LOX EM3500FM Electromagnetic Flush Mount Maglock Slimline 280kg Monitored

Product SKU: 770600-310

Product Overview

The Lockwood EMZ8-WSM Weather Resistant Electromagnetic Maglock Single Monitored 12/24VDC is a heavy-duty magnetic locking solution designed for external or exposed door installations. Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, this maglock provides strong holding force and reliable fail-safe operation for access control systems. Its weather-resistant construction allows installation on gates, perimeter doors and exposed entrances, while integrated monitoring outputs provide real-time feedback to security systems about lock status and magnetic bond condition.

Why Choose the EMZ8-WSM

The EMZ8-WSM is engineered for installations where standard electromagnetic locks may be exposed to moisture, dust or outdoor conditions. Its durable housing protects internal components while maintaining strong magnetic performance and reliable locking. Dual-voltage capability allows installers to select either 12VDC or 24VDC operation depending on the access control system being used. With Hall-effect bond monitoring, silent operation and self-aligning armature design, the lock delivers dependable performance for both new installations and security upgrades in demanding environments.

Key Capabilities

Key Features

• Weather Resistant Construction: Designed for exposed installations such as external doors, gates and perimeter access points where environmental protection is required.

• Dual Voltage 12VDC / 24VDC: The lock supports site-selectable voltage operation, allowing integration with a wide range of access control power systems.

• High Holding Force: Provides magnetic holding strength of approximately 550–580kg, helping maintain secure door closure in commercial installations.

• Silent Magnetic Operation: With no mechanical latching components, the lock operates quietly without buzzing or mechanical wear.

• Hall Effect Bond Monitoring: Monitoring sensors confirm that the magnet is energised and the armature plate is correctly bonded, improving system awareness for security monitoring.

• Flexible Installation Options: The lock can be installed on timber, aluminium or steel door frames with horizontal or vertical mounting options.

FAQs

1. What makes this maglock weather resistant?
   The EMZ8-WSM is designed with protective housing and materials that allow it to operate in exposed environments where moisture, humidity or dust may be present. This makes it suitable for gates, external doors and other locations where standard indoor magnetic locks may not perform reliably.
2. What does monitored maglock mean?
   A monitored maglock includes sensors that detect whether the magnet is energised and properly bonded to the armature plate. This information is sent to the access control system, allowing it to confirm whether the door is securely locked.
3. Can the EMZ8-WSM be used with access control systems?
   Yes. The lock is designed to integrate with electronic access control systems such as card readers, keypads and intercoms. When connected to a controller, authorised users can unlock the door electronically while the magnetic lock maintains security when power is applied.
