Manual Key Lock

The most common and widely used of the locking options is the internal thrust lever locking option. This is referred to as the type 2 lock and is operated manually and only from the inside of a building. The locking handle is built into the interlock of the sliding glass door. Within the vertical profile are steel shoot bolts, and when the handle is turned, these shoot bolts fit from within the profile into precast holes within the ceiling and the floor.

This manual locking option for sliding doors is typically located at the leading edge of a glass door configuration however, alternatives are possible depending on the design requirements. The location and height of the handle can be designed at any height on the interlock, although 1.1m from FFL is used as standard. There are also various options for the design of the thrust lever handle, including the shape, colour and material. Finishes of the handle can be chosen to complement or contrast with the sliding glass door frame.
