Magnetic locks, also known as maglocks, are a powerful security solution for homes and businesses. These electromagnetic locks generate a strong holding force (often exceeding 1,000 pounds) to secure doors, providing exceptional protection.
Maglock Applications:
Maglocks offer versatility, working effectively on single doors, double doors, swing doors, and even sliding doors – unlike many electric strikes and latches that are limited to specific door types. All Security Equipment carries a wide variety of maglocks to suit your specific entry points.
Common uses:
-
Controlled Access Areas: Maglocks are ideal for interior doors with moderate security needs. An office building can use maglocks on server rooms or storage areas containing sensitive documents or equipment or a laboratory can use them on restricted access areas containing delicate research materials or chemicals.
- Securing Hazards: Maglocks can effectively restrict access to hazardous materials or equipment storage areas such as in a workshop where maglocks on tool cribs or chemical storage keep them safe.
Building Code Compliance:
In some cases, local building codes may require additional features like delayed egress functionality. Maglocks are a great option to meet such code requirements. A school building may require doors leading to stairwells to have delayed egress functionality, allowing occupants to exit freely during normal operation but delaying them slightly in an emergency situation. Maglocks with this feature can meet this code requirement.
Important Considerations:
Backup Power:
When used on security doors, maglocks require a backup power supply to ensure continued operation during power outages. Without electricity, the magnetic field dissipates, and the door unlocks. A backup battery system is crucial to maintain security in these scenarios.
