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.
