Securitron M38D Magnalock 600 lb | Door Position Switch
The Securitron M38D is a bracket-mount electromagnetic lock from the industry-recognized Magnalock series, delivering a rated 600 lb holding force for commercial access control applications. Designed for indoor use only, this listing features a 630 satin stainless finish and an integrated door position switch (Senstat sensor — note: Senstat is distinct from BondSTAT and does not provide bond-status feedback). The M38D supports automatic 12/24 VDC operation, making it compatible with a wide range of access control panels without manual voltage selection. Compliant with UL 10C (1-hour fire door) and ANSI/BHMA A156.23 Grade 3, it meets the baseline performance standards required for commercial and light institutional installations.
Important egress note: An electromagnetic lock is not a standalone egress solution. The M38D must be paired with appropriate latching hardware and a fire-alarm release circuit. A standalone push button alone does not satisfy code-compliant egress requirements — consult applicable local codes and AHJ guidance when designing your access control system.
Key Features & Benefits
- 600 lb Holding Force: Provides robust, reliable door security suitable for standard commercial interior openings.
- Bracket-Mount Design: The M38D bracket configuration accommodates door and frame conditions where a direct-mount (inline) lock is not suitable, expanding installation flexibility.
- Integrated Door Position Switch (Senstat): Monitors door open/closed status for access control system feedback — note this is door-position monitoring, not electromagnetic bond-status sensing.
- Automatic 12/24 VDC: Self-selecting dual-voltage input eliminates manual voltage configuration; draws 325 mA at 12 VDC or 175 mA at 24 VDC.
- UL 10C Listed – 1 Hour: Certified for use on 1-hour fire-rated door assemblies when installed per listing requirements.
- ANSI/BHMA A156.23 Grade 3: Meets the Grade 3 performance standard (E18501-500) for electromagnetic locks.
- 630 Satin Stainless Finish: Corrosion-resistant finish well-suited to interior environments with moderate aesthetic requirements.
- Compact Body: At 10-1/2 in long × 2-1/2 in high × 2-1/2 in deep, the M38D fits standard commercial door frames without excessive projection.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated 32 °F to 110 °F for standard conditioned indoor environments.
Typical Applications
- Commercial office interior access control doors
- Educational and healthcare facility interior corridors
- Server rooms, data centers, and secure interior spaces
- Doors where bracket mounting is required due to frame or door conditions
- Fire-rated door assemblies requiring UL 10C–listed electromagnetic locking hardware
