Securitron M68DS Magnalock 1,200 lb | Door Position Switch, Senstat
The Securitron M68DS is a heavy-duty, bracket-mount electromagnetic lock delivering 1,200 lb of holding force for high-traffic commercial access-control applications. Designed exclusively for indoor use, this listing is configured with a bracket mount, an integrated door position switch (Senstat), and a 630 satin stainless steel finish. The M68DS accepts automatic 12/24 VDC input, drawing 250 mA at 12 VDC or 125 mA at 24 VDC, making integration with a wide range of access-control power supplies straightforward.
The compact maglock body — 10-1/2 in long × 3-5/8 in high × 2 in deep — fits tight openings while delivering institutional-grade holding force. Rated for operating temperatures from 32 °F to 110 °F, the M68DS is suited for interior corridors, stairwells, vestibules, server-room entries, and other controlled access points where reliable electromagnetic locking is required.
Important compliance note: A maglock is not a standalone egress solution. The M68DS must be paired with proper latching hardware and a fire-alarm release to meet life-safety codes. A standalone push button alone does not constitute a code-compliant release.
Key Features & Benefits
- 1,200 lb Holding Force: Provides robust, tamper-resistant security on single interior doors in commercial and institutional settings.
- Bracket-Mount Configuration: Enables installation on doors where a standard surface-mount profile is not practical, offering greater mounting flexibility.
- Integrated Senstat Door Position Switch: Monitors door status in real time and reports open/closed condition back to the access-control system — note that Senstat is distinct from BondSTAT technology.
- Automatic 12/24 VDC Input: Auto-selects voltage, simplifying compatibility with existing power infrastructure (250 mA at 12 VDC / 125 mA at 24 VDC).
- UL 10C Listed – 1-Hour Fire Rating: Meets the requirements for use on 1-hour fire-rated door assemblies per UL 10C.
- ANSI/BHMA A156.23 Grade 2 Compliant: Tested and certified to Grade 2 electromagnetic lock standards (E18501-1000).
- 630 Satin Stainless Finish: Corrosion-resistant and aesthetically consistent with stainless hardware suites in commercial interiors.
- Compact Body Profile: At just 10-1/2 × 3-5/8 × 2 in, the lock fits a range of door frame configurations without excessive projection.
Applications
- Interior access-controlled single doors in commercial office buildings
- Government, healthcare, and institutional facilities requiring 1-hour fire-rated locking
- Server rooms, data centers, and secure storage areas
- Interior stairwell and vestibule doors on integrated access-control systems
