Sdc E600 Electromagnetic Lock 600 Lb with Monitoring

Product Description

The SDC - SECURITY DOOR CONTROLS E600 is a single-door electromagnetic lock rated for 600 pounds of holding force and equipped with built-in door position monitoring. Electromagnetic locks, or emlocks, work by energizing a magnet mounted to the door frame that bonds to a steel armature plate mounted on the door leaf. The E600 integrates a monitoring circuit that allows the access control system to confirm door status — open, closed, or secured — without a separate door position switch. This makes it a compact, reliable solution for access-controlled doors in both new installations and retrofits.

The E600 is suited for interior and perimeter access control applications in commercial and institutional buildings. Typical installations include office suites, server rooms, stairwell doors, and any opening requiring fail-safe egress compliance. Fail-safe operation means the lock releases when power is cut, making it compatible with life-safety and fire alarm integration requirements. Licensed security, low-voltage, or door hardware contractors typically handle installation and system integration.

Key Features

• 600-pound static holding force for single-door access control
• Integrated door position monitoring eliminates the need for a separate DPS sensor
• Fail-safe operation releases the lock on power loss to support life-safety egress codes
• Single-door form factor suitable for interior and perimeter controlled openings
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electromagnetic lock for single-door access control systems requiring fail-safe operation and integrated door position monitoring.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or security contractor familiar with access control systems and applicable building codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the access control panel and door hardware circuit before mounting the magnet body or armature plate. Proper alignment between the magnet and armature plate is critical to achieving rated holding force. Integration with fire alarm release circuits should comply with NFPA 101 and local authority having jurisdiction requirements.
