When considering the security of a hotel or any type of establishment, one of the first things that comes to mind is a robust lock that works with advanced technology. But did you know there is an essential part of all locks that often goes unnoticed? It’s the escutcheon!
The escutcheon of an electronic lock is the component that protects the internal lock mechanism from any type of manipulation, while adding to the design and adaptability of different door types.
Today, smart locks have revolutionised access management for hotels, offices and homes. And within this field of innovation in electronic security, Omnitec has positioned itself as a benchmark brand. Our solutions combine quality, technology and design.
If you need to improve the security of an establishment while maintaining aesthetic considerations, first you should find out the different types of electronic lock escutcheons available. In this article, we tell you all about the three main Omnitec models: SLIM, REFIT and EVO. Read on and find out which one best suits your needs!
