Maglocks

Size a maglock by the door it holds, where it is fitted and what the access system needs to know about it.

Holding force

Slim maglocks such as the STP STEALTH01 and STP-EM01 hold 275kg, which suits most indoor applications where 275kg holding force is sufficient; standard models such as the STP-EM10 and STEALTH10 hold 545kg for doors that need more. Micro locks such as the STP-EM150 hold 136kg where space is tight, and the Magnetic Solutions MS5SSU holds 100 kg on cabinets and drawers.

Monitoring and door status

An unmonitored lock simply holds. A lock-monitored model, such as the STP-EM02 or STEALTH02, adds an LED and relay contacts that report whether the lock is engaged, and a DS model, such as the STP-EM01DS, adds a contact reporting whether the door is open or closed. The STP STEALTH-STANDSKIT and STEALTH-SLIMDSKIT retrofit door status to STP standard and slim maglocks.

Fire doors and exits

Fire-rated versions such as the STP-EM01-FIRE, STP-EM10-FIRE and STP-EM20DS-FIRE are FD30 and FD60 tested, and the CDVI C3S11 is fire tested to EN 1634 for 30 minutes. Because a maglock lets go when its power is cut, it can be wired to release on a fire alarm signal or a break-glass point.

Gates and outdoor doors

External maglocks such as the STP STP-EXT1200 and RGL EXML1200-GATE-M have weatherproof stainless steel cases for gates and outdoor doors, and the CDVI I300ER is a stainless mortice lock for external use.

Supply voltage

Most of the maglocks here are rated for 12V or 24V DC, selectable on models such as the STP-EM10DS and CDVI C3S11; the STP-EM10 draws 500mA at 12V and 250mA at 24V.
