Electromagnetic locks (maglocks) provide powerful, reliable security for commercial doors while integrating seamlessly with access control systems. NC Local Locksmith installs, repairs, and maintains electromagnetic lock systems throughout Hubert, Jacksonville, Wilmington, Raleigh, Fayetteville, and Asheville.
We provide complete maglock solutions for offices, medical facilities, schools, and secure commercial environments.
Professional Maglock Services
We design and install electromagnetic lock systems, integrate with access control and card readers, install and configure power supplies, wire door position sensors and request-to-exit devices, ensure fire and building code compliance, troubleshoot system failures, replace damaged components, and upgrade existing systems.
Maglocks use electromagnetism to secure doors with holding forces ranging from 600 to 1,200 pounds or more. When power is applied, the electromagnet creates an incredibly strong bond with the metal armature plate on the door. When power is cut (by access control, fire alarm, or emergency release), the door instantly unlocks.
Why Choose Electromagnetic Locks?
Superior Strength – Holding forces exceeding conventional locks
No Moving Parts – Minimal wear and maintenance requirements
Fast Operation – Instant locking and unlocking
Access Control Integration – Works perfectly with card systems
Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure – Options for different security needs
Code-Compliant Installation
Building and fire codes strictly regulate electromagnetic locks. Exit doors must unlock during fire alarms, emergency exits require proper release mechanisms, and delayed egress must meet specific requirements. We ensure every installation complies with local codes while providing maximum security.
Our installations include proper power supply sizing, backup battery systems for power failures, request-to-exit sensors preventing nuisance alarms, door position switches confirming secure closure, and emergency release stations meeting code requirements.
Repair & Troubleshooting
Maglock problems typically involve power supply failures, misaligned armature plates, damaged wiring, failed door sensors, or control system issues. Our systematic diagnosis identifies problems quickly.
We replace failed electromagnets, repair wiring and connections, adjust alignment for proper contact, replace power supplies and batteries, and reprogram control systems.
System Integration
Maglocks work best when integrated with comprehensive security systems. We coordinate electromagnetic locks with card access control, video surveillance, alarm systems, and building management systems for unified security control.
