MAGNETIC LOCKING MAIN
[Delay Egress System] [Standard Magnetic Locks] [Shear Magnetic Locks]
Magnetic locking devices from brand name manufacturers such as
Security Door Controls (SDC), Locknetics, and Securitron can help your
facility's access needs. There are a few primary types of maglocks that
fit a wide variety of applications.
This page will give a
brief description of magnetic locking products.
You can contact a qualified system engineer
at the bottom of this page to design a custom package to fit your need.
We strongly suggest that you contact us in
order to help suggest a correct solution.
Smart Maglocks and
Delay Egress
Systems
Maglocks are available with a variety of onboard circuit boards which
are capable of multiple functions.
Manufacturers
such as Locknetics, Security Door Controls (SDC), and Securitron have made significant advances in locking
technology.
Features such as these are common in the more advance magnetic locks
- Audit trail capability
- Delay egress systems built in
- Forced door and propped door alarms and outputs
- Ability to have multiple users at an opening (100 unique codes
with audit capability for instance)
- Ability to require credentials at an opening (Proximity or magnetic
stripe cards for instance)
- Multi door control via computer uplink
- Built in egress sensors

Shear
Maglocks
Typical maglocks use a pull principle in order to achieve their holding
force. A shear maglock typically uses mechanical locking tabs and
grooves in order to increase its holding force. The advantages of
shear maglocks:
- Can be installed in a mortise configuration (concealed) or surface
- Concealed installation offers better security and appearance
- Greatly higher holding force (typically 2,500 lbs or more)
- Available as surface mount units
 Standard
maglocks
While the smart and shear maglocks are extremely advanced the standard
maglocks have not changed very much over the past 20 years. This
consistency has allowed manufacturers to focus on such things as lowering
power consumption while providing higher holding forces. A standard
type magnetic lock offers advantages over mechanical hardware:
- Long lasting performance (no moving parts)
- Silent operation
- Low installation costs (compared to smart maglocks and shear
maglocks)
- Wide variety of mounting configurations (offset strike, inswing,
outswing)
Egress devices (Request to Exit)
Every time an electronic locking device is installed we need to consider
access and egress. Egress devices are always required when using
magnetic locks. Without an egress device the magnetic lock will not
know when to unlock. A variety of egress devices are common and
depending on the location of the installation will be required to meet
local codes:
- Request to exit motion detectors
- Request to exit pushbuttons
- Exit device hardware with extra switches for request to exit
switching
- Request to exit bars with capacitance sensors
- Other sensors
- Pushbutton switches with pneumatic timers
Egress sensors and buttons or combination of these units will ensure
the safety of the occupants of a secure area in the event of fire or other
emergency.
