The LOX EM3500 Series is a high-performance line of single door electromagnetic locks, trusted across Australia for residential, commercial, and institutional security applications. With a holding force of up to 280kg and tested to 1 million operational cycles, the EM3500 Series provides reliable locking strength without mechanical wear and tear.
Available in both monitored (EM3500M) and non-monitored (EM3500) versions, the series offers flexibility based on the installation’s monitoring requirements. The monitored version features advanced status indicators including LSS (Lock Status Sensor), DSS (Door Status Sensor), and a high-visibility LED status light, while the non-monitored version delivers a simple, durable magnetic locking solution.
Built-in varistor surge protection, CE & C-Tick certification, and fire rating up to 4 hours make the EM3500 Series ideal for high-compliance environments.
