SDC’s article from the July, 2024 issue of Locksmith Ledger highlights the fact that electromagnetic locks are virtually problem-free and appropriate for interior doors, perimeter exit doors and entrances that require failsafe emergency release capability.

BACK TO BASICS: ELECTROMAGNETIC LOCKS

In 1983, SDC’s EMLock® design became the standard in electromagnetic locking innovation. EMLocks were the first electromagnetic lock to feature an interlocking quick mount assembly with captive mounting screws to simplify installations. With a second-to-none complimentary offering of mounting brackets, kits and hardware, EMLocks can meet virtually any application. It is no wonder “EMLock” is used synonymously for premium electromagnetic locks throughout the industry today.

Over the years, SDC’s electromagnetic product offering has expanded to meet narrow header, sliding door, gate, cabinet and hazardous applications.

Electromagnetic Locks

SDC’s electromagnetic locks are suited for interior doors, perimeter exit doors and entrances that require failsafe emergency release capability. Our patented EMLock® design represents the pinnacle of magnetic lock evolution with modular assembly that makes them easy to stock, install, upgrade, and maintain. The interlocking EZ mount assembly with capture mounting screws leaves hands free for wiring and securing of mounting screws.

The overall benefits of electromagnetic locks versus other electric locking devices are that they allow fire safety requirements to be easily met while providing security and access control for a building’s occupants.
