Hi/Shear® magnetic locks are ideal for use on commercial grade hollow metal and wood doors and frames and Herculite doors with top rails.

Horizontal Mount installation only (not suitable for use in vertical orientation)

Door Static and Alignment Sensor

The door static sensor ensures that the door is at rest and aligned, before the magnet is permitted to energize, eliminating potential for lock misalignment.

Vertical Alignment Adjustment

Vertical adjustment of both the armature and the adjustable delay relock sensor compensates for wide door gaps.

Alloy Steel Shear Tabs on Lock and Armature

Alloy shear tabs are used on both the lock and the armature to ensure continued high holding force. There is no profiling of the soft armature steel that may be prone to wear and reduced holding force.
