The Next Big Thing In The Hook Lock Industry

Using Hook Locks to Secure the Contents of Your Van
Hook locks are a great option to improve the security of your van. cabin hook lock to set up, and they work independently from the main lock in your van.
Gunnebo Industries (now Crosby) created the self-locking hook to enhance the safety of construction sites. The hooks snap shut when under load to stop snatching and falling off overhead lines.
Loop Wire Hook Locks
These locking hooks with mechanical locks are designed to lock down merchandise and accessories. They function with loop wire hooks to prevent theft. These locks are designed to be used with HandiWALL or other compatible pegboards. They automatically lock the merchandise in place and can be removed manually by pressing down on the spring loaded lock. They provide an affordable alternative to magnetic hooks that can be moved without the necessity of tools.
A hook and loop fastener (commonly referred to as Velcro) comprises two parts. The "hook" side is made up of tiny, stiff hooks, and the "loops" side is comprised of loops that are soft and fuzzy. When they are pressed together, the elements form a strong yet flexible bond. These fasteners are used in a variety of ways, including bundling cables in automotive, electronics and other industries.
George de Mestral invented the hook-and-loop concept in 1941. While on a hunt trip to the Alps He noticed the burrs on burdock that stuck to clothing, animal fur and other surfaces. He realized that the burrs had hundreds of tiny loops which caught onto the fabric and other surfaces. De Mestral was inspired by this and came up with the idea of making a fastener with hooks and loops, which would tie materials in a way that could be reversed. The material he chose was nylon. After several trials and developing a way to mechanize production the product was put into commercial production under the VELCRO brand name.
These hooks are easy to set up because they automatically latch when the load is being pulled. This stops accidental release, and provides an additional layer of safety for lifting. The hooks on these locking wire hooks can be attached to grade 10 chain by using connecting links or webbing with web sling connectors, and they are also able to connect to other hardware like pins. These hooks are secured with a variety of pressure-sensitive glues to suit your needs. They are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate different types of cable or chain.
Magnetic Hook Locks
Magnetic hook locks are made up of a disc-shaped base with an integrated magnet that clings to ferrous surfaces, such as metal. Once the base is clinging to the hook, it cannot be removed until you take off the cap of the magnetic key and apply the force of the magnet to the top of the lock body (where the label reads "6 mm"). Magnetic hook locks work best with hooks that have a larger diameter. They may not stay on thinner hooks. The lock is powered by DC power and is equipped with one or two coils that generate the magnetic force to cling to the hook and lock it.
Magnetic door locks, also known as mag locks are a popular security option for industrial and commercial spaces. When energized, an electromagnetic force locks a door by attracting an electromagnet to an armature plate that is attached to the frame. The strength of the magnetic force varies according to the size of lock and the voltage.
Commercial magnetic locks are "fail-safe", and will open if power goes out, allowing users to escape in the event of an emergency or disruption of electrical power. They are also commonly used on doors leading to areas with hazardous or sensitive materials to ensure that no one is able to gain access who do not have the proper credentials.
Electric strike door locks, on the other hand are usually used in conjunction with an access control system. They allow or limit access based on identity requirements, credentials and schedules. They can be controlled by a variety of methods including fobs, cards proximity readers, keypads, and PINs to unlock. It is essential to consider every type of locking mechanism before deciding on the most appropriate one for your facility or business. This guide will go over the advantages and drawbacks of both types and help you weigh up the pros and cons so you can make an informed choice that's right for your needs.
Hook Locks in Stainless Steel
The Stainless Steel finish on these hook locks provides durability and resistance to corrosion. They are an essential part of the Crosby Group's range of self-closing hooks which help increase the safety of construction sites. Also called a latch hook or safety hook, they snap shut whenever there is an object on them, which reduces the risk of worker injuries.
These rigging latch hooks are much more durable than spring latches that are found on standard sling hooks. In the construction industry, equipment is put through lots of wear and wear and tear. This can result in damage to the spring latches or, more seriously it could cause them to break off the hook. If this happens, the hook must be removed from use until an appropriate replacement can be delivered. With a forged latch, which is an integral part of the body of the hook, it is unlikely that this will happen.
Both the Crosby Shur-Loc and Gunnebo Industries hooks feature a recessed trigger to avoid the potential of pinching your thumb while opening the latch. This is a problem that occurs frequently with hooks of poor quality. The Gunnebo Industries Hook also has a rotation stop that prevents the latch from rotating downward onto your thumb while you are opening it.
The Stainless Steel Hook Lock can also be key-locked to provide extra security. This feature is beneficial when it is essential to keep the lock from reach for example, in a tool/service compartment for the ute tray or a camper trailer. The locks can be put in traditional holes in wood, metal and doors made of masonry. These locks are constructed of Grade 304 Stainless Steel and include a square forend, strike plate and latch as well as a follower. Forends and strike plates may be cut to accommodate. These latches can be ordered with or without a key cylinder.
Brass Hook Locks
Brass hook locks are a simple way to secure your van's contents. It will stop thieves from bending the door to gain access to your belongings. It can be used to add an additional layer of security to your vehicle to deter thieves from breaking into your vehicle using force.
Brass door hook locks are available in a range of timeless finishes that fit the architectural style and decor of your home. They can be installed on French doors, cupboards and even outdoor spaces such as gardens and sheds. They are a great option to keep gates and doors open or closed. They can be locked with keys or padlocks to make sure security.
They work in a similar way as pin cylinders. A central core or plug has to be turned to unlock the locking mechanism. The plug is stopped from turning by a series of pins that block it, and they are divided into pairs, with the top pair, called the driver pins, and the lower ones, known as the key pins. When the correct key is in place, the splits in these pairs are aligned with the ledge at the point where the plug meets with the housing of lock (called the "shear line") and allows the plug to be turned.
To select a brass lock hook you must apply pressure or torque on the plug and then lift each pin in a particular order or sequence. Once all the pins have been lifted, a ledge will form between the housing and plug. It can be cut using shear tools. When the shear line has been formed, you can remove the key and then open the lock.
