Welcome
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our newsletter.
Our greatest concern has always been customer service, and here we attempt to
keep you informed of our latest products, events, and technical information.
This summer we plan to launch a brand new website, to help you search for documents
and information more efficiently. We've published a CD-ROM containing a complete
library of brochures, manuals, templates, etc. We are introducing
a new line of illuminated pushplates that is sure to spark the next generation
of exit controls.
Thanks for your business.
Sincerely,
John L. Schum

When dealing with access control, it’s important to consider what will happen during a fire or emergency.
DynaLock’s new High Visibility Pushplates utilize electroluminescent (EL) lighted signage to help occupants
find their way in smoke and/or darkness. EL is a true field-source emitter, having greater percieved brightness

Why is my magnetic lock getting so hot?
Electro-magnetic locks get warm, not hot. If you can cook an egg on it, something is wrong. Often this issue is overlooked because the lock appears to be operating normally. If you suspect a magnetic lock is running too hot, we recommend a few simple checks that could prevent future headaches or permanent lock failure.
Most magnetic locks have some method of voltage selection. A unit marked 12 or 24 VDC or VAC may still need to be adjusted to match the power supply output. See manufacturer's instructions to select the lock input voltage to match that of your power supply. Observe polarity if required.
The second thing to check is the wiring feeding the lock. How much does the voltage drop from the power supply to the lock end of the wire? Take voltage measurements at the lock and power supply. The voltage readings should be very close.
If the wire run is very long, the wire gauge may be too small, causing a voltage drop. Refer to our wire size selection charts for more information.
