Fayn lock with cross key. Opening, replacing, installing Fayn locks. Safety mechanisms and fittings

Locks from the Turkish firms Kale and FAYN with a cross key have become extremely widespread in the country. Kale was previously released in a black case, Fine was always in red.

The above mentioned models of kale and fayn locks have some disadvantages. Namely:

• extremely low protective characteristics. It is unknown who spread the rumors that locks with a cross key cannot be opened or are more difficult to open than others. Some people are still in this ridiculous delusion.

  There are several reliable ways to open and hack these mechanisms. Moreover, they are so simple that even schoolchildren can handle them, and it will take no more than 2-3 minutes. Alas, many people have similar locks installed on metal doors. Such a door is a tasty morsel for a burglar.

• inconvenient operation. The key is inserted only in a certain position, and removed from the lock - in the same way. In this regard, users suffer inconvenience and take a long time to get used to working with such a lock. And it would be for the sake of...
• low quality characteristics. The cross key, when entering the mechanism, wears it out on several sides. Frequent breakdown and replacing such locks is a natural phenomenon.

But despite all the above points, kale and fayn locks with a cross key continue to be purchased en masse in lock stores and used on the doors of fellow citizens.

And the reason for this is trivial - the lack of analogues that would be better in their characteristics and would fit in place of the specified locks.

More recently, the domestic manufacturer of locks and hardware, Mettem, offered a replacement. Model 8.190 - to replace kale 189/4MF and model 8.290 - to replace Fayn lock.

Mettem lock models are good because they have almost identical body dimensions.

The key holes and the location of the crossbars also match.

The advantage is that the proposed models of Mettem locks to replace kale and fayn have a lever security mechanism, which has proven itself to be a more reliable solution with increased security characteristics.

On the territory of Russia and many countries former USSR, cost millions of Turkish locks Fayn, Kale, Ornek, ITO, DAF, with cross keys. In the 90s, these locks became wildly popular among domestic producers metal doors and, almost without a fight, captured a huge part of the lock market in Russia.

Why wouldn't they be popular if only one type of key to these locks, and this was actually a cross key, led potential customers steel doors in awe. Moreover, when the manager placing an order for the production of metal entrance doors, say Ostap, as if by the way, reported on the millions of combinations of the secret of these locks with round cross-shaped keys. And that they are almost impossible to open! The customers were delighted. Wow!!! ... Fine and Kale castles, with cross keys - it's super! Do you think such castles don’t exist and this can’t happen, did that bastard lie? Maybe. Now almost everyone has wised up, but then...

And then, that manager, perhaps, fervently believed in what he was talking about or lying to naive people originally from the USSR. The locks are almost Western, beautifully packaged, Turkish manufacturers almost gave up their heads and swore that their Fayn-Kale locks and others, with cross-shaped keys, are the height of perfection in modern “lock building” in Europe. So it turns out that the Ostaps are not to blame! The Ostaps of that time also wanted to eat, just like those of today. At that time, it was very profitable for “Dvernik” to install locks of this type on metal doors: less work - more profit. The laws of capitalism have not been repealed.

As an example. The famous “Klin metal door” of economy class and one of the options for equipping it with locks. The upper lock is installed Fayn - Kale with cross keys, the lower one is installed with a VAZ mortise cylinder lock, also known as DAAZ ZV 4–3. Or, with the lower lock, any other mortise could be installed cylinder lock of a similar type, with a standard center distance for Russia of 55 millimeters, inherited from the USSR. And also the lower locks, in “Klin metal doors” and others like them, could be installed with mega-popular locks such as: the Belarusian semi-automatic mortise disc lock SHO-25 Baranovichi or the Ukrainian mortise cylinder lock ZAZ - Motor-Sich ZV4-6.

The top lock in cheap “Klin metal doors,” in addition to Fayn-Kale locks, could also be Ryazan “SAM” locks.

Yes, in this example you can also look at general development and understanding what kind of doors these were - “Klin steel doors”. One small addition. They stood, stand and will stand for a long time in many people’s apartments.

There could also be such options for metal doors, which anyone wanted and called: “Crab-type metal doors” or “Spider-type metal doors”, to convey solidity and at the same time fear to the customer. Fayn-Kale type locks with cross keys were also actively installed on these doors. And here is this type of door.

