Alarm Controls 600WP Weatherproof Magnetic Gate Lock — 600 lb Holding Force

The Alarm Controls 600WP is a heavy-duty electromagnetic gate lock engineered for outdoor perimeter access control. Delivering 600 lbs of holding force, it is purpose-built for sliding and swinging gate applications where weather resistance and reliable electrified locking are essential. The fully sealed stainless steel housing protects internal components from rain, dust, and corrosion, making the 600WP a dependable choice for commercial and institutional perimeter security installations.

Key Features & Benefits

• 600 lb electromagnetic holding force — strong, positive gate retention for commercial perimeter control
• Fully weatherproof sealed design — stainless steel case protects against moisture and environmental exposure
• Dual voltage operation — field configurable for 12 VDC or 24 VDC systems, compatible with most access control power supplies
• Corrosion-resistant construction — non-aluminum parts are plated to resist oxidation in outdoor environments
• 12-inch color-coded leads in armored cable with metal end cap — durable, installer-friendly wiring for exposed installations
• Self-drilling TEC screws included — simplifies installation on metal gate frames
• Top mount or side mount compatible — brackets available separately for flexible installation orientation
• Clear anodized finish (US28) — standard finish blends with aluminum gate frames
• Limited lifetime warranty — manufacturer-backed reliability for long-term perimeter security applications

Typical Applications

• Commercial and industrial perimeter gate control (sliding and swinging gates)
• Parking facilities and access-controlled driveways
• School, campus, and institutional perimeter fencing
• Outdoor access control integrations requiring fail-safe electromagnetic locking
• Pedestrian gate security at building entries and courtyards

Access Control & Code Considerations

Electromagnetic locks operate on a fail-safe principle — the gate releases automatically upon loss of power. When integrating this lock into an access control system on an egress path, confirm compliance with applicable codes (IBC and NFPA 101), which generally require sensor-based egress release, a manual push-to-exit device, and automatic unlock upon fire alarm activation. For perimeter gate applications not on a required egress path, consult with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The system must be listed per UL 294 where access-controlled egress provisions apply.
