Electromagnetic Shear Locks
Electromagnetic shear locks are used generally
in one of two applications.
Firstly, they are an ideal lock to fit
onto a double action or "swing thru" door. The
locks are recessed into the head of the door and the door
frame and they only lock when the door has been opened and
has returned to its closing position. The magnets sense
that the door is closed and the locking plate is pulled
up into the magnet creating a "shear" holing force
of around 1500Kgs.
The second application is on any door where
you don't want to see the magnet. As the locks are fully
recessed they don't interfere with the aesthetics of the
door set.
Shearlocks are fail safe and are ideal
for use on doors where there is a requirement to link into
the fire alarm system.
