MEM Mechanical Electro Magnetic Locking Devices

FSH are an Australian company at the forefront of design for electric locks, strikes and unique security locking devices. Trevor Mackle is a principal and leading engineer/designer with FSH and was awarded with the People's Choice Award from the ABC television program "The New Inventors", a couple of years ago.

A rather interesting video on their website shows the actual segment that explains how this product differs from mainstream electro magnetic locking devices.

The MEM is actually smaller than other brands but packs significantly better mechanical locking attributes and equal to superior holding force.

Compact enough to fit in a variety of applications, the product is light years ahead in technology and design. It is very user friendly and surpasses many international standards.


Perhaps one of the fundamental differences between this product and many other brands is the low power consumption of the unit. Requiring less power to run the unit means that it could be considered a greener approach to high quality security products. Combine this with their patented locking pin design and you have the first magnetic lock with a mechanical component that exceeds any other brands security force.

The product uses a external long distance visibility panel to indicate the status of the locking device. it includes a built in Door Status Sensor that monitors the door position by magnetic reed switch within the armature plate and magnetic lock body (door open or door closed), providing switching of normally open dry contacts for remote alarm indication.


EARLY WARNING (EW) is a patented and unique alarm feature of the MEM product range. The early warning is triggered on initial pressure being applied to the door, giving a local or remote alarm indication.
