Electromagnetic Lock Guide: 280KG Fail-Secure Magnetic Lock With Signal Feedback

Electromagnetic Lock: How a 280KG Maglock Secures Glass and Fire Doors

For offices, shops and commercial buildings, few locks are as discreet as an electromagnetic lock. The SK-280 electromagnetic lock holds doors with 280kg / 600lbs of magnetic force and releases instantly when you cut power.

Three Models, One Door Solution

Pick the 2-wire standard model for simple release with an indicator light, the 5-wire feedback model for door status and alarm signals, or the fully sealed waterproof model for outdoor use.

Fail-Safe by Design

Power loss means the lock opens — that is the fail-safe rule behind every fire code. When the fire alarm cuts the circuit, doors release automatically so people can exit. No keys, no panic bars, no obstruction.

Built to Hold and Built to Last

The magnesium-aluminum alloy body is sandblasted, anti-rust and scratch-resistant, with holding force verified by pull tests. Five-wire sealed wiring resists water damage, and the slim 250 x 48 x 28mm body mounts neatly on door frames.
