MIWA Hospitality Locking Systems
Japanese engineered electronic locks for hotels and serviced accommodation, supplied and installed across the UK by ICA Systems.
Built to open hundreds of thousands of times without complaint
MIWA has manufactured locks in Japan since 1945 and builds the ALV3 range around the same mortise engineering used in its mechanical hardware. The result is a quiet, precise action that holds its alignment over years of guest use, backed by a three-year warranty.

Lock types
Every finish and handle below can be specified on any of the three escutcheon formats.
Finishes
Six finishes are available as standard across the ALV3 range, so the lock reads as part of the room rather than an addition to it.
Handle types
Five handle designs run from soft contemporary curves to squared architectural profiles, in brass, stainless steel or zinc depending on the type selected.
Type 50
Faceted tapered lever
Type 66
Flat rounded blade
