Electromagnetic Locks – High-Security Locking Solutions

Secure, Reliable, and Built for Access Control

When it comes to securing commercial buildings, not all locks are created equal. Electromagnetic locks (maglocks) provide fast, fail-safe security and seamless integration with access control systems, making them ideal for modern security-conscious facilities.

At ZenSupply, we carry a wide range of maglocks that deliver instant holding power, no moving parts, and integration-ready designs for today’s access-controlled environments.

Whether you're outfitting a corporate office, healthcare facility, school, or secure government site, ZenSupply makes it EASY to source and ship the maglocks you need for serious security and compliance.

Why Electromagnetic Locks Matter

Electromagnetic locks provide powerful holding force without traditional latches or bolts. They use an electrical current to bond an armature plate to an electromagnet, creating a secure seal with no friction, no wear-and-tear, and no mechanical failure.

Maglocks Deliver:

✅ Instant lock and release

✅ Fail-safe operation (unlock on power loss)

✅ No moving parts minimal maintenance

✅ Clean, surface-mounted installation

✅ Compatibility with keypads, cards, fobs, sensors, and fire systems

They’re especially suited for doors that need to be locked quickly, released remotely, and monitored 24/7.

Common Questions

Q: What does “fail-safe” mean?
A: Fail-safe locks unlock when power is lost required for most fire egress doors.

A: Yes. With the right brackets and shear locks, maglocks can secure frameless glass doors.

Q: Do maglocks meet fire and life safety codes?
A: Yes, when paired with REX devices and tied into fire alarm systems. Always confirm local codes.

Q: How do maglocks compare to electric strikes?
A: Maglocks are ideal for fail-safe scenarios and faster releases. Electric strikes are better for mechanical override and fail-secure needs.
