FR-A10001DS Fire Rated Mini Magnetic Lock with Door Status Monitoring (Maglock)

The FR-A10001DS Fire Rated Mini Magnetic Lock or Maglock is an unmonitored electromagnetic locking solution with a separate door status monitoring output, designed for use with access control systems, emergency door systems, and door entry systems. Suitable for commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, and public sector environments, it provides dependable locking for compatible fire-door access control installations.

Manufactured with a durable aluminium housing and electroless nickel plated armature plate, the FR-A10001DS provides a holding force of up to 600lbs (272kg) and operates from 12VDC or 24VDC.

The FR-A10001DS has been fire tested to BS EN 1634-1 and is suitable for installation on compatible FD30 and FD60 fire doors, subject to the relevant fire test evidence and installation requirements.

The door status output allows compatible systems to monitor whether the door is physically open or closed. This is separate from lock status monitoring: the FR-A10001DS does not provide an output confirming whether the magnet and armature plate are engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does DS mean?

DS means door status monitoring. The FR-A10001DS includes a door status output that allows compatible equipment to monitor whether the door is physically open or closed.

Does the FR-A10001DS provide lock status monitoring?

No. The FR-A10001DS is an unmonitored magnetic lock. Its door status output indicates whether the door is open or closed, rather than confirming engagement between the magnet and armature plate.

What is the difference between the FR-A10001 and FR-A10001DS?

The FR-A10001DS includes a separate door status output, allowing compatible systems to monitor whether the door is open or closed. The FR-A10001 provides locking without this output. Neither model provides lock status monitoring.

What is the holding force of the FR-A10001DS?

The FR-A10001DS provides a holding force of up to 600lbs (272kg).

Is the FR-A10001DS fail-safe?

Yes. The FR-A10001DS 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.

Has the FR-A10001DS been fire tested?

Yes. The FR-A10001DS has been tested to BS EN 1634-1 and is suitable for compatible FD30 and FD60 fire doors, subject to the relevant fire test evidence and installation requirements.

Can the FR-A10001DS be used with access control systems?

Yes. The FR-A10001DS is designed for use with compatible access control systems, door entry systems, intercoms, emergency door systems and fire alarm interfaces. A compatible door status input is required to receive door open or closed feedback.

What operating voltage does the FR-A10001DS require?

The FR-A10001DS operates from 12VDC or 24VDC.

Can I use the lock without connecting the door status output?

Yes. The lock can operate without the door status output connected, but the connected system will not receive door open or closed feedback from it.

Does fitting a fire-rated magnetic lock make any door a fire door?

No. The lock must be fitted to a suitable fire-door assembly using an installation arrangement supported by the relevant fire test evidence. The lock alone does not establish the fire rating of the complete door assembly.
