SECURE: Security of goods.

So, we have locks. FAIL SAFE, that in the case of a failure or cut of privileged energy in the safety of people, this is the case of electromagnetic locks for example, that can be released to people evacuate the place freely.

An electromagnetic lock, it is classified according to the effort necessary to open them by kilograms of force.

They come available in 120lbs, 140lbs, 300lbs, 600lbs, 800lbs and 1200lbs.  

An electric bolt, which is also a case of power failure releases the door.
