Patented fliplatch in Swiss quality

The rotatable fliplatch is the heart of the FlipLock door locks. The direction can be changed in just a few simple steps. While the integrated noise insulation makes opening with pre-load and warping on the door child’s play.

Temperature fluctuations or significant differences in climate on the inside and outside of the door are no longer a problem. 

Panic functions and safety requirements

Whether as a security door with panic function or day and night settings, FlipLock locks are available in all common versions.  

  • Panic function B

    With the change-over function, the door is equipped with a handle on both sides. The handle is always engaged in the direction of escape, enabling the door to be used at all times.   

  • Panic function D

    The passage function is suitable for pure escape doors. Panic actuation from the inside not only opens the door, but also engages the outer handle. 

  • Panic function E

    With the reversing function, the door can only be opened from the outside with a key, while the door remains open in the direction of escape at all times. 

  • Panic function E-SV

    The reversing function with automatic locking works in the same way as panic function E, with the difference that the lock is automatically locked again after each opening. 

Connection to electronic locking systems made easy

The MSL lock technology develops its full potential with FlipLock Drive and eDrive as well as FlipLock access and e-access and enables expansion with the following applications:
