Standard Magnetic Lock 1200lbs (545kgs) Monitored Holding Force

In professional security environments, a lock that simply holds a door closed is only half the solution. The Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock integrates advanced Hall-effect sensors that detect the presence of the armature plate. This allows the Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock to send a “Lock Status” (LS) signal back to your access control panel or alarm system. Whether it’s a 600lb ($280\text{kg}$) internal door or a 1200lb ($545\text{kg}$) perimeter entry, the Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock ensures you know instantly if a door is truly secured or if it’s being held open by a physical obstruction.

Built from high-grade architectural aluminum and zinc-plated steel, the Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock is a “fail-safe” device. This means that in the event of a power failure or fire alarm activation, the Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock releases instantly, allowing for safe egress. Its monitored nature makes it a critical component for audit trails, high-security compliance, and automated building management systems.

Why Monitoring is Essential for Professional Access Control

The “Monitored” functionality of the Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock transforms a passive magnet into an active data point in your security network.

• Real-Time Latch Feedback: The Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock confirms the physical bond between the magnet and armature, preventing “false secure” readings.

• Dual-Color LED Indicator: Most Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock units feature an onboard LED (Red/Green) for at-a-glance local status checks.

• Voltage Versatility: Operates on both 12V DC and 24V DC, making the Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock compatible with almost any power supply.

• Built-in Surge Protection: Includes integrated MOV (Metal-Oxide Varistor) technology to protect sensitive electronics from back-EMF spikes.

• Anti-Residual Magnetism: Features a spring-loaded kick-off pin to ensure the Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock releases without “sticking” when power is cut.

• Tamper-Resistant Fixings: The Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock is supplied with security bolts to prevent unauthorized removal or interference.

• Architectural Finish: Typically finished in Satin Anodized Aluminum to coordinate with standard commercial door hardware.

Achieving a High-Security Monitored Installation

For a Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock to report correctly, the armature plate must be allowed to “float.” The central bolt should be tightened only enough to hold the plate, while the rubber washer provides the necessary pivot. This allows the plate to find its own “seat” against the Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock face for 100% surface contact, which is required to trigger the internal monitor.

When wiring the Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock, we recommend using the Normally Closed (NC) contact for your alarm loop. This creates a “supervised” circuit where a cut wire or a forced door will immediately trigger a “Door Forced” or “Security Breach” alert at the control desk. Secure your facility with a Standard Monitored Magnetic Lock that offers both the physical brawn and the digital intelligence your system requires.
