MAGNALOCK The Electromagnetic Lock System That Will Outlast Your Door or Gate
|
||||||||||
MAGNALOCK OVERVIEW
Magnalocks
are designed to secure any type of door or gate that closes against a
fixed stop. The product consists of an electromagnet which mounts on the fixed frame and a
strike plate which mounts on the moving door or gate. The strike plate is delivered with
fasteners that permit it to flex so that when the door closes, it automatically self
aligns with the magnet. Magnetic force then takes over, strongly securing the door or
gate. Release is achieved by switching off power to the magnet.
CHOOSE THE INDUSTRY
LEADER
Securitron has been making electromagnetic locks since 1971 and has stayed at the
forefront thanks to a continuing program of engineering improvements. In security industry
trade journals, both installing dealers as well as end users have consistently chosen the
Magnalock as the most highly preferred product. We attribute this not
only to the product's features but to its proven performance in demanding
applications.
THE MODEL 62 SERIES
The Model 62 series offers high security with 1200 lbs. holding
force. Entry cannot be forced without special tools, or before the door or frame
gives way. It's recommended not only for high security openings, but for outdoor
use on all gate types too.
HIGH TECHNOLOGY MEANS
PERFORMANCE IN YOUR APPLICATION
Creating the world's best electromagnetic lock calls for serious engineering. During its
years of continued development, the Magnalock family has incorporated an array of advanced
features (both physical and electronic) that have made it what it is today. Along the way,
it has earned two separate U.S. patents and an impressive list of
certifications.
PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION
AND MOUNTING
A
lock should be tough. The Magnalock comes in a stainless steel case and
all ferrous metal surfaces are plated to military specifications. A 10 ft. integral cable
makes wiring easy and the Magnalock is at home indoors and out. Mounting
is via hardened machine screws into self-collapsing blind nuts (four screws with Model
62). Mounting screw holes are closed off with tamper caps. Sheet metal screws-which can
work free-are not used at all. Even the strike sex bolt has a massive 1-1/4" diameter
head. While the standard mounting hardware resists "casual" vandalism and is
considerably stronger than the holding force of the Magnalock, Securitron can supply
tamper proof hardware as an option for high vandalism areas. Securitron tamper proof
fasteners require special tools for installation and removal. We can supply these tools
for hand or battery operation.
ELECTRONIC PERFORMANCE
First, Magnalocks are remarkably efficient in power use. The 62 series operates on only 3
watts.(250 mA at 12VDC or 125 mA at 24VDC.) This benefit is especially important
when large numbers of Magnalocks are operated from a central power supply connected to the
fire alarm system. Magnalock efficiency generates large cost savings in wire gauge, power
supply and battery backup costs. Second, internal electronics eliminate
problems often found in other designs. We reverse out residual magnetism and accelerate
field collapse so that inductive kickback and EMI are suppressed so there's no arcing over
control switches or interference with nearby electronic devices. Ferrous metal aging which
could lead to stickiness over time is blocked. A U.S. patent has been granted on the
Magnalock's internal electronics.
THE BENEFITS OF
SECURING DOORS WITH MAGNETIC FORCE ALONE
Electromechanical strikes and locks have been around longer, but magnetic
locks are increasingly dominating the industry. Why? We see four answers: Reliability,
Security, Safety and Simplicity of installation.
Reliability. Anything mechanical
wears out. The Magnalock has no moving parts and therefore possesses an unlimited
operating life. Not many products perform for decades with no attention, but you can get
this performance when you select the Magnalock. In addition, the Magnalock is unmatched in
functional reliability. It releases every time when
switched off, as there is nothing to jam. Because of its self-aligning strike, it
secures every time the door closes. Problems of stiff latches and misaligned
bolts simply don't exist.
Security. Electromechanical
strikes and locks are positioned between the door and frame. They can be successfully
attacked with a saw, or by spreading the door from the frame with a lever. The Magnalock
mounts on the other side of the door from an intruder. The intruder must
defeat the door itself to get at the lock.
Safety. Magnalocks are often
employed to secure doors that are also emergency exit paths. In the event of a fire, it is
vital for life safety that the doors immediately release to permit evacuation. This is
done by routing the lock DC power through auxiliary contacts operated by the building fire
alarm system. When the fire alarm activates, power is removed from all the locks. As there
is nothing to jam, the Magnalocks release every time.
Installation Simplicity. The
Magnalock surface mounts using only a drill and allen wrench. There is no routing,
mortising or carpentry work needed. It also effortlessly handles all the unusual
situations where electromechanical locks and strikes don't work. Narrow stile doors,
double doors, roll-up doors, solid glass doors, badly fitted doors, swinging or sliding
gates of all types. Bring them on!
"Smart dual voltage". All Magnalock models automatically determine and adapt to 12 or 24 volt power by drawing the correct amount of current. There is no possibility of mis-wiring.
SURFACE MOUNT VERSION
INSWINGING DOOR MOUNT
The
"F" option - The "F" option provides for face
mounting on the header above the door. Mounting holes are drilled through the
magnet face and the wire exit is to the rear. The Z-62 bracket is normally used with
"F" Magnalocks.
CONDUIT FITTING OPTION
The
"G" option - The "G" option adds a 1/2" female-3/4"
male universal conduit fitting to allow conduit wiring for outdoors installations.
The "G" version is also useful for surface wired installations on concrete
filled door frames. This avoids the cost of drilling a wire way in the concrete.
ENERGY ABSORBING
HARDWARE OPTION
The
EASB is specifically designed for high security applications on stiff doors (such as
prison doors) where the door opens outwards into the protected area. This
permits an impact attack (as opposed to pulling the door). When the door is quite rigid,
the force of the impact transmits well to the lock. The EASB replaces the standard sex
bolt and includes a powerful internal spring which absorbs and dissipates
the force of the blow, replicating Magnalock performance on a more flexible door and
preserving optimum security. (See image at right)
