These magnets are extremely cost efficient and can be easily removed just like standard lock. This is the main reasons for not recommending magnetic locks when it comes to securing of the home or the office.

This system is called a multifunctional electronic lock, which gives many options depending on how the strike will be installed. The effectiveness of the electric door strikes is highly dependent on its pairing.
