Can anyone help me I'm trying to release door access mag lock , voltage optimist installed at weekend and the fobs arnt opening some doors and the supply is inside the room I can access.. Can anyone tell me how to open these mag locks or give me reason why some arnt working aand some are.... Could voltage optimiser have caused this..

This sounds like the system has lost it's programming because the systems battery back up has not lasted during the work carried out. First thing to try is turn off the supply to the access control and see if the door opens

Yeah the supply is inside the locked door.. Ty

Short out the supply and trip the protection!! NOT really a safe option, but needs must perhaps. Be safe.

If ti does not work then you are done for, get out the kango!

Aye waiting on phone call from installers or the maintenance of the system who said hit the break glass which Is in opposite side asell

Yeah the supply is inside the locked door.. Ty

So you cannot isolate the supply to the door access equipment from outside the room

Seems like your in a bit off a pickle, as said can't you isolate the supply from the DB or is that in the locked room as well?

 

[stranded]

Bloody hell... Not sure how your gonna go about that... Is the DB in the room?...

Whos the plumber that installed this one then?

It's the city's job centre , the ones for that area are in that room,,,, our boss said leave it to the specialists lol we pull cable and supply power and lighting..

Depending on what make of access control....if its self contained, you maybe able to remove reader and short door open, If you can give more info, may have wiring diagram.
Other way is set the fire alarm off, that should open it

 

[i=p/u]

Yeah we hought of that but fire alarm is playing up aswell , and I'd say all to with installing voltage optimiser . As said at beginning needs reprogrammed maybe

 

[tazz]

Not having much luck are you....if you have ant info on fire panel and access system, should be able to bypass the fire relay

 

[UNG]

If all else fails you could use some universal keys take your pick from a circular saw or sledge hammer

Switch it into bypass so it is eliminated and see what happens or is that in the locked room your trying to get into?

is it designed to open on powerfail or lock?

the reason i ask is areas in pathology builidings are designed to fail lock.

if so, check to see if its stud walls etc.

usually the doors are heavy duty but wall next to it is weak.


the other way to get past is to rip the top bit of the door frame off then you should be able to pull/cut cable (yy- one that looks like flex)

if it is recessed e.g. sherlocks then break through studwall and trip breakglass etc
