Securitron M68D Magnalock 1,200 lb | Door Position Switch
The Securitron M68D is a heavy-duty, bracket-mount electromagnetic lock delivering 1,200 lb of holding force for demanding commercial access-control applications. Designed for indoor use, the M68D mounts via a bracket assembly and includes an integrated door position switch (Senstat) that reports door status to your access-control system — keeping you informed whether the door is open or closed, independently of the magnetic bond. This listing ships in 630 satin stainless finish and operates on automatic 12/24 VDC power, making it straightforward to integrate into new or existing low-voltage access-control infrastructure.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Holding Force: 1,200 lb electromagnetic retention provides robust, positive door securing for high-traffic commercial corridors, server rooms, and restricted-access areas.
- Bracket-Mount Configuration: The included bracket accommodates doors where a standard surface-mount profile is not feasible, allowing flexible positioning on the frame or header.
- Integrated Door Position Switch (Senstat): Built-in door status monitoring feeds door-open/door-closed signals to your access-control panel — note that Senstat is a position sensor and is not the same as a BondSTAT (bond-sensing) function.
- Automatic 12/24 VDC Operation: Auto-sensing dual-voltage input (250 mA at 12 VDC / 125 mA at 24 VDC) simplifies installation and accommodates a wide range of power supplies without manual voltage selection.
- UL 10C Listed – 1-Hour Fire Door: Rated for use on 1-hour fire-rated door assemblies per UL 10C, supporting code-compliant installations on fire-rated openings.
- ANSI/BHMA A156.23 Grade 2 Certified: Meets ANSI/BHMA A156.23 (E18501-1000) electromagnetic lock standards, providing a verified performance benchmark for architects and specifiers.
- Satin Stainless Finish (630): Corrosion-resistant 630 finish delivers a clean, professional appearance compatible with contemporary commercial door hardware schemes.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated 32°F to 110°F for reliable indoor performance across standard commercial HVAC environments.
Important Installation & Egress Notes
A magnetic lock is not a complete egress solution on its own. Per fire and life-safety codes, the M68D must be paired with appropriate latching hardware and integrated with your building's fire-alarm release system to ensure fail-safe egress. A standalone push button does not constitute the sole required release device. Consult your local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) and applicable NFPA 101 / IBC requirements when specifying electromagnetic locks on egress paths. This unit is rated for indoor use only — it carries no weatherproof or outdoor rating.
