Regularly wipe down maglocks to prolong performance
Maglocks need maintenance!
Regularly cleaning the surface of an electro-magnetic lock will help to improve its durability.
The air around us is made up of tiny particles. Some of those particles are made of magnetic or metallic elements. Particularly in industrial environments, the surface of a maglock can accumulate these particles over time. If a maglock is not regularly wiped down, metallic particles settling on the surface can affect the performance of the lock.
