High security industrial locks for outdoor enclosures

Today, high security requirements for industrial enclosures must be even more stringent, especially for outdoor applications. Outdoor enclosures are more commonly used for telecommunication networks, transformer stations, and other public buildings. These enclosures are always placed outdoors in easily accessible streets or rural areas everywhere throughout the country with minimum to no security measure taken to protect them. Indeed, they are exposed to environmental conditions and they should be able to withstand any potential vandalism threats or any attempt to steal expensive hardware contained in the cabinets. Additionally, enclosures must function properly under the most challenging winds and other harsh weather conditions. The main idea here is to cause an opportunist criminal to take significant time for an attempt to break open and thus increase the risk of getting caught in the act.

In the past, even plastic or stainless steel swing arms were used for such applications. Mesan offers a wide range of solutions to meet the requirements for outdoor enclosures.

Next generation industrial locking systems have been designed, especially for outdoor enclosure applications, to protect the valuable internal components of cabinets against vandalism threats.

The main feature of our available locks is that they are fully made of metal solutions and consist of a strong handle and body framework according to DIN EN 1627: 2011-09 standard with RC2 security rating to meet the requirements mentioned above.

Industrial locking systems with Anti-Vandalism protection offer various features and advantages, including the following:

• A tight clearance between the handle and the body, which significantly reduces the possibility of unlocking by unauthorized individuals.
• A reinforced handle structure to withstand intervention by basic tools such as screw-drivers, wedge, pliers, socket wrench, etc
• The lock handle and body are made of powder-coated zinc cast for environmental protection.
• The cylinder dust covers are used to conceal and protect the high security cylinder from within by a seal.
• A locking cylinder made of brass for high security (tube-shaped cylinder with a patented octagonal key)
• Special key geometries to eliminate the possibility of key duplication.
• Anti-drill cylinder offers protection against break-in attempts and prevents jamming of the cylinder when forced to open.
• The internal stainless steel 3-point locking mechanism design inside the panel is also crucial for high security.
• Fixing system custom designed for double-walled doors.

All features that are briefly summarized above genuinely meet the requirements for anti-vandalism protection and corrosion resistance of outdoor enclosures.
