Quick answers about the DS-K4T100-U1, and how it compares.
Magnetic lock or electric bolt: which one is better?
A magnetic lock fixes on the surface of the frame and is the easiest to fit on most doors. An electric bolt sits inside the frame, so it is hidden and harder to tamper with; its bolt drops into a strike plate and resists strong force. Bolts suit glass doors (with the right bracket), doors that swing both ways and narrow frames. Both open when power is cut, which is safe for fire exits. Ask us if you are not sure which fits your door.

How do I choose a magnetic lock?
Pick the holding force by door: 272 kg (600 lb) suits most office, shop and room doors; 500 kg (1,100 lb) is for main entrances, heavy doors and high-security rooms. Double doors need a double door lock or one lock per leaf. A magnetic lock opens when its power is cut, which is safe for fire exits, so give it a reliable power supply with battery backup. Add an exit button inside, and a bracket if the door opens inward or the frame is narrow. Ask us if you are not sure.
