Smart lock alternative (Thought) (electric strike)

JD as always has it right, but since nobody specifically said anything yay or nay on the mag lock…

In case of a fire how would you disable the lock? It would need to be fail safe (which if memory serves are most of the mag options available) for fire safety, which would also mean if the power went out your door would be unlocked, is that acceptable?

I would highly recommend not using a mag lock.

There are many retrofit electric strikes that can be used like the posted link they could be set to the favored fail secure (locked when no power) for code/safety (typically, you still should to check local codes to be sure).

But depending on your use case it may be easier/cleaner to use a zwave deadbolt.
