Overview
The ZKTeco EML280-5 is an electromagnetic lock (EM lock) for a single door with a lock signal output, so the access controller can confirm the door is actually locked rather than assuming it. It is rated at 280 kg (600 lbs) and fits glass, wooden, fireproof, sliding and metal doors. The “-5” means five wires: power plus the signal output.
Is it right for you?
- It suits server rooms, cash offices and any door where the access log has to be trusted, since the controller can raise a door-held-open or forced-door alarm.
- If you do not need door status, the EML280-2 does the same job on two wires.
- For a pair of doors, the EML280D-2 holds both leaves from one body.
- A frameless glass door or a narrow door needs a bracket.
Key features
- Lock signal output, so a door left ajar or a lock that failed to re-engage does not look the same as a secured door at the software end.
- 280 kg (600 lbs) holding force.
- Selectable 12 V DC or 24 V DC, drawing 0.43 A at 12 V or 0.29 A at 24 V.
- Aluminium body, 250 × 48 × 27 mm, 1.66 kg, with a 180 × 38 × 11 mm armature plate.
- Surface mounted on glass, wooden, fireproof, sliding and metal doors.
What else you need
- A 12 V or 24 V DC supply with enough current, battery backed if the door must stay locked through a power cut.
- An access controller with an input for the lock signal, and an exit button or sensor on the inside.
- A bracket, only on a frameless glass door (MLB-280L or MLB-280U) or a narrow door (MLB-280LZ).
Installation
An access control installer should fit it. The lock body mounts on the frame and the armature plate on the door leaf, aligned to meet squarely. Wiring is five cores: power to the supply switched by the controller, and the lock signal to a controller input.
Before you buy
- Like any EM lock it releases when power is removed, so a battery-backed supply is needed if the door must stay secure through a power cut.
- The controller needs a spare input to use the lock signal.
- Glass and narrow doors need a bracket.

Questions about this product
What does the lock signal on the EML280-5 do?
It tells the access controller whether the lock is engaged, so the system can alarm on a door held open or forced.
What happens in a power cut?
It releases, as any electromagnetic lock does. Use a battery-backed supply if the door must stay locked.
Does it run on 12 V or 24 V?
Either. It is selectable, drawing 0.43 A at 12 V or 0.29 A at 24 V.
Can it be fitted to a glass door?
Yes, with the MLB-280L or MLB-280U bracket on frameless glass.
How is it different from the EML280-2?
Same lock and holding force; the EML280-5 adds the lock signal output on five-wire wiring.
