Buying Guide: What to Consider Before Purchasing

Investing in the right magnetic lock avoids costly replacements and ensures your premises stay secure. Consider the following factors before making a purchase:

  • Holding force rating: standard commercial applications typically require 280 kg (600 lbs), while high-security zones may demand 540 kg (1200 lbs) or greater.
  • Voltage compatibility: verify whether your existing access control panel outputs 12 V DC or 24 V DC to match the lock's input requirements.
  • Door material and weight: heavy steel fire doors, lightweight aluminium frames, and glass panels each require specific mounting hardware.
  • Fail-safe vs. fail-secure: magnetic locks are inherently fail-safe, releasing on power loss. This meets fire-safety regulations but should factor into your backup power planning.
  • Integration: confirm compatibility with your existing access control readers, intercoms, push-to-exit buttons, and fire alarm tie-ins.

Our product listings include full technical specifications, wiring diagrams, and dimensional drawings so you can verify fit before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What holding force do I need for a magnetic lock?

The required holding force depends on door size, weight, and security level. Standard commercial magnetic locks rated at 280 kg (600 lbs) suit most interior office and retail doors. High-security or heavy external doors typically require 540 kg (1200 lbs) or above. 

Can magnetic locks integrate with existing access control systems?

Yes. The magnetic locks available at NeonSales are designed for universal compatibility with industry-standard access control panels, proximity card readers, biometric scanners, and intercom systems. Most models accept 12 V DC or 24 V DC input and include standard wiring terminals, allowing straightforward integration into new or existing setups across South Africa.

Do magnetic locks work during load shedding?

Magnetic locks are fail-safe devices, meaning they release when power is cut. During load shedding, a backup power supply such as a battery-backed UPS or dedicated access control power supply unit is essential to maintain security.
