    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_lock

    The principle behind an electromagnetic lock is the use of electromagnetism to lock a door when energized. The holding force should be collinear with the load, and the lock and armature plate should be face-to-face to achieve optimal operation. The magnetic lock relies upon some of the basic concepts of electromagnetism.
