How do magnetic locks work?
Magnetic door locks are reliable, easy to install, and operate quickly. They are also durable due to their minimal moving parts. They use an electromagnet to secure doors; when electricity flows through the electromagnet, a magnetic field attracts and holds an electromagnetic plate on the door to a corresponding plate on the frame, locking the door.
These locks therefore require continuous power to remain locked, and can be vulnerable to power outages without a backup system. In the event of a fire, however, this allows access-controlled doors to become fire exits.
Where to install magnetic lock systems?
Magnetic locks are commonly used in commercial buildings, secure facilities, emergency exits. This type of lock can be wired into the fire alarm system, meaning that the magnets will deactivate when the fire alarm is triggered. This allows access-controlled doors to become emergency exits in the event of a fire.
