Frequently Asked Questions
Are electromagnetic door locks fail-safe or fail-secure?
Electromagnetic locks are fail-safe. They hold locked while power is applied and release automatically when power is cut. This is the standard configuration required in most commercial buildings under fire and life safety codes, because building exits must remain clear during an alarm event or a power outage. If your installation requires a lock that stays locked without power, electromagnetic locks do not provide that. That would require a fail-secure device type, such as an electric strike or electric bolt lock.
Do I need a separate power supply for each lock in a double door kit?
Not necessarily. A single power supply can drive both lock units in a double door kit as long as it has enough current capacity to cover the combined draw of both locks at the voltage you are using. Check the current draw specification for the specific model you are ordering and confirm your power supply's amperage rating at 12V or 24V before finalizing your setup.
How do these maglocks connect to a fire alarm system?
The standard method is to route the lock's power supply through a normally closed relay on the fire alarm panel. When the panel triggers, it opens the relay, which cuts power to the lock and releases the door. This is commonly called a door holder relay or magnetic lock release relay. Your fire alarm contractor or Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) can confirm the exact wiring configuration required for your building type and occupancy classification.
What is the difference between an L bracket and a Z bracket for maglock installation?
Both brackets offset the lock body so the armature plate on the door can make full contact when the door is closed. The L bracket provides a single-direction offset and is used when the door face is slightly recessed from the frame. The Z bracket provides offsets in two directions and is used when there is both a vertical and horizontal gap between where the lock body needs to mount and where the armature plate will land. Having both on hand ensures you have the right hardware for your specific frame geometry.
Can these maglocks be installed on glass doors?
Yes, but additional hardware not included in these kits is required. Glass door installations need a frameless glass door clamp or top rail header that provides a mounting surface for the armature plate on the door itself. The lock body mounts to the frame or a header bracket above the door. Before ordering for a glass door installation, confirm that the glass thickness and edge treatment are compatible with the clamp hardware you plan to use.
Is 600 lbs of holding force sufficient for a commercial door?
For most standard interior commercial doors, yes. A 600 lb holding force per leaf is adequate for offices, clinics, and similar environments where the primary requirement is controlled access rather than resistance to forced entry. For higher-security interior doors where forced entry is a greater concern, specifying the 1200 lb configuration is the more conservative choice. Access control integrators and building security consultants typically make this call based on the door's location and the risk profile of the space it secures.
