Electric locks and locking

An access system is only truly complete when combined with a reliable electric lock or solid locking module – the physical end point of every access solution. At UMATECH you'll find a carefully selected range of electric locks for almost any application: interior and exterior doors, cabinets, lockers and gates.

Our range runs from compact standard electric strikes to powerful electromagnetic locks and specialised cabinet and bolt locks. Every product is selected and tested for durability, reliability and ease of use, so you can count on a long service life and trouble-free operation – even with intensive daily use.

Our collection includes:

Electric strikes

Compact, versatile solutions for doors with latch or deadbolt. Available in adjustable versions and as fail-safe (unlocked on power loss) or fail-secure (locked on power loss), so they suit a wide range of security and emergency situations.

Electromagnetic locks (maglocks)

Very strong magnetic locks with holding forces up to 600 kg. Suitable for glass, wooden and metal doors and available with extra functions such as time delay, status contacts (door open/closed) or door holder function. Ideal for heavily used doorways and for applications where concealed mounting is wanted.

Automatic door operators

For controlled, comfortable opening and closing of doors via push button, badge, intercom or automatic detection. They combine safety with convenience for private and commercial settings.

Bolt and cabinet locks

Small but powerful 12 V locks for specific uses such as mailboxes, server racks, lockers, display cases or technical cabinets – perfect when compact size and reliable locking are essential.

Electromagnetic door holders & fail-safe solutions

Designed for fire doors and escape routes. Doors can stay open normally but close automatically in case of fire or power failure, in line with applicable safety standards.

Easy integration and fast installation

All locks are easily controlled via a relay, Wiegand controller or directly from an intercom, keypad or access controller. Universal mounting holes, supplied brackets and clear instructions mean most systems are installed quickly – often within 30 minutes.

Unsure about the right version, such as fail-safe or fail-secure, or looking for a fire-rated or standards-compliant model? Our team is happy to help you choose.

Order before 17:00 and, if in stock, we ship the same day – so you'll often have solid, professional electric locking the next working day.

Frequently asked questions about electric locks

What's the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure?

A fail-safe lock unlocks automatically on power loss and is often used on escape routes. A fail-secure lock stays locked on power loss and suits situations where security comes first.

When should I choose an electromagnetic lock?

An electromagnetic lock is ideal for heavily used doors and passages that need high holding force and fast release. They're widely used in offices, care facilities and public buildings.

Are electric locks suitable for existing doors?

Yes, most electric locks and strikes are designed for easy fitting to existing wooden, metal or glass doors, often without major modifications.

Can an electric lock be connected to an intercom or access control?

Yes. Electric locks can be controlled by intercoms, keypads, badges, Wiegand controllers or other access control systems, giving you a flexible and scalable solution.

Which electric lock suits cabinets and lockers?

For cabinets, lockers and technical rooms, compact 12 V bolt and cabinet locks are ideal: they take up little space yet lock reliably.
