Everything you need to know about Maglocks

A maglock, or magnetic lock, is an electronic locking device that utilises electromagnetic force to secure doors. Unlike traditional mechanical locks, maglocks depend on electricity to remain locked. When power is supplied, a strong magnetic bond forms between an electromagnet mounted on the door frame and a metal armature plate attached to the door. Maglocks are commonly used in commercial settings and high-traffic areas where controlled access, durability, and integration with access control systems are essential. Because they have no moving parts, maglocks are known for their reliability and long service life.
