Talk:Magnetic lock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great article, but most maglocks have mechanisms in them that allow them to be fail-safe (locking system fails in the event of power disruption), or fail-secure (locking system stays active in the event of power disruption, until it it disengaged).

[edit] non-electrical

There is a type of lock that opens by simply holding a special piece of metal that comes with the lock. I guess these kind of locks have a magnetic mechanism, but they don't need any source of electrical power as the locks currently explained in this article do. --Abdull 16:16, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
