  If you notice a reduced holding force in your Securitron lock, verify that the DC power source is Full-Wave Rectified (Half-wave Rectifier or AC Power is unacceptable). Also, check for the specified voltage and current draw at the Magnalock. Furthermore, ensure the strike mounting is properly installed. Finally, inspect the Magnalock and strike for any obstructions and confirm that the contact surfaces are clean.