The lower lock on this door, with sliding bolts, is ITO, with cross-shaped keys.

ITO is the Turkish twin brother of Fayn - Kale castles. “In his place it could have been Fayn or Kale!” But that’s how the cards ended up, that time, with the manufacturer of this metal door, but there could also be domestic locks on these doors.

The ordinary option of equipping metal doors with locks was very popular and widespread for many manufacturers of steel doors at that time.

That is why, at that time, locks of this type were literally transported from Turkey to Russia by the truckload. “Unobtrusive advertising” by expert consultants and managers did its job. This is how demand arose in Russia for locks with cross keys from Turkish manufacturers Fayn, Kale, Ornek, ITO, DAF. The laws of the market are inexorable. Demand creates supply. It got to the point that at one time these locks were even transported to Russia by shuttles, in the famous checkered trunks, and sold in markets, like any other consumer goods. They were literally flying away.

But still, the main share of the market for locks with cross-shaped keys in Russia was captured by Turkish manufacturers Fayn and Kale. But. “Maslenitsa is not everything for the cat,” a holy place is never empty. Soon, a counter flow of similar locks poured into the Russian castle market, no less powerful than from Turkey, from the rapidly developing China. Chinese manufacturers of similar locks, and even direct counterfeits of Fayn-Kale locks, began to aggressively dump prices and managed to win a significant market share from Turkish importers in a tough fight.

This is roughly how Fayn-Kale locks appeared in Russia, with cross keys. Or, as they are also called, locks with cross keys Fayn - Kale, or locks with cross keys Fayn - Kale, or locks with cross keys Fayn - Kale. And also their clones from China.

Quite soon it became clear that Fayn - Kale, locks with round cross keys, are not so super-duper reliable, both in terms of opening and breaking, and in terms of trouble-free operation of the cylinder mechanism installed in locks of this type. No matter how funny it sounds, it was the “top-secret” replaceable cylinders that turned out to be the weakest link in Turkish locks, with cross keys Fayn, Kale, Ornek, ITO, DAF, and the like. How to open these locks with cross keys is easy and simple; literally the entire Internet is filled with information.

The mechanical part of Turkish locks of this type also turned out to be not up to par. Design flaws and brittle material, brass alloys from which these Turkish cylinders are made, as well as improper operation locks, every day brought them inexorably closer to a pre-programmed breakdown and accident.

And this day, for many owners of metal doors, from various manufacturers, with the castles of Fine Calais, has finally arrived. Ah-ah-ah! Accident. For some it happened faster, for others a little later, but these locks began to actively break, on steel entrance doors, often, a lot and regularly. Why be surprised? Many millions of these locks were installed on metal doors in Russia and the CIS countries. They had to start breaking at some point. The first statistics appeared typical breakdowns locks with cross-shaped keys, and the “generic” sores of locks of this type came out.

None of the “door keepers” took into account the operating conditions for which these Turkish Fine-Cale locks with a cross key were designed. Almost none of the manufacturers of metal doors with locks of this type instructed users how to use them, what to do and how to care for them, how to lubricate them, in the end.

In Europe and Turkey, locks of this type were originally installed on various office cabinets, file storage, gun cabinets and mailboxes. Here, by the way, ardent hello Turkish locks, with cross-shaped keys, from the USSR.

Castle on Mailbox with cross keys made in the USSR.

In addition, locks with cross keys in Europe were mainly installed on storage rooms, in various institutions, on pseudo-safes, or even on windows, or on roller shutters, and on other secondary objects that required minimal protection from the entry of unauthorized persons.

Here is a lock with cross keys for windows, various cabinets and doors.

And here is a deadbolt lock, with cross keys, which is installed on the roller shutters.

Of course, locks of this type were also installed there. various doors, but mostly on wooden ones. Let's say like this one.

Cross key lock on a wooden door.

Apparently, it was the grandmother who installed such a mini-lock, with a cross key, on the door to her room in the family house in Staffordshire, so that her granddaughter would not play pranks with his friends without her...

