Locks
Locks can be defined as a mechanical or electronic fastening device which is released by an object such as a key or keycard. Locks are necessary to secure private property and as a deterrent to prevent burglaries or theft. Locks are extremely versatile and can be installed on items of furniture as well as vehicles, rooms and buildings to prevent unauthorised access. One of the most common forms of a lock is the padlock. Unlike some other locks, it is detachable. Padlocks can be combination or keyed and a shrouded shackle can make it difficult to open. Deadbolts are used on exterior doors and can be single, double and lockable. Knob locks are not recommended for exterior doors as their lock cylinder can easily be detached. Other types of mechanical locks include lever handle, cam and mortise. Increasingly, use is made of electronic locks using a key card, smart lock or sidebar lock as they are considered more secure. Locks can be found everywhere and the choice of which lock to choose would depend what it is to be attached to and where. Locks are an adequate security device to deter thieves but they are often used in combination with a more complex security system.

Bilco UK Ltd
View company profileThe Bilco Company was established in America in 1926 and has for many decades designed and supplied access products for construction and engineering industries all over the world.
In 1989, Bilco UK & Europe was formed and has built a reputation amongst architects, engineers, specifiers, and the construction trades for providing the right access solution.
In fire situations, most deaths and injuries are caused by fumes and smoke, not flames. Having an efficient and effective means of ventilating smoke and noxious fumes saves lives and can assist the emergency services greatly in facilitating fire fighting and evacuation.
Bilco smoke vents are designed to satisfy Building Regulations and meet Approved Document B, BS 9999 (which supercedes BS5588) and European Standards enshrined in EN 12101. As of 1st July 2013, the Construction Products Regulation came into force which requires smoke vents to be CE marked and to be supplied with a Declaration of Conformity. Bilco smoke vents have been fully tested and carry the CE mark as required by the new legislation.
For the EN 12101 key areas of the regulations are that the covers must reach the fire open position within 60 seconds and that single covers open to 140° to ensure there are no negative wind coefficients ie wind blowing smoke back into the building.
Bilco smoke vents are also compatible with other guidance and codes of practices, for example those issued by the British Research Establishment such as BRE 79204.
