Your commercial property is only as secure as its weakest entry point. And for many storefronts and office buildings, that weak point is a standard mechanical key system. Keys get lost, disgruntled employees leave with copies, and standard lock cylinders can be compromised. It's time to upgrade to heavy-duty access control.
The Power of Electromagnetic Locks
A magnetic lock (maglock) relies on electromagnetism rather than a physical latch. When power is applied, an electromagnet mounted on the door frame bonds to an armature plate mounted on the door. This bond can withstand upwards of 1,200 pounds of force. There are no moving parts to break, no keyways to pick, and brute force is rendered entirely useless.
Total Access Control
The true power of a maglock system isn't just the holding force—it's the control. By pairing a maglock with an access control keypad or card reader, you instantly eliminate the need for physical keys. You can grant access to employees, restrict entry to specific hours, and instantly revoke credentials with a click of a button.
Safety and Compliance
Installing a commercial maglock isn't a DIY job. Building codes mandate that these locks fail-safe, meaning they must automatically release during a power outage or when tied into a fire alarm system. Improper installation can trap occupants inside during an emergency, leading to severe liabilities and code violations.
At EZ Locksmith, we design and install fully code-compliant maglock and push-bar systems that keep intruders out while ensuring your employees and customers are always safe. Protect your assets the right way.
