Description
LOX EM4700 IP67 Weatherproof Magnetic Gate Lock – 380kg Holding Force
Overview
The LOX EM4700 is a heavy-duty electromagnetic gate lock built for demanding outdoor environments where a standard mag lock simply won’t cut it. Housed in fully enclosed 304-grade stainless steel and rated IP67, it delivers a robust 380kg holding force — nearly double that of entry-level gate locks — with built-in lock status monitoring and surge protection. It is the industry-standard choice for high-exposure Australian sites including coastal perimeters, industrial gates, and high-security access points.
Key Features
-
380kg Holding Force – Heavy-duty security for high-traffic or high-risk gate applications where maximum resistance to forced entry is required.
-
IP67 Weatherproof Rating – Fully sealed against dust and water immersion; proven in surf lifesaving clubs, coastal sites, and tropical environments across Australia.
-
304-Grade Stainless Steel Housing – Fully enclosed corrosion-resistant construction for long-term performance in salt air, humidity, and harsh outdoor conditions.
-
Lock Status Monitoring (LSS) – Built-in Hall Effect Sensor provides real-time lock status feedback to your access control system.
-
Built-In Surge Protection – Protects the lock and connected access control equipment from voltage spikes.
-
Zero Residual Magnetism – Instant, clean gate release on power-off; no sticking or delayed egress.
-
Dual Voltage Operation – Accepts 12VDC or 24VDC for flexible integration with existing access control infrastructure.
-
Dual Fixing Arrangement – Supports both front and header mounting to suit a wide range of gate configurations.
-
Lifetime Warranty – Manufacturer-backed for long-term confidence in demanding outdoor installations.
Use Cases
- Coastal perimeter gates at surf lifesaving clubs, marinas, and beachfront facilities
- Industrial and commercial site entry gates requiring high holding force
- School, childcare, and aged care facility gates with monitored access control
- Residential estate and apartment complex perimeter gates
- Car parks, loading docks, and service yard entry points
- Any high-exposure outdoor gate where IP67 protection and 380kg security are required

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the EM4700 compare to the EM4500?
Both are IP67-rated stainless steel gate locks, but the EM4700 offers 380kg holding force versus the EM4500’s 200kg, and adds a Hall Effect LSS sensor and built-in surge protection. The EM4700 is the preferred choice for higher-security or higher-traffic gate applications.
Is the EM4700 suitable for coastal and marine environments?
Yes. The fully enclosed 304-grade stainless steel housing and IP67 rating make it one of the most corrosion-resistant electromagnetic locks available. It is widely used at surf lifesaving clubs, marinas, and beachfront facilities across Australia.
What does IP67 mean in practice?
IP67 means the lock is fully protected against dust ingress (6) and can withstand temporary water immersion up to 1 metre for 30 minutes (7). This makes it suitable for gates subject to heavy rain, hose-down cleaning, or occasional flooding.
What bracket do I need for an inward-opening gate?
For inward-opening gates, the LOX AMZB4-LP L & Z Bracket is recommended for correct armature plate alignment and a professional finish. Refer to the LOX Accessories Guide above for the full range of compatible brackets.
Does the EM4700 provide lock status monitoring?
Yes. The EM4700 includes a built-in Hall Effect Sensor that outputs a Lock Status Sensing (LSS) signal to your access control panel, providing real-time confirmation of whether the lock is energised and secured.
Is this lock fail-safe or fail-secure?
The EM4700 is a fail-safe (fail-open) device — it releases when power is removed. This is the standard and required behaviour for fire egress compliance on designated exit paths. For fail-secure applications, a different locking mechanism is required.
What power supply do I need?
The EM4700 operates on 12VDC (400mA) or 24VDC (200mA). For outdoor installations, use a weatherproof power supply enclosure rated for continuous outdoor use. Ensure your supply can deliver sufficient current for the lock plus any other devices on the same circuit.
Installer Note: For inward-opening gates, pair the EM4700 with the LOX AMZB4-LP L & Z Bracket for correct alignment and a professional finish. Always use a weatherproof power supply enclosure for fully exposed outdoor installations.
