Dormakaba Rci 8372 X Dss X 28 Magnetic Lock

Product Description

The DORMAKABA RCI 8372 X DSS X 28 is a magnetic locking device designed for access control applications in commercial and institutional door openings. Magnetic locks, also called maglocks, use an electromagnet and armature plate to secure a door without mechanical latching components. This unit is finished in dark bronze anodized aluminum (finish code 28), making it suited for installations where hardware finish coordination is required. Licensed electricians and access control technicians are the primary trade professionals who specify and install this hardware.

Magnetic locks in the 8372 series are typically installed on aluminum storefront frames, hollow metal door frames, or glass door systems in commercial buildings. Common applications include office entrances, stairwell doors, server room access points, and any opening controlled by a card reader, keypad, or request-to-exit device. The DSS designation indicates a door status sensor is integrated into the unit, allowing the access control panel to monitor door position in real time.

Key Features

• Integrated door status sensor (DSS) for real-time door position monitoring at the access control panel
• Dark bronze anodized finish (28) for hardware-coordinated commercial installations
• Electromagnet design with no moving mechanical parts, reducing maintenance requirements
• Sold as a single unit (each), suitable for single-door openings
• Designed for use within a broader access control system including readers, controllers, and power supplies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style magnetic lock for commercial access control door openings. Consult the DORMAKABA RCI product data sheet for verified compatible power supplies, controllers, and mounting hardware before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of magnetic locks should be performed by a licensed electrician or a qualified access control technician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) and applicable local building codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the access control circuit before mounting or wiring the unit. Verify that the door frame and header can support the hardware and that the armature plate aligns squarely with the magnet face for full holding force. On fire-rated openings, confirm that the lock configuration is approved for use on that assembly and that fail-safe operation complies with local fire and life safety codes.
