Electromagnetic Door Lock SCOT EL-350SP2, holding force 180 kg, model EL-350SP2

SCOT EL-350SP2 is an electromagnetic door lock with a holding force of 180 kg designed for mounting on door frames to secure single doors, turnstiles or cabinets. As a fail-safe device it unlocks when power is removed, making it suitable for integration with access control systems, alarm systems and emergency-release circuits. The unit offers a compact form factor and straightforward installation for commercial and residential entrances requiring electric locking.

Advantages

The EL-350SP2 provides a rated holding force of 180 kg, delivering consistent retention for standard interior and exterior doors where controlled access is required. Its fail-safe operation ensures doors release during power loss or emergency, aligning with safety regulations for escape routes. The lock is compatible with common access control setups and has a simple surface-mount design that reduces installation complexity.

Suitable for

• Single-leaf doors in offices and shops
• Turnstiles and entry gates with frame-mountable strike areas
• Cabinets, server racks or enclosures requiring electrical locking
• Access control systems in residential blocks and small commercial buildings

When it may not be suitable

The EL-350SP2 is a fail-safe electromagnetic lock and therefore requires continuous power to remain locked; it may not be suitable where power-independent locking (fail-secure) is required for high-security applications. It is intended for applications with appropriate mounting surfaces and may not be suitable for heavy-duty industrial doors or very large exterior entrance doors that need higher holding forces or specialized hardware.

Key specifications

• Holding force: 180 kg
• Operation mode: fail-safe (unlocks on power loss)
• Mounting: frame-mounted electromagnetic lock
• Intended use: single doors, turnstiles, cabinets
• Compatibility: designed for integration with access control and alarm systems

How to use

Mount the SCOT EL-350SP2 on the door frame opposite the armature plate attached to the door leaf, following the manufacturer's alignment instructions to ensure full contact between electromagnet and armature. Connect the lock to a suitable 12/24V DC power supply and integrate wiring into the access control or alarm system according to electrical diagrams. Test the lock under powered and unpowered conditions to verify fail-safe release and secure holding when energized. Periodic inspection of mounting screws and surface contact is recommended to maintain reliable performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required holding force for the door type and local safety regulations regarding fail-safe operation
• Verify mounting surface dimensions and whether armature plate alignment is possible on your door/frame
• Ensure your access control system or power supply supports the lock's voltage and current requirements
• Check whether weatherproofing or additional housing is needed for exterior installations

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the EL-350SP2 with a dedicated regulated power supply and include a surge protector. Use the lock with compatible strike plates and follow routine maintenance: clean contact surfaces and check fasteners every 6–12 months. In escape-route or fire-protected doors, ensure integration with building safety wiring so the fail-safe release functions as required.
