Magnetic Lock & Request-to-Exit (REX) Sensor Bar Configurations
Enhance the safety and accessibility of your facility with our Magnetic Lock with Sensor Bar or Handle Applications. This setup is specifically engineered for non-latching doors that require high-strength security without sacrificing ease of exit. By integrating a professional magnetic lock with a touch-sensitive or mechanical sensor bar, you ensure that any user can exit the building with a natural pushing motion—completely eliminating the need for secondary exit buttons or prior knowledge of the locking system.
System Operation:
The "Sensor Bar" application functions by detecting human touch or slight mechanical pressure to immediately break the power to the magnetic lock.
- Door normally closed and locked by electromagnetic lock.
- Door released on exterior side by keypad.
- Door released on interior side by sensor bar. (Most buildings codes require 2 means of exited a door with a Mag Lock)
- Door released remotely by fire alarm or by loss of power
Operations Summary:
- Secured State: A constant DC power supply energizes the 600 lb or 1200lb mag lock, holding the door securely closed against the frame.
- Intuitive Egress: As an occupant approaches the door and touches the sensor bar or depresses the handle, an internal microswitch or touch sensor is activated.
- Instant Release: The sensor bar sends an immediate signal to the power supply to cut the current to the magnet, neutralizing the holding force instantly.
- Free Passage: The user pushes the door open in one continuous motion. Because the lock releases upon contact, there is no "sticking" or delay during the exit.
- Automatic Reset: Once the door closes and the sensor bar is released, power is restored to the magnetic lock, re-securing the opening.
- Safety Compliance: These systems are designed to be fail-safe; if power is lost or a fire alarm is triggered, the door remains unlocked for emergency evacuation.
Magnetic Locks
Discover the ultimate in "fail-safe" security. Electromagnetic locks provide powerful holding force with no moving parts to wear out, making them the ideal choice for high-traffic glass, aluminum, and wood doors. Featuring the industry-standard Securitron M62 and versatile Alarm Controls 600 series, these locks are designed to release instantly when power is cut, ensuring compliance with life-safety codes on emergency exit routes.
Readers, Keypads & Egress Sensors
Control who enters and how they exit. This section includes Securitron DK-26 keypads, proximity readers, and high-accuracy XMS2 motion sensors. In 2026, we prioritize "No-Touch" technology, featuring Alarm Controls wave-to-open sensors that trigger both the lock release and the door operator for a completely sanitary, hands-free experience.
Power Supplies & Power Transfer
Ensure your electrified hardware never misses a beat with our Securitron BPS and PSP power supplies, which deliver clean, filtered power to your access control system. To protect critical wiring from damage or tampering, we offer a full range of power transfer solutions, including concealed electric hinges, EPTs, and heavy-duty armored door loops.
Mounting Brackets & Hardware
Ensure a professional, secure installation with the correct mounting accessories. Because every frame is different, we provide a comprehensive selection of Z-brackets for in-swinging doors, L-brackets for narrow headers, and glass-door shim kits. All brackets are designed for a precision fit with Securitron and Alarm Controls hardware, featuring high-strength thru bolts to ensure the lock remains permanently anchored to the door.
