Hager 2941 Electromagnetic Magnetic Lock — 600 lb Holding Force, 12/24VDC, Aluminum Finish

The Hager 2941 is a surface-mount electromagnetic lock (maglock) delivering 600 lb of holding force for access-controlled and emergency-egress openings. Operating on field-selectable 12VDC or 24VDC, the 2941 is a failsafe locking solution — it releases automatically upon loss of power, making it inherently code-compliant for egress applications when integrated with a proper request-to-exit (RTE) device and fire-alarm release path. The housing is finished in ALM (Sprayed Aluminum), Hager's standard anodized aluminum finish coordinating with US26D / satin chromium hardware packages.

Key Features & Benefits

• 600 lb Holding Force: Robust magnetic hold suitable for secured perimeter doors, stairwells, and access-controlled openings in commercial and institutional buildings.
• Field-Selectable 12/24VDC: A single unit covers both common DC supply voltages — simplifying procurement and reducing on-hand inventory requirements for facilities with mixed power supplies.
• Failsafe by Design: As with all electromagnetic locks, the Hager 2941 is locked only while energized and releases the instant power is removed. There is no fail-secure maglock configuration. This inherent failsafe behavior supports code-compliant egress when paired with an RTE sensor and fire-alarm integration.
• Surface-Mount Installation: Mounts to the door frame header and door face without mortising — compatible with hollow metal, aluminum, and wood door assemblies.
• ALM Finish: Sprayed aluminum finish over rust-inhibiting primer; coordinates with satin chromium (US26D / 626) locksets and exit devices.
• 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Backed by Hager Companies, a manufacturer with over 175 years of continuous operation in commercial and institutional door hardware.

Applications

• Perimeter access-controlled entries in office buildings, schools, and government facilities
• Stairwell doors requiring access control with automatic egress release
• Interior secured openings in healthcare, correctional, and institutional settings
• Any opening requiring a failsafe electromagnetic lock integrated with an access control system, RTE motion sensor, or fire-alarm panel

Specifier & Installer Notes

Electromagnetic maglocks are failsafe by design — there is no fail-secure maglock. For code-compliant installation, the Hager 2941 must be integrated with a request-to-exit (RTE) device (motion sensor or push-button) and a fire-alarm release path so the lock de-energizes on alarm, allowing free egress. Verify local AHJ requirements for delayed-egress or access-controlled egress applications before specifying. A voltage selection switch accessible in the wiring compartment allows field configuration between 12VDC and 24VDC without replacing the unit.
