Schlage Electronics M490DEP Delayed Egress Magnetic Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ELECTRONICS M490DEP is a single delayed egress magnetic lock designed for controlled egress applications in commercial and institutional buildings. It integrates a door status monitor, magnetic bond sensor, and relocking time delay into one assembly, giving installers a complete solution for code-compliant delayed egress doors. The unit weighs 14.5 pounds and measures 13.7 inches in length, 6 inches in width, and 3.5 inches in height. Licensed locksmiths, low-voltage electricians, and access control technicians typically handle installation and commissioning of this hardware.

The M490DEP is suited for commercial and institutional facilities where delayed egress is required by life safety codes, such as hospitals, assisted living facilities, schools, and secured storage areas. The built-in door status monitor and magnetic bond sensor allow the system to report door position and lock status to an access control panel or alarm system. The relocking time delay feature ensures the door re-secures automatically after an egress event without manual intervention.

Key Features

• Delayed egress function supports life safety code compliance for controlled exit points
• Integrated door status monitor reports door open or closed state to connected access control systems
• Magnetic bond sensor confirms lock engagement at the door leaf
• Relocking time delay automatically re-engages the lock following an egress event
• Single-unit assembly combines multiple monitoring and locking functions to simplify wiring and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style delayed egress magnetic lock for single-door commercial and institutional access control applications requiring door status monitoring and automatic relocking.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed access control technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 101, local fire and life safety codes, and the authority having jurisdiction. Disconnect all power to the access control system and lock circuit before mounting or wiring the unit. Verify door frame alignment and surface preparation before mounting to ensure proper magnetic bond. Do not defeat or bypass the delayed egress timing function without verifying compliance with applicable life safety codes.
