This consistency has allowed manufacturers to focus on such things as lowering power consumption while providing higher holding forces.
Mag lock strike plate.
Magnetic force holds doors closed.
Works in combination with a mechanical locking mechanism by replacing the standard fixed strike of the lock with an electronically controlled strike.
Pull strength may be different based on the application.
An electromagnetic lock magnetic lock or maglock is a locking device that consists an electromagnet and an armature plate.
Maglocks have not changed very much over the past 20 years.
An access control device is used to trigger the strike plate and release the lock bolt or latch.
Both of these devices can be activated by a range of tools including passcodes biometric readers keycards or buzzers.
An electromagnetic lock magnetic lock maglock is a locking device that consists of an electromagnet and an armature plate.
Maximum pull strength rating given is based on installation with the furnished strike plate.
A vailable in several sizes for a variety of frame dimensions filler plates extend narrow stops to provide a proper mounting surface for the magnetic lock on the underside of a hollow metal frame.
By attaching the electromagnet to door frame and the armature plate to the door a current passing through the electromagnet attracts the armature plate holding the door shut.
