What Securitron is known for
Securitron is a specialist brand focused on electric locking hardware and access control components, with a long history in electromagnetic ("mag") locks often sold under the Magnalock® name. The brand’s product set spans full-size electromagnetic locks, compact mag locks for storefronts and glass doors, electromechanical handles and levers, power supplies and power transfers, push buttons, keypads and a range of mounting and spacer brackets used to adapt locks to different frame and door types. Securitron also publishes detailed datasheets and product catalogs that specify holding force, monitoring options and finish codes.
Main product families and technologies
- Electromagnetic locks (Magnalock series): a range of holding-force options (commonly 600 lb, 1200 lb and higher) for surface, recessed and bracket-mounted installations.
- BondSTAT and monitoring options: integrated lock-state sensing and optional door position or bond monitoring configurations used to signal access control panels or building automation systems.
- ElectroLynx modular wiring (EL- prefix): factory-wired connector options and prewired accessories that reduce field termination and speed installations.
- Electromechanical exit/entry hardware: powered handles, touch-sense bars and electromechanical trim for controlled egress and aesthetic installations.
- Power supplies and power-transfer devices: solutions to distribute power to locks and card readers through pivots or door frames.
- Accessories: frame spacer brackets, shock-absorbing strikes, cylinder and cabinet locks and other mechanical mounting hardware.
Common applications
Securitron hardware is used across commercial, industrial and institutional openings. Typical use cases include storefront glass doors and office interiors where compact mag locks are preferred; heavy-duty single- and double-leaf doors in warehouses and service areas requiring 1,200 lb or greater holding force; secure perimeters and detention-style environments that need monitored locks and redundant mounting; sliding doors and gates with dedicated bracket kits; and retrofit projects where spacer brackets and strike options let an integrator adapt a new mag lock to an existing frame.
Key model and option language procurement buyers should watch
Securitron part numbers and suffixes encode critical procurement details. When specifying or replacing a unit, buyers should confirm:
- Holding force and series (example: 600 lb M380, 1,200 lb M62).
- Voltage and power type (common options: 12/24 VDC; some families include automatic dual-voltage models).
- Monitoring and accessory codes (BondSTAT, DPS/door position switch, BD/BDX designators on some models).
- Mounting method and strike options (face, offset, split strike, bracketed or recessed).
- Finish and cosmetic codes (manufacturer finish numbers or US hardware codes).
- ElectroLynx (EL-) prefix to indicate prewired connector options that change installation steps.
How Safsale helps buyers identify and source Securitron models
- Listings and images: each SKU includes multiple photos so teams can visually confirm mounting style, size and finish before ordering.
- Datasheets and PDFs: downloadable spec sheets and product catalogs are attached to product pages to verify technical details such as holding force, dimensions, wiring diagrams and finish codes.
- Filters and categories: buyers can narrow results by product family and by attributes like voltage or monitoring.
- Reviews and Q&A: installer reviews and question threads provide real-world feedback on fit, bracket compatibility and field issues.
- Cross-reference assistance: Safsale’s product descriptions highlight common replacement and retrofit parts (frame spacers, strike kits and ElectroLynx variants) to reduce ordering errors.
Practical sourcing and replacement guidance
Copy the full manufacturer part number from the existing unit and compare suffixes — small differences (for example a monitoring option, an EL- connector or finish code) change compatibility. Confirm electrical details, mounting and strike requirements, and use attached datasheets to confirm hole patterns and wiring pinouts. For high-value or critical-path hardware, verify current warranty and end-of-life details for the exact model.
Buyer checklist for purchase orders
- Manufacturer model and complete option suffixes
- Required voltage and wiring harness type (EL vs. field-wire)
- Monitoring options and required outputs (BondSTAT, DPS, REX inputs)
- Mounting method and any spacer/bracket SKU
- Finish and cosmetic code
- Quantity, lead time expectations and any replacement policy notes
