Sdc 1512VB Magnetic Lock 12/24 Vdc

Product Description

The SDC - SECURITY DOOR CONTROLS 1512VB is a magnetic lock (mag lock) designed for access control applications in commercial and institutional door systems. Operating on 12 or 24 volts DC, the 1512VB uses electromagnetic force to secure a door when energized. It is a fail-safe device, meaning the door releases when power is removed. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and access control integrators install this type of hardware as part of electronic entry systems, paired with controllers, readers, and egress hardware.

This magnetic lock is suited for interior and perimeter doors in commercial, institutional, and light industrial environments. Typical applications include office entry doors, server room access, stairwell and corridor doors, and any controlled-entry opening that requires reliable electromagnetic locking. The 1512VB is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for new installations and retrofit access control upgrades where a surface-mounted mag lock is specified.

Key Features

• Dual-voltage operation at 12 VDC or 24 VDC for flexible system integration
• Fail-safe design releases the door upon loss of power, supporting life-safety egress requirements
• Compact mag lock form factor for surface mounting on door frames
• Anodized aluminum finish (628) suited for standard commercial hardware aesthetics
• Single-unit packaging allows for individual door installations or multi-door phased deployments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation magnetic lock for commercial access control door systems requiring a 12/24 VDC surface-mount mag lock.

Installation Notes

Mag locks of this type are installed by licensed low-voltage or access control technicians in accordance with NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring and applicable local building codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the access control panel before wiring the lock to the controller output. Verify that door frame construction supports surface-mount hardware and that the armature plate aligns flush with the lock body for full holding force. Egress devices connected in series with the lock circuit must comply with local fire and life-safety codes.
