magnetic door locksMagna Locks and other magnetic locks are increasingly popular in businesses across England as they can be easily integrated with security systems offering keypad key card sensor or push-button operation, a magnetic lock is a durable and highly secure option.

Fail-Safe Or Fail-Secure?

Usually magnetic locks are installed as a failed secure option where an interruption to the power supply will leave the door secured shut.  Failsafe options are available where a loss of power will open the lock mechanism.  Usually failsafe mechanisms are used to protect property and failed secure options are used to protect people.

Business Or Domestic

Typically a magnetic lock will be most suitable for a business or commercial premises application as initial cost of installation is quite high, and the main advantage of durability and speed is less important in a domestic setting than a business environment.  There is also less need for simple granting of access to many people in domestic environments.
