Operation

A shear lock is designed to rely on the shear strength of steel for
holding force. A strong magnet is energized that attracts an
armature which overcomes an air gap to engage with the
magnet. The magnet and the armature, besides being bonded by
magnetic force, are also designed to mechanically interlock. This
gives the system 3000 pounds of holding force. Because of this
design, precise door and frame preparation is necessary. Also
important is that the centerlines of the magnet and armature line
up to form a vertical axis. It is also critical that the air gap be
adjusted to be as close as possible without interfering with door
operation. This ensures the best reliability possible.
