The Viro V06 electric lock is suitable for installation on single-leaf swing gates (garage doors). It is installed on the opposite side of the door from where the hinges are located. The Viro V06 electric lock locks mechanically and unlocks electrically. When the lock's latch comes into contact with the strike, it locks mechanically, while it unlocks electrically with 12VAC voltage or manually with a key.
It offers extra security by locking the gates and extra protection against wind pressure in the closed position.
It includes a post strike for the lock's latch and a single European profile cylinder, type VIRO 975, through which the lock can be unlocked with a key. Access is only allowed from the side where the lock is installed.
The Viro V06 lock can be installed not only on automatic swing garage doors but also on manual gates.
Its distinguishing features are:
- High quality and durability
- Resistance to vertical load of at least 540 kg.
- Reliable operation.
- Due to the single rotating latch (compared to locks with main and auxiliary latches), it is more tolerant regarding alignment and the gap between the lock and the strike.
- It has two operating modes (SERVICE FUNCTION or SECURITY FUNCTION)
- The same lock can be used on both left and right leaves. Also, by installing the appropriate strike, it can be installed horizontally or vertically.
- It can accept any European profile cylinder as long as the dimensions match. (double, cylinder with security keys, etc.)

How the Viro V06 electric lock works
When the door approaches the closed position, the lock's latch touches the strike, rotates, and closes. The door is secured, and to open it, the lock must be unlocked.
The lock unlocks in one of the following ways:
- With a 12 VAC electrical signal, which can be given in the following ways:
- For automatic swing garage doors with a mechanism via the control panel. When the door opening command is given, the panel sends a signal to the lock to open. (caution: the panel must be compatible)
- For manual garage doors via a push-button with a transformer. (push-button and transformer can be purchased from electrical appliance stores)
- In case of power outage, with a key. Opening with a key can only be done from the side where the lock is installed.
The Viro V06 electric lock has 2 operating modes:
- SERVICE FUNCTION. The F component is in place. (This is the factory-set operating mode.) As soon as the command is given to the lock, it opens and remains open regardless of whether the door moves. For the lock to lock, the door must open even a little and then close again. This operating mode is suitable for most cases (manual and electric doors).
- SECURITY FUNCTION. The F component must be removed. In this case, unlocking occurs when the command is given, but also when the door opens even a little (at least enough for the latch to be in an angled position). This operating mode often causes problems as there is no good coordination between the command and the door opening.
In both cases, after opening, the lock only locks again when the door reaches the closed position.
SERVICE FUNCTION - SECURITY FUNCTION
VIRO V06 electric lock installation
During the installation of the VIRO V06 lock, we place the lock on the leaf and the strike on the post. The leaf approaches the closed position and the latch is in an angled position. To lock, it touches the strike and comes to a straight position. For proper locking, there must be a very small tolerance (about 1mm).
VIRO V06 electric lock connection
The Viro V06 electric lock is connected with two 2×1 mm² conductors that provide 12 VAC voltage:

When is an electric lock required?
- When the swinging mechanism is not irreversible. That is, it does not lock in the closed position.
- When greater security is required.
- When there are strong wind pressures, especially when the door is solid.
- Usually, most automation systems require an electric lock when the door leaf is larger than 2.0-2.5m.
