What component of a magnetic lock mounts on the door?

The armature is the component of a magnetic lock that mounts on the door. In the operation of a magnetic lock, the electromagnet, which is typically mounted on the frame of the door, creates a strong magnetic field when energized. The armature is positioned on the door itself and is attracted to the electromagnet when the lock system is engaged. This attraction secures the door in a closed position.

The armature plays a critical role in the functionality of the magnetic lock, providing the necessary magnetic interaction to ensure that the door remains securely shut when locked. Unlike the power supply and control panel, which are essential for the operation of the lock but do not physically attach to the door, the armature is specifically designed to engage with the electromagnet on the opposite side of the door frame.
