Best For: Commercial offices, controlled staff entrances, secure internal doors and access control systems requiring a strong 580kg fail-safe magnetic lock without monitoring outputs.
FSH FEM5700 Standard Single Magnetic Door Lock – Non-Monitored, 580kg, 12/24V DC
The FSH FEM5700 is a standard single electromagnetic door lock designed for commercial access control installations requiring strong and reliable fail-safe locking. It provides a holding strength of up to 580kg and supports field-selectable 12V or 24V DC operation.
This non-monitored magnetic lock operates in Power To Lock mode and releases when electrical power is removed. It is suitable for compatible access control systems, intercoms, card readers, keypads and door controllers where lock or door status monitoring is not required.

Strong 580kg Magnetic Holding Force
With a holding strength of up to 580kg, the FEM5700 is suitable for commercial doors requiring a higher level of electromagnetic locking than a standard slimline magnetic lock can provide.
The full-sized magnetic lock and armature plate provide a strong connection when correctly installed and aligned, helping secure controlled entrances in offices, commercial buildings and restricted staff areas.
Non-Monitored Configuration
The FSH FEM5700 is the non-monitored single-door model in the FEM5700 Series. It does not include:
- Lock Status Sensor (LSS)
- Door Status Sensor (DSS)
- Long-distance Light Panel (LP)
- Remote lock or door status outputs
Where these monitoring functions are required, the corresponding monitored model is the FSH FEM5700M.
Fail-Safe Magnetic Locking
The FEM5700 operates in fail-safe or Power To Lock mode. Electrical power is applied to secure the door, and the magnetic lock releases when power is removed.
This operation allows the lock to be integrated with compatible emergency exit devices, break-glass units, access control panels and fire-alarm interfaces. Emergency egress requirements must be considered when designing the complete locking system.
Dual-Voltage 12/24V DC Operation
Field-selectable 12V or 24V DC operation provides flexibility when connecting the FEM5700 to commercial access control power supplies.
-
12V DC: approximately 500mA
-
24V DC: approximately 260mA
The power supply should be sized to accommodate the magnetic lock, access control panel and any other devices connected to the system.
No Residual Magnetism
The FEM5700 is designed to release without residual magnetism after power is removed. This helps prevent unnecessary resistance when the door is opened following an authorised access request, emergency release or power interruption.

Ideal Applications
- Commercial office entrances
- Controlled staff doors
- Restricted internal areas
- Retail and administration buildings
- Education and healthcare facilities
- Apartment and shared-building entrances
- Access control systems not requiring monitoring outputs
Optional Anti-Tamper Protection
The non-monitored FEM5700 is not supplied with an anti-tamper plate as standard. Where additional protection for the armature plate fixing is required, a compatible FEM5700SEC retrofit Anti-Tamper Security Plate may be considered.
Compatibility and availability should be confirmed before ordering.
Fire-Rated Door Applications
The FEM5700 has been fire tested for up to four hours to applicable Australian and British fire test standards. Suitability depends on the complete doorset, mounting arrangement and fire-door manufacturer requirements.
Approval must be confirmed before installing the magnetic lock on a fire-rated door.
Installation Note
The FSH FEM5700 should be installed by a qualified security or access control technician. Door alignment, mounting brackets, power supply capacity, cable protection, emergency release devices and fire-alarm integration must be considered during system design.
An appropriate L&Z bracket may be required where the door and frame configuration does not support standard direct mounting.
