Electromagnetic Mortise Lock SCOT EL-800MS, 350 kg holding force

SCOT EL-800MS is an electromagnetic mortise lock designed for flush mounting into a door leaf or frame to provide secure, concealed locking for single doors. With a rated holding force of 350 kg, this lock is intended for integration with access control systems and electric release circuits. It features silent operation and compatibility with emergency release functions, making it suitable for commercial and office entrances where a discrete, reliable magnetic locking solution is required.

Advantages

The EL-800MS offers a compact mortise design that keeps the locking mechanism hidden inside the door for a clean appearance while delivering a consistent 350 kg holding force. Silent engagement and release reduce noise during normal operation. The unit is designed for straightforward integration into access control systems and supports emergency release, enabling power-fail or safety-driven unlocking. Its construction is optimized for repeated cycles typical of busy entrances.

Suitable for

• Single interior or exterior doors in offices and commercial premises
• Access control systems requiring a concealed mortise locking solution
• Controlled entry points where silent operation and reliable holding force are needed
• Locations requiring compatibility with emergency release or fail-safe unlocking

When it may not be suitable

This electromagnetic mortise lock is not intended for use on very heavy or oversized doors where mechanical deadbolts or larger magnetic locks are specified by door/frame ratings. It may be unsuitable when a holding force significantly greater than 350 kg is required or where an exposed surface-mounted lock is mandated for retrofit installations. Installation requires compatible door preparation and wiring for access control, so it may not be appropriate for unprepared doors without additional carpentry or electrical work.

Key specifications

• Type: Electromagnetic mortise lock, flush-mounted
• Holding force: 350 kg
• Operation: Silent magnetic engagement and release
• Compatibility: Designed for integration with access control and emergency release circuits
• Intended use: Single door installation, concealed lock body

How to use

Install the SCOT EL-800MS into a prepared mortise in the door leaf or frame following manufacturer mounting dimensions and wiring diagrams. Connect the lock to the access control power supply and control output according to the system requirements, ensuring correct polarity and voltage matching. Test the magnetic bonding and release under normal and emergency-release scenarios to confirm correct operation. Routine inspection of alignment between armature plate and lock face, plus verification of mounting hardware, will ensure consistent holding force and silent performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify door type, thickness and frame material are compatible with a mortise installation
• Confirm the access control system voltage and wiring match the lock’s electrical requirements
• Ensure required holding force (350 kg) meets site security and safety specifications
• Plan for door preparation and professional installation if necessary

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, align the armature plate accurately with the lock face during installation, use the recommended mounting hardware, and verify the access control wiring and emergency-release logic. Schedule periodic checks of mechanical alignment and electrical connections, and ensure the lock is operated within its rated holding capacity for reliable, long-term service.
