How a Gate Maglock Differs From a Standard Door Maglock

A standard maglock is designed for interior door frames with predictable mounting surfaces and controlled environmental conditions. A gate magnetic lock is engineered for outdoor exposure, which introduces variables that standard locks are not built to handle. Rain, dust, heat, and UV exposure all affect hardware over time, and a lock that is not rated for those conditions will fail in the field.

The VIS-SS800-G gate maglock used across our gate maglock kits carries an outdoor weatherproof rating and delivers 800 lbs of holding force. That holding force is higher than most single-door indoor maglocks because gate frames are subject to more physical stress, wind load, and the mechanical movement of gates swinging on hinges rather than operating within a rigid door frame.

Kit Options for Outdoor Gate Access Control

Our gate maglock kits are built around the same 800 lb outdoor gate magnetic lock. The difference between configurations is in how entry and exit are managed. Selecting the right kit depends on whether you need remote wireless access or integration into an existing access control system.

FPC-5194 Wireless Remote Kit

The FPC-5194 kit includes the 800 lb outdoor gate magnetic lock, a wireless receiver, a push-to-exit button, and two RF control remotes. This configuration is suited for gates where the operator needs to grant entry remotely without a keypad or card reader at the gate itself. The remotes communicate with the receiver to release the lock, and the push-to-exit button handles egress from the secure side of the gate.

FPC-7329 Weatherproof Exit Button Kit

The FPC-7329 kit includes the same 800 lb gate maglock paired with a weatherproof LED push-to-exit button that provides NO, NC, and COM output terminals, along with a 2 amp power supply. The NO, NC, and COM outputs allow this kit to integrate with access control panels, intercoms, and gate operators that require dry contact inputs to trigger lock release. This kit is the right choice when the gate maglock needs to work within a larger access control setup rather than operating on its own.

What Each Kit Includes

Every gate maglock kit in this collection ships with the VIS-SS800-G outdoor gate magnetic lock rated at 800 lbs of holding force. Each kit is fully weatherproof and designed for single-door outdoor gate installations. Everything required for a complete installation is included.

Where Gate Magnetic Locks Are Used

Outdoor gate magnetic locks are used in any setting where a gate needs to be secured with controlled credential-based or remote release access. Commercial properties use them on perimeter gates leading to parking areas, loading docks, and restricted exterior yards. Residential communities and multifamily properties use them on pedestrian gates and pool enclosures. Industrial facilities use them on fenced access points where the gate sees daily traffic from personnel and vehicles.

Our weatherproof gate maglocks are appropriate for installations in climates with significant heat, humidity, or precipitation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gate Maglocks

The questions below cover what buyers most commonly ask before selecting an outdoor gate magnetic lock. If your question is not covered here, our team is available by phone Monday through Friday.

Can a gate maglock be used with a gate operator such as a LiftMaster or Viking?

Yes, but it requires a kit that provides dry contact outputs. The FPC-7329 kit includes a push-to-exit button with NO, NC, and COM terminals, which can be wired into the auxiliary input of most gate operators to trigger lock release as part of the gate's open cycle. The Wireless remote kit in the FPC-5194 functions as a standalone remote-release system instead.

What type of gate frame is needed to install an outdoor gate magnetic lock?

Gate maglocks require a metal mounting surface on both the gate frame and the gate itself for the lock body and strike plate to seat correctly. Steel tube frame gates are the most common installation surface. Aluminum frame gates can work depending on the wall thickness. Wood gates present a challenge because the structural movement of wood over time can affect alignment. Bracket hardware is typically required to position the lock body correctly relative to the strike plate on the gate leaf.

What is the difference between the NO and NC outputs on a gate maglock exit button?

NO stands for Normally Open and NC stands for Normally Closed. These refer to the default state of the circuit at the output terminal when the button is not being pressed. A Normally Open circuit completes only when the button is activated. A Normally Closed circuit is complete by default and opens when the button is activated. Access control panels and gate operators differ in which input type they require, so having both outputs available on the FPC-7329 exit button allows it to connect to either type of system without additional hardware.

How is a gate maglock powered?

Gate maglocks require a DC power supply, typically 12V. The FPC-7329 kit includes a 2 amp power supply as part of the kit. The FPC-5194 kit includes an additional power supply for convenience when installing the wireless receiver. The power supply should be installed in a protected indoor enclosure whenever possible to prevent weather exposure to the electrical components.

Can an outdoor gate maglock be installed on a gate that is already wired for an intercom?

In most cases, yes. If the intercom system has a relay output or dry contact output that can be triggered when access is granted, that output can be wired to release the gate maglock. The FPC-7329 kit is the better option for this type of integration because its exit button provides NO, NC, and COM terminals that can interface with the intercom relay. The specific wiring method depends on the intercom model and its output configuration.
