New MagForce™ Electromagnetic Locks from Locknetics by Schlage
Full-Featured MagLock Solution with Easy-to-Install Features, Common Template
Special Promotion Through June 30, 2004
FORESTVILLE, CONN. – March 9, 2004 – IR Security & Safety’s Electronic Access Control Division (EACD) today announced that it has expanded its line of electromagnetic locks with the new Locknetics by Schlage 40 Series and 70 Series MagForce solutions. Designed to meet the needs of dealer/integrators, MagForce electromagnetic locks incorporate common templates and other features to make them install easily in any retrofit application.
From now through June 30, 2004, a special “MagForce Mega Promotion” is underway which dealers can select free gifts depending on the quantities of their orders. For a limited time, each MagLock ships with a Mini MAGLite flashlight.
“These MagForce locks are the solution for broad application retrofit security,” advises Marilyn Collins, marketing manager. “Fully-featured, they are easy to select, easy to install and easy to stock.”
By incorporating the Magnetic Bond Sensor (MBS) standard, these new locks ensure end-user security. A built-in door status monitor provides positive door position status. The holding force of the 40 Series exceeds 600 pounds while the 70 Series, for which a double magnet is available, has a holding force exceeding 1,200 pounds. MagForce locks also meet the UL one-hour fire-rated standard. They feature a stainless steel canister and provide a lifetime warranty.
Several features, including a common template with other electromagnetic lock brands, make MagForce locks simple to retrofit. The lock provides a one-piece “Z” bracket for top jamb applications, simplified armature installation and universal header bracket. No armature isolation is required for MBS and the locks provide fully automatic voltage selection for easy connections.
A built-in door status monitor (DSM) can trigger an optional in-line automatic time delay module. The new electromagnetic locks also have low amp draws of 300 mA and 250/125 mA.
New shrink-wrapped, point-of-sale packaging provides easier stocking and simplified selection of MagForce locks. That translates into increased sales.
MagForce electromagnetic locks are available now. For details on the MagForce Mega Promotion on orders through June 30, 2004, contact the local Security & Safety Consultant office (SSC) or wholesaler. Or visit the sales link at www.locknetics.com.
