of a suitable diameter in the gate. To do this, you need a grinder.
    4. A hole is drilled for the lock bolt. The reciprocal bar is fixed with screws. It is very important that it is located clearly opposite the castle.

Cable connection

If the kit does not include a cable for connection, you will have to buy it separately. It is necessary to select a combined wire. This will allow you to connect to both the power supply system and the intercom video system. The passport attached to the lock should indicate which brand of cable should be used. To determine the required footage, you need to independently, by making measurements.

It is best to lay the wire from the gate to the house, in the shortest way. Indoor and outdoor devices are connected in several ways: over the air or underground.

If it is necessary to pull the wire through the air, a tensioner should be used. For this, steel wire is suitable. Such a measure is necessary to prevent wire breakage during icing and strong gusts of wind.

Laying the wire in a metal hose with PVC insulation

For laying the cable underground, use a plastic corrugation, galvanized or insulated metal hose.

The height at which the lock should be placed, as well as a detailed connection diagram of the device, is indicated in the product data sheet.

Scheme for commissioning an electromagnetic lock with a controller

This device is most often used in the entrances of multi-storey buildings, offices, industrial facilities and large stores. Although some owners of country houses also use an electromagnetic lock.

The principle of operation of the device is as follows: current is supplied to an electromagnetic coil, during which a magnetic field is formed. The plate attached to the door is attracted and held by the force of the magnet. Switching off and supplying current to the coil is provided by the controller. You can open the door with a special card and a code key.

Connecting such a device is not difficult. The lock is installed on the door, and the controller is placed in a special box not far from it. The connection diagram is shown in the photo.

Connection diagram of an electromagnetic lock with a controller

The main contact of the call panel is connected to the "exit" button. During the operation of the device, the controller determines the operation of the relay, after which it gives a signal to break the electromagnetic circuit, and the doors open.

The principle of safety dominates the design of control systems. An electromechanical lock is a remotely controlled mechanism, due to which it is popular in private and apartment buildings. A gate on a private plot or a door to a closed office? An electromechanical lock is the best option here.

Electromechanical lock

This type of lock is connected to a classic or video intercom.

How does an electromechanical device work?

A device of this type is no different from a standard lock. The design has a crossbar, locking springs.


Mechanism

The difference lies in the fact that the electromechanical device, or rather its valve, is actuated by:

  • solenoid. This type holds the shutter due to electromagnetic fields. The mechanism is powered by electricity.
  • Electric motor. It is impossible to squeeze the bolt of such a device, since constant pressure is exerted on it.
  • Electric latch. The lock is unlocked when electricity is supplied.
  • Electric interlocks. Unblocked when electricity is supplied.

Each of these can be combined with different release methods. Depending on the type, the mechanism opens in the following ways:

  • remotely - by pressing a button;
  • remotely - using a key fob;
  • using an electronic key;
  • using a regular key;
  • by entering the code on the device itself.

Remote control device

Of course, the internal construction varies depending on how the movement is opened, but the general principle remains the same.

Advantages of electromechanical locks

An electromechanical device, unlike a mechanical one, has a number of undeniable advantages.

In the private sector, it is used because it allows remote control. The gate is located at a distance from the house, so it is uncomfortable for the owners to run out to open the door for guests. A mechanism with a small electric motor and remote control will effortlessly open the gate. An electromechanical lock does not differ in appearance from a classic one, therefore the gate does not stand out externally. The device is neatly installed on the canvas and does not attract attention.


Gate with electromechanical lock

For the same reason, a similar mechanism is also attached to the front door: the remote location of the entrance from rooms like the kitchen or living room becomes the reason for installing a locking device in the house. Sometimes the device is located both there and there: the gate serves as the first checkpoint, while the front door is the last barrier that the visitor has to pass.


use for door

As for apartment buildings, an electromechanical lock installed in the entrance, in combination with other access systems such as intercoms and video surveillance, increases the safety of residents.

Summing up, we highlight the following positive aspects of using an electromechanical lock:

  • remote control;
  • mechanical and electrical way of opening;
  • increasing the level of home security;
  • comfort in use.

A device of this type is easily mounted, although the process requires skill. A gate is considered a complex object. Therefore, before carrying out installation, it is strongly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the intricacies of installing an electromechanical lock. When using other access control systems, make sure that they support the connection of additional equipment. Despite the fact that the connection scheme is simple, not all budget access control systems will interact with some models - there is a risk that the device is incompatible with them.

DIY installation

Installing such a lock on the door with your own hands is simple. In fact, the process is not much different from the installation of classic mechanical specimens.

Locks are available:

  • mortise;
  • overhead.

The first type is widely used. For its installation, both a country gate and an entrance door are suitable. Such a lock is resistant to breaking, invisible and provides reliable protection of the territory. The device is located inside the door leaf, so you will have to think in advance how to run the cable and electrical wiring. A lock of this type must receive uninterrupted current from the network in order to function correctly.

Typically, a mortise device is installed on access doors. The gate can also be equipped with a similar mechanism, however, it is more difficult to install an electromechanical mortise lock from the outside than on the door leading into the room.