And in Russia, Fayn - Kale locks, with cross-shaped keys, began to be installed mainly on metal entrance doors to apartments. Where the daily “passage” and operation were, for these locks, although relatively acceptable, they were on the verge of a foul. The fact is that normal steel doors are much heavier than wooden ones and the locks on such doors have their own operating characteristics. This requires more careful opening of the lock, and you need to make sure that the metal door does not hang with its entire weight on the locking bolts of the lock.

The steel door must be firmly fixed to the lock latch. In such doors, this is usually a lower lock with handles. If the door is not secured to the latch of the lock with handles, but hangs with its entire weight on the locking bolts, then the operator has to make additional efforts when opening any lock in order to open the door. This force is transmitted to the internal mechanism of the lock with a key, either directly, as with lever locks, or through cylinder mechanism, where, in turn, the key is inserted.

So the years pass until one day wonderful moment The lock, with cross-shaped keys, does not break. The “nature” turned out to be too thin and flimsy for the cylinders, Fine-Calais locks, with cross keys.

Apartments would be nice. But Fayn and Kale locks of this type were also actively installed on common vestibule doors in several apartments, where the daily load on these locks increased several times. There are a lot of residents. In addition, on locks installed on common doors As a rule, there were not enough keys included with the lock for all apartment residents. It is clear that in such a situation people went to the nearest Metaloremont and ordered additional duplicate keys there. Sometimes these duplicate keys were not of very high quality, they were difficult to enter and exit the lock.

It goes without saying that after a certain amount of time, locks with cross-shaped keys Fine-Kale began to fail en masse on the entrance vestibule doors various types and structures throughout Russia. When a lock breaks, any one, it is usually replaced with the same one, especially if it is installed in a metal door. But what is the point of replacing Fayn-Kale locks with cross-shaped keys with exactly the same ones, if any master knows that in a few years it will break again. For many uninformed people, a counter question immediately arises: “Is it really possible to change a lock on a metal door, previously “standard” installed in it by the manufacturer, and of one type and size, with another lock, of a different type, with different sizes and keys? »

The answer is almost always clear: “Yes, of course, you can change locks with Fayn - Kale cross keys to locks of a different type!” And it’s not only possible, but even necessary, and the sooner the better. What is made by the hands of one person can always be successfully remade by another person! This applies to almost any other lock installed on steel door, and if it needs replacement. Except in some cases, as well as economic feasibility.

But what can you change for? Turkish key-cross locks Fayn - Kale, this is already another story and article. Instead of these locks, you can put a lot of locks, for example, with “safe” type keys, or a cylinder lock, with perforated cylinders and additional protection in the form of overhead or mortise armor plates. Moreover, both from the Fayn - Kale lock manufacturers themselves, and from many other lock manufacturers from Russia, Italy, China and so on.

And again about the legends. The words of managers who spoke about the million-dollar secrets of Fayn - Kale, locks with cross keys, turned out to be just promoted myths and nothing more. These locks became quite easy to open, completely different ways, all and sundry. They became especially popular among drug addicts, since they did not require special knowledge, skills and qualifications from the thieves and robbers who opened these locks. This is how Turkish Fayn - Kale locks, with cross-shaped keys, and their Chinese clones and fakes became favorite locks for thieves of all stripes. What they are, what they are not, it’s all the same!

When the number of robberies of apartments with locks of this type installed in entrance doors, exceeded many tens of thousands, then our valiant police (and then the police) began to warn respectable citizens: “Citizens, urgently change the locks with cross keys to others!” And at some police stations there were even notices with the same content and photographs of these locks, with the keys of the cross Fine - Calais. It got to the point that in the morning television programs of many TV channels, Russian citizens also began to be warned that they should urgently change the locks of this type installed on their doors, out of harm’s way.

If you have not yet changed your Fayn - Kale Turkish locks with cross keys, then do it before it is too late. Forewarned is forearmed!

And what can you replace FAYN - KALE with, locks with cross keys, that's a completely different story.

Many people even do it themselves without any problems. And some, on the contrary, have big or small problems with replacing such locks. It would seem that an absolutely similar lock was purchased, but only from a different manufacturer, but a person cannot install it. Wow. And how confidently and persistently the sellers convinced this man: “You will have absolutely no problems replacing such a lock.” But no. It turns out that saying is one thing, but doing is completely different.
