Concealed Security: The Benefits of a Mortice Maglock

This Adams Rite mortice maglock is an excellent choice for doors where aesthetics and controlled access are key considerations. Unlike bulky surface mounted maglocks, this unit is concealed within the door frame, making it less prone to vandalism and more visually appealing.

The 262 mini maglock provides a reliable solution for securing restricted areas within buildings when integrated with components such as power supply units, keypads, proximity readers, exit buttons, and emergency break glass units to create a comprehensive access control system.

Key Considerations for Installing the 262 Mini Maglock

This Adams Rite Armlock maglock is designed for concealed installation, fitting inside the door and frame to maintain a clean and unobtrusive appearance. No additional mounting brackets are required. 

Check the following factors to ensure your door is compatible with this maglock:

• For internal use only.
• Door gap must not exceed 3mm.
• Not suitable for fire doors.

When installing this maglock, ensure that exit buttons and emergency break glass units are positioned on the positive side of the maglock, between the power supply and the magnet. This placement effectively breaks the circuit, allowing for prompt unlocking.

Finding the Perfect Electric Lock

The Adams Rite 262 mortice maglock is designed for non fire rated, single action doors where a fail safe locking solution is required. However, if your application differs, you may need an alternative solution:

For fire rated doors: Choose a surface mounted maglock such as the Adams Rite 261.

For fail secure applications: Consider an electric strike or solenoid lock, which provides a fail locked function to maintain security when power is lost.

For double action doors: A shearlock, such as the Adams Rite 1354, is a more suitable option.
