Renowned for their durability and reliability, these locks are ideal for a wide range of applications, from commercial buildings to residential properties. Their robust construction and intuitive design make them a preferred choice among security professionals and end-users alike.

One of the defining features of Assa Mechanical Pushbutton Locks is their keyed and keyless entry system. This dual functionality allows users to access secured spaces without the hassle of carrying keys, while still providing the option of traditional key access for backup. The pushbutton mechanism is user-friendly, enabling quick entry by simply pressing the appropriate code digits. This design promotes efficiency and accessibility, particularly in high-traffic areas.

The technology behind these locks showcases advanced engineering. The mechanical pushbutton system operates using a patented locking mechanism that ensures a high level of security. Each lock is designed to be resistant to picking, bumping, and drilling, which are common tactics used by intruders. Additionally, the weather-resistant materials and finishes are engineered to withstand various environmental factors, ensuring longevity and reliability, even in harsh conditions.

Assa Mechanical Pushbutton Locks are available with customizable access codes, allowing organizations to easily manage user permissions without the need for changing physical keys.
