What is a Magnetic Lock?
Magnetic or maglocks are access control devices that use electromagnetic force to help secure doors.
They offer a reliable and secure method of controlling access to rooms, areas, and buildings.
The magnetic lock comprises two components: the electromagnet, which generates a powerful magnetic field when activated, and the magnetic plate attached to the door frame, which interacts with the electromagnet.
Once you activate the electromagnet, the magnetic force holds the magnetic plate in place, preventing the door from opening. To unlock the door, you need to deactivate the electromagnet.
You can find the maglock used in different settings from:
- Commercial Buildings: Offices, retail stores, and industrial facilities
- Residential Properties: Homes and apartments
- Public Institutions: Schools, hospitals, and government buildings
Hence, these locks effectively control access to most doors to enhance security.

Benefits of Magnetic Locks
Installing magnetic locks on your premises has loads of benefits:
- Magnetic locks offer high security, making it difficult for anyone to access your building or home.
- The maglock has a durable design offering you long-term performance.
- You can easily integrate a magnetic lock with other systems like biometrics, card readers, or keypads with control over who accesses or exits an area.
- These locking systems provide fail-safe operation by automatically unlocking in the event of a power outage, making them vital for ensuring safety and security.
Common Magnetic Lock Issues We Repair
Magnetic locks are very reliable, but they can encounter problems.
Here are the common issues you need to be aware of:
- Power Supply Faults
When the magnetic lock does not receive enough current, it cannot generate the magnetic force needed to secure a door.
Sometimes, faulty wiring can prevent a lock from obtaining power and cause it to malfunction.
The same happens with a power outage, as the maglock automatically unlocks, but it also depends on the design.
- Misalignment
When the magnetic plate on the frame is not aligned correctly with the electromagnet, it will not engage correctly.
Even shifts to movement in the magnetic plate affect the functionality of the maglock.
- Control Failures
When an access control system, such as the keycard or keypad, fails, the lock cannot work correctly. Even a software glitch in the access control system can affect the lock’s operation.
- Wear and Tear
Depending on how the magnetic lock is used, electromagnet degradation can occur, making the lock less effective. The magnetic plate can also become damaged, preventing interaction with the electromagnet. Other components in the lock, like the springs and hinges, can become worn out with time.
If you are experiencing any of the concerns above, do not hesitate to call us to have it repaired.
