Electric strike vs magnetic lock
Compare two access-control locking solutions by door, security and power requirements.
The choice depends on the door, frame, opening direction, egress and expected behaviour during a power cut.
Electric strike
It acts on the strike in the frame and can retain use of the mechanical lock.
Maglock
It keeps the door locked while powered and requires suitable mounting, power and control.
The complete door
Reader, controller, exit button, contact, power supply and egress requirements must be assessed as one system.
Mistakes to avoid
- Choosing without checking door and frame
- Ignoring safe egress
- Using an unsuitable power supply
THEVULGO tip
Send photos of the closed door, frame, lock and cable area from both sides.
