Maglock for Inner Doors (2022) |

Magnetic locks (maglocks) were mostly installed for main building entrances and rarely for inner doors. The reason is that maglocks could be hard to install for inner doors which do not operate in the same convention as main building entrance doors. Main entrance doors push out to open. Inner doors pull in or slide to open. Nevertheless, there are variations as the implementation is situationally determined.

We recently installed 2 maglocks in an upmarket apartment building in Auckland. Both are for inner doors. One pushes out to open, and one pushes in to open. One is a wooden door, and one is a glass door. The installation techniques are therefore different. Furthermore, human safety as a precaution was given extra consideration (instead of the norm). The maglocks are controlled by either RFID cards or PIN entry or both for dual authenticity.

Despite the technical challenges, Compucon New Zealand built them for the client for a price much lower than quoted by other installers. Besides, Compucon did it in a turkey manner, and was involved in the procedure of setting up the building’s database ready for tenants to use.
