What is a motor lock?
A motor lock or motorized mortise lock is a modern, electronically driven lock that combines the mechanics of a conventional mortise lock with an integrated electric motor. This allows the door to be opened and/or locked by motor, which significantly increases user convenience while ensuring the highest level of security. Thus, a motorized mortise lock is the optimal solution for anyone wishing to combine modern door technology, high operating comfort, and maximum security. Thanks to flexible integration into access control and building management systems, these locks are future-proof and versatile.

- Accessibility: Motorized mortise locks support barrier-free construction and comply with DIN 18040 for accessible buildings.
- Various locking types: suitable for profile cylinders and Swiss round cylinders, as well as electronic locking cylinders
- Diverse fields of application: Motorized mortise locks are available for wooden, metal, and plastic doors.
- Especially convenient: especially for large or heavy doors, where multiple locking points or additional locks are often used, the motor lock ensures convenient operation.
