Typical single door electromagnetic locks are offered in both 600 lbf (2,700 N) and 1,200 lbf (5,300 N) dynamic holding force capacities. A "fail safe" magnetic lock requires power to remain locked and typically is not suitable for high security applications, because it is possible to disable the lock by disrupting the power supply.

There are two basic types of locks: "preventing mechanism" or operation ...
