Locknetics
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Locknetics?
Locknetics is a long-standing electrified access control brand. It is best known for electromagnetic locks and access hardware.
What products does Locknetics make?
Locknetics's product range includes electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and keypad access controls.
Are Locknetics products fail-safe or fail-secure?
Locknetics electrified hardware is offered in both modes. Fail-safe unlocks when power is lost, which suits openings that need free egress or fire release; fail-secure stays locked on power loss, which suits perimeter security. The right choice depends on the opening's egress and security needs and the local fire code.
Where is Locknetics hardware typically used?
Locknetics hardware is specified for access-controlled and electrically secured commercial openings.
Is Locknetics hardware commercial grade and code compliant?
Yes. Locknetics manufactures to commercial standards and tests its products to the applicable ANSI/BHMA A156.31 for electric strikes and A156.23 for electromagnetic locks. For most commercial and institutional openings, specify Grade 1 where the product line offers it, and confirm any fire-rating or ADA listings the opening requires.
Will Locknetics hardware work with my existing access control system?
Yes. Locknetics devices run on standard low-voltage power (typically 12 or 24 VDC) and integrate with most access control panels, readers, and credentials. Match the voltage, current draw, and fail-safe or fail-secure mode to your system and power supply when specifying.
