Maglock 280Kg Monitored Door Lock CX-280S

Maglock 280Kg Monitored Door Lock CX-280S

The CX-280S Maglock (280Kg Monitored Door Lock) is a surface-mounted electromagnetic locking device designed for access control and security systems in commercial and industrial environments. It provides a strong holding force of 280kg (600 lbs), ensuring secure door locking while enabling controlled entry and exit through integrated access systems.

This model features monitored output (door status feedback), making it suitable for installations where real-time lock status and system integration are required, such as office buildings, retail premises, and restricted access areas.

The CX-280S operates using an electromagnetic locking mechanism, where a powered magnet mounted on the door frame bonds with a metal armature plate on the door. When power is applied, the lock remains engaged; when power is cut, it releases—making it a fail-safe security solution commonly used in emergency exit systems.

The 280kg holding force provides sufficient strength for single-door applications, ensuring resistance against forced entry while maintaining smooth operation. This makes it suitable for controlled access points such as offices, server rooms, and retail environments.

A key differentiator of the CX-280S is its monitoring capability, which outputs door/lock status signals to access controllers or alarm systems. This enables real-time monitoring, event logging, and enhanced security management, especially in integrated systems with keypads, RFID readers, or biometric devices.

Its surface-mounted design simplifies installation without requiring complex door modifications, and optional brackets (e.g. ZL brackets) allow installation on different door types and configurations.
