Models with color-changing indicator LEDs and IR sensors are high in supply.

The latest electromagnetic locks from China show working or door status. Many products use LED lights that change color depending on whether the door is open or locked.

Other electromagnetic locks integrate sensors to know if there are people passing through or wanting to gain access. Among the common technologies adopted is IR sensing.

As regards strength, China-made electromagnetic locks fare well. A number of releases featured in this gallery have a 280kg holding force. There are a few locks capable of handling even 300 to 500kg.

Products also come in durable housings. Makers are offering designs that are IP-rated for water resistance, do not accumulate dust or prevent residual magnetism.

The products in this gallery were selected by our China-based Market Analyst for representing trends in electromagnetic locks.
