Electromagnetic Pin Lock SCOT EB-180 — mini bolt lock, holding force 300 kg

SCOT EB-180 is a mini pin (bolt) electric lock engineered for access control and door security with a rated holding force of 300 kg. The compact bolt mechanism enables secure mechanical latching and remote release for metal or wooden doors. Designed for situations that require controlled locking with limited installation space, the EB-180 fits into frames, cabinets and narrow posts while providing reliable retention for residential or light commercial use.

Advantages

The SCOT EB-180 combines a compact form factor with a 300 kg holding force, delivering a balance of space-saving design and dependable mechanical retention. Its bolt-style locking provides direct physical engagement that is compatible with narrow door frames and enclosures. The unit’s electrical release allows integration with access control systems, push-button release, or timed control circuits for flexible operation.

Suitable for

• Entry doors and gates where a compact bolt lock is required
• Server rooms, network cabinets and equipment enclosures
• Turnstiles and controlled pedestrian access points
• Small commercial premises and residential entrances
• Cabinets, lockers or panels that need remote locking and release

When it may not be suitable

The EB-180 is intended for applications needing a compact bolt lock and a 300 kg holding force; it may not be suitable for heavy-duty industrial doors or high-security vaults that require higher holding strengths or redundant locking mechanisms. It also may not be appropriate where fire-safety regulations mandate fail-safe unlocking behavior unless the installation is designed to meet those requirements.

Key specifications

• Lock type: mini pin / bolt electric lock
• Holding force: 300 kg
• Compatible door materials: metal, wood
• Operation: electrically controlled bolt retraction and release
• Typical installation locations: door frames, gates, cabinets, turnstiles

How to use

Install the SCOT EB-180 in a prepared mortise or mounting plate on the door frame or enclosure following the manufacturer’s mechanical dimensions and wiring diagram. Connect the electrical supply and control wiring to the access control system, push button, or relay output. When the lock receives the appropriate control signal, the bolt retracts to allow door opening; when power is removed or the control signal ceases, the bolt extends and physically secures the door. Verify alignment between bolt and strike to ensure reliable engagement and test operation after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 300 kg holding force meets your security and safety requirements
• Check mechanical dimensions and mounting options for compatibility with your door frame or enclosure
• Confirm electrical compatibility with your access control system, including supply voltage and control signal type
• Review applicable fire and safety codes to determine required fail-safe or fail-secure behavior

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, mount the EB-180 on a properly reinforced frame or strike plate, maintain correct bolt-to-strike alignment, and use suitable wiring protection. Test the lock regularly as part of access control maintenance and follow local regulations regarding emergency egress and fire safety.
