What Does the "D" Mean: M62 vs M62D

The M62 is the base Magnalock platform. The M62D adds a built-in Door Position Switch sensor inside the maglock body, eliminating the need for a separate door contact or recessed magnetic switch on the same opening. The DPS provides a dry-contact signal to the access control panel reporting open or closed door state, which the panel uses to detect forced-door alarms, door-held-open alerts, and request-to-exit confirmation. Specifying the M62D instead of base M62 plus separate DPS contact saves install labor, reduces wiring, and gives a cleaner door schedule. For openings without an access control panel (or where DPS is wired separately), the base Securitron M62 Series is the right specification.

Where to Specify

The M62D is the right specification for high-traffic interior, perimeter, and exterior access-controlled openings where the access control panel needs DPS feedback for forced-door and door-held alarms. Common applications include data center perimeter doors, healthcare secure-area doors, multi-tenant building lobby and stairwell doors, school and university classroom and corridor doors, government and corporate office secure entries, and outdoor gate access points where weatherproof rating and integrated DPS are both required. The maglock direct-mounts to the door frame; the strike mounts to the door leaf.

Recommended Accessories for the M62 Platform

For frame and door reinforcement on glass, hollow metal, or wood-and-concrete jambs, specify the appropriate bracket from the Securitron Magnalock Brackets and Accessories family. The most common pairings on the M62 platform are the EASB-62 Energy Absorbing Sex Bolt for high-impact doors, the ZA-32/62 adjustable Z-bracket for inswing applications, the CWB-62 concrete and wood bracket for masonry installations, the HEB-3G header extension bracket for glass doors, and the DC-62 or DDC-62 dress covers for finished aesthetic. All M62 series accessories on this site are inter-compatible with the M62D body.
