Electronic Locks — Secure Access in Tbilisi
Electronic Locks are physical security components of access control system that electronically control door locking/unlocking and ensure prevention of unauthorized entry in Tbilisi and throughout Georgia. These locks work by controller command and open only when authorized card, biometrics, or PIN code is used, allowing precise control of who, when, and where enters your facility and creating detailed audit log of all entries/exits.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Fail-safe locks — open when power is cut (e.g. electromagnetic locks). Advantage: people can exit in emergency (fire, evacuation). Disadvantage: if power cuts, door opens (security risk). Used on evacuation exits. Fail-secure locks — stay locked when power is cut (e.g. electromechanical locks). Advantage: door stays locked when power cuts (high security). Disadvantage: requires backup power and mechanical key for emergency exit. Used in sensitive zones.
Depends on door type and traffic. 280kg (600lbs) — standard indoor doors, offices, low traffic, single door. 350-400kg (800-900lbs) — heavy doors, metal doors, medium traffic, outdoor doors. 500-600kg (1200lbs) — very heavy doors, double doors, high traffic, high-security zones. Also consider: door weight, wind load (outdoor doors), traffic intensity. Always choose higher force than minimum requirement.
Yes, several options exist. Electric strike — cheapest option, installs in door frame, works with existing mechanical lock, minimal modification. Electromagnetic lock — surface mounting, no door cutting needed, simple installation, but visible. Electromechanical lock — requires door cutting (mortise), more complex installation, but higher security and aesthetics. Recommendation: Electric strike for existing doors, Maglock for new installations.
