Security technology keeps evolving, and ASSA ABLOY — the global leader in access solutions — has once again raised the bar. The new ES8100 V-Lock, designed and assembled right here in Australia, redefines reliability, durability, and precision in electric locking systems.
A complete redesign of the legendary Lockwood / Trimec ES8000 V-Lock, the ES8100 introduces advanced engineering improvements, making it one of the most dependable motorised locks on the market today.
🔧 Redefined Engineering Excellence
The ES8100 is not just an upgrade — it’s a total re-engineer. While retaining the familiar footprint of the ES8000 for effortless retrofits, this model delivers massive performance gains:
-
Higher preload tolerance — unlocks under up to 100 kg of side pressure in 3-wire mode.
-
Improved misalignment correction — handles 12 mm total movement for misaligned doors.
-
Integrated LED indicators — visual feedback for lock status and diagnostics.
-
IP53 weather-resistant rating — ready for both internal and external doors.
-
Simplified Fail-Safe (PTL) / Fail-Secure (PTO) configuration — one-step setup on-site.
These upgrades ensure the ES8100 performs flawlessly even in demanding environments where standard locks may fail.
⚙️ Smarter Design, Seamless Compatibility
The ES8100 features a high-torque motorised bolt that moves smoothly into a precision-machined, V-shaped strike plate. This clever mechanism automatically pulls the door into alignment every time it locks — even under heavy preload — giving it that signature quiet, precise engagement.
Better still, the ES8100’s body and strike plate are built from high-grade stainless steel, offering long-term corrosion resistance and a sleek satin finish. Whether mortice-mounted for a concealed look or surface-mounted with an optional kit, it integrates beautifully with modern architectural designs — including glass and aluminium doors.
