Platinum Access MAG24-13 Magnetic Gate Lock

1300 lb Magnetic Lock for Outdoor Gate Security

The Platinum Access MAG24-13 Magnetic Lock, also known as MAG13 or Platinum-MAG13, is a heavy-duty electromagnetic lock for gates and other controlled access points requiring a secure holding force. It is also the replacement for the discontinued Platinum Access MAG24-800 Magnetic Lock for Gates.

When power is applied, the magnet attracts the armature plate and holds the gate closed. When power is removed, the lock releases and allows the gate to open. Rated at 1300 pounds of holding force, the MAG24-13 is designed for indoor and outdoor access control applications where a gate must remain secured against unauthorized entry.

The unit supports 12VDCoperation and includes a 14VDC transformer. A removable and weldable mounting bracket helps with gate installation, while the attached electrical junction box provides a protected location for conduit connection and wiring. The lock also includes a weldable armature plate that mounts to the moving gate section.

For safety and proper operation, mag locks should be installed with the correct access control wiring, code-compliant emergency egress, and any required fire or life-safety release devices. The contact surfaces of the magnet and armature plate must remain clean and properly aligned for full holding force.
