Hager 2965 Single Magnetic Shear Lock with 2700 Lbs Holding Force

Hager 2965 Single Magnetic Shear Lock with 2700 Lbs Holding Force

High-Security Electromagnetic Locking Solution

The Hager 2965 Single Magnetic Shear Lock delivers professional-grade security with 2700 lbs (1225 kg) holding force for commercial applications. This fail-safe electromagnetic lock operates on 800mA/400mA @ 12/24VDC with auto-sensing power input and features integrated electronics in a compact 1-5/8" (41 mm) depth design. Engineered for 1-3/4" - 2" (44 mm - 51 mm) frames, the lock accommodates hollow metal, wood, and Herculite doors with top rails.

Professional Features & Benefits

• Exceptional Holding Force: 2700 lbs (1225 kg) holding capacity without current inrush or high operating temperature for maximum security performance.
• Compact Installation Profile: 1-5/8" (41 mm) depth fits 1-3/4" - 2" (44 mm - 51 mm) frames with integrated electronics for streamlined installation.
• Flexible Power Options: Auto-sensing 800mA/400mA @ 12/24VDC operation adapts to various system requirements with fail-safe locking mechanism.
• Advanced Door Alignment Technology: Door static sensor ensures door is at rest and aligned before magnet energizes, eliminating potential for lock misalignment.
• Adjustable Configuration: Lateral adjustment of shear tabs compensates for warped or misaligned doors, with vertical adjustment of armature and delay relock sensor for wide door gaps.
• Durable Construction: Alloy shear tabs maintain continued high holding force without profiling of soft armature steel that may wear and reduce holding capacity.
• Optional Monitoring Systems: Available Door Position Sensor (DPS), Magnetic Bond Sensor (MBS), and Anti-Tamper Switch (ATS) options provide comprehensive status monitoring.
• Noise Reduction Design: Built-in noise dampeners reduce sound associated with locking and unlocking operations for quieter performance.
• 2,700 lbs (1225 kg) holding force without current inrush or high operating temperature
• Integrated electronics
• 1-5/8" (41 mm) depth for 1-3/4" - 2" (44 mm - 51 mm) frames
• Door static sensor ensures door is at rest and aligned, before the magnet is permitted to energize (eliminates the potential for lock misalignment)
• Lateral adjustment of shear tabs to compensate for warped or misaligned doors, permitting accurate locking
• Vertical adjustment of both the armature and the adjustable delay relock sensor compensates for wide door gaps
• Unique floating action for easy armature lift when the magnet is energized and provides ability to overcome wide door gaps
• Alloy shear tabs ensure continued high holding force
• No profiling of the soft armature steel that may be prone to wear and reduced holding force
• Noise dampeners reduce the noise associated with locking and unlocking
