Securitron M32 600lb Holding Force Magnalock, 12/24VDC

The Securitron M32 is a Grade 3, surface-mounted electromagnetic door lock with 600 lbs of holding force and automatic 12/24 VDC voltage sensing for commercial access control applications. It features patented instant-release technology, fully sealed weather-resistant electronics, and a brushed stainless steel finish (US32D/630). The M32 draws 300 mA at 12 VDC or 150 mA at 24 VDC, supports indoor and outdoor installations, and includes a 10-foot conductor cable. It is UL 294 and UL 10C Listed and backed by Securitron's MagnaCare lifetime replacement warranty.

Securitron M32 600 lb Grade 3 Electromagnetic Magnalock

The Securitron M32 Magnalock is a surface-mounted, fail-safe electromagnetic door lock designed to provide 600 lbs (272 kg) of holding force for commercial and institutional access control systems. Manufactured by Securitron, an ASSA ABLOY brand, the M32 provides electrically controlled locking for secured interior rooms, restricted-access corridors, offices, and other openings where physical assault on the door is not expected. The standard M32 features a direct-mount configuration with a separate armature plate, allowing the electromagnet to secure the door when energized and release it when electrical power is removed. Its architectural brushed stainless steel finish (US32D/BHMA 630) provides a clean appearance for commercial door hardware installations. The M32 is designed for integration with compatible access control readers, request-to-exit devices, emergency release controls, and regulated power supplies, making it suitable for new construction and retrofit electronic locking applications.

The Securitron M32 operates on 12 or 24 VDC with automatic voltage sensing, eliminating the need for manual voltage selection during installation. The lock draws 300 mA at 12 VDC or 150 mA at 24 VDC, providing consistent electromagnetic holding performance with relatively low current consumption. Its patented instant-release circuit eliminates residual magnetism, allowing the armature plate to disengage promptly when locking power is interrupted. Integrated metal oxide varistor (MOV) protection suppresses electrical transients associated with lock operation, while fully sealed electronics protect internal circuitry from environmental exposure and tampering. All ferrous metal surfaces feature corrosion-resistant plating, and the lock is rated for indoor and outdoor operation from -40 F to +140 F (-40 C to +60 C). These features support dependable operation in commercial access control environments exposed to changing temperatures and weather conditions.

The M32 features a compact electromagnetic lock body measuring 8 inches long, 1-5/8 inches deep, and 1-7/8 inches high, with a matching armature plate measuring 6-1/4 inches long, 1/2 inch deep, and 1-5/8 inches high. The assembled lock and strike require a minimum of 2-1/4 inches of flat mounting space for proper installation. The electromagnet mounts to the door frame using steel machine screws and collapsing blind nuts, while the armature attaches to the door using the supplied mounting hardware. A factory-supplied 10-foot (3.05-meter) jacketed, stranded conductor cable supports connection to the access control power circuit. The M32 is designed for direct surface mounting, while optional Securitron brackets, header extensions, armature accessories, and decorative dress covers support alternate door and frame configurations. Proper alignment between the magnet and armature plate is essential to achieve the manufacturer's rated holding force. Its compact dimensions and adaptable mounting hardware allow installation on compatible metal, wood, and aluminum-framed openings.

The Securitron M32 is designed for commercial offices, secured interior rooms, institutional facilities, storage areas, and access-controlled doors requiring fail-safe electromagnetic locking. The standard M32 provides electromagnetic locking without integrated door position or magnetic bond monitoring, while the M32B adds BondSTAT magnetic bond sensing, the M32D adds a door position switch, and the M32BD combines both monitoring functions. Face-drilled mounting configurations are available separately in the M32F series. The M32 is ANSI/BHMA A156.23 Grade 3 compliant and ANSI/UL 294 Listed for access control applications, with additional UL 10C, CAN4-S104, CAN/ULC-S533, and CSA-C22.2 No. 205 listings identified in Securitron's manufacturer documentation. Its fail-safe design releases the door when electrical power is removed, requiring appropriate emergency egress controls and installation according to applicable building and fire safety codes. Combining 600 lbs of holding force, automatic dual-voltage operation, instant-release technology, weather-resistant construction, and flexible mounting options, the Securitron M32 provides a dependable electromagnetic locking solution for professionally installed access control systems. The product is backed by Securitron's MagnaCare lifetime replacement, no-fault warranty.
