Schlage Electronics M450 Magnetic Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ELECTRONICS M450 is a single high security magnetic lock designed for access control applications in commercial, institutional, and multi-family buildings. It mounts to a door frame and holds the door secure by generating a strong electromagnetic bond between the lock body and an armature plate. Licensed electricians and access control technicians are the typical installers. The unit measures 11.8 inches in length, 4.3 inches in width, and 3.5 inches in height, and weighs 9.2 pounds, making it a substantial, full-size electromagnetic lock suited for demanding door applications.

The M450 is intended for single-door installations where high security holding force is required. Typical applications include entry doors, stairwell doors, and controlled-access corridors in commercial office buildings, institutional facilities, hospitals, and multi-family residential properties. It is sold as a single unit and is installed by access control or low-voltage security contractors as part of a broader electronic access control system including controllers, readers, and power supplies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or access control technician in accordance with local building codes and NEC requirements. Disconnect and lock out all power to the access control system before mounting or wiring the lock. The lock body is typically mounted to the door frame header, with the armature plate mounted to the door itself — verify door and frame clearances before installation. Do not apply power to the lock until all wiring connections are confirmed correct and secure.