The overhead door closing mechanism is easier to install, as it does not require the creation of a nest in the canvas. A gate with such a device is a frequent occurrence, since installation is much faster. However, it is important to protect the electrical wires from environmental influences. You can use special protective cables or run them underground. In any case, the gate will not lose its aesthetic appearance.

An electromechanical lock is installed in exactly the same way as a classic type device, with the exception of the moment of connection. Read more about how the installation takes place later in the article.

How to connect the device to the ACS system

The installation of an electromechanical lock and its connection to the access control system are carried out with special care, since the full functioning of the device depends on this. The SKD may include:

  • monitor;
  • intercom handset;
  • call panel;
  • panel for code entry;
  • electronic lock;
  • video intercom.

Example of a set of ACS

The device of an electromechanical lock is not complex, but installation requires certain skills. It doesn’t matter if a gate or a door becomes a place of fixation - pay special attention to the safety of electrical wires, especially when it comes to the cable connected to the intercom.

The scheme by which it is planned to connect the device may be different, but usually the lock is connected as follows.

Pre-installation of the monitor and power supply. After that, the lock is connected to the battery, the intercom - to the call panel. It is important that the cable does not have critical bends. The last connected pair is connected to the call panel. In order for the installed safety unit to function, the power cable is opened by the contact responsible for controlling the panel, and the second of the pair remains unused.

After that, the device is activated by simply pressing a button: applying a pulse that transmits the cable opens the lock.

If it is necessary that the electromechanical mechanism be opened using electronic keys, the lock is additionally equipped with a special controller. He is responsible for opening the door or gate by entering a code or presenting a tablet. This type of mechanism is more complicated, and its installation is recommended for professionals. They will properly connect the lock to the controller and lay the cable. It is difficult for a non-professional to understand how such a scheme works.


Connection option

How to choose an electromechanical type lock

First you need to choose a suitable lock model. It is difficult to do this among today's diversity. The process is simplified if you follow clear guidelines.

First of all, the environment plays a role. If the installation site is a gate or front door, then the device itself must be designed for frequent operation. A poor-quality mechanism, subject to frequent opening and closing of the door, will quickly fail, even if the installation itself is carried out according to the rules.

The gate in the country is equipped with a closing mechanism with a body made of a material resistant to corrosion. The castle must:

  • be equipped with anti-vandal protection;
  • tolerate temperature changes;
  • do not react to humidity.

The device should not lose functionality in cold weather, and the mechanism should continue to perform its task even if moisture gets inside.

If the gate is made of wood or other pliable material, then it is preferable to install a mortise lock. This will increase reliability and protect the device from possible vandalism. The overhead mechanism is appropriate if the gate is made of metal. Installation of this type is much easier.

It is important to consider that the cable and wires must be isolated from the external environment. The device may stop functioning correctly even if a kink occurs somewhere and the cable is damaged.

If we are talking about the entrance door, then the best option is a mortise lock. In such conditions, installation is easier. Cables and wires also do not have to be protected. The lock located inside is not exposed to moisture, which means that both the mechanism itself and the cable with wires are safe.

  7. Attach the bar to the desired location using screws.

How to lay a cable from the lock to the intercom

If a combo cable is not included, purchase one from a store. It is necessary to power the electric lock and transmit the signal and video image to the intercom screen.

To find out what brand of cable is needed for the lock, you need to study its passport book, but you will have to determine the footage yourself.

Experts recommend laying the cable in the shortest way from the gate or front door to the nearest wall of the house. Sometimes it is pulled through the air, a fence, or let underground. For a cable stretched in the air, an additional support will have to be built. Pull the steel wire or rope through to prevent possible breakage of the connection. When running the cable underground, it is placed in a metal or plastic pipe of small diameter.

Mounted on the outside of the site. The height at which the mechanism is attached is indicated in the product passport. On this, the self-made installation of an electromechanical lock is considered complete.

Features of installing an electromechanical lock for a car hood cover

The electric lock belongs to the category of protective devices. It is based on an electric drive that blocks the hood of the car. When a signal is received, an electromagnet is activated, which brings the bolt to a stationary state.

To open the hood, the driver just needs to press a button. After that, the rod will be attracted by an electromagnet. This design is only suitable if there is a direct current to power the magnetic mechanism.

Benefits of a car hood lock

The electromechanical auto-blocker has several advantages compared to analogues, which makes it an advantage in choosing anti-vandal devices. The advantages of such a mechanism include:

  • ease of operation. One push of a button is enough to unlock the hood;
  • security of the machine from intruders;
  • installation of the electric lock is simple.

Along with the advantages, such systems also have some disadvantages. In the event of a complete discharge of the battery, in order to gain access to the engine compartment of the car, you will have to use the emergency cable. The owners say that this method does not always work and sometimes you have to tinker to unlock the car. Sometimes this causes a lot of trouble.

On the hood of a car with your own hands, any car owner can do it. Although you will have to deal with an electrically conductive device, its installation is simple compared to a mechanical lock for a car.

To complete the tuning of the car, the owner, in addition to the external lock, will have to mount a hidden button inside the car.
