Product Description
UK-MAGLOCK-BRACKET is an aluminium alloy mounting bracket for electromagnetic (maglock) door locks, used where the lock body or armature plate cannot be fixed directly to the frame or door leaf.
Why it's specified on a job
Magnetic locks only deliver their rated holding force when the armature plate meets the lock face flush and square. If the door construction or frame profile prevents direct fixing, alignment is compromised and holding force drops. This bracket restores the correct offset so the magnetic faces mate properly on closing.
Typical applications
- Inward opening doors — provides clearance for correct maglock/armature alignment
- Glass door installations — mounts the lock where there's no direct frame depth to fix into
- Wooden and metal door leaves — used where the door construction rules out direct fixing
- Access control integrations — supports installations alongside card readers, keypads and door entry systems
Construction
Built from aluminium alloy for structural strength and long-term durability under repeated door operation.
Compatibility
Described by the manufacturer as compatible with most standard electromagnetic locks. No specific maglock part numbers, load ratings or armature dimensions are confirmed — check physical fit and hole spacing against the maglock and armature plate you're installing before specifying on a job.
Commonly deployed in commercial, office and apartment access control installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this bracket used for?
It provides a mounting point for an electromagnetic lock or its armature plate where the lock cannot be fixed directly to the door frame or door leaf, as with inward-opening or glass doors.
What is the bracket made from?
Aluminium alloy, chosen for structural strength and durability under repeated door operation.
Will it fit any electromagnetic lock?
It's described as compatible with most standard electromagnetic locks, but specific maglock models, dimensions and fixing centres aren't listed, so check physical fit before installation.
Does the bracket affect holding force?
Correct alignment between the armature plate and lock face is needed for a maglock to reach its rated holding force; this bracket is designed to provide that alignment where direct mounting isn't possible.
