Electric Locking for Double Doors

The AEM20004 maglock is designed for doors requiring fail-safe security. With its 545kg holding force, it protects against unauthorised entry, making it ideal for securing doors in medium-traffic areas and access-controlled areas or buildings.

Unlike traditional mechanical locks, this maglock has no moving parts, reducing wear and tear and minimising maintenance requirements. The lack of residual magnetism also ensures consistent operation, preventing the armature plate from sticking unnecessarily.

Maglocks still require regular maintenance and the armature plate must be clear of any dirt or debris to correctly magnetise and deliver the full holding force. Include visual and operational checks as part of your door hardware maintenance routine.

Seamless Integration with Access Control Systems

The AEM20004 maglock is fully compatible with access control solutions, including keypads, proximity readers, push-to-exit buttons, and emergency door release units. The integrated monitoring output provides status updates on door positions.

The double LED status indicator, visible for 180°, gives a clear visual confirmation of whether the door is secured correctly. This feature is beneficial in buildings where multiple entry points require monitoring, helping to reduce the risk of security breaches.

Simple Installation and Fire Safety Compliant

The AEM20004 is surface-mounted, making it easy to install on wooden, metal, and glass doors (with the right fixing kit). With dual voltage 12V/24V DC self-regulation, it integrates seamlessly into existing security systems without requiring additional modifications.

For outward opening doors, L brackets are available, while Z&L brackets allow for installation on inward opening doors. The unit's slimline design ensures a neat, professional finish that blends into modern commercial and public-sector facilities.

Security is only part of the equation—fire safety compliance is equally important. The AEM20004 maglock is fire-rated for 30-minute and 60-minute timber fire doors when used with the correct intumescent kit. It is also CE marked ensuring it meets all necessary UK safety and performance regulations for commercial fire door hardware.
