Securitron M38 Magnalock 600 lb | Indoor Bracket Mount

The Securitron M38 Magnalock is a commercial-grade electromagnetic lock delivering a robust 600-pound holding force in a compact bracket-mount configuration. Designed for indoor access control applications, the M38 operates on automatic 12/24 VDC dual voltage and is factory-finished in 630 satin stainless steel for a clean, professional appearance. This listing covers the bracket-mount, no-monitoring variant — an economical choice where door-position feedback is handled elsewhere in the access control system.

UL 10C listed for 1-hour positive-pressure fire door use and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.23 Grade 3 (E18501-500), the M38 meets the standards commercial projects require. Its low-profile body — just 10-1/2 in. long × 2-1/2 in. high × 2-1/2 in. deep — fits neatly above single doors, interior vestibule doors, and controlled-access entries without consuming excessive frame clearance.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Holding Force: 600 lb electromagnetic holding strength secures interior access control doors against unauthorized entry.
• Bracket-Mount Design: Bracket mounting accommodates doors and frames where a flush surface-mount is not possible, simplifying retrofit and new-construction installations.
• Automatic Dual Voltage: Auto-selects 12 VDC (325 mA) or 24 VDC (175 mA) — no manual jumper required, easing compatibility with virtually any access control panel.
• UL 10C / 1-Hour Fire Rated: Listed for use on positive-pressure 1-hour fire-rated door assemblies, supporting code-compliant designs.
• ANSI/BHMA A156.23 Grade 3 Certified: Independently verified to meet industry hardware performance standards.
• Compact Footprint: 10-1/2 in. × 2-1/2 in. × 2-1/2 in. body keeps the installation low-profile on interior openings.
• 630 Satin Stainless Finish: Corrosion-resistant and aesthetically neutral — works with a wide range of commercial interior trim packages.
• Wide Operating Range: Rated 32 °F to 110 °F for standard interior commercial environments.

Application & Egress Compliance Notes

The M38 is intended for indoor use only and carries no weatherproof or outdoor rating. A maglock is not a standalone egress solution. Pair the M38 with appropriate latching hardware and a fire-alarm release interface so the lock de-energizes upon alarm — as required by NFPA 101 and IBC egress provisions. A standalone push button alone does not satisfy egress code requirements; consult your local AHJ for compliant egress configurations.

This listing does not include bond-sensing (BondSTAT/Senstat) monitoring. If door-position or bond-status monitoring is required, select a monitoring-equipped M38 variant.
