Highlights

Magnetic locks and Electric Strikes

There are a variety of automated door locking systems available. You can select either a magnetic lock or electric strike to secure a door.

Magnetic locks are used in high security areas where you need to monitor the movement of people. Since people are required to use their access cards in both directions, you can track who enters and leaves a secure area.

Electric strikes are easy to install and are used to secure outer and inner doors, but do not prevent egress from an area like the magnetic lock. It replaces the fixed strike place in a standard lock.

There are a variety of locks available for many different applications. Details of some of the locks available are shown below. Contact us for assistance in selecting the right lock for your requirements. We don't just sell at the lowest price, we also provide valuable technical support to make sure you get the right products.

These locks work with our Access Control systems, and integrate with our IP cameras providing a complete system solution.

The locking system uses an electromagnetic and armature plate to secure the door. The electromagnet is attached to the door frame while the armature plate is attached to the door. A current passes through the electromagnetic so that it is magnetically attracted to the armature plate holding the door closed. The magnetic strength can provide over 1500 lbs. of holding force. Locks with higher magnetic force can be used to secure an outer door, while lower force locks can be used to secure inner doors.

The locks require special power supplies that can be integrated into a fire panel. It is important to assure that the locks can be released if an emergency situation occurs.

DE8310 Provides all-in-one delayed egress for single out swinging doors. Options include built-in camera, alarm sound and voice audio.

Here is a list of some magnetic locks that are available:

8365 Mortise MicroMag	For Sliding Doors on Drawers or Small Enclosures
8380 GateMag	For Single or Double Swinging or Sliding Interior or Exterior Gates

The Electric Strike is easy to install and are used to secure outer and inner doors, but does not prevent egress from an area like the magnetic lock. It replaces the fixed strike place in a standard lock. Like a fixed strike, it normally presents a ramped surface to the locking latch allowing the door to close and latch just like a fixed strike would. To exit from a secured area, the door can be opened by using a knob or level.

To simplify installation, it is important to use locks that require less than 500ma of current. This allows the reader to be powered over Ethernet. The electric locks from Rutherford Controls are examples of this type of low power lock.

Electric strikes generally come in two basic configurations:

Fail-secure. Also called Fail-locked or non-fail safe. In this configuration, applying electrical current to the strike will cause it to open. In this configuration, the strike would remain locked in a power failure, but typically the knob can still be used to open the door from the inside for egress from the secure side. These units can be powered by AC which will cause the unit to "buzz", or DC power which will offer silent operation, except for a "click" while the unit releases.

Fail-safe. Also called Fail-open. In this configuration, applying electrical current to the strike will cause it to lock. In this configuration, it operates the same as a magnetic lock would. If there is a power failure, the door would open merely by being pushed/pulled open. Fail safe units are always run using DC power.

Here is a list of some Electric Strike locks that are available:
