BEA 1200 lb Weather-Resistant Electromagnetic Gate Locks deliver commercial-grade magnetic locking for compatible outdoor gates, access-controlled fenced entrances, industrial sites and exterior door applications. Select the 10GL1200R front-mount configuration for appropriate sliding gate installations or 10GL1200SR side-mount for suitable swinging gate and side-mounted applications. The selected mounting design affects alignment and installation geometry.

Features and Technical Specifications

• Advertised holding force: 1,200 lb rated magnetic holding-force class, according to the selected gate maglock model.
• Weather-resistant construction: Durable stainless-steel housing intended for demanding exterior commercial gate and door applications.
• Environmental protection: Manufacturer-listed NEMA 4 / IP65 weather resistance, subject to the proper conduit, gland and mounting installation.
• Operating power: Selectable 12 or 24VDC for properly engineered low-voltage gate-access control systems.
• Lock status monitoring: Integrated magnetic lock-status sensor for compatible supervised controllers.
• Surge protection: Designed for industrial gate applications exposed to difficult field electrical environments.
• Conduit: Manufacturer-listed 3/4-inch fitting on the standard family where indicated by factory documents.
• Mounting selection: Front mount and side mount are different physical arrangements; determine the right option by gate design, not by finish.

Which Mounting Configuration?

• 10GL1200R Front Mount: Standard 1200 lb weather-resistant magnetic gate lock with front mounting, often used for compatible sliding gates and aligned gate/post interfaces.
• 10GL1200SR Side Mount: Side-mounting 1200 lb weather-resistant magnetic gate lock for appropriately prepared gates, exterior doors and swing-gate installations where mounting from the side is required.

Typical Commercial Applications

Gated commercial vehicle entrances, warehouse perimeter gates, industrial facilities, logistics yards, secured maintenance compounds, institutional gates and exterior access points where a listed outdoor magnetic gate lock is permitted.

Installer Checklist

1. Determine whether the gate opens by sliding or swinging, and confirm the correct front- or side-mount geometry.
2. Inspect post and gate materials, available mounting faces, reinforcement, permitted misalignment and expected gate movement during wind or traffic.
3. Confirm lock and armature alignment and the gate's required manual release and emergency access arrangements.
4. Specify the correct 12/24VDC power supply, cable routing, seal glands and protective conduit for outdoor service.
5. Connect lock-status monitoring to the approved gate controller or access-control equipment if supervision is required.
6. Test closure, magnetic bond, expected gate movement, control-system release and emergency access throughout the actual operating range.

Ordering note: The selected lock is an electromagnetic gate-lock component, not a complete gate operator, access controller, gate armature mounting fabrication package or traffic safety system. Match the SKU to the physical gate and weather-exposure requirements. Existing store-recorded packed shipping weights vary by model and should be confirmed before generating carrier labels.
