Magnetic locks - reliability in convenience

Not so long ago, magnetic locks appeared in our life. Their numerous positive qualities quickly made an excellent reputation and now it is difficult to find a home where such locks are not installed. They work almost silently and, thanks to the closer mechanism, do not make a sound when closing. Opening such locks is almost impossible. But it is necessary to install them in tandem with mechanical ones in case of a power outage. And if during installation you use the services of a professional, you can not worry about your home.

How to install a magnetic lock?

Of course, you can try your luck and try to install this mechanism yourself, but any smallest oversight can adversely affect the operation of the device. Each lock installer will tell you the benefits in terms of design. All magnetic locks are universal and include sets of various adapters that can be made from the same mechanism and the Euro door lock, and the lock for the bathroom, and the shutter for the interior doors. Also, right on the spot, specialists will be able to equip your lock with a card reader, or a fingerprint and retina reader. Depending on the purpose, you need to decide on the power of your mechanism, since the holding force varies by hundreds of kilograms. This parameter can also be adjusted during door operation.

Let's return to the issue of installing these electromagnetic devices. The two main parts of any magnetic lock are a metal plate that is attached directly to the door itself, and, in fact, the magnet itself, which is attached to the end of the door frame. A very important point is the correct installation of the plate in proportion to the magnet, since only with proper installation, the lock will be able to function flawlessly. The principle of operation is quite simple: a continuous current is supplied to the magnet, and when the system is closed with a special key, the supply is temporarily interrupted. Therefore, during installation, it is necessary to carry out all the electrics and connect the magnet to the system so that there are no short circuits during its operation. To protect your premises during installation, conduct all electrical equipment so that it cannot be reached from the outside, otherwise your safety will be at risk.

You can install the magnet and plate both on the surface of the door and box, or by cutting them inside. If your door opens in both directions, you do not need to put two plates or two magnets, the mechanism can work in this mode. Do not forget also about the installation of the exit button, which is installed on the side of the closed room. This button also connects to the electrical network and performs a function similar to keys - temporarily stops the supply of current to the magnet.

After the researchers found that the magnetic lock is designed for a service life of more than 20 years, it became clear that the ratio of price to quality of such mechanisms is many times higher than those of analogues. But remember that the installation, although it does not take a lot of time. If you want to secure your home and do it efficiently and in step with the times, then installing a magnetic lock is your choice.
