Shot bolts and locks - from standard to exotic

Rotero has long been an authorized reseller of the products of Magnet Schultz Ltd., the British subsidiary of the German manufacturer of solenoid-actuated shot bolts and locks. This wide range of products was recently extended with an electric lock specifically designed for offshore use, plus a series of locks for industrial safety applications. In both cases, the proven success of a custom-designed solution has led to its inclusion in the standard product line-up.

“Do what you do best”: it’s a way of life at Magnet Schultz. In every aspect, this company has become the specialist worldwide when it comes to shot bolts, latches and locks actuated by solenoids. This specialization has led to a comprehensive product range that offers a solution for just about every normal application. To help the user find the right product for any particular job, Magnet Schultz provides an online step-by-step solenoid selection guide.

Customer-specific

The company also has a custom engineering department that is solely focused on the development of customer-specific products; either for the consumer market or for heavy industry, where stringent requirements are imposed on the reliability, safety and operating range of the products. Fortunately, no inquiry is too bizarre for this team of creative specialists. 

The first to benefit from these special products is of course the client who entrusts his application needs to Magnet Schultz. However, it is not uncommon for custom-developed products to evolve into new standard products that every customer can choose from using the solenoid selection guide.

Approved for offshore

A perfect example of this is the EBL-W range (Electric Bolt Lock – Weatherproof). This lock is enclosed in a fully-sealed and maintenance-free anodized aluminium casing, making it suitable for use at sea or in other severe conditions. 

With a protection class of IP65, this component is protected against the influence of water and dust, and it can therefore be used to lock vessel hatches and external safety doors, but it is equally suitable for bioreactor doors subjected to intensive cleaning. These shot bolts are available in both NO and NC variants. 

Also for industry

The EBL-I (Industrial) range has been developed specifically for use in industrial environments. These products are typically used to lock roller shutters, grilles, gates and security doors. They are highly popular in the security shutter sector thanks to their resistance to forced entry by thieves. 

For either standard or “exotic” applications that require a high-quality electric lock, please contact Rotero.
