Securitron M38D Magnetic Lock Single Door

Product Description

The SECURITRON M38D is a magnetic locking device designed for access control applications on single doors. Electromagnetic locks of this type work by generating a holding force between an electromagnet mounted on the door frame and an armature plate mounted on the door itself. When energized, the magnetic bond secures the door; when power is interrupted, the door releases. This makes it a fail-safe locking solution commonly installed in commercial and institutional buildings where controlled egress is required. Licensed security and low-voltage electricians are the primary tradespeople who install and commission this equipment.

The M38D is suited for single-door access control installations in commercial, institutional, and light industrial environments. Typical applications include interior and exterior doors in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and government buildings where a reliable electromagnetic hold is needed. The unit is sold individually and is intended for integration with access control panels, card readers, request-to-exit devices, and door position sensors as part of a complete access control system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or qualified access control technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 70 (NEC). Disconnect and lock out all power to the access control system before mounting or wiring the lock. Verify that door and frame geometry allow proper armature plate alignment to achieve full magnetic contact. Coordinate with the authority having jurisdiction regarding life-safety and egress requirements before placing magnetic locks on any exit door.
