Securitron M62FG 1200 lb Face-Drilled Gate Magnalock

The Securitron M62FG is a heavy-duty, weatherproof electromagnetic gate lock delivering 1,200 pounds of holding force for exterior gates, perimeter entrances, and commercial access control systems. Part of the Securitron M62 Magnalock Series, this fail-safe magnetic lock features a face-drilled mounting configuration, integrated gate conduit fitting, and automatic 12/24 VDC dual-voltage operation. It draws 250 mA at 12 VDC or 150 mA at 24 VDC and incorporates a fully sealed, corrosion-resistant construction designed for indoor and outdoor installations. The M62FG includes a 10-foot jacketed electrical cable, electrical transient suppression, and compatibility with optional Securitron Flex-Mount gate brackets for swinging or sliding gate applications. Measuring 8 inches long, 3 inches high, and 1.75 inches deep, the lock operates in temperatures from -40 F to +140 F and is backed by Securitron's MagnaCare lifetime replacement warranty.

Securitron M62FG Magnalock 1,200 lb Weatherproof Electromagnetic Gate Lock

The Securitron M62FG is a high-security electromagnetic locking device designed to provide 1,200 pounds (544 kg) of holding force for commercial, industrial, and perimeter access control installations. Manufactured by Securitron, an ASSA ABLOY brand, this specialized configuration of the M62 Magnalock incorporates face-drilled mounting holes and a gate conduit connection for installation on exterior gates and other access-controlled openings requiring protected electrical connections. Its fully sealed, weather-resistant construction supports reliable operation in demanding environments where conventional indoor magnetic locks may be unsuitable. The M62FG is appropriate for secured parking facilities, commercial entrance gates, industrial properties, warehouses, equipment enclosures, and institutional sites requiring electronically controlled gate locking.

The M62FG delivers 1,200 pounds of magnetic holding force through an electromagnetic assembly that secures a compatible steel armature plate when electrical power is applied. Its fail-safe operating design releases the locking force when power is removed, allowing integration with compatible access control controllers, authorized release switches, and properly designed emergency egress systems. The lock incorporates a face-drilled mounting arrangement, with mounting fasteners installed through the front face of the magnet rather than through the conventional top mounting configuration. An integrated gate conduit connection accommodates protected electrical wiring in exterior environments. The supplied universal threaded conduit fitting features a 1/2-inch female and 3/4-inch male connection, and the lock includes approximately 10 feet (3.05 meters) of jacketed, stranded conductor cable to support installation.

The Securitron M62FG features automatic dual-voltage operation at 12 or 24 VDC, eliminating the need for manual voltage selection or field adjustment. The electromagnetic assembly draws approximately 250 mA at 12 VDC and 150 mA at 24 VDC, providing relatively low electrical consumption for a high-holding-force security lock. Integrated metal oxide varistor (MOV) transient suppression helps protect connected electrical equipment against voltage spikes generated during locking circuit operation. The lock can be integrated with appropriately rated access control power supplies, relays, and security controllers. As a continuously energized fail-safe device, it must receive uninterrupted power while a locked condition is required, with any standby battery arrangements and emergency release requirements determined by the installation design and applicable building and life safety codes.

The M62FG features a fully sealed, corrosion-resistant construction designed for indoor and outdoor operation. Ferrous metal components receive protective plating to resist rust, while the enclosure and protected wiring arrangement help withstand weather exposure in exterior applications. The magnetic lock body measures 8 inches long, 3 inches high, and 1.75 inches deep (203 x 76 x 44 mm), while the standard armature plate measures approximately 6 inches long, 2.75 inches high, and 0.5 inches deep. The lock is rated for ambient operating temperatures from -40 F to +140 F (-40 C to +60 C), supporting installations exposed to seasonal temperature variations. Proper mounting surface preparation, armature alignment, mechanical clearance, and appropriate cable protection are essential for maintaining the specified magnetic holding force and dependable operation.

The Securitron M62FG is compatible with optional Flex-Mount gate bracket kits for swinging and sliding gate installations, allowing the magnetic lock and armature assembly to be positioned for different gate configurations. The optional Securitron SASM Shock Absorbing Strike Mount is designed to reduce the impact and rebound forces associated with heavy gates that close forcefully, helping protect the magnetic lock, gate structure, and mounting hardware. Customers requiring additional lock condition monitoring can select alternative M62FG configurations equipped with BondSTAT magnetic bond sensing or an integrated door position switch. The standard M62FG is supplied without these optional monitoring functions or the SASM assembly, allowing installers to select accessories according to specific access control, gate movement, and security monitoring requirements.

The Securitron M62FG is part of a professional electromagnetic locking product family with manufacturer-documented approvals including UL 10C, ANSI/UL 294, CAN/ULC-S533, and applicable ANSI/BHMA A156.23 requirements. Its heavy-duty magnetic holding capacity, weatherproof construction, protected conduit connection, and automatic dual-voltage operation make it a practical solution for controlled exterior gates and high-security access points. Installations involving pedestrian egress, fire-rated openings, or emergency evacuation must comply with applicable codes and incorporate appropriate release devices and control arrangements. The M62FG is supported by Securitron's MagnaCare lifetime replacement, no-fault manufacturer warranty, providing long-term product protection for qualifying installations. Combining 1,200-pound holding force, durable exterior construction, and flexible gate mounting options, the M62FG delivers a dependable electromagnetic locking solution for commercial and industrial perimeter security systems.
