A10040DS Monitored Standard Double Magnetic Lock (Maglock) with Door Status Monitoring

The A10040DS Monitored Standard Double Magnetic Lock or Maglock is an electromagnetic locking solution designed for securing double doors in access control systems, door entry systems, intercoms, and electronic door security applications. Suitable for commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, residential, and public sector environments, it provides secure and reliable locking for paired access-controlled doors.

Operating from selectable 12VDC or 24VDC, the A10040DS delivers up to 1200lbs (544kg) of holding force per door leaf, providing 2 × 1200lbs across the double-door installation. Manufactured with a durable aluminium housing and electroless nickel plated steel armature plates, this double magnetic lock is designed for long-term reliability and consistent performance.

The A10040DS includes lock status monitoring, indicating whether the magnets and armature plates are engaged, alongside LED lock status indication. A separate door status monitoring output allows compatible systems to monitor whether the doors are physically open or closed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a monitored standard double magnetic lock?

A monitored standard double magnetic lock is an electromagnetic locking device designed to secure double doors. It includes lock status monitoring for connection to compatible access control or monitoring systems.

What is the holding force of the A10040DS?

The A10040DS provides up to 1200lbs (544kg) of holding force per door leaf, giving 2 × 1200lbs across the double-door installation.

Can the A10040DS be used on double doors?

Yes. The A10040DS is specifically designed for double-door installations, providing electromagnetic locking for paired door leaves alongside lock status monitoring, LED indication and door status monitoring.

What does lock monitoring mean?

Lock monitoring provides an output indicating whether the magnets and armature plates are engaged. This output can be connected to a compatible access control or monitoring system.

What does DS mean?

DS means door status monitoring. The A10040DS includes a separate door status output that allows compatible equipment to monitor whether the doors are physically open or closed.

What is the difference between lock monitoring and door status monitoring?

Lock monitoring indicates whether the magnets and armature plates are engaged. Door status monitoring indicates whether the doors are open or closed. The A10040DS provides both functions through separate outputs.

What does fail-safe operation mean?

Fail-safe operation means the magnetic lock requires power to remain locked. When power to the lock is interrupted, it releases. Emergency release equipment and access controls must be correctly connected to interrupt the lock supply when required.

What is the difference between the A10040 and A10040DS?

Both models include lock status monitoring and LED lock status indication. The A10040DS additionally provides a separate door status output, allowing compatible systems to monitor whether the doors are physically open or closed.

What does the LED indication show?

The A10040DS includes LED lock status indication, showing green when unlocked and red when locked. This indicates lock status rather than door position.

Can the A10040DS be used with access control systems?

Yes. The A10040DS is designed for integration with compatible access control systems, door entry systems, intercoms, emergency door release units, keypads, card readers and press to exit buttons. Compatible monitoring inputs are required to receive its lock status and door status signals.

Why choose a magnetic lock with both monitoring functions?

The A10040DS allows a compatible system to receive separate feedback on lock engagement and door position. This provides more information than lock status monitoring alone, alongside LED indication and up to 1200lbs (544kg) holding force per door leaf.
