LOX EM5700M Monitored Single Electromagnetic Lock – 580kg Holding Force, Dual Voltage, Fire Rated
Overview
The LOX EM5700M is a heavy-duty, monitored single electromagnetic lock built for high-security commercial and industrial access control across Australia. Delivering a formidable 580kg (1,200 lb) holding force and featuring an integrated Hall Effect Lock Status Sensor (LSS), the EM5700M is engineered for perimeter doors, government facilities, data centres, and critical infrastructure where standard maglocks simply aren't enough. Dual 12V/24VDC voltage compatibility and a 4-hour fire rating make it one of the most versatile and compliant electromagnetic locks available in Australia today.
Description
Where security cannot be compromised, the EM5700M delivers. Its slimline anodised aluminium housing conceals a powerful electromagnetic coil capable of resisting nearly double the force of a standard 280kg maglock. The built-in Hall Effect sensor continuously monitors lock engagement, feeding real-time status back to your access control panel — so you know instantly if a door is ajar, forced, or the lock has failed to engage.
Selectable 12VDC or 24VDC operation means the EM5700M integrates cleanly into virtually any existing access control infrastructure without additional power conditioning. The anti-tamper mounting plate conceals all fixings once installed, and the high-visibility red/green LED panel gives security staff and installers immediate visual confirmation of lock status. With a 4-hour fire rating, it meets Australian building code requirements for fire-rated door assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the LOX EM5700M and the EM3500 series?
The EM5700M delivers 580kg of holding force — nearly double the 280kg of the EM3500 series. It also includes built-in Hall Effect LSS monitoring, making it the right choice for high-security or monitored access control applications.
Does the EM5700M come with a mounting plate?
Yes. The EM5700M includes an anti-tamper mounting plate and all necessary fixings for standard surface mounting. Additional Z-brackets or L-brackets may be required depending on your door configuration.
Is the LOX EM5700M fail-safe or fail-secure?
The EM5700M is a fail-safe electromagnetic lock — it releases (unlocks) when power is removed. This is the standard configuration for most commercial and fire-rated door applications in Australia.
What voltage does the EM5700M operate on?
The EM5700M supports both 12VDC and 24VDC operation, selectable via an internal switch. This makes it compatible with the vast majority of access control power supplies used in Australian installations.
Is the EM5700M suitable for fire-rated doors?
Yes. The EM5700M is rated for use on fire door assemblies for up to 4 hours, meeting Australian building code requirements for fire-rated access control hardware.
How does the Hall Effect monitoring work?
The integrated Hall Effect sensor detects whether the armature plate is in contact with the lock body. It outputs a signal to your access control panel confirming the lock is properly engaged — or triggers an alert if the door is ajar or the lock has been forced.
Do you ship the LOX EM5700M Australia-wide?
Yes. We ship to all states and territories across Australia, including metro and regional areas. Contact us for bulk order pricing and project quotes.
