Hook Lock: The Secret Life Of Hook Lock

Using Hook Locks to Secure the Contents of Your Van

Hook locks are a great method to enhance the security of your van. They are simple to install and operate independently of your van's main locking system.

Gunnebo Industries (now Crosby) developed the self-locking hook to increase safety on construction sites. The hooks snap shut when under load to prevent grabbing and falling off overhead lines.

Loop Wire Hook Locks

Secure your accessories and merchandise with these locking hooks that connect to loop wire hooks to prevent theft. These locks are designed to work with HandiWALL or other pegboards that are compatible. They lock items in place and can also be disengaged manually by pressing down on the spring-loaded lock. They offer an economical alternative to magnetic hooks that can be moved around without the necessity of tools.

A loop and hook wire fastener, more commonly referred to as Velcro, consists of two parts: the "hook" side features tiny, stiff hooks while the "loop" side has soft, fuzzy loops. When the elements are pressed together, they form a strong, yet removable bond. These fasteners can be used for a variety of purposes such as bundling cables for automotive, electronics, and other fields.

George de Mestral invented the first hook-and-loop device in 1941. While on a hunting trip in the Alps He observed the burrs of burdock that stuck to his clothing and animal fur and he realized they had hundreds of tiny hooks that caught on loops on fabric and other surfaces. De Mestral was inspired by this and came up with the idea of creating a fastener that had hooks and loops that would tie materials in a way that could be reversed. The material he selected was nylon, and after several tests and figuring out a way to mechanize production the product was put into commercial production under the VELCRO brand name.

The self-locking feature on these hooks makes them simple to set up, since they latch themselves when the load is placed under tension. This feature prevents unintended releases and adds an extra layer of security when lifting. The hooks on these hooks for locking wire can be attached to grade 10 chain by using a connecting link or webbing with an sling connector for web and are able to connect to other hardware, such as pins. These hooks for locking come with a variety of pressure-sensitive glues to meet your needs. They come in various sizes to accommodate different kinds of cables and chains.

Magnetic Hook Locks

Magnetic hook locks have a base that is shaped like a disc and features an integrated magnet. The magnet adheres to ferrous materials, like metal. Once the base has been connected to the hook you can't take it off until you take off the cap of the magnetic key. Then, apply the magnetic force to the top of lock body (where the label reads "6 mm") Magnetic hook locks are best used for pegboard, slatwall and gridwall hooks with a greater diameter, they may slip off of hooks with smaller diameters. The lock is powered with DC power, and has one or two coils that produce the magnetic force required to keep the hook in place.

Magnetic door locks, also known as mag locks, are a popular security option for industrial and commercial spaces. When they are activated, an electromagnetic force locks doors by pulling an electromagnet into an armature plate that is attached to the frame. Depending on the size the lock and the voltage that is used, the strength of the magnetic force could vary from 250kg to 1000kg.

Commercial magnetic locks are "fail-safe", and can be unlocked if power goes out, allowing users to escape in the event of an emergency or disruption of the electrical supply. They are also popular for installing on doors that open to areas with hazardous or sensitive materials to ensure that no one is able to gain access without proper credentials.

Electric strike door locks, on the other hand are usually installed as part of an access control system to allow or limit access based on the requirements for identity, credentials and schedules. They can be opened by a number of methods that include proximity readers fobs, cards, fobs, and keypad PINs. It's important to assess each type of locking mechanism before deciding on the most appropriate one for your facility or business. This guide will explore the advantages and disadvantages of both types and assist you in weighing the pros and cons so you can make an informed choice that's best for your requirements.

Locks made of stainless steel

The Stainless Steel finish on these hook locks gives them durability and resistance to corrosion. They are a key part of the Crosby Group's collection of self-closing hooks that help enhance safety on construction sites. Also referred to as safety hooks or latch hooks, they snap shut whenever there is a weight on them. This can help prevent injuries to workers.

These rigging latch hooks are far more durable than spring latches used on the standard sling hooks. Equipment used in construction is subjected to a lot wear and tear. This can result in spring latches becoming damaged or even breaking off the hook. If this occurs, the hook has to be taken out of service until a suitable replacement is available at the job location. With a forged latch that is a vital part of the hook's body, it is unlikely that this will happen.

Crosby Shur-Loc hooks and Gunnebo Industries come with recessed triggers to prevent your thumb from being snagged when you open the latch. This is a common problem with low quality hooks. The Gunnebo Industries Hook also has a stopper for rotation that prevents the latch from reversing downwards towards your thumb when you open it.

The Hook Lock made of stainless steel can also be key-locked for additional security. This feature is beneficial when it is essential to keep the lock from reach like the tool/service compartment of an ute tray or camper trailer. They can be installed on wood, metal or masonry doors, and can be installed easily in standard holes. They are constructed out of Grade 304 Stainless steel and have an elongated forend. They also include an latch, strike plate, and follower. Forends and strike plates can both be cut to accommodate. The latches can be purchased with or without key cylinders.

Brass Hook Locks

A brass hook lock is a simple and effective way to secure the contents of your van. It stops criminals from bend' to gain access to your goods and can help to stop them from stealing expensive items that are left on display. It can also be used as an extra layer of security to prevent thieves from attempting to enter your vehicle using force.

The way they work is similar to pin cylinders with a central core or plug that has to be turned to unlock the lock. The plug is stopped from turning by a series of pins that block it, and they are split into pairs with the top pair, called the driver pins, and the lower ones, referred to as the key pins. When the correct key is inserted, the split between these pins runs on the ledge where the plug meets the housing of the lock (called the shear line) and permits it to turn.

To select index , you need to apply pressure or torque on the plug and then lift each pin in a certain order or sequence. When all pins are lifted, they create an opening between the housing and the plug which can be cut using the shear tool or lever lock pick. Once the shearline is created it is possible to remove the key from the lock and then open it.
