What to check
- door and frame suitability.
- release controls and emergency operation.
- power supply and monitoring.
- interface with access and fire arrangements.
Plan the next decision
Treat the maglock as one component of the complete door system. Safe escape, accessibility, security and fault behaviour must be established for the actual opening.
Define the person who can authorise work, the access conditions and the outcome required. Where the subject affects safety, security or compliance, use the competent assessment and premises-specific information required for that system.
Records and follow-up
Keep the instruction, findings, action taken, completion evidence and any open recommendation with its owner and due date.

Use the relevant commercial route, browse maintenance and contact the responsible business with the site-specific requirement.

See current official guidance. Apply it to the actual premises and recheck current requirements before relying on time-sensitive details.
Frequently asked questions
What should be checked before specifying a maglock?
Consider the door, access requirements, power and how people escape. The locking arrangement must be assessed alongside the building’s fire safety arrangements.
Who should receive operating information?
Give the responsible team the controls, access permissions and fault response information, with maintenance responsibilities agreed.
