what their buildings occupancy is
commercial/residential magnetic locks
have a number of advantages over
conventional locks the door ability fast
operation make them ideal in a
high-traffic environment
maintenance-free no moving parts and
their stainless steel construction make
them weather resistant and a good choice
in any climate vehicle resistant wood
over 3,000 pounds of holding force
today's magnetic locks are competitive
with conventional locks to the unknowing
firefighters these locks can be a
formidable opponent the key to making
engine through those locks comes from
understanding how they operate and using
the correct entry techniques
the magnetic lock is a simple locking
device that consists of an electromagnet
by attaching the electromagnet to the
doorframe in a strike plate to the door
a DC electric current roughly 250
milliamps passing through the
electromagnet attracts the strike plate
locking the door occupants use a special
key or card to open the lock the means
is placed over the scanning mechanism
and the signal momentarily interrupts
the electric current allowing the door
to open once the door closes in the
electromagnet in the strike plate make
contact the door is locked again
electromagnetic locks are failsafe
releasing instantly upon command or loss
of power
Pelkey is required to release the lock
when exiting the building
however the occupants was still home
entirely interrupt the electronic by
look for and push the door open button
located by the frame
the door forcing these doors in an
emergency is simple when the proper
tools and techniques are applied using a
Halligan bar place the ads behind the
door handle between the frame and strike
plate now push down in a vertical or
tilting the ads ninety degrees and break
the magnetic bond you can also use the
plate of an axe once the door is open
you can keep it from relocking by
placing a nail or other similar metal
object on the magnetic plate
firefighters company officers and
incident commanders should familiarize
themselves with abilities and their
responses
during routine inspections identify any
hazard or useful forcible entry concerns
then plan and practice your actions
research preparation and training prior
to an emergency can increase your member
safety and efficiency thanks for
watching
