When you think of a Dubai villa, you picture a huge mansion with sprawling lawns and landscaped gardens, head down the driveway and you’re greeted with the most stunning, larger-than-life doors that become the focal point of the house front.But what secures these heavy-duty and extra-large exterior doors?And which locks match up to these grand and luxurious doors?
Philips has filled in this gap in the large doors hardware market with the introduction of the Philips EasyKey 603E with a specialized hooked mortise. The lock features all the functions offered by Philips Smart Locks with the addition of extra latches that hook up along the full height of the door. Latching up at various points provides the extra security that prevents forced opening of the door with the use of force. It also stabilizes the door, keeping the alignment in check.

Especially for aluminum doors with hollow bodies, a metal jacket needs to be fixed in, where the lock can be placed at a later stage.
