Shearlocks

About Shear Locks

Shearlocks offer a superior locking solution by combining the strength of electromagnets with the additional mechanical force provided by aligned pins. This combination ensures an exceptionally secure hold. As a result, these locks are ideal for high-security applications. The electromagnets provide the initial locking force, which is then significantly enhanced by the mechanical engagement of the pins.  This ensures that the door remains firmly locked.

One of the key benefits of this type of lock is the ability to maintain a secure lock even when there is a loss of power. In view of the mechanical component of the lock, the door remains locked even when the magnet disengages. This dual locking mechanism makes shearlocks a reliable choice for securing sensitive or high-risk areas. They work well in commercial buildings, financial institutions, and other facilities where security is paramount.

In addition to their robust security features, these maglocks work with various door types and frames. Accordingly, they provide a versatile solution for different security needs. The combination of electromagnetic and mechanical locking mechanisms ensures that shearlocks provide both high security and peace of mind for property owners and facility managers.
