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.
