Electric Strikes and Magnetic Locks

Electric strikes and electromagnetic locks are different hardware types. Check the specific model documentation instead of treating the names as interchangeable.

The HES 5000 is an electric strike for latchbolts, with a keeper locking design and selectable fail-safe or fail-secure operation. ASSA ABLOY describes its 281 Series as a direct-pull electromagnetic lock that releases when power is removed.

Those are model-specific examples, not a compatibility or compliance decision for your opening. Confirm the exact model, power requirements and required operation for the job before selecting hardware.
