Rods are a type of door lock characterised by their robust design and high security. There are different types of rods, including:

• Single-point bar locks or rods: This type has only one locking point and is often used for light doors or cabinets.
• Multi-point bar locks or rods: offer several locking points and higher security. They are often used for front doors and other heavy doors.
• Heavy-duty bar locks or rods are designed for extremely heavy-duty environments and offer exceptionally high security.
• Electronic bar locks or rods: can be controlled electronically and offers high security. They are often used in areas such as banks and government buildings.
• Panic bar locks or rods: used in escape routes and emergency exits and can be easily opened from the inside to allow a quick escape.
• Auxiliary bar locks or rods: often used as an additional security measure and can be fitted inside doors and windows. They provide extra protection against break-ins and unwanted intruders.

Depending on the area of application and security requirements, there are thus different types of rods, each of which fulfils specific functions.
