HES AM6333 Maglock Mounting Brackets
The HES AM6333 represents precision mounting hardware designed to anchor electromagnetic lock systems in access control deployments across commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. These brackets function as the mechanical foundation for maglock assemblies, absorbing the lateral and tensile loads that door hardware experiences in high-traffic environments. If your door frames are standard wood or metal stud construction, the AM6333 provides the structural integrity needed to prevent bracket flex under repeated access cycles.
Key Features
- 12/24 VDC Power Compatibility: Works with both 12-volt and 24-volt DC power supplies, which means you can standardize on whichever supply voltage your access control system already uses — no need to source dual-voltage components or retrofit panels.
- Dual Mounting Configuration: Supports both surface-mount and frame-mounted installation options, giving you flexibility when dealing with varied door frame geometries — surface-mounting is faster on metal frames, frame-mounting integrates cleaner on wood jambs.
- Standard HES Electromagnetic Lock Compatibility: Engineered to integrate directly with HES maglock systems, ensuring mechanical alignment and electrical continuity without adapter plates or custom fabrication.
- Commercial-Grade Load Handling: Constructed to withstand the mechanical loads typical in high-traffic commercial environments — repeated door cycles, occasional forced-entry attempts, and temperature cycling over years of service.
- Direct Access Control Wiring Integration: Integrates with standard 12/24 VDC access control wiring practices, so your electrician can follow existing conduit runs and termination conventions without deviation.
- Flexible Installation Orientation: Bracket design accommodates varied installation angles and door-frame configurations, reducing the need for custom metalwork or site-specific engineering.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
The AM6333 is commonly installed in controlled-access entry points within commercial offices, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and warehouses where electromagnetic locks integrate with badge readers, keypads, or mobile access systems. Surface-mount configurations are standard on metal commercial door frames; frame-mounted variants suit wood-frame institutional doors. The 12/24 VDC compatibility makes the AM6333 a practical retrofit for facilities upgrading older maglock systems or consolidating multiple access control panels onto a single power supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the AM6333 compatible with non-HES electromagnetic locks?
A: The AM6333 is engineered specifically for HES electromagnetic lock systems. Compatibility with third-party maglock brands is not documented. Consult HES technical support or your system integrator before attempting cross-brand installation.
Q: Can I use the AM6333 with both 12 VDC and 24 VDC systems?
A: Yes. The AM6333 supports both 12 VDC and 24 VDC power supplies. Verify that your access control panel and lock solenoid are rated for the same voltage before commissioning.
Q: What's the difference between surface-mount and frame-mount configurations?
A: Surface-mount brackets attach directly to the door or frame face, making installation visible but straightforward on metal frames. Frame-mounted brackets integrate into the door jamb, offering a cleaner aesthetic on wood-frame installations but requiring precise jamb measurements and routing.
Q: Does the AM6333 include fasteners and installation hardware?
A: Package contents are not specified in the available technical documentation. Contact your supplier or HES directly to confirm what fasteners and templates are included for your mounting method.
Q: Will the AM6333 work with my existing access control wiring?
A: The AM6333 integrates with standard 12/24 VDC access control wiring conventions. If your system uses these voltages and standard maglock wiring practices, the AM6333 should integrate without modification. Have your system integrator review the panel voltage and wiring diagram.
Q: What environmental rating does the AM6333 have?
A: Environmental ratings (IP, IK codes) are not specified in the available documentation. The AM6333 is rated for commercial, institutional, and industrial interior use. Contact HES for guidance on outdoor or harsh-environment applications.

The HES AM6333 is a straightforward piece of hardware — brackets don't have firmware or AI, but they do have to survive daily use without flex or corrosion. The AM6333's dual voltage support (12/24 VDC) is the real convenience here: it means you're not locked into a single power supply standard, and that matters when you're integrating multiple buildings or retrofitting older installations that may still run 12-volt panels.
Technical Highlights:
- 12/24 VDC Dual Compatibility: Eliminates the need to stock or source two different maglock variants — your access control panel voltage determines the choice, not the bracket hardware.
- Dual Mounting Flexibility (Surface and Frame): Reduces site-specific fabrication and engineering overhead — most standard door frames will accept one or the other without custom metalwork.
- Load Handling for Commercial Cycles: Bracket stress concentration is minimized through precision engineering, meaning less vibration and longer hardware life in high-traffic corridors or emergency exits.
Deployment Considerations:
- The AM6333 is HES-specific — don't assume cross-brand maglock compatibility. Mixing brands introduces unknown mechanical tolerances and may void warranty on the lock itself.
- Environmental ratings are not published. If you're installing on a covered loading dock or exposed entryway with moisture, confirm with HES that corrosion resistance is adequate for your climate zone before order commit.
- Package contents (fasteners, templates, shims) are not documented in available specs. Coordinate with your installer before the site visit — running short on stainless fasteners at a weekend opening is not a recovery position.
The AM6333 is the right choice when you're standardizing HES maglock hardware across a multi-building campus or replacing aging brackets on existing HES systems. If you're doing a mixed-brand access control retrofit or building from scratch, confirm HES lock availability and compatibility with your reader/panel vendor first — the bracket will follow, but the lock choice drives the ecosystem.
