Product Description
UK-MAGLOCK-500KG — spec summary
500kg holding force electromagnetic lock for external gates, specified for perimeter access control installations rather than internal door use.
- Holding force: 500kg
- Power input: dual voltage, 12V DC or 24V DC — select on install to match the existing access control PSU, no separate transformer required
- Build: weather-resistant housing rated for outdoor exposure
- Mounting: surface-mount, designed for metal gates and metal frames
- Integration: operates as a fail-safe electromagnet — power on to lock, power removed by the controller to release
- Control compatibility: keypads, card/access controllers, exit buttons, intercom systems
Application notes
On a job spec sheet this reads as a perimeter/external maglock, not a standard internal door magnet: use it on metal gates, external security doors, and perimeter entrances for residential blocks, commercial sites, apartment complexes and industrial yards.
Because it's dual voltage, the same UK-MAGLOCK-500KG unit drops into either a 12V or 24V access control power supply without needing a different part number for each rail voltage — useful when standardising stock across sites running mixed PSU voltages.
As with any electromagnetic lock, holding force is only achieved with the correct armature plate alignment and a stable power feed — check cable run and PSU rating at commissioning, particularly on longer external runs to the gate post.
Fail-safe operation means the gate releases on power loss, so confirm this suits the site's fire/egress requirements before specifying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the UK-MAGLOCK-500KG fail-safe or fail-secure?
It is an electromagnetic lock, which is inherently fail-safe: power holds the gate locked via the magnet and armature plate, and the gate releases when power is removed by the access controller.
Can the UK-MAGLOCK-500KG run on either 12V or 24V?
Yes, it supports dual voltage operation at 12V DC or 24V DC, so it can be wired into most existing access control power supplies without a separate model for each voltage.
What is the UK-MAGLOCK-500KG rated for outdoor use?
It has a weather-resistant construction intended for external installation, making it suitable for outdoor gates and perimeter access points.
What control equipment works with the UK-MAGLOCK-500KG?
It is compatible with keypads, access controllers and intercom systems, and is typically integrated with gate controllers and exit buttons in a perimeter access system.
