RE: Central Locking

Knowing Cbus it is simply a case of throwing money at it to enable it to
switch outputs. That way you can at least operate your locks. Same for
inputs i.e. a keypad or Dallas i-buttons etc. Sorry, no more as I don't
have Cbus.

Thanks all, does anyone see any problems, or solutions, with hooking CBus
up
to this kind of system?

Cheers

I looked into this with a slightly cheapskate hat on. In the end I bought
a couple of Maplins electric locks which would fail locked. There are
available with two different shaped 'bits' where the mating strike will
sit. These have to be the right angled shaped version not the square one.
The reason is because I got some locks which are like mortice locks in the

door but the latch bit can be operated like a Yale lock. This means the
door can be manually unlocked from either side even if there is no power.

I have yet to actually install this lot but it will work just fine. I felt

that a home made battery backup was not adequate for internal operation in

the case of fire etc. I could not guarantee it would work under any and
all circumstances and family and kids safety has to come first.

Mind you, no-one in my shed or garage on a permanent basis so I can feel
it happening there sometime soon ;-))
