A maglock installation is a magnetic lock on a door, with a release people can see and a fire interface that actually drops the lock. It is not a car park barrier.
Barriers are the hardest job on this lane. This page sits beside that work.
About Maglock Installation
A maglock installation is a magnetic lock on a door, with a release people can see and a fire interface that actually drops the lock. It is not a car park barrier.
Escape doors are usually fail-safe: power off, lock off. A store or a plant cage may be fail-secure, and that decision sits with the responsible person. We survey the leaf, the header, the request-to-exit and what the fire alarm does today. We do not sign the fire risk assessment. We write what the lock will do in a power cut. Brands follow the ironmongery already on the door. The visit is POA. North West doors are booked from Stockport. Call 07517806082. Manchester lobbies and Burnley block entrances are separate guides.

Maglock Installation FAQ
Is a maglock fail-safe?+
A standard maglock releases when power is removed. Whether that is the right behaviour is decided per door, against the fire strategy.
Do you install maglocks on fire doors?+
Only when the door, the closer and the release arrangement can still do their job. We do not pack a lock onto a door that will not latch.
What does it cost?+
Price on application after the door count and the fire interface are known.
