Securitron M62 1200lb Holding Force Magnalock, 12/24VDC

The Securitron M62 is a 1,200-pound fail-safe electromagnetic door lock with automatic 12/24 VDC operation, patented instant-release technology, and a satin stainless steel (US32D/630) finish. Designed for commercial interior and exterior access control, it draws 250 mA at 12 VDC or 150 mA at 24 VDC and features fully sealed weather-resistant electronics, corrosion-resistant construction, and a surface-mount installation system. The UL 294-listed Magnalock releases immediately when power is removed and includes a 10-foot factory-attached cable and Securitron MagnaCare lifetime replacement warranty.

Securitron M62 1200 lb Fail-Safe Electromagnetic Door Lock

The Securitron M62 is a heavy-duty, surface-mounted electromagnetic door lock providing 1,200 pounds (544 kg) of holding force for commercial, institutional, and industrial access control applications. Manufactured by Securitron, an ASSA ABLOY Group brand, the M62 Magnalock is designed to secure interior, perimeter, and exterior entrances requiring electrically controlled locking. Its fail-safe operating principle maintains the magnetic bond while electrical power is applied and releases the door when power is interrupted, making it suitable for properly designed access-controlled egress systems. The lock consists of a frame-mounted electromagnetic assembly and a door-mounted steel armature plate that align to provide the specified holding force. A brushed satin stainless steel US32D/630 architectural finish and fully sealed electronics provide corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments. The M62 is recommended for higher-security entrances where unauthorized access could result in significant property loss, including office buildings, warehouses, commercial facilities, schools, healthcare buildings, and secured building perimeters.

The Securitron M62 features automatic dual-voltage operation at 12 or 24 VDC without requiring field adjustment, allowing the Magnalock to recognize the applied supply voltage and configure its operating circuitry accordingly. The lock draws approximately 250 mA at 12 VDC or 150 mA at 24 VDC, providing low continuous electrical consumption for a 1,200-pound electromagnetic locking device. Its patented instant-release circuit eliminates residual magnetism when power is removed, allowing the armature plate to separate without the magnetic drag associated with conventional electromagnetic locks. Built-in transient suppression using a metal-oxide varistor helps protect the locking circuit from switching-related electrical disturbances. Because the M62 contains no moving mechanical locking components, it requires no conventional latchbolt, solenoid release mechanism, or mechanical key cylinder. The standard M62 does not include a magnetic bond sensor or door position switch; optional M62B, M62D, and M62BD configurations provide these monitoring capabilities for access control systems requiring lock or door status feedback.

The M62 incorporates a sealed stainless steel lock housing measuring 8 inches long, 3 inches high, and 1-3/4 inches deep (203 x 76 x 44 mm). Its matching armature plate measures 6 inches long, 2-3/4 inches high, and 1/2 inch thick (152 x 70 x 12 mm). The lock is designed for operation in temperatures ranging from -40 F to 140 F (-40 C to 60 C), supporting appropriately installed indoor and outdoor applications exposed to significant temperature changes. All ferrous metal surfaces are plated for corrosion resistance, while the fully sealed electronic assembly protects internal components from weather exposure and tampering. The lock includes 10 feet (3.05 meters) of factory-attached, jacketed stranded conductor cable for connection to an appropriately rated 12/24 VDC power supply and access control release circuit. Its mounting system uses high-strength steel machine screws and collapsing blind nuts to secure the magnet to compatible door frames. The armature plate mounts with a central through-bolt and resilient washers that allow limited movement for proper magnetic alignment. Available installation accessories include universal header brackets, aluminum spacer brackets, stop filler plates, offset strike plates, split strike plates, and architectural dress covers for adapting the M62 to different door and frame arrangements.

The Securitron M62 is designed for integration with electronic access control panels, proximity card readers, keypads, request-to-exit devices, emergency release switches, and compatible power supplies. Its surface-mount configuration accommodates appropriately prepared hollow metal, wood, and aluminum-framed doors, with specialty mounting arrangements available for gates and other nonstandard openings. The M62 is ANSI/UL 294 listed for access control systems, UL 10C listed for applicable fire-door applications, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.23 Grade 2, with additional CAN4-S104, CAN/ULC-S533, CSA-C22.2 No. 205, and California State Fire Marshal approvals identified in manufacturer documentation. Because the lock uses fail-safe magnetic holding, it must be installed with the required emergency release, fire alarm interface, and access-controlled egress provisions specified by applicable building and life safety codes. The standard M62 is intended for one controlled opening, while the DM62 provides a double-door configuration and the M62FG incorporates face-drilled mounting and gate conduit features for specialized applications. Securitron backs the M62 with its MagnaCare lifetime replacement, no-fault warranty, subject to manufacturer terms. Combining 1,200-pound holding force, low-current dual-voltage operation, weather-resistant construction, instant release, and adaptable mounting options, the M62 provides an electromagnetic locking solution for demanding commercial door security installations.
