Electric Strike & Maglock Installation in Atlanta

Electric strikes and magnetic locks—often called maglocks—serve distinct but complementary roles in modern access control. An electric strike replaces the standard metal strike plate on a door frame, allowing a door to be unlocked remotely while still permitting manual exit. A maglock, by contrast, uses an electromagnet mounted on the door frame and a metal armature on the door itself; when energized, it holds the door firmly shut. Installing either system requires precise alignment, proper wiring, and integration with your existing access control hardware—whether that’s a keypad, card reader, or intercom. For Atlanta properties, this work is especially important because local building codes and fire safety regulations demand that certain doors fail safe (unlock automatically during a power loss) or fail secure (remain locked). A professional installation ensures compliance, avoids false alarms, and prevents costly damage to door frames from misaligned components.

The process begins with an on-site assessment of your door type, frame material, and existing wiring. For an electric strike, the installer cuts a precise cavity into the door frame, mounts the strike, and runs low-voltage wiring to the power supply and control panel. A maglock installation involves mounting the electromagnet on the door frame header and the armature on the door, then routing concealed wiring through the frame or surface-mounted conduit. Both require careful attention to voltage requirements, amperage draw, and backup battery connections—especially in Atlanta’s older buildings where electrical infrastructure may be outdated. After installation, the system is tested for proper latching, release response, and fail-safe behavior. This is not a DIY job: improper installation can lead to doors that stick, magnets that fail to release, or locks that drain batteries overnight. For Atlanta property managers and business owners, a correctly installed electric strike or maglock provides reliable, code-compliant security without compromising daily operations.
