Product Description
UK-MAGLOCK-DOUBLE-560KG — twin-magnet lock for two-leaf openings
Two independent 280kg magnets sit in one housing, giving 560kg combined holding force across both door leaves. Each leaf gets its own armature plate, so the doors lock and release as separate magnetic circuits rather than sharing a single field.
Power and current draw
- Dual voltage: 12V DC or 24V DC, selectable to suit the access control power supply on site
- At 12V DC, draw is approximately 500mA per magnet
- At 24V DC, draw is approximately 250mA per magnet
- Plan PSU and PoE-adjacent power budgets around two magnets per unit, not one
Build and application
- Zinc alloy housing for durability in indoor installations
- Rated for -10°C to +55°C operation
- Fits glass, wooden, metal, fire-rated and sliding door leaves
- Suited to double-door entry points in offices, commercial premises and other controlled access installations
How it operates
Current supplied to the magnet holds the armature plate against the housing; removing power (via controller, keypad or emergency release) drops the field and releases both doors. This fail-safe release behaviour is standard for electromagnetic locks and is why they're typically wired through fire alarm interfaces on escape routes — confirm against the site's fire strategy before specifying.
Since the lock is dual-voltage, it drops into most existing 12V or 24V access control installations without a separate PSU swap.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the holding force of this maglock?
It provides 560kg combined holding force, made up of two independent 280kg magnets, one per door leaf.
Does it run on 12V or 24V?
Both — it's dual voltage, drawing approximately 500mA per magnet at 12V DC or 250mA per magnet at 24V DC.
What door types can this be fitted to?
The lock is suitable for glass, wooden, metal, fire-rated and sliding door installations.
What's the operating temperature range?
It's rated from -10°C to +55°C for indoor access control environments.
