eSSL EML600D-8-2 — 600 kg Electromagnetic Door Lock (Double-Door)

Description

A Madurai temple-jewellery showroom is fitting maglocks on the strongroom door and the cash counter pass-through, and both doors need different holding force grades — heavy for the strongroom, mid-range for the cash counter. The maglocks have to integrate into one access controller the owner can manage from a single keypad. The eSSL EML600D-8-2 is built for exactly this kind of mid-to-high security double-door installation. 600 kg of holding force per leaf, double-door (dual-leaf) configuration, 12V / 24V DC operation, fail-safe by design — releases the instant power is cut so the door never traps anyone behind it.

Why integrators specify the eSSL EML600D-8-2

The eSSL EML600D-8-2 is the electromagnetic lock integrators reach for when an Indian retail, BFSI or commercial site needs a double-door (dual-leaf) door lock with documented holding force and clean access control integration. 600 kg per leaf is the brief, and the eSSL EML600D-8-2 delivers it on a surface-mount housing that fits standard door-and-frame geometry across wood, aluminium and metal-clad doors. The eSSL EML600D-8-2 pairs cleanly with the access controller already on site — compatible with all eSSL controllers and third-party access panels, the relay-driven lock output drops both magnets in unison, the door opens, the magnets re-engage on close. No protocol conversion, no firmware hack, no late-night call to the integrator over wiring drift.

For specifiers, the eSSL EML600D-8-2 is a known-quantity maglock — the kind of EM lock that ships with the access control bill of materials and never becomes the line item the project manager has to apologise for. Holding force is rated at 600 kg per leaf, and the fail-safe behaviour is the standard Indian fire-safety expectation: power cut, door released, no ambiguity. That is the line every facilities lead, every fire officer and every insurance auditor asks about first.

Holding force & mechanical build

Holding force on the eSSL EML600D-8-2 is rated at 600 kg per leaf, which is the number that goes on the access control submittal sheet and the number the insurance auditor cross-checks. The eSSL EML600D-8-2 runs on 12V / 24V DC, drawing typical surface-mount EM lock current — comfortably inside the budget of a standard 12V DC access control power supply with battery backup. Durable anodised housing resists the daily knocks of a high-traffic door and is the housing finish integrators specify for Indian commercial deployments where humidity, dust and the occasional monsoon damp matter.

The eSSL EML600D-8-2 is a surface-mount electromagnetic lock — the armature plate fixes to each door leaf, the magnet body fixes to the frame, and the door pulls into the magnet face on close. No mortising, no door cut-outs, no irreversible damage to the door slab. For a double-door (dual-leaf) installation, a single unit secures both leaves of the double door — one armature per leaf, one magnet body per leaf, and a single relay drive from the access controller drops both magnets in unison on a valid release signal.

Door compatibility

The eSSL EML600D-8-2 is a double-door (dual-leaf) electromagnetic lock — designed for double-leaf (dual-leaf) door installations where both leaves of the door need to hold together as one. The eSSL EML600D-8-2 mounts to wood doors, aluminium-framed glass doors and metal-clad doors with the standard surface-mount bracket geometry. For glass doors and frameless glass installations, a U-bracket or L-bracket accessory (sold separately) gives the armature a clean fixing surface without through-bolting the glass.

Frame compatibility is the usual story for an EM lock: the magnet body wants a flat fixing surface on the frame head, with each armature falling directly under its magnet on the door leaf. The eSSL EML600D-8-2 is forgiving of small misalignments — a few millimetres either way and the door still pulls in cleanly to the magnet face. For Indian door frames that are not always machine-perfect, that tolerance matters. Mounting hardware ships with the maglock; brackets for glass and inward-opening doors are the add-on most integrators pre-order alongside the eSSL EML600D-8-2.

Access control integration

The eSSL EML600D-8-2 wires into any standard access controller’s lock output relay — compatible with all eSSL controllers and third-party access panels, the kind of relay every Wiegand and IP access controller in the eSSL, ZKTeco, BioMax, Matrix, Honeywell and TimeWatch range carries on its lock output. The integration is dry-contact simple: the controller pulls the relay, the relay drops 12V DC (or 24V DC) to the eSSL EML600D-8-2, both magnets release together, the door opens. On close, the controller re-energises the line and both magnets re-engage. NO/NC configuration is the standard fail-safe wiring — Normally Open contact, energised to lock, de-energised to release — which is the configuration every Indian fire-safety code expects on an electromagnetic door lock.

Fail-safe is the non-negotiable behaviour. The eSSL EML600D-8-2 releases on power loss, every time. That is fire-safety code compliant — the access control system can fail, the controller can crash, the building’s power can drop, and the door is open. No code violation, no trapped occupant. Door status feedback is not wired on this non-sensor variant — if the access control system needs door-open/closed monitoring on the strongroom door, a separate door contact (a magnetic reed sensor) wires into the controller alongside the eSSL EML600D-8-2.

What buyers usually ask before ordering

What holding force do I need for my door?
For interior office doors and meeting room doors, 270 kg (600 lbs) is the standard specification. For main entry doors, server rooms, strongrooms and high-security doors, 545 kg (1200 lbs) is the brief. The eSSL EML600D-8-2 is rated at 600 kg per leaf, which puts it at the high-security end of the EM lock range — match the holding force to the door’s threat model, and add a 25 percent margin for the daily lean of high-traffic users.

Is the lock fail-safe — does it release on power loss?
Yes. The eSSL EML600D-8-2 is fail-safe by design — power cut, magnets released, door open. That is the standard Indian fire-safety expectation for an electromagnetic door lock, and it is the wiring configuration the eSSL EML600D-8-2 ships ready for. If the access controller crashes, the building loses power, or the access control PSU fails, the door is open. No trapped occupants, no fire code violation.

Will it work with our existing access controller (Wiegand / dry contact)?
Yes — the eSSL EML600D-8-2 is driven by a dry-contact relay output on the access controller, which is what every standard Wiegand-and-IP access controller in the eSSL, ZKTeco, BioMax, Matrix and TimeWatch range provides on the lock output. No protocol conversion, no interface board. Wire the controller’s lock relay to the eSSL EML600D-8-2’s 12V DC input, and the maglock responds to every valid access decision.

What’s in the box — bracket included?
The eSSL EML600D-8-2 ships with both magnet bodies, both armature plates and the standard surface-mount hardware. For glass doors, frameless glass installations and inward-opening doors, specialist U-brackets, L-brackets and Z-brackets are sold separately — tell us your door type when ordering and we ship the right bracket alongside the eSSL EML600D-8-2.

Can it be used on glass / wood / metal doors?
Yes to all three. The eSSL EML600D-8-2 mounts to wood doors and metal-clad doors directly with the standard armature bracket. For glass doors (framed and frameless), a U-bracket or L-bracket accessory gives the armature a clean fixing point without through-bolting the glass — and that is the standard Indian commercial fit-out for the eSSL EML600D-8-2 on glass double doors and reception doors.
