Description
LOX EM5700D Double Door Magnetic Lock – 1200kg Holding Force
Overview
The LOX EM5700D is a heavy-duty electromagnetic lock engineered for double door applications where maximum security and fire compliance are essential. Delivering a combined 1200kg (600kg per leaf) holding force, it is trusted by security installers and facilities managers across Australia for high-traffic commercial and institutional environments.
Key Features
-
1200kg Total Holding Force – 600kg per magnet provides exceptional resistance against forced entry on double door sets.
-
4-Hour Fire Rating – Certified for use on fire door assemblies to Australian Standards, suitable for compliant exit paths.
-
Zero Residual Magnetism – Immediate door release on power-off; no sticking or delayed egress.
-
Dual Voltage Operation – Intelligent circuitry accepts 12VDC or 24VDC for straightforward integration with existing access control systems.
-
Lifetime Warranty – Manufacturer-backed for long-term reliability in demanding installations.
-
RCM & CE Certified – Compliant with Australian regulatory requirements.
-
Zinc-Plated Finish – High-quality corrosion resistance for indoor and semi-exposed environments.
-
Non-Monitored Model – Straightforward fail-safe operation; see the EM5700DM for monitored (LSS/DSS) functionality.
Use Cases
- Commercial office lobbies with heavy double-glass or timber doors
- Warehouses and distribution centres requiring perimeter security
- Government buildings, correctional facilities, and secure zones
- Fire-rated exit doors on compliant egress paths
- Schools, hospitals, and aged care facilities with high-traffic double doors

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EM5700D suitable for fire-rated exit doors?
Yes. The EM5700D carries a 4-hour fire rating to Australian Standards, making it compliant for use on fire door assemblies and designated egress paths.
What is the difference between the EM5700D and the EM5700DM?
The EM5700D is a non-monitored model providing straightforward fail-safe locking. The EM5700DM adds Lock Status Sensing (LSS) and Door Status Sensing (DSS) for remote monitoring and security alerts via your access control system.
Can I use this lock with my existing 12V access control power supply?
Yes. The EM5700D operates on both 12VDC and 24VDC, drawing 500mA per magnet at 12V or 250mA per magnet at 24V. Confirm your power supply can deliver sufficient current for both magnets simultaneously.
Does the lock hold if power is lost?
No. The EM5700D is a fail-safe (fail-open) device — it releases when power is removed, which is the required behaviour for fire egress compliance. For fail-secure applications, a different locking mechanism is required.
What brackets are compatible with the EM5700D?
LOX offers a range of mounting brackets for various door configurations including Z-brackets, L-brackets, and armature plates. Refer to the LOX Accessories Guide above or contact us for installation-specific advice.
Installer Note: This is a non-monitored model. If your project requires Lock Status Sensing (LSS) or Door Status Sensing (DSS) for remote security alerts, please refer to the LOX EM5700DM (Monitored) variant.
