Looking for the perfect maglock to take your project to the next level?

To choose the perfect maglock that will take your project to the next level, it is crucial to consider its holding force. These maglocks are composed of an electromagnet installed on the door frame and a counterplate on the leaf. When the electromagnet is activated, it generates a magnetic force that firmly holds the door closed.

There are different holding force ranges available:

  • Lower power maglocks, with around 180 daN of holding force.
  • Higher power maglocks, which can reach up to 500 daN of holding force.

Our models:

Maglocks
  • ME Models: exclusive for narrow profiles and invisible installations (option to surface mount or embed).
  • MEX Models: designed for large installations requiring low consumption.

It is important to consider the type of door for which the maglock will be installed.

For internal doors, the necessary holding force will depend on the intended use. For basic closure, a holding force of 300 daN is usually sufficient. However, for high-security internal doors, especially in restricted access areas, a higher holding force, such as 500 daN, is recommended.

In the case of external doors, a standard holding force of 300 daN may be adequate to ensure secure closure during certain hours. However, if you seek additional security, especially when the building is unoccupied, a higher holding force of at least 500 daN is recommended.

Optimal security is the main consideration when choosing a maglock with the appropriate holding force for each type of door in your project.

How does temperature affect the performance of maglocks?

Did you know that the relationship between temperature and the performance of maglocks is crucial for their proper functioning? This is because temperature directly affects the solenoid, which plays a key role in the operation of maglocks.
