Magnetic locks
were designed to meet fire/life safety applications by providing
an auxiliary locking mechanism that has no moving parts to bind
or wear out for trouble free operation. This will ensure inhibited
release at all times where they have become extremely prevalent
in applications other than fire/life safety. In short, the main
function is to permit or deny entrance to in a given place.
Our inbuilt electronics eliminates
problems found in other locks by reverse out residual magnetism
& accelerate the field collapse; hence, the inductive kickback
will be suppressed.
The standard set forth for EM Locks
are measured in holding power.BHMA(Builders Hardware Manufacturing
Association) has recently put together criteria to be adopted by
ANSI(American National Standards Institute). According to BHMA/ANSI
standards, there are 3 grades of EM Locks.
Some common applications for EM
Locks are : Hospitals, Finance Institutions,Manufacturing firms,
Spastic Homes etc.
Electromagnetic locks offer a versatile,
truly fail-safe electric security device. The absence of mechanical
parts and linkages lend to a long life, low maintenance device.
Its popularity has led to the establishment of standards, codes
and approvals for guidance in its various applications. Increasing
enhancements through the development of sophisticated electronics
will broaden the future uses of these devices in electronic security
systems.
