Buying Guide

Holding force and use case

Match holding force (e.g., 130 lb vs. 280 kg/600 lb ratings) to the door type and expected traffic: higher ratings suit external or high-security doors, lower ratings fit cabinets and interior doors

Power and control compatibility

Confirm voltage and control needs—most commercial maglocks use 12V DC and integrate with existing access control systems or remote switches

Weatherproofing for outdoor use

Choose waterproof or outdoor-rated models for exterior installations to prevent corrosion and maintain magnetic performance in wet conditions

Mounting style and door swing

Verify mounting hardware and whether the lock supports in-swing or out-swing doors; some kits include mounting plates for easier retrofit

Accessories and remote control

Consider bundled accessories such as RF remotes, cables, or installation kits if you need wireless release options or simpler installs
