Tech Tips: Electromagnetic Locking Devices



This installment of TechTips will discuss some details concerning electromagnetic locking devices; we will cover design of the control circuits and remote control stations in a future installment.
An important aspect of specifying and installing electromagnetic locks is knowing when an electromagnetic lock is appropriate to use. Because the perception is that an electromagnetic lock is easy to install, end-users and dealers may be inclined to use them even if they are not the best choice for a door.
Remember that electromagnetic lock deployments are subject to close scrutiny by AHJs, and AHJs decisions vary, so we have no way of predicting how an AHJ will rule on your particular situation.
When electromagnetic locks were first introduced, the options available for electrically controlling openings were far more limited than they are now.
Additionally the applications for electrical door control were more limited due to expense, the perceived security risks in our culture, and the market’s knowledge and understanding of the potential uses for electric locking and the benefits which could be enjoyed.
While the types of electric locking devices available have greatly increased, the cost of hardware has gone down, the threat level has increased, and the ways in which electric locking systems can used continue to expand.
So while access control is the fastest growing industry category according to many studies, electromagnetic locks are not the fastest growing type of electric locking solution.
