Why EM Locks Fail (And How to Choose a Reliable Brand)
EM lock failures are often blamed on product quality—but in reality, installation and system design play a major role.
Common Reasons EM Locks Fail
Poor alignment between magnet and armature plate
Insufficient or unstable power supply
Incorrect bracket selection (L, ZL, U)
Low-quality or inconsistent manufacturing
How Brand Choice Matters
Reliable brands ensure:
Consistent holding force
Stable electrical performance
Better tolerance for installation imperfections
Brands like Dormakaba and Securitron are known for durability, while newer brands like Elock focus on balancing performance with affordability.
Final Tip
A well-installed, mid-range EM lock can outperform a poorly installed premium one. Choosing a brand that prioritizes real-world usability can significantly reduce failure rates.
