Schlage Electronics M490G Electromagnetic Gate Lock, For Access Control System, 1,500-lb. Direct Holding Force

The Schlage M490G electromagnetic gate lock meets or exceeds Builders Hardware Manufacturer Association (BHMA) 1,500-lb. hold force requirements to create a gate locking system for a swinging or sliding gate. The included top-jamb mounting bracket installs onto the gate frame or post and accommodates slight misalignment of the electromagnet and armature. The magnet portion is active when connected to a power source, and it loses its magnetic hold and unlocks the gate when power is removed either with the gate access system or by power outage (also called a fail-safe design). The automatic surge suppressor protects the equipment from damage if voltage spikes.The weather-resistant housing can be used outdoors and has a silver-colored nickel-plated finish that resists corrosion. The 1/2" compression fitting ensures the cables are protected from weather and resists vandalism. The gate's lock status and magnetic-bond sensors communicate with the system to identify if the gate is open or closed and to monitor the strength of the magnetic connection to ensure a strong hold.SpecificationsDirect holding force1,500 lb.Specifications metLock meets or exceeds BHMA 1,500-lb. hold force requirements.Electromagnet dimensions3 x 11 x 1-3/4 inches (H x W x D)*Current draw0.65A @ 12 VDC, 0.35A @ 24 VDCPower supply12 or 24 VDC*H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.For more information, see the manufacturer's literature.Electronic door locking systems use electric current to control and secure access. Entry is regulated with a door access device such as a keypad or a reader that limits entry to authorized users. Some systems can designate user access for specific hours or days and may include a keyway for mechanical override. Common electronic locking mechanisms include electromagnetic locks and electric strikes. These systems are hardwired or battery powered, which is suitable when electrical wiring is not readily available. Locks are available in cylindrical and mortise styles. A cylindrical lock requires two bored perpendicular holes in the door for installation: one in the door face and a crossbore hole in the door edge. A mortise lock fits into a pocket recess in the door edge.Schlage Electronics, an Allegion brand, manufactures security products for commercial and residential use.
