EM Lock 600 lbs — Electromagnetic Door Lock, 600 lbs holding force, 12V DC
Overview
Fail-safe electromagnetic lock for single doors, used with Cams biometric devices for door access control. The magnet holds the door with up to 600 lbs (about 280 kg) of force while powered and releases the moment the device, exit button or a power cut drops the supply, so the door never stays locked in an emergency.

- Mode: fail-safe (unlocked when power is off)
- Doors: wooden, glass, metal and fire doors; inward or outward opening with the matching L, U or Z bracket
