Magnetic lock on the door is a locking device that operates by electric current. Voltage is applied to the magnetic coil, resulting in a magnetic field that attracts the opposite part of the mechanism. Installing a lock does not require special skills and can be done on your own. The advantages of the mechanism are its unpretentiousness to weather conditions when installed on wickets or gates, as well as long term product services.
Standard equipment and additional equipment
Device magnetic lock depends on the initial configuration, that is basic elements And additional devices, which can be connected to the mechanism for convenience.
Lock kit upon purchase
The basic set of locking mechanisms for interior doors and entrance doors consists of:
- a powerful magnet operating under the influence of electricity;
- a reciprocal metal strip attracted to the magnetic plane;
- an electrical cable connecting the magnet to the power source;
- fastening connections;
- instructions describing how to install magnetic locks of this type.
The magnetic lock can be controlled in two ways:
- push-button mechanism that closes electrical circuit when closing and interrupts the power supply when opening;
- an electronic mechanism consisting of two sensors:
- Hall sensor, which constantly monitors the voltage supplied to the lock;
- magnetic contact, giving a signal when the device is operating.
It is impossible to determine by the appearance of the lock exactly how it opens. The Hall sensor is built into the main part of the lock. However, the device comes with electronically controlled There is an additional magnetic contact sensor.
All sensors, opening buttons and electronic keys are included in the standard equipment.
Additional devices for magnetic lock
Installation of a magnetic lock is possible with additional devices that facilitate its operation and control, these include:
- block uninterruptible power supply, ensuring the operation of the locking mechanism during absence DC voltage. A battery is built inside the unit, which begins to operate when there is a failure in the central power grid. You can charge the batteries using the mains adapter that is included with the unit;
- controller – a device that is necessary to connect additional equipment. If a control unit is supplied with the lock, then the controller is built into this device. Otherwise, it will need to be purchased additionally;
- a closer designed for smooth closing of a magnetic lock. If the main locking mechanism is equipped with a closer, then this element will extend the life of the device, since strong shocks that can damage the magnet will be eliminated;
- intercom. This device is mainly installed on the door to the entrance or on the gate leading to the territory suburban area. Using an intercom, you can see or hear a person who wants to enter a closed area and open the lock without leaving the apartment or house, respectively.
The complete set of equipment included in the magnetic lock is determined independently by the user.
Installation of a magnetic lock
Magnetic lock on front door May be:
- holding. A magnet located on one part of the lock holds the door in place. closed position due to the metal plate installed on the mating part. Retaining magnetic locks are overhead;
- shear. Due to the action of the magnet, the tongue of the locking mechanism is fixed. Shift magnetic locks are mainly produced as mortise locks.
Retaining locks are mainly installed on metal doors and gates, and sliding mechanisms are designed for wooden entrance and interior doors.
Installing a rim retaining lock
Installation of a magnetic lock on a retaining type door is carried out at the top of the door leaf or on the side. When installed at the top of the door, the passage opening is significantly reduced, which does not happen when the device is mounted on the side.

Installation of the retaining magnetic lock is carried out using a drill and screwdriver.
Installing a mortise lock
Installing a sliding-type magnetic lock can cause difficulties for non-professionals, since the lock is installed inside the door.
To make the cut yourself, you need to follow these steps:
- . This additional procedure makes further work more convenient;
- then, using a drill with a special attachment, a through hole is drilled in the place where the mechanism is supposed to be installed;
- Markings corresponding to the dimensions of the lock are applied to the door leaf. This is necessary to determine the correct size of the niche into which the locking mechanism will subsequently be installed;
- a niche is drilled;
- the connection points between the lock and the door are marked;
- holes are drilled for the mounting bolts. The diameter and depth of the holes must match the dimensions of the bolts as accurately as possible;
- the first part of the lock is fixed;
- similarly on door jamb the second part of the lock is installed, in which the tongue of the locking mechanism will be magnetic;
- the door is installed in place;
- necessary additional equipment is installed;

