lock represents the electronic
evolution of Multiblindo Easy.
From the outside, it operates
by key or the most advanced
electronic access control
systems: fingerscan, keyboard,
transponder, PIN-code.
From the inside it operates
electronically in a simple and
fast way through a normal
keyboard, allowing the end user
to set three different locking
functions: Total, Light, Free.
ARIES
The
installation
flexibility
and
simplicity
make ARIES the
perfect solution for community
and residential access control.
ARIES electronic trim set
can be fit on most doors. It is
conceived to be used also with
most mechanical locks, for the
utmost installation flexibility.
The battery operation and
cableless technology makes
ARIES the perfect solution for
access management, ensuring
utmost flexibility and low
installation costs both on new
and existing doors.
Its 38mm narrow profile
allows for a simple installation
on any door (wooden,
aluminium, metal, PVC and
so on) together with locks with
a backset of only 25 mm. The
nylon underplate allows to
install ARIES electronic trim set
(in combination with locks with
backset minimum 40 mm) in
replacement of old mechanical
handles covering any holes
on the door. All electronic and
mechanical devices are inside
the trim set and fixing only
requires 3 holes on the door -
one for the handle follower and
one for the two fixing screws.

LIBRA
Thanks
to the
quick
and easy
installation,
the electronic
cylinder LIBRA is the ideal and
universal solution both for the
replacement of mechanical
European profile cylinders
and for installation on new
doors. Together with ARIES
electronic trim set, LIBRA
represents a complete range
fulfilling any need for access
control management both for
community and residential
environment. The electronic
cylinder LIBRA can be installed
in most of the doors equipped
with a European profile cylinder
hole (EN1303).
It is battery operated, so it
doesn’t require any electrical
external cabling. The result
is the best flexibility and cost
effectiveness of installation,
both in new doors and in
retrofitting.
The high modularity of the
cylinder, obtained thanks to
its patented design, drastically
reduces the number of
components required to build
all the versions and measures
necessary to cover the wide
range of potential installations,
with consequent reduction
of components stocks, better
flexibility and fast reaction to
customer requests.
