The Rulebook
European Standards
On the basis of the European standards EN 14450 and EN 1143-1, cabinets are tested and classified into safety levels or resistance grades. This classification also determines the number and lock class of high-security locks to be used.

Bolt variants and drive variety
Discover our solutions
Swingbolt
Turning the vault riff triggers a sequence of events on locks with a swivel bolt. The handle sets the bolt in motion, which pushes the lock bolt aside with its locking edge and thus allows the cabinet to be opened immediately.
Bolt drive: Indirect drive by moving the frame train in the open or closed position
Opening / Closing: Retracting and extending the latch by turning the safe reef
Anchorbolt
By turning the safe reef, the bolt mechanism is activated in locks with an anchor bolt. The boltwork pushes the bolt aside, allowing the cabinet to be opened immediately.
Bolt drive: Indirect drive by moving the frame train in the open or closed position
Opening / Closing: Retracting and extending the latch by turning the safe reef
Deadbolt
There are three different versions of WITTKOPP block bolts. These include the classic block bolt, the spring-loaded block bolt and the push-pull block bolt.
Classic block bolt
That Lock is opened or closed by rotating the input unit. A spindle connects the Lock with the input unit, which transmits the motion. The position of the input unit provides immediate information as to whether the Lock open or closed.
Bolt drive: Direct drive by manual rotation of the input unit
Opening / Closing: Retracting and extending the latch by turning the input unit
Spring-loaded block bolt
The spring-loaded block bolt is retracted by motor and extended again after an individually adjustable time. If the bolt is still in the open position when the latch is extended, the suspension ensures that the Lock will not be damaged. Thanks to this integrated overload protection, there is no need for separate bolt position switches.
Bolt drive: Motor
Open: Retracting the latch after entering the code
Close: Extension of the spring-loaded latch after an individually adjustable time
Push-Pull Block Bolt
The push-pull block bolt is retracted by motor and works with an external bolt position contact to control the extension process. With an impressive pushing and pulling force of 30 N, this bar offers high performance. The bolt stroke is infinitely adjustable and can be varied between 9 and 15 mm as required.
Bolt drive: Motor
Open: Retracting the latch after entering the code
Close: Extension via external bolt position contact
Latchbolt
The latch lock is opened by the motorized retraction of the latch bolt. When the vault door is closed, the spring-loaded latch locks into the strike plate and keeps the door securely closed.
Bolt drive: Motor
Open: Retracting the latch after entering the code
Close: Snapping the latch bolt into the strike plate
Classicism vs. progress
Safe lock or actuator
The actuators of the REMOTE series are accompanied by a paradigm shift in high-security locks. The focus is no longer on protecting against unauthorized access to the safe, but on the security of data transmission. This change in the framework conditions leads to unprecedented flexibility.
The REMOTE series is ideal for all applications where a simple locking element or a lock for third-party controls is required. All actuators are based on the components of certified WITTKOPP safe locks.
Safe lock
In the case of classic safe locks, a locking secret, i.e. a key or a code, secures access to the safe. Only those who have the right key or code can open the safe.
The conventional electronic lock consists of a Lock and an input unit. The input unit is used to enter the code. The evaluation of the code inputs and the latch movement are displayed in the Lock controlled by the electronics.
Actuator
In the case of simple actuators, on the other hand, the locking secrecy does not protect direct access to the safe, but rather the security of data transmission. Since the authorization to open the safe is already checked at another, higher-level location, third-party controls such as key switches, control contacts, RFID systems, biometric systems or alarm systems can now be used to secure the transmission path.
In the case of an actuator, the part of the electronics that is used for code evaluation is replaced by an interface. This replacement of the components creates the flexibility of the actuator. Due to the new interface, the input unit can now be replaced, for example, by an RFID or biometric reader or an intrusion alarm system. Depending on the application, potential-free contacts or serial interfaces are used as interfaces.
