A short video showing how to properly install an Electro Magnetic door lock to your frame. The lock being used is the EM lock from AKCP www.AKCP.com. Follow us on our blog at securityanswer....
The plate didn't even line up to the mag, the plate was too far up because they mounted the plate without taking into account the measurement for the maglocks mounting bracket.
From Valencia, Venezuela, my experience with Magnetic Locks : t's a lock that gives reasonable security in access control, not too high, but it works, must be supplemented by other devices and should be helped with staff . The MagLocks are good for offices, shops, they always have people inside. If there is no electricity, the lock opens, but you can install a Mini UPS
Was it really necessary to have that loud abrasive annoying music playing during the tutorial? There was no way that the door plate lined up with the mag on this install, you mounted the door plate too high on the door, best practice is to center the door plate on the magnet with the magnet energized, then hold the assembly up to the closed door for alignment, mark the mag mounting location at this time. You can put a bit of double sticky tape on the door plate when doing this, once aligned, cut the power and the plate will stay on the door so you can mark the mounting location, then proceed with the install.
Lmao, you left out 90% of the installation process.. great job! not, my favorite part is you have a cat5 already connected to the lock(I'm assuming for power? as any lock just requires a 18/2), then demonstrate how to drill a crooked hole while the door is closed(LMAO) that you miraculously ran that wire thru.. I wouldn't let you install a zoning sticker on a keypad let alone access security
I've seen people in Europe use cat5, you can use it if you twist the pair of wires together but you need two sets of each color most common is Orange and Orange/White being the positive and Blue and Blue/White as the negative.
A good presentation, but the music was not necessary. Very loud and not suitable for a presentation. The main thing is the presentation and not the music.
This video is not helpful. You are explaining how to do things while showing photos of tools needed and not going step by step. For those of us with little to no experience it is useless.
This was done from inside the door, on a door that pulls to open. If you tried to put this assembly on the other side of this door, the door would not ever open since the lock would block the door...duh.
that lock is a piece of shit you would have too drill 2 extra holes in the metal strip and counter sink the bolt holes so the nut head would set flush and the bolt would have to pass all the way thru the door with washer and lock nuts on the inside or it would pull right out of the door when someone pryed on it with a nail bar and the 2 bolts that hold the EM lock on the door jam is a joke i could get in that door with a craftsman screw driver
we bought a KURR electric lock at our hardware store for 299.00 it works great and is flawless but it is designed differerent and had heavy hardware for mounting to our door.I added an automatic door closer so now if someone breaks in and comes down the stairs the door closes behind them and boom there stuck in the stare case between two steel entry doors and its going to be up to us to deside what happens to them break into the wrong house pay a big price,
Don't understand the purpose of the background music in the videos. Very annoying and loud and not even good music. Just talk without the music. it would be just fine.
Garbage. Any lock is only as good as the way it is mounted and or installed. I small screw is hold the plate on, which means one small kick will handle that.

That guitar tunes in the background was torture
Royneel K agreed
I dunno I'm kind of into it. it's the contents buzzing in the audio that gets me :)

Felt like I'm sitting in some rock concert while gng through this video
What is the purpose of that background noise?
This video made me cry😢 ,how not to install a maglock should be the title!!, & those tools are prehistoric 😂
you talk about using the correct tools at the beginning but use a masonry drill bit to drill into a wooden door frame?
The music is so loud we can't hear you. Poor video editing.

why is it an RJ45 connection to the mag clamp? I have never seen that before
You put Cable in door where it goes up in sky ?
is that a cat 5 powering the lock LMAOOOO
IP Maglock 😂
"if everything lines up perfectly, go ahead and tighten it down..."
If it doesnt line up, then yer fucked.
.....and it didn't line up hahahaha
Thanks for the information
covid brought me here. Thanks for the video!
I lost count of all the errors😔

Thank you!
Thank you

Drilled a crooked hole to start with and stuck the power wire right through the crooked whole and power for the lock came from.....the crooked whole?
the thinner metal piece has a tiny bouncing button on one side that can be adjusted... why? whats it for?
The music is too loud.. it's hard to hear you talk over it.
Why did you broadcast a video about a matter that you don’t know well?
Would the magnetic part attach to a metal door with the plate supplied?
But, but, but it's stupid!! You need to install this outside the room. Some one can unscrew the device and come on in!

It would be fun to watch you try.
Make something better if these are so bad. Used in many places, and haven't read of them failing.

I love the sound of this!!

is there any secrete about doing the video step by step to show how the installation is done but other showing this wak
very nice
I'm no physicist but couldn't you use a strong positive or negative magnet on the lock part and you're in?
It's pretty tough to just generate a strong magnet...
can you add links for the reader and the em lock? I am not able to find the website
worst installation I've ever seen .
Agree
Can I ask why? Want to see if the issues you're seeing are the same as mine.
dean bornman mmmm
Agree
The music over powers the video
Hi, i've just installed this, but the magnetic force is so weak.. what could possibly go wrong?
Мне кажется якорь на дверь высоко установили. При примерке забыли крепёжную планку учесть. Плохо видно. Может быть я не прав.
Yeah, this is a pretty sloppy install job.
Lots of bad tips. Heaps of mistakes shown in the install.
Its should not be outside the door it must be inside the door
This. Installer. Has. No. Wrists.
Proof: 3:14
uruiamnot must be from a another planet
That plate shouldn't be so tight.
Explain the video with tools easy method
Wow a women doing this
The crap background noise got up my nose
Garbage. Any lock is only as good as the way it is mounted and or installed. I small screw is hold the plate on, which means one small kick will handle that.
Uhhhh.....No. To just.....literally all of this.
wwwowowoo ca me fait bouger comme un tabarnak la
Why do these clown only show a half finish video?
Wrong installation ! Is not professional
What a boring noise!
