Armature Housing for Outward Opening Doors – ML600 Maglock Range

In high-end commercial environments, the visual impact of security hardware is a primary concern. A standard armature plate, when bolted directly through a door, leaves a visible “sex bolt” or “button head” on the exterior side. The armature housing (also known as an armature holder or mounting box) eliminates this issue by encasing the plate within a sleek, low-profile aluminum shell. This allows the armature housing to be surface-mounted directly to the door leaf, hiding all internal fixings and providing a streamlined, professional appearance that complements modern interior design.

Beyond aesthetics, the armature housing serves a functional purpose. It provides additional structural support for the armature plate, especially on thin-skin metal doors or glass-paneled frames where traditional through-bolting is impossible. By utilizing, you ensure that the plate remains perfectly parallel to the magnet, maintaining the maximum holding force of your access control system.

Why an Armature Housing is the Professional Standard

Crafted from high-tensile architectural aluminum, the armature housing is designed to provide a rigid, vibration-resistant platform for your lock hardware.

• Concealed Fixing Design: The armature housing hides all mounting screws and bolts, preventing tampering and improving the door’s outward appearance.

• Surface-Mount Versatility: Ideal for doors where through-bolting is not an option, such as fire-rated doors or thick timber leaves.

• Improved Plate Alignment: It keeps the plate stable and properly centered, reducing the risk of “drag” or misalignment.

• High-Strength Aluminum Build: Forged from 6063-T5 alloy, the armature housing is built to withstand the constant impact of daily door use.

• Anti-Residual Magnetism: The materials used in a quality armature housing do not interfere with the lock’s release timing.

• Universal Maglock Fitment: Available in sizes to fit standard 600lb (280kg) and 1200lb (545kg) armature plates.

• Architectural Finishes: Usually available in Satin Silver or Matte Black to match the Adjustable Z and L Brackets.

Achieve a High-End Security Finish

When installing an armature housing, it is vital to retain the “floating” nature of the armature plate. It is designed to hold the plate securely while allowing the rubber washer (supplied with the maglock) to provide the necessary pivot. This allows the plate to find its own “seat” against the magnet face for 100% surface contact.

For a truly premium look, ensure the armature housing is perfectly centered on the door stile. If you are using a Double Z and L Bracket set, matching armature housings on both door leaves will create a symmetrical, balanced look at the header. Secure your entryway that offers the perfect marriage of structural strength and architectural elegance.
