What is a “relocker”?
A relocker is a device or design that “re-locks” the locking mechanism in the event of tampering. Generally, a spring loaded plunger is mounted inside the safe with a trigger mechanism that will fire if the lockbox is damaged. UL Group 2 locks and better have internal, spring-loaded mechanisms that will relock their deadbolts if the back cover of the lockbox is removed or punched out. All Bighorn and Rhino safes have both a spring loaded, plunger-type relocker and the UL Group 2 lock’s relocker. A new invention we developed and use on the Rhino series safes is the integrated relocker. We’ve patented a lock design, used in the Rhino series safes, that incorporates additional modes of relocking geometry into the parts of the boltwork. This design is used in conjunction with the Group 2 UL-listed lock’s internal relocker and the standard spring-loaded relocker to offer up to 5 times the security of other brands.
