INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

For Model M38 and M68 Magnalocks 

(Versions “L”, “S” and “LS” with “D” and “T” Options) 

 

1.

 

INTRODUCTION 

Securitron’s Model M38 and M68 Magnalocks are fail safe electromagnetic locks designed for 
*interior use in areas which require controlled access or egress.  Each unit includes an 
interlocking mounting bracket and a power and control wiring access compartment which 
provides the added convenience of wiring “at-the-lock”.  The sleek, low-profile design provides a 

professional looking, unobtrusive integration into a wide range of architectural applications and 
can be easily retrofitted to replace existing magnetic lock systems. 
 
M38 and M68 Magnalocks are not designed, recommended or approved for exterior (outdoor) 
use. Interior use is described as any door installation to the interior of a building (i.e. offices, 

work or storage rooms) or to the interior side of any perimeter exterior door.
