Commercial Lock Mechanism
Just as most residential properties have similar locking mechanisms (inner link to house lockout page) such as a deadbolt or a doorknob, so to do most commercial buildings have similar locking mechanism. The most common mechanism used in commercial properties is called the mortise mechanism. This mechanism is usually inserted into the interior of the door with a hole carved out on the door frame where the latch goes into so that the property can be properly locked. This mechanism usually has two places where a lock or a thumb turn can be inserted or screwed on. “Set Screws” or “Allen Screws” are then put into position to prevent anyone from being able to subsequently unscrew the lock from the door .The lock or thumb turn normally have a tail piece on the end which, when the cylinder is turned, is engaged and also turns. This tailpiece then hits a button which is connected to and therefore engages the latch.
IC Core Lockout
An IC core is a kind of lock which may fit into a mortise mechanism. In order for an IC core to fit inside of a mortise mechanism it must fit into a housing which may be separately attached to the mechanism .There are two main kinds of IC core locks, small and large form. The difference between a small and large form IC core is that they fit into different size housings. If you are a business owner locked outside of your property which is protected by an IC core our technicians can come to your rescue. They are trained in different methods to help you get back into your property and get you started with your workday as soon as possible. They may either pick the lock, drill the pins of the IC core, or they may be able to break the set screws and subsequently unlock your property.
