Alarm Controls 600WP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Alarm Controls 600WP mag lock hold up outdoors on a perimeter gate?
That's what the 600WP was built for. The magnet is completely sealed in a stainless steel case, non-aluminum parts are plated to resist corrosion, and the leads come out through armored cable with a metal end cap. Operating range is +14 to +131F (-10 to +55C), so a hard winter below 14F or a black-metal gate baking past 131F is outside what it's rated for. Works on sliding or swinging gates.
2) Does the 600WP gate lock run on 12V or 24V?
Both. It's field configurable for 12 or 24VDC, and you pick the voltage when you order. Current draw is 500 mA at 12 VDC and 250 mA at 24 VDC, so size the supply accordingly. On a long run out to a gate, 24V is the easier choice because it halves the current and the voltage drop over the cable.
3) Does the 600WP magnetic gate lock unlock when the power goes out?
Yes, it's fail-safe. Cut power and the magnet releases, so the gate is free. That means a power loss leaves the opening unsecured, which is the tradeoff on any mag lock. If the gate has to stay locked through an outage, a mag lock is the wrong device type and you want a mechanical latch or an electric strike with fail-secure operation instead. Every electromagnetic lock ZenSupply carries in this class works the same way, including the Dorma EML310, which is listed as electrically locked (fail safe).
4) What size is the Alarm Controls 600WP magnet and armature, and will they fit a narrow gate frame?
The magnet measures 8-21/32 x 1-9/32 x 1-1/8 inches and the armature measures 7-9/32 x 1-21/32 x 1/2 inches. Those are the footprints to check against your gate post and leaf before you drill. If your frame is tighter than that, look at a slim line unit like the Dortronics 1107, a narrow 2 inch profile 600 lb single door mag lock.
5) What do I need to mount an Alarm Controls 600WP on a gate, and what drill size?
Top mount is direct. Side mounting needs brackets, and those are ordered separately, so add them to the order if the magnet isn't going on top of the frame. The lock ships with blind nuts and self-drilling TEC screws, and you drill 23/64 inch diameter holes for the blind nuts. Leads are 12 inches, color coded, in armored cable, so plan a junction point within reach of the magnet.
6) What do I use instead of the 600WP on a pair of gates or double doors?
The Alarm Controls 600WP is a single magnet lock. For a double opening, the Dorma EML320 is a double door electromagnetic lock at 1500 lb, and the DynaLock 2250 Series is a double electromagnetic lock at 1200 lb, surface mounted for outswing or inswing single or double doors. The DynaLock 2050 also covers single or double doors in a single 1200 lb magnet configuration. The other route is two 600WP magnets, one per leaf, which keeps the weather resistant sealed stainless steel construction on both sides of the opening - the double-door peers above are not described as weather resistant.
7) Which magnetic lock should I specify if the fire marshal wants a fire rated opening?
The Alarm Controls 600WP is a weather resistant magnet for perimeter gate applications. Where a fire rating is called out on the drawing, the Dorma EML310 and EML320 carry a fire rating - the EML310 is a 1500 lb single door magnet available with a door position sensor, or with bond alert plus door position sensor, and the EML320 is the 1500 lb double door version. All three Dorma units are electrically locked, fail safe, which is the same power-off-to-release behavior as the 600WP, so egress wiring and the release logic at the panel carry over.
8) Can I use a standard indoor mag lock on an exterior gate instead of a weather resistant one?
No. Indoor surface mag locks like the DynaLock 2011 or the Schlage M420 are built for interior single doors and nothing in their spec covers outdoor exposure. The 600WP is the weather resistant build: sealed stainless case, plated non-aluminum parts, armored lead cable, rated +14 to +131F. If you need weather resistance with more force or built-in monitoring, the Locknetics WMG Series weatherproof mag lock and the Dortronics 1000 Series are the other outdoor-rated options ZenSupply stocks.
9) Can I use the Alarm Controls 600WP on a double gate or a pair of leaves?
It's a single lock, one magnet and one armature, so it secures one leaf. For a pair you either order two 600WP units, one per leaf, or go with a double-door magnet. ZenSupply carries the DynaLock 2250 Series double electromagnetic lock at 1200 lb and the Dorma EML320 double door magnet at 1500 lb, though both of those are surface mount door units rather than weather resistant gate hardware.
10) Can the 600WP be used on a fire rated door assembly?
The 600WP is perimeter gate hardware, clear anodized, built for sliding and swinging gates outdoors. For an interior fire rated opening, use a magnet listed for it: the Dorma EML310 single door and EML320 double door both carry a fire rating in our records and are electrically locked, fail safe.
11) Is there a lighter duty magnetic lock than the 600WP for an interior door?
Yes. The Schlage M420 in the M400 Series is a 500 lb single door electromagnetic lock, a step below the 600 lb holding force of the Alarm Controls 600WP, and suits interior openings like an office suite or a stair door where the magnet is not exposed. The Dortronics 1107 in the 1100 Series is another compact choice, a narrow 2 inch slim line 600 lb single door mag lock that matches the 600WP on force in a slimmer housing for a narrow stile frame. Neither is built for exterior exposure the way the 600WP is with its sealed stainless steel case and 14 to 131F operating range.
12) For a sliding gate, is the 600WP the right magnet or should I look at a sliding door lock?
The Alarm Controls 600WP is stated as ideal for sliding or swinging gates, so it covers both leaf types with the same 600 lb magnet and weather resistant sealed stainless steel case. The Schlage Electronics 320M is also a sliding door lock, a compact mortise electromagnetic lock at 1500 lb, but it is morticed into the opening rather than surface mounted with brackets, which makes it a fit for a finished interior slider rather than a gate track. The Dortronics 1000 Series industrial magnetic lock is the alternative when the sliding gate also needs an SPDT door position switch outdoors.
13) Are all these magnetic locks fail safe, or do some lock on power loss?
The Alarm Controls 600WP is fail-safe, meaning the magnet releases when power is removed. The Dorma EML310, EML310 with bond alert, and EML320 are all listed as electrically locked, fail safe, so they behave the same way on a power drop or a fire alarm release. That consistency matters when you are standardizing a facility on one release scheme - a mixed fleet of magnets on the same fire alarm relay should all drop together, and any of those Dorma units alongside the 600WP will.
14) What finish does the Alarm Controls 600WP gate magnet come in?
Clear anodized, US28, and that's the only finish it's built in. On an aluminum or galvanized gate frame it reads as a plain satin silver, which is usually what you want on a perimeter opening. Matching it across a run of gates is straightforward since there is no second finish to specify.
15) Is there a battery backup in the 600WP, or does it need a dedicated power supply?
No battery in the unit. It draws from an external DC supply, 500 mA at 12 VDC or 250 mA at 24 VDC, and being fail-safe it drops open the moment that supply stops. On a gate at the end of a long run, put a supply with battery standby ahead of it if the opening needs to stay locked through an outage.
