Why is my Securitron lock's holding force reduced?

  Kristy SanchezAug 9, 2025
  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.

  If the BondSTAT on your Securitron lock isn't reporting a secure status, begin by checking for the specified voltage and current draw at the Magnalock. Next, ensure the strike mounting is aligned correctly and pivots properly for closure to the Magnalock. Lastly, inspect the Magnalock and strike for any obstructions and ensure the contact surfaces are clean.

  If your Securitron Magnalock fails to release, first ensure that no voltage is present at the Magnalock and that it is not drawing current. Check if the strike is sticky or hard to release. Also, inspect the Magnalock and strike for obstructions, and ensure that the contact surfaces are properly cleaned.
