FIRE TESTED DOOR LOCKS

»»
MICHELE FENTON HAS been the Managing Director at Lockey Digital UK Ltd for 25 years . In that time , she has seen the industry evolve through product innovation driven by changing standards and legislation in line with consumer need for everincreasing levels of safety and security .
The Lockey brand of mechanical digital door locks is regarded as the original lock of its type , importing from Japan since 1982 where they were invented by the Lockey manufacturers and introduced to the UK by Lockey , earning it the reputation for quality and innovation .
The company is still as keen as ever to keep their customers up-to-date with latest products and
regulations and recently Lockey Digital door locks have been fire tested in accordance with BS EN 1643-1 : 2014 & BS EN 1363-1:2012 .
Michele explains , “ When used in conjunction with our customised intumescent fire kit pack they can be installed on previously tested single or double leaf fire rated timber door sets to provide 30 or 60-minute integrity performance , without detracting from the overall performance of the digital door set .”
Michelle continues , “ It is the duty of care of our installer customers to ensure regulations are adhered to , therefore it is our duty of care to them to make sure we offer the properly accredited products they need . Testing
began in July last year and we received the certification early this year . I actually went to the testing facilities and watched the tests being carried out , which was a very educational and , although complicated , it all boils down to the door and what it is able to withstand , therefore it is vitally important that the locks or hardware do not compromise the integrity of that .”
Locks tested 2430 , 2435 , 2435K ( key version ), 2430DS ( double sided combi ), 2835 and Lockey Super 8 7055 ( latch models )., which are our most popular lock models .
We now have in stock the Lockey Digital customised intumescent self-adhesive 1mm graphite kits . These are made-to-measure and easy to install .
