U10020 / U10020DSU Monitored Standard Magnetic Lock (Maglock)

The U10020 and U10020DSU Monitored Standard Magnetic Locks are high-performance electromagnetic locking solutions designed for use with access control systems, door entry systems, intercoms, and electronic security installations. Suitable for commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, residential, and public sector environments, they provide reliable fail-safe locking together with enhanced monitoring capabilities for improved system management.

An electromagnetic lock, commonly known as a magnetic lock or maglock, consists of an electromagnet mounted to the door frame and a matching armature plate attached to the door. When power is applied, the electromagnet generates a powerful magnetic field that securely holds the armature plate in place. As a fail-safe device, the lock automatically releases when power is removed, ensuring safe emergency egress.

Operating from a selectable 12VDC or 24VDC power supply, the U10020 series provides a holding force of up to 1200lbs (544kg). Manufactured with a durable aluminium housing and an electroless nickel-plated armature, the locks are designed for long-term reliability and corrosion resistance. Both models feature a monitored magnetic lock, while the U10020DSU additionally includes an integrated red/green status LED and a door status output, providing both visual lock indication and door position feedback for compatible access control systems.
