What do they say? One door closes, another opens! But suppose you could keep it just as impenetrable? Introducing a miracle of modern engineering that involves magnetic wizardry, an electromagnetic lock for sliding door. In the past, putting a door on lock was quite straightforward.
Then electromagnetic locks came along and turned things upside down, to the point where some features could easily belong in a science fiction movie. Let’s take apart this gem of technology.
Now these little magicians are installing in modern facilities. You would maybe think that safeguarding a sliding door would be beyond even James Bond himself—I mean, let’s face it, those things do not exactly scream security, right? Think again. With an electromagnetic lock, suddenly, a sliding door is firmer than a child refusing to eat his vegetables.
Picture this: Tom, a normal facilities manager, used to be kept awake at night with worry like a dog guarding its meat. He knew the scene at retail places when locking up at night: sliding glass doors which defy gravity and logic.
One night, after too many mugs of ice-cold instant coffee and yet another jammed mechanism to make him froth with rage, a cheap commercial came on TV.
It was offering doors that stayed closed just by pressing a button. Thanks to electromotive locks, Tom got not only security, but power over the doors. It was like lifting a burden from oneself to say the least.
But why stop at retail? Hospitals. Airports. Even those quaint little urban co-working spaces everyone’s trying now. Think about a hospital—everything there is about convenience and safety.
Opener lock: Opening the door with just a touch or even the swipe of your hand means that you don’t have to deal with keys, like a magician on a bad day.
No one wants to be Houdini trying to escape an over-secured room like a hospital, when you’re carrying all that life-or-death equipment.
Meanwhile, at airports… Doors must shut faster than you can say, “free upgrade”. Electromagnetism brings a performance both controversial and remarkably effective in the right circles, rather like sticking pineapple onto pizza this way.
Moving beyond traditional lock-and-key gatekeepers, the now available variable power lock is capable of providing either a modest fail-safe option or deploying entirely fail-secure measures.
In fail-safe mode, the lock itself Administratively disengages when the power goes out–it’s ideal for emergencies or situations requiring high levels of safety.
Whereas under fail-secure settings our door keeps locking til you override it–this flexibility in turning electrical whims off meets an important but basic need for maintaining constant security, locations notwithstanding their grid status.But, let’s enjoy the humor.
You’re Fred, a harried self-made man who thinks nothing of extra miles. Electromagnetic locks made their way into Fred’s coffee shop recently after the infamous “door that jammed.”
Clients tugging at doors and then running into each other all over; it was like some cartoon! With a heartbeats sensor set up, Fred’s bustling coffee joint literally mixes energy (and safety). Picture walking in with just your beating heart! What could be more “personal touch” than that — it’s almost romantic.
These locks save money and the environment, with fewer instances of wear and tear reducing repair costs and maintaining good ecological behavior. Think of electromagnetic locks as the adult in the room. They are like the grown-ups who do not start shouting (or yanking at door knobs) just because they are tired.
They gently manage sources of excess energy and keep everything smooth all around. Today, when an intractable sandwich panel advises: “I really want to be taken off and replaced,” or a door insists on playing Fort Apache with storm clouds? Don’t let Mother Nature have the last laugh.
Electromagnetic locks stick everything tight until every invader outside, be it bad weather or bad people, goes home in frustration. This is the million-dollar idea—put these whimsical locks together with smart technology for good measure.
In urgent need of some office parties? Are you launching raids into enemy territory while business is still being conducted at the site and without anyone finding out? Have everything cabled together wireless along lines of your cell phone and apps.
Tilt your palm and orbit among rooms with a flick of your wrist, slanting the world to your heart on the tip of your tactical device.
Okay, now let’s get this party started. Picture your tranquilly frozen landscape on a blustery winter day, with leaves swirling about like so many dancers entered for “So You Think You Can Dance”.
Inside your comfortably cozy living room, remote and above all, secure: outside world cannot touch you at all—thanks to those trusty electromagnetic locks. They are like invisible watchful dragons, sealing out any draft or the flu while maintaining you within an environmental cocoon.
