A Revolutionary New Idea in Maglocks from Adams Rite
Pomona, CA-----Adams Rite Manufacturing Company introduces the new MS Maglock(TM), the latest product improvement from the leader in innovative door access and security hardware. Adams Rite has engineered a new class of maglocks that combines the convenience of an electromagnetic lock with the strength of a mechanical lock, all in an incredibly small, 6" x 2-3/4" x 2" package.
Unlike normal maglocks, which get larger in size and weight as the strength rating increases, the ingenious design of the MS Maglock utilizes a pair of spring loaded hardened steel mandibles that instantly clamp the armature in the event of a forced entry. With these mechanical jaws engaged, the MS Maglock's holding force is an incredible 4000 pounds, which is about 1,000 times its own weight!
This design allows the entire assembly to be much smaller and lighter, while outperforming virtually all traditional maglocks on the market today. For comparison purposes, the MS Maglock is smaller than a 600 lb. rated traditional maglock and about half the size and weight of a 1,500 lb. rated traditional maglock. Rated at 4,000 lbs., the Adams Rite MS Maglock has strength to burn. Overkill? Not in today's security-conscious business and institutional environments.
With its small size and weight, the MS Maglock is technician friendly and extremely easy to install on in-swinging or out-swinging doors of all kinds. The MS Maglock can be integrated into most access control systems such as card readers, key pads, key switches or pushbuttons. Operation is fail safe at all times, but the unit can be equipped with a battery back-up power supply. Additional options include a door position switch to detect attempts to open and a tamper alert sensor to verify positive engagement of armature and magnet.
