Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the working mode of this DC 12V electromagnetic lock?
A: This electromagnetic lock operates on a power-on-to-unlock, power-off-to-lock principle. When DC 12V power is applied, the latch retracts (unlocked state). When power is cut, the latch extends back into the locked position — making it a fail-secure lock ideal for cabinets and drawers.
Q: What types of cabinets and drawers is this electric lock compatible with?
A: This compact electric lock is compatible with a wide range of applications including wooden and metal drawers, filing cabinets, display cases, safes, electronic enclosures, and small door panels. Its compact 90 × 37 × 28 mm body and 10 mm latch extension make it suitable for tight spaces.
Q: How do I avoid damaging the electromagnetic lock during use?
A: To prevent overheating and potential damage, always keep the unlocking duration within 0–5 seconds. Avoid activating the lock too frequently in rapid succession, as sustained unlocking can cause the internal coil to heat up, which may shorten the lock's operational life.
Q: Does this lock come with installation hardware or a power supply?
A: The package includes 1 × DC 12V electromagnetic lock (Model LY-03). A compatible DC 12V power source and any mounting hardware are not included and will need to be sourced separately based on your specific installation requirements.
