Maglock: Increase your Walk Gate Security
Do you have a walk gate that needs a little updated security? In the world of gate access control, there are several different options you can choose from. All you need is a little innovation and no matter the size of your budget, any thing is possible. Take some time to do some research and find out what would work best for you.
A popular solution to this problem is standalone keypads and electromagnetic locks, known as maglocks. The photos below feature a standalone 12VDC powered keypad and maglock. If you’re interested in a standalone keypad or maglock, it is important to consider:
- Power – You need to know how you are going to get power to energize the keypad and maglock. A good way to do this is with a transformer plugged into a 115VAC outlet.
- Access – You need to know if you want your walk gate to be accessed through keypad, card reader and/or a key fob. This LiftMaster Wired Keypad and Proximity Reader has the capability for accessing with a key fob or a pin number.
- Mount – You need to know how you want the maglock mounted to the gate. The power of the maglock ensures that the lock will not be broken just from being pushed on, so you need to make sure it is also welded fast to the gate. In the first photo below, you can see a welding blanket that is used to protect the customer’s siding on their building or home.
