Electromagnetic Lock SCOT EL-120, holding force 70 kg

SCOT EL-120 is an electromagnetic lock designed for access control and door security with a holding force of 70 kg. The compact unit provides magnetic fastening for single doors, enabling remote release and straightforward integration with access control systems. It is suitable for interior or light-exterior doors in offices, retail and residential installations where moderate holding strength is required and a reliable, low-profile locking solution is needed.

Advantages

The electromagnetic lock offers a simple design with no moving mechanical parts, reducing wear and maintenance needs. Its 70 kg holding force secures doors against casual opening while allowing compatibility with most standard door frames. The unit supports remote activation, making it suitable for centralized access control and emergency release setups. Installation is compact and unobtrusive, and the magnetic operation provides silent locking compared with mechanical latches.

Suitable for

• Office internal doors and staff rooms
• Retail shop entrances and display room partitions
• Residential interior doors and apartment building common areas
• Access control systems requiring remote release and fail-safe operation

Key specifications

• Holding force: 70 kg
• Operation: electromagnetic fastening (fail-safe)
• Intended use: single doors, interior or light exterior
• Mounting: surface mount on door frame with armature plate on door
• Integration: compatible with standard access control and remote release circuits
• Noise level: silent magnetic operation (no mechanical latch noise)

How to use

Mount the electromagnetic lock on the door frame and attach the included armature plate to the door leaf according to the manufacturer’s alignment instructions. Connect the unit to a compatible power supply and to the access control or exit switch circuit to enable remote release. Verify correct alignment and secure contact between the magnet and armature plate when the door is closed. Test the lock operation from the control panel and from local release devices to confirm fail-safe release and re-engagement after power is applied.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use the electromagnetic lock on doors that close flush with the frame and ensure the armature plate is installed on a clean, flat surface. Provide a regulated power supply within the specified voltage range and include surge protection where electrical stability is a concern. Periodically inspect the mounting hardware and clean contact surfaces to maintain optimum holding force. For external-facing installations, verify environmental suitability and consider weather protection or complementary mechanical locking when higher holding force or weather resistance is required.
