MORX 300 lbs EM Lock with Red LED

Overview

The MORX 300 lbs EM Lock with Red LED is a lighter electromagnetic (EM) lock for interior doors that do not need high holding force: cabins, meeting rooms, store rooms, glass partitions and cupboard-type doors on access control. A magnet on the frame holds a steel plate on the door while powered and releases when power is cut, and a red LED shows the lock status.

Is it right for you?

• It suits an interior door where resistance to force is not the main concern.
• It is fail-safe, so the door opens on a power cut or when the access system releases it.
• For a main entrance, a 600 lbs lock is the more common choice.
• The MORX brackets in this range are sold for 600 lbs and 1200 lbs locks, so do not assume they fit this lock body.

Key features

• 300 lbs holding force class.
• Red LED status indicator.
• Electromagnetic, fail-safe operation: unlocked when power is off.

What else you need

• A regulated DC power supply rated for the lock current.
• An access controller, standalone reader or exit button with a relay output to switch the lock.
• A MORX exit button to release the door from inside.

Installation

An access control installer should mount the magnet on the frame header on the push side and the armature plate on the door so they meet squarely, and wire the lock through the controller or lock supply.

Before you buy

• Dimensions, supply voltage and current are not stated by the manufacturer; confirm them from the unit label before choosing a power supply.
• The 600 lbs and 1200 lbs brackets are not stated to fit this lock.
• The door opens whenever power is cut, so add a backed-up supply if it must stay locked.
