Description
A magnetic lock is an electromagnet mounted on the frame with a metal plate on the door. While it has power, it holds the door firmly shut; when the reader, exit button or intercom cuts the power, the door is released. With no parts that wear out from use, it is very common on glass doors in offices, shops and apartment tower lobbies.
There is one point to understand clearly: this type of lock opens when it loses power. That is why we always install it with a power supply and backup battery, so the door does not stay open during an outage, and with an exit button on the inside, so no one gets locked in. On emergency exits, it is coordinated with the fire alarm system when there is one.
We choose the holding force and brackets based on the type and weight of the door. It can be combined with fingerprint or card readers, keypads, video intercoms and intercoms.

Frequently asked questions
Does the door open if the power goes out?
Without power, a magnetic lock releases the door. That is why we install it with a battery-backed power supply, which keeps it locked during the outage for as long as the battery allows.
Does it work on a frameless glass door?
Yes, with special brackets for glass. During the visit we check the type of door and the bracket it needs.
