Increase security to entryways at home or in the office by installing the Enforcer Flush-Mount In-Wall Photoelectric Beam Sensors. Designed to fit into a single-gang box for a flush mount application, these sensors will not only be attractive, they will not stick out from your wall as other similar plug-in modules will. Beam alignment is adjustable up to 15 degrees horizontally or vertically, making installation even easier. A typical application for this product is to set the beam up across an entryway or hallway in your home, office or retail shop. When the beam is broken, the the sensors will turn the red LED lights on and trigger a normally closed, normally open or common relay output on your alarm system or warning device. This product requires a 12VDC Power Supply, sold separately.

Prevent unauthorized visitors from gaining entry to your home or business. This electromagnetic lock (mag-lock) mounts to your point of entry, keeping your door securely closed, with 1200 pounds of holding force, until you release the powerful magnet manually through your hardwired security system. When power is applied to the magnetic lock, it turns on the unit’s powerful built-in electromagnet. The mag-lock is attracted to the steel armature plate, which is mounted on a door, holding the door fast against unauthorized entry. You can also control the Enforcer 1200 Pound Electromagnetic Lock with a standalone RF transmitter and receiver system. A 12VDC power supply is required and sold separately.
