Magnetic lock (maglock) installation secures doors using electromagnetic force that locks when power is applied, offering reliable access control for commercial and high-traffic properties. Maglocks are fail-safe, code-compliant when installed correctly, and ideal for offices, retail spaces, and secured entry points requiring fast, controlled egress.

Before contacting a technician, a quick inspection can often reveal simple issues affecting maglock performance. Misaligned armature plates or an incorrect power supply voltage are common causes of weak or inconsistent locking, and checking these basics may restore proper operation without professional service.
A loose or misaligned armature plate can weaken a maglock’s holding force. Ensure the plate sits flush against the magnet when the door is closed, and that the mounting screws are secure but not overtightened.
Maglocks require the correct voltage (typically 12V or 24V). A mismatched power supply can cause weak or inconsistent locking. Check the labels on both the lock and power source to confirm they match.
Dust, metal particles, or residue on the magnet or armature plate can reduce contact and weaken the lock. Gently wipe both surfaces with a clean, dry cloth to restore full holding force and improve reliability.
Schlage maglocks are built for commercial use with monitoring features, HID maglocks support advanced access control systems, and Hikvision maglocks integrate with CCTV and security platforms.
Installation includes assessing the door and frame, mounting the magnet and armature plate, installing a 12V or 24V power supply, and testing holding force.
Maglocks use low-voltage wiring and must include a fire code–compliant emergency release, with battery backup recommended.
The type of door plays a major role in pricing. Glass, metal, and wood doors each require different mounting hardware and labor, with glass doors often needing specialized brackets or clamps.
Maglocks come in different strength ratings, typically from 600 to 1200 pounds. Higher holding force locks cost more and may require additional reinforcement or larger power supplies.
Meeting local fire and life safety codes may require extra components such as emergency release devices or fire alarm integration, which can impact the final cost.
