DS-1200 series
Electromagnetic locks and kits
A sealed 1,200 lb maglock that installs fast and keeps working. Buy the lock alone, or as a kit with the egress hardware code requires.
The electronics are sealed in epoxy under a steel housing, and the housing, armature and lock face are nickel-plated against rust and corrosion. With no moving parts, there's nothing to wear, stick or bind. Brackets and filler plates fit the lock to most door frames, and a conduit-fitted version protects wiring on exterior gates.

Maglock kits
On an egress door, the lock is only part of the job. Each kit includes the release devices NFPA 101 calls for, so you're not hunting for parts or designing the circuit on site.
| Part number | Door | Mounting | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS-1200 | Out-swinging | Adjustable plate, top of frame | Lock only |
| DS-1200-TJ | In-swinging | Angle plate and armature Z bracket | Lock only |
| DS-1200 Kit | Out-swinging | Adjustable plate, top of frame | Lock, Pushplate 100 PNZ “PUSH TO EXIT”, DS-160 REX motion sensor |
| DS-1200-TJ Kit | In-swinging | Angle plate and Z bracket | Lock, Pushplate 100 PNZ “PUSH TO EXIT”, DS-160 REX motion sensor |
| DS-1200-110 | Out-swinging | Adjustable plate, top of frame | Lock, Pushplate 100 PNZ, DS-160 sensor, H512 power supply |
| DS-1200-TJ-110 | In-swinging | Angle plate and Z bracket | Lock, Pushplate 100 PNZ, DS-160 sensor, H512 power supply |
Backup batteries are optional. A lock held by battery backup may not release on loss of power as some jurisdictions require; check with your fire authority before using it.
What code typically requires
- 01Two ways to release the lock: a request-to-exit motion sensor or switched crash bar, plus a manual button labeled “PUSH TO EXIT”.
- 02The button holds the door unlocked for 30 seconds, independently of the access control system.
- 03The lock releases automatically when the fire alarm activates.
- 04The lock releases on loss of main power.
Codes vary by jurisdiction. Consult your local fire authority.
In-swinging or out-swinging?
Mount the lock on the secure side of the door, where it can't be reached or tampered with. Stand on the secure side (usually inside):
- Out-swinging: you push the door away from you to exit. Use the DS-1200 with its adjustable plate.
- In-swinging: you pull the door toward you to exit. Use the DS-1200-TJ with the angle plate and Z bracket.
Not sure? Send us a photo of the door and we'll tell you which one you need.
Want the egress logic pre-built? The H512 power supply wires the whole maglock circuit on one terminal block.
