High-strength, code-compliant maglocks for metal, glass, and storefront doors — integrated with access control.

Magnetic locks provide powerful, reliable door security and are designed to release safely on power loss or fire alarm. We size hardware (600 lb or 1200 lb), install clean brackets for your door type, wire power supplies/controllers, and integrate with keypads, card/fob readers, intercom buzzers, and fire systems.

What We Install

  • Single-door & double-door surface-mount maglocks
  • Glass/aluminum storefront installs with L/Z brackets & top rails
  • Header mounts, dress plates, and clean cable management
  • Power supplies, relays, REX (request-to-exit) devices & timers
  • Integration with keypads, card/fob readers, intercom buzzers, & fire alarm

We select bracket kits and holding force based on your door, frame, and traffic.

Where Maglocks Make Sense

  • Main entries & high-traffic interior doors
  • Offices, clinics, schools, multi-tenant lobbies
  • Glass storefronts & aluminum frames
  • High-security areas tied to access control

Maglocks vs. Electric Strikes

  • Maglocks: High holding force; clean for glass/storefront doors; requires power to lock; must release on alarm/power loss.
  • Electric strikes: Often better when you want mechanical latch retention without constant power; good for latch-bolt doors.

We’ll recommend the right option for code compliance, traffic, and hardware you already have.

Our Installation Process

  1. Survey & Quote: Confirm door/frame type, usage, and code requirements.
  2. Hardware Selection: 600 lb or 1200 lb, bracket kits, power supply, and controls.
  3. Mount & Wire: Install magnet/armature, mount brackets, run power & control wiring.
  4. Integrate: Tie-in to keypad/card reader/intercom & coordinate fire alarm release.
  5. Test & Document: Verify lock/REX/alarm release; provide maintenance guidance.

Repairs & Maintenance

We troubleshoot maglocks that won’t lock (power supply, relay, alignment) or won’t release (sticking armature, residual magnetism, control logic). We realign hardware, replace failing power supplies, fix wiring faults, and set proper delay/REX timing so doors operate smoothly and safely.

FAQs

Do maglocks unlock automatically on power loss?

Yes. Maglocks are fail-safe by design—loss of power releases the door. We also wire fire alarm release where required.

Can maglocks be used on emergency exits?

Yes, when installed to code with proper release devices (REX sensors, push-to-exit, fire alarm integration). We’ll configure the right hardware for compliance.

How long does installation take?

Most single-door installs take a few hours including wiring, mounting brackets, and system integration. Multi-door systems vary based on cabling and controls.

Will a maglock damage my glass door?

No. We use purpose-built brackets and rails designed for glass/aluminum storefront doors to protect the door and ensure strong holding force.

Do you offer warranty?

Yes. We back our work with a 5-Year Warranty on parts and labor.
