HES 1200D HES Alarm Controls Double Door Magnetic Lock 1,200lbs
When you need to secure double doors in high-traffic commercial environments without the mechanical complexity of mortise locks or electric strikes, electromagnetic locks deliver fail-safe operation with zero moving parts to maintain. The HES 1200D provides 1,200 pounds of combined holding force across two doors from a single compact housing, eliminating the need to mount separate maglocks and simplifying both installation and access control integration.
Key Features
- 1,200 lbs. total holding force (600 lbs. per door) for secure double door installations
- Single housing design reduces installation time and mounting hardware compared to dual maglock configurations
- Fail-safe operation automatically releases both doors during power loss or fire alarm activation
- No mechanical components to wear, adjust, or lubricate over the life of the lock
- Compatible with standard access control systems, card readers, and exit devices
- Low power consumption reduces load on access control panels and power supplies
- Suitable for interior and exterior applications in office buildings, healthcare facilities, education, and retail
- Minimal door preparation required compared to mechanical locking hardware
Electromagnetic locks remain the preferred solution for integrators dealing with fire code requirements, ADA compliance, and life safety mandates. The fail-safe design inherently satisfies egress requirements without additional monitoring circuits or mechanical dogging. The 1200D's integrated dual-door configuration means you're running a single wire drop instead of two, cutting both material and labor costs on the access control side. Mount the lock to the header, attach armature plates to each door, wire to your panel, and you're operational.
The 600-pound hold per door handles standard commercial hollow metal and aluminum storefront applications without issue. For installations requiring bond status verification or door position feedback, wire in separate door contacts—the maglock itself provides holding force only. Pair with request-to-exit devices, push buttons, or integrated card reader systems based on your client's security policy and traffic patterns.
