Magnetic locks and Electric Strikes
Electric locks are part of your door access control system.
There are a variety of automated door locking systems available from
Rutherford Controls. You can select either a magnetic lock or electric
strike to secure a door.
Electric locks are a critical part of your door access control system. There are two common types of electric locks, electric strike and the magnetic (or Mag) lock. Each type has its place in the security provided by access control. Understanding the differences between these two types is essential to ensure the security and functionality of your access control system. To learn more about the right electric lock for your application, see the descriptions below and please read our article Access Control Electric Locks: Mags versus Strikes.
To determine the right electric lock contact us. Send us a picture of the door you would like to secure. It would help to get a picture of the frame side and another of the door side. Once we see the picture we will get back with recommendations and pricing.
Magnetic locks are used in high-security areas where you need to monitor the movement of people. Since people are required to use their access cards in both directions, you can track who enters and leaves a secure area.
Electric strikes are easy to install and are used to secure outer and inner doors, but do not prevent egress from an area like the magnetic lock. It replaces the fixed strike place in a standard lock.
Special Cabinet Locks are available as well. For example, we have small locks that can be used to secure cabinets. These can be used to lock everything from filing cabinets to drug cabinets.
There are a variety of locks available for many different applications. Contact us for assistance in selecting the right lock for your requirements. We don’t just sell at the lowest price, we also provide valuable technical support to make sure you get the right products.
These locks work with our Access Control systems, and integrate with our IP cameras providing a complete security system solution.
