Power outages have a direct impact on your access control and electricity reliant security solutions. This is especially important for doors secured using Maglocks. When Maglocks fail due to a power outage they lose the holding force keeping the door in the secure position, leaving the doorset unsecured and vulnerable to security breaches.

The Stirling access control single-point locking solution from Surelock McGill eradicates the risk of an unsecured door due to power outages.

Using ‘Fail Secure’ technology the Stirling is held in the secure position without power, whilst a Maglock works in the opposite way leaving it vulnerable to security breaches when the power is off. In the Fail Secure mode, the Stirling maintains the same level of resistance against methods of forced entry attacks, guaranteeing the security of your door will not be compromised due to power outages.

Furthermore, personnel can easily leave the site even though the power has failed. In addition to this, override is also possible from the outside of the site via key and cylinder for trusted personnel to access in the event of a power outage.
