CES reversible spanner systems

Patent-protected reversible key systems

All CES reversible key systems are patent-protected and meet the most stringent DIN and EN requirements. The latest WD system stands out thanks to its vertical key geometry, high user-friendliness and technical copy protection provided by undercut technology and active locking elements. Depending on the application, the DIN standard distinguishes between residential and commercial construction.

Customer profile

Mechanics meets access control

Mechanics and electronics combined

The CES transponder clip

The transponder clip allows CES’s mechanical profile systems to be easily combined with CES’s electronic locking systems and the AccessOne access control system. This creates flexible hybrid solutions that combine mechanical security with electronic management. Existing locking systems can be expanded in stages and adapted to new requirements without any disruption to the system and with maximum planning reliability.
