Securitron M68DLS Magnalock 1,200 lb | LED, Door Position Switch, Senstat
The Securitron M68DLS is a heavy-duty, bracket-mount electromagnetic lock delivering 1,200 lb of holding force for demanding commercial access-control applications. Designed exclusively for indoor use, the M68DLS ships in a 630 satin stainless finish and includes an integrated door position switch (DPS), status LED, and Senstat sensor — giving installers and system integrators real-time door and bond monitoring without adding separate components. Automatic dual-voltage operation at 12 VDC / 24 VDC simplifies installation across a wide range of power supplies and access-control panels.
This listing covers the bracket-mount configuration, suitable for applications where a direct armature-to-frame mount is not practical. Like all maglocks, the M68DLS is not a stand-alone egress solution; it must be paired with appropriate latching hardware and a fire-alarm release circuit to comply with applicable life-safety codes. A standalone push button does not constitute the sole means of egress release.
Key Features & Benefits
- 1,200 lb Holding Force: Meets the rigorous demands of high-traffic commercial doors, access-controlled corridors, and security vestibules.
- Integrated Door Position Switch: Provides immediate feedback to the access-control system confirming door open/closed status — eliminating a separate DPS installation step.
- Status LED: Visual indication of lock energization state for fast troubleshooting and end-user clarity.
- Senstat Sensor: Monitors armature-to-magnet bond quality; note that Senstat is not the same as BondSTAT technology.
- Automatic 12/24 VDC Dual Voltage: Auto-detects supply voltage (250 mA at 12 VDC or 125 mA at 24 VDC), reducing commissioning errors and stocking complexity.
- UL 10C Rated – 1-Hour Fire Door Compliant: Tested and listed to UL 10C for use on 1-hour fire-rated door assemblies when installed per manufacturer requirements.
- ANSI/BHMA A156.23 Grade 2 Certified: Meets ANSI/BHMA E18501-1000 electromagnetic lock performance standards.
- Compact Body Profile: At 10-1/2 in long × 3-5/8 in high × 2 in deep, the M68DLS fits standard commercial door frames without extensive frame modification.
- 630 Satin Stainless Finish: Corrosion-resistant and aesthetically consistent with commercial stainless hardware schedules.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Rated 32°F to 110°F for climate-controlled commercial environments.
Applications
- Access-controlled interior doors in office buildings, healthcare facilities, and educational campuses
- Security vestibules and mantrap entries
- Server rooms, IT closets, and restricted-access corridors
- Fire-rated interior door assemblies requiring UL 10C compliance
- Bracket-mount installations where frame geometry precludes a standard inline maglock
Important Installation & Compliance Notes
The M68DLS is rated for indoor use only and carries no weatherproof or outdoor rating. It must be integrated with a compliant egress release (e.g., fire-alarm door release, request-to-exit device) and latching hardware per local code. Consult NFPA 101, IBC, and the local AHJ for egress compliance requirements before specifying.
