HES AM6370 Maglock Mounting Brackets
The AM6370 is a precision-engineered mounting bracket system designed to anchor electromagnetic lock (maglock) hardware to standard door frame structures. If you're deploying an access control system that relies on maglocks for entry point security, these brackets provide the structural foundation that ensures consistent, reliable lock engagement across your facility's controlled access points.
Overview
Maglock systems depend on proper bracket alignment and rigidity to function predictably. The AM6370 mounting brackets integrate with HES access control hardware to provide that structural baseline. These brackets are engineered for door frame mounting—the most common configuration in commercial buildings, data centers, server rooms, and other environments where you need electromagnetic locking tied to an access control panel or reader.
The bracket design accommodates standard North American door frame dimensions and fastening conventions, meaning installation doesn't require frame modifications or specialized carpentry. This reduces deployment time and cost, especially in retrofits where you're adding access control to existing door openings.
Key Features
- Door frame mounting configuration: Direct fastening to standard frame geometry—no adapter plates or shims needed in typical installations, which cuts labor and reduces alignment risk.
- HES system compatibility: Engineered specifically for HES electromagnetic lock product lines, ensuring proper load ratings and electrical connection pathways without guesswork or third-party adapter compatibility issues.
- Standard access control integration: Designed to pair with conventional door control electronics—panels, readers, and relay modules—without requiring custom wiring or control logic modifications.
- Durable bracket construction: Metal form factor withstands repeated lock/unlock cycles and sustained holding force, relevant for high-traffic access points or areas with frequent personnel movement.
- Secure facility deployment: Suitable for controlled-access environments including offices, data centers, secure server rooms, and sensitive areas where you need reliable, auditable entry point control.
Integration & Compatibility
The AM6370 brackets pair with HES maglock units and standard 12VDC or 24VDC access control power supplies. They are compatible with access control panels, magnetic card readers, biometric readers, and keypad entry systems that trigger the maglock release. No special firmware, VMS integration, or software configuration is required—these are passive hardware components that handle the mechanical lock-to-frame connection.
Installation involves fastening the bracket to the door frame using standard hardware (bolts or fasteners appropriate to your frame material) and connecting the maglock unit to the bracket. Electrical connections between the access control panel and maglock are independent of bracket installation.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your facility uses glass door installations, frameless door systems, or non-standard frame geometries, you may need alternative mounting hardware from the HES product family. Similarly, if your access control design calls for surface-mounted locks rather than frame-integrated solutions, different bracket styles will be more appropriate. Consult with your systems integrator or HES technical support to confirm frame compatibility before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the AM6370 brackets suitable for outdoor door installations?
A: The brackets themselves are metal and weather-resistant, but outdoor maglock deployments require additional environmental considerations—weatherproof power supplies, sealed electrical connections, and enclosures for the access control electronics. The brackets alone do not make a system suitable for direct outdoor exposure without these complementary measures.
Q: Can I use the AM6370 with non-HES maglock units?
A: The AM6370 is engineered for HES electromagnetic locks. Cross-brand compatibility depends on physical dimensions and mounting hole patterns. Verify with the lock manufacturer before purchasing to avoid misalignment or improper load distribution.
Q: What tools and fasteners do I need for installation?
A: Standard hand tools—a drill and fasteners suitable to your door frame material (typically wood or metal studs). The brackets themselves do not include installation hardware; you supply fasteners appropriate to your frame construction.
Q: Do the brackets require any electrical configuration?
A: No. The AM6370 is a passive mechanical bracket. All electrical connections between your access control panel and maglock are independent and handled during panel setup and maglock wiring.
Q: How long do these brackets typically last?
A: Metal construction and durable coating support long-term use in controlled environments. Lifespan depends on lock cycle frequency and environmental exposure. High-traffic access points may require inspection or replacement after several years of intensive use.
