Dormakaba Rci 8320 2DSS 28 Double Magnetic Lock 1200 Lb

Product Description

The DORMAKABA USA INC. / RCI 8320 2DSS 28 is a double electromagnetic lock rated at 1200 pounds of holding force, designed for access control applications on commercial doors. Electromagnetic locks use DC power to energize a magnet that bonds to an armature plate mounted on the door, securing it when the circuit is active and releasing instantly when power is cut. The 1200 lb holding force rating makes this unit appropriate for high-traffic or high-security entryways where a standard single mag lock would be insufficient. Licensed security and access control technicians are the primary installers of this hardware.

This double mag lock is suited for commercial and institutional access control installations where two-door configurations or oversized door assemblies require greater holding strength. Typical applications include double-door entry vestibules, secured corridors, server rooms, and similar controlled-access openings. The lock integrates into standard access control systems using fail-safe wiring, meaning the door releases automatically on power loss, which is a common code requirement for egress compliance in commercial buildings.

Key Features

• 1200 lb total holding force for double-door configurations
• Electromagnetic fail-safe design releases on power loss for egress compliance
• Double-lock configuration suitable for paired or oversized door assemblies
• Compatible with standard access control system wiring and controllers
• Stainless steel finish designation (2DSS) for corrosion resistance in demanding environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style double electromagnetic lock for commercial access control door assemblies requiring 1200 lb holding force. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed access control or low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable local electrical codes and NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements. Power down and de-energize the access control circuit before wiring or mounting the lock assembly. Confirm egress compliance with local fire and building codes before commissioning, as fail-safe mag locks on designated egress paths are subject to authority-having-jurisdiction review. Do not overtighten mounting hardware in a way that introduces armature plate misalignment, as surface contact quality directly affects holding force.
