Collection: Magnetic Door Locks

How an Electromagnetic Door Lock Works

An electromagnetic door lock holds the door using voltage, not mechanical hardware. When power runs to the lock body, the electromagnet bonds to the armature plate on the door face. That bond holds as long as power is active. When power is cut, whether by an exit button, a card reader, or a fire alarm relay, the bond releases instantly and the door opens freely.

Because there are no moving parts, an electromagnetic lock does not wear the way a traditional deadbolt or latch does over time. The lock body and armature plate can cycle through thousands of open and close events without the mechanical degradation common to keyed or lever hardware. The LED indicator on each unit provides a visible confirmation of lock status at a glance, so you are not physically checking the door to verify it is secured.

Choosing the Right Magnetic Door Lock System

Selecting the right magnetic door lock system comes down to two factors: how much holding force the door requires and what bracket configuration fits your door type and swing direction. We carry three holding force tiers, each available in multiple mounting options to cover the most common interior door configurations.

300 lb Electromagnetic Lock

The 300 lb option is designed for standard interior doors, light commercial access points, cabinets, and safes where the goal is controlled entry rather than maximum forced-entry resistance. Kit options are available for inswinging doors using L and Z brackets, glass door installations using a U bracket, and outswinging configurations bundled with a compatible power supply. Available in silver, black, and white finishes.

600 lb Electromagnetic Lock

The 600 lb tier suits higher-traffic interior doors and access points where a stronger hold is needed. Single door and double door configurations are both available, with the double door version handling paired panels at 600 lbs per leaf from a single controller connection. Kit options cover inswinging L and Z bracket configurations and outswinging power supply bundles. Available in silver, white, and black finishes.

1200 lb Electromagnetic Lock

The 1200 lb models offer the highest holding force indoor magnetic door lock in our collection and are the right fit for reinforced doors, server rooms, and commercial access points where forced-entry resistance is the priority. Bracket options include L and Z kits for inswinging doors, U bracket kits for frameless glass doors, an LS bracket kit for narrow outswinging doors, and a double door configuration for dual-panel openings. Available in silver and white finishes.

Pairing Maglocks for Doors with Access Control Equipment

A magnetic lock for door security does not operate on its own. Each unit requires a power source and a control signal to function. That signal can come from an access control panel, a keypad, a card reader, or a request-to-exit button. Every model in this collection operates on 12 VDC or 24 VDC, which is the standard voltage range for commercial magnetic door lock installations, and is compatible with the access control equipment we carry.

For installations covering multiple openings, our double door models simplify wiring by connecting two leaves to a single power and control circuit. Wiring diagrams are included with each unit. Because improper installation can affect both performance and safety, we recommend having a qualified installer handle the wiring and access control integration. If you need to source a complete setup, we carry compatible keypads, card readers, and power supplies alongside this collection.
