Locinox H-COMPACT completes firm's line of hybrid mortice gate locks Locinox has recently introduced the H-COMPACT mortice lock, which, along with the H-METAL lock and the H-WOOD lock which were launched earlier this year, completes the company's range of hybrid mortice locks. The H-COMPACT is especially suited for automated sliding gates where an extra manual closure of the gate is desired. The lock has no handles for a clean, aesthetic look. An anti-theft pin which makes it impossible to lift the gate can be easily removed by the gate owner. This makes it possible to install and use the H-COMPACT lock in swing gates, the manufacturer noted. The mechanism, front plate and chassis are made of 100% stainless steel so that the H-COMPACT is protected against the most severe weather conditions and is extremely durable. A stainless steel hook with a 33 mm throw guarantees safe night locking, especially when used with the allnew SHKC keep. With the introduction of the new H-COMPACT lock, Locinox now offers a complete range of mortice locks including the H-METAL for metal gates, H-WOOD for wooden gates and the H-COMPACT for sliding gates. Locinox, located in Waregem, Belgium, is a leading developer and manufacturer of products for the fencing and gate industry throughout the world.
