DynaLock 2511-EWT Series Single Lock - 12/24 VDC Early Warning Lock 650 Lb .

No. The 2511-EWT is built for a single outswing door, surface mounted on the frame with the armature on the door. For an inswing opening you need a bracket arrangement or a different mounting style, so this one is the wrong pick if the door swings toward you.

650 lbs is the holding force on the 2511-EWT, which suits interior and light perimeter commercial openings where a mini magnet fits the header. For a main entrance or an abused exterior door, step up to a full-size unit like the Dorma EML310 single-door magnet at 1500 lb or the Locknetics MG Series 600lb/1200lb model.

Not directly. The 2511-EWT is field selectable 12/24 VDC. For AC supply you add DynaLock part #7088, the pre-wired rectifier bridge, which is orderable as an option on the lock itself, so specify it at the time of order rather than sourcing it later.

The DynaLock 2511-EWT is a single lock for a single outswing door. For a pair, the Alarm Controls 1200D Series is a double magnetic lock and the Dorma EML320 is a double door electromagnetic lock rated 1500 lb. Ordering two single units for a pair is possible but the double series are built as one assembly for the header of a pair, which is usually the cleaner install for a contractor working off a drawing that shows a double opening.

The Dortronics 1000 Series industrial magnetic lock carries an SPDT door position switch and runs 12/24VDC dual voltage, field selectable, which matches the 2511-EWT on voltage handling and gives you door status without the early warning door movement sensor output the 2511-EWT adds. The Dorma EML310 single door magnetic lock with door position sensor is a second route to the same thing. Both give a security integrator the monitoring contact for the access control panel; the 2511-EWT is the one to keep when the specification calls for advance notice of door movement before the door actually opens.

The DynaLock 2511-EWT is surface mounted on the header of a single outswing door. Where the design does not allow a surface magnet, the Schlage Electronics 320M is a compact mortise sliding door electromagnetic lock at 1500 lbs. holding force, heavy duty, and the ROFU 8031-002 is a shear lock at 2200 LB holding force, 12/24VDC, monitored. Shear and mortise styles conceal into the frame and door rather than mounting on the face, which is the usual answer for a glass front or a sliding leaf where a surface unit is not an option.

Draw is 381 mA at 12V or 205 mA at 24V. Running the magnet at 24V roughly halves the current, which is what you want when you are feeding several openings off one supply or pulling a long wire run where voltage drop is a concern.

Yes. The bi-color LED for local signaling of lock status is only available with the Dynastat force sensor selected, so if you want the LED at the door you must order the sensor too. Both are selectable options on the 2511-EWT, and both are choices you make on the order form, not field additions.

The 2511-EWT mounts on the surface of the frame head with the armature on the door face, so it is visible and needs a clear 10-1/2 inch run along the stop. A shear lock such as the ROFU 8031-002 (2200 lb) mortises into the frame and door for a concealed installation, and the Schlage 320M is a compact mortise magnet for sliding doors. Surface mounting is faster and does not require milling the frame; shear and mortise units are what you specify when the architect wants nothing showing.

No battery is used. The magnet holds only while energized at 12 or 24 VDC, so it releases the moment power drops. That is standard fail safe behavior for a magnet and it is why the opening still needs code-compliant egress release and, where required by the AHJ, backup power on the supply side.

No. The 2511-EWT signals door movement and door status but it does not hold through an egress delay cycle. If the code requirement on your opening is delayed egress, the Alarm Controls 1200DE Series single door delayed egress magnetic lock is the product for that job.

The Dorma EML310 single door magnetic locks, both the door position sensor version and the bond alert plus door position sensor version, and the Dorma EML320 double door lock are listed as fire rated with an electrically locked, fail safe function. A magnetic lock releases when power is removed by nature of how it works, but when the AHJ wants the fire rating documented on a stairwell or corridor opening, the EML310 and EML320 carry it on their record. Bring that to the plan reviewer alongside whichever lock you specify.

The DynaLock 2511-EWT is field selectable 12/24VDC and requires part #7088, the pre-wired rectifier bridge, for VAC operation; that rectifier can be ordered on the lock rather than added later. If your supply is DC to begin with, the Dortronics 1000 Series, Locknetics MG Series, Locknetics WMG Series and ROFU 8512 all list 12/24VDC operation directly. A contractor pulling power from an AC transformer should plan on the rectifier bridge with the 2511-EWT; one landing on a DC access control power supply does not need it.

The DynaLock 2511-EWT offers a Dynastat force sensor as an ordering option, and the bi-color LED for local signaling of lock status requires that Dynastat force sensor. The Dorma EML310 BA DP is the bond alert plus door position sensor version of that lock, and the Schlage M390RFK carries a magnetic bond sensor along with its door status monitor. All three tell you the magnet is actually achieving bond rather than merely being powered, which is the distinction a security integrator cares about when the panel needs to know the door is truly secure.

The Alarm Controls 1200 Series is a single magnetic lock family and the ACSI 3710/3711 is from the 3700 Series of electromagnetic locks, so both cover the same single door surface magnetic lock role as the DynaLock 2511-EWT, which is a 650 lbs. commercial surface mounted magnetic lock for a single outswing door. What separates the 2511-EWT is its combination of early warning door movement sensor output and door status output. If your panel is only looking for lock power and a basic secure state, the 1200 Series or the 3710 covers the opening; if the sequence depends on advance movement detection, order the 2511-EWT.