The entire process of installing a magnetic lock inside the door is shown in detail in the video.
A magnetic lock is a highly reliable device. Repair of a magnetic lock is required extremely rarely and consists of replacing any part of the device. Installation and control of the locking mechanism is accessible to any user. When selecting a device, it is recommended to rely on the necessary equipment, which determines the functionality of the lock, the quality guaranteed by the manufacturer and the intended installation location.
When carrying out renovations indoors and changing doors, it is worth thinking about the lock that will be installed on them. At the same time, preference is increasingly being given to magnetic locks. They are installed both at the entrance and at interior door.
Types of magnetic locks
There are two main types of magnetic locks:
- passive;
- electromagnetic.
Passive has no additional electrical supply, so its holding force is not great. Such locks with a magnetic latch are often used on interior accordion doors, as well as on furniture cabinet doors. To open them, the handle is pulled and the magnet opens.
Electromagnetic requires additional connection to the electrical network and can withstand pressure up to 1 ton. It is usually placed on the front door. It has both mechanical and electrical elements and varies depending on the installation method. An electromagnetic lock can be:
Operating principle
The passive magnetic lock with a simple latch is designed very simply. He doesn't have mechanical parts and consists of two elements: a metal plate and a magnet. To open the door, the handle is simply pulled and the lock elements are released.
Passive magnetic lock with mechanical elements and a more complex latch is designed differently. When turned, its handle moves the metal plate away from the magnetic strip, and the interior doors open. Such locks are increasingly used on interior doors instead of regular ones.
Operating principle electromagnetic lock more complex. The door is held closed as long as there is power to the lock. electric current. It opens with a special magnetic key or code, which is entered on the panel provided for this. In this case, the current supply stops and the magnet opens.
Advantages and disadvantages
A magnetic lock has a number of undeniable advantages:
- silent operation;
- durability;
- compatibility with code panel, call button, intercom and other security devices;
- attractive appearance.
The following disadvantages are worth noting:
- the need for an uninterruptible power supply;
- large mass and size;
- ease of repeated unauthorized entry.
Without electricity electromagnetic lock opens and ceases to perform its functions. This is both a plus and a minus. According to requirements fire safety V shopping centers, large offices and other premises with large crowds of people, locking devices on the doors should open when the power is turned off. But this leads to a decrease in security and facilitates the penetration of intruders when installed on the doors of entrances and apartments. Therefore, the connection diagram for such locks often includes an uninterruptible power supply.
If an attacker managed to open a door with a simple electromagnetic lock once, he can easily do it again. To do this, tape or adhesive tape is glued to it or the strike plate, which weakens the contact, and the door will open when force is applied. In many castles this problem is simply solved. Their circuit includes elements that warn of incomplete locking using an audible signal.
Installing a passive lock
Installing a passive magnetic lock on a door with your own hands is not difficult. To do this, a magnetic plate is attached to the interior door leaf, and a metal plate to another leaf or frame.
A do-it-yourself passive lock with a handle is mounted according to the same principle as a regular one. A recess is made for it in the canvas, and the handle is placed in the hole. A reciprocal recess is made in the loot for the tongue. When you turn the handle, the magnet and latch are separated and the doors open easily.
Installing an electromagnetic lock
They can be installed on metal, wood, plastic, metal-plastic and glass doors. Installation varies depending on the type of lock.
- Overhead magnetic lock. It is easier to install it yourself than a mortise one. The strike plate is attached to door leaf using special fasteners that come with the lock. The marking diagram is glued at the installation site, and through holes are drilled for fastening. Their size is indicated in the accompanying documentation for the lock. Lies between the bar and the door rubber gasket. You should not screw the striker too tightly; it should spring back a little thanks to the gasket, which will ensure correct and free magnetization to the lock.
The lock itself is attached with your own hands using a corner. Depending on the door material and how it opens, corners are used different shapes. After completion of work, the device must be connected to the network and checked. The connection diagram is included in the kit.
Magnetic lock repair
A magnetic lock, like any other, may require repairs. Breakdown is caused external influence, unfavorable conditions environment or power failure. Repair will depend on the type of damage.
If a magnetic lock is installed on the gate, then the locking device may fail under the influence of weather conditions. Repair consists of replacing it. To prevent the problem, take care to minimize exposure to rain, snow and other factors. The most reliable devices are those that can be opened using a special key fob. Their mechanism is hidden inside and well protected.
If the power line is broken, you need to take care of repairing it or replacing the cable.
In any case, it is better to entrust the repair to an experienced specialist who is well versed in the principle of its operation. Doing it yourself can completely disrupt its functioning, and then you will have to replace the lock with a new one.

The need to protect one's own property has existed throughout human history. The modern period of development of society is no exception to this rule.
That is why engineers are constantly working on creating such locking mechanisms on doors that could reliably protect this or that object from the encroachment of third parties. One such mechanism that has currently gained significant popularity is the magnetic lock.
A magnetic door lock is a locking device whose operation is based on the principle of magnetic interaction of two elements.
Such a mechanism can be installed on a wooden, plastic or metal door.
Attaching magnetic locks to the door can be as follows:
- overhead (using a set of corners);
- mortise (without protruding parts);
- semi-mortise (with a small part protruding from the plane of the door frame).
The type of locking also varies.
Some models are only equipped magnetic device, others - magnetic-mechanical.
Why are they needed and where are they used?
Magnetic locks are used today on the doors of real estate for various purposes.
Among them, first of all, it is worth highlighting the following:
- offices;
- manufacturing enterprises;
- apartments;
- separate rooms;
- shops;
- warehouses;
- garages, etc.
The need to use magnetic locks is due to their advantages.
Such locking devices are highly reliable and high level protection.
How it works: device and principle of operation
Structurally, a magnetic lock uses two important functional parts: a metal plate and the electromagnet itself.
The latter is attached to end side door frame.
The operating diagram of such a device is quite simple:
- Electricity is constantly supplied to the magnet winding.
- A powerful electromagnetic field gradually appears around the magnet.
- The magnetic field attracts the metal plate located on the door leaf with significant force.
- The door is eventually locked securely.
To open the door, a person needs to press a special button.
It provokes a reset electrical voltage, which affects the corrective functionality of the locking mechanism.
After the current supply is stopped, the electromagnetic field disappears. Immediately after this, the door becomes free to open.
Existing types
Today there are several main types of magnetic door locks.
According to their principle of action, they are as follows:
- Passive.
- Active.
Such devices operate without the need to connect them to the power supply network.
That is why their strength is quite small.
As a result, such locks are used to lock cabinet doors, close handbags, etc.
Operating principle of this device based on an electromagnet and a counter (armature) made of metal with high magnetic permeability.
These mechanisms are used to lock doors.
Experts also separately highlight magnetic locks for entrance and interior doors.
They differ from each other only in the strength of their action.
The former are considered much more powerful and reliable.
Reviews of magnetic locks: pros and cons
The main advantages of magnetic locks that users note are as follows:
- absence of any moving elements;
- simplicity of design;
- ease of connection to an electronic lock;
- high level of security in case of emergencies (the lock automatically turns off without preventing people from evacuating the building).
Like any other lock, the magnetic type of locking mechanism has its disadvantages, such as:
- the need to ensure reliable and uninterrupted power supply;
- big overall dimensions and significant weight.
If an attacker has entered a room protected by a magnetic lock, he can easily carry out certain manipulations that allow him to re-enter the room in the future.
This applies only to those models that are not equipped with additional security measures - sensors, controllers, etc.
