Panic Hardware Lock: The Best Of Both Worlds?Maybe it is not such a great idea to go in for a lock and panic hardware. Many people think that it is best to have both lock and panic hardware, just in case. That way you are double secure, you manage to keep out unwanted people and you manage to secure the door against access when you feel like. This system, which can be referred to as Panic Hardware Lock, might seem perfect, but actually it compromises the better parts of both systems. A Panic Hardware Lock might seem like it has the strength of both systems, but it also has the weaknesses of both systems, and the situation is such that the Panic Hardware Lock's strengths cancel each other out while their weaknesses seem stronger. Panic Hardware Locks will have the ability to be opened by a single key if the panic hardware has a key override. This makes the Panic Hardware Lock prone to being accessed by keys versus a more secure password system. This in a way nullifies the security of Panic Hardware and compromises your Panic Hardware Lock. On the other hand, if you keep the two locks separate, then all the ease of access that Panic hardware had is nullified because you sill need to twist the key to open the Panic Hardware Lock. This makes the speed of access also a problem. As a result of this, you will find yourself at most times deactivating the lock in your Panic Hardware Lock. So why buy just a Panic Hardware Lock? You should go only for panic hardware, right? Maybe... The thing, and lucky thing at that is that you now have Panic Hardware Locks as integrated systems. In this you can keep your panic hardware as panic hardware for most of the day but then activate a special foolproof lock before you go on a long trip for instance, and this becomes your integrated Panic Hardware Lock. This Panic Hardware Lock is activated by a password, so it does not introduce the weakness of key-locks in your panic hardware. Not only this, you can go in for a full-width Panic Hardware Lock with touch sensors which can make the front door of your store, for instance, very easy to access with the Panic Hardware Lock sliding open at the mere touch of a customer, but also providing very solid security when you are away. I think we have a winner! |
