This weatherproof stainless steel maglock holds a gate or door closed with 280kg of magnetic force, and it comes with a mounting bracket. The stainless steel body is made for outdoor use, which makes it a good maglock for gate entrances as well as doors that face the weather. It is fail-safe: it releases the moment its power is cut, so an exit button, keypad or intercom opens it by switching the power off, and a battery-backed power supply keeps it locked through load shedding. The power supply, exit button and keypad are sold separately.
What's in the box
- 1 x 280kg stainless steel maglock with its armature plate
- Mounting bracket
The power supply and backup battery, the exit button, the keypad, card reader or intercom, and the cable are not included.
How a fail-safe maglock works
The magnet is fixed to the frame or gate post and the armature plate to the gate or door. While the magnet has power, it holds the plate with up to 280kg of force; cut the power and it lets go straight away. That is what fail-safe means, and it is why nobody is locked in when the power fails. The same thing happens during load shedding, so put the lock on a power supply with a backup battery that keeps it powered when the mains goes off.
Using a maglock for a gate or a door
The stainless steel body is weatherproof, so the lock can go on an outside pedestrian gate or an exterior door. For the lock to hold, the armature plate must sit flat against the magnet when the gate or door is closed. Gates and doors differ, so let your installer check the mounting bracket against your gate or door before fitting. Alectra supplies the equipment only; the lock is installed by your installer.
What else you need
- A power supply that matches the lock's operating voltage, with a backup battery. Ask the branch to confirm the voltage and current on the lock's label before you choose one.
- An exit button on the inside to release the lock.
- A keypad, card reader or intercom with a relay output on the outside, such as the SmartGuard wired keypad.
- Cable between the lock, the power supply and the controls.
