About This Item
TSE CEN/TR 16015 is a technical report that defines the terms and different types used for locking mechanisms within furniture hardware. In wooden furniture and related applications, locking is a core functional element that keeps a flap, drawer, door, or other moving part in the desired position; this report provides a shared technical vocabulary for that subject.
The document covers locking mechanisms for all fields of application and uses figures to help clarify the different forms and arrangements. Its purpose is terminology harmonisation rather than product testing: it helps people use the same words for the same components, reducing ambiguity in design work, cataloguing, procurement, and technical communication.
The role of locking mechanisms in furniture hardware
In general technical terms, locking mechanisms are hardware devices that limit movement by means of a mechanical catch, latch, key-operated device, or similar arrangement. Within furniture hardware, the wording can span drawer locks, cabinet-door locks, safety-related retention devices, and other fastening solutions used in different service conditions. Clear definitions matter because components that look similar may perform different functions.
What this technical report contributes
- Establishes common terminology for different locking mechanism types.
- Uses figures to support visual understanding of the terms.
- Provides a general term framework for all application areas.
- Improves consistency in furniture-hardware communication.
