GS705-30 / GS705-35 Magnetic Shear Lock (Maglock)

The GS705 Series Magnetic Shear Lock is a high-security electromagnetic locking solution designed for use with access control systems, door entry systems, intercom systems, and electronic door security applications. It is suitable for commercial, educational, healthcare, residential, industrial, and public sector environments where a strong and reliable locking solution is required.

Unlike standard magnetic locks that rely purely on direct magnetic holding force, shearlocks combine electromagnetic attraction with a mechanical shear action to provide increased resistance to forced entry. When the door is closed, the armature plate aligns with the lock body and the electromagnetic field secures the door while the shear design prevents lateral movement under load.

Operating on a 12VDC or 24VDC power supply, the GS705 delivers a holding force of up to 2700lbs (1226kg) in shear, making it suitable for high-security applications. The design provides a strong, stable locking action with a compact form factor suitable for concealed or semi-concealed installation depending on frame configuration.
