In the security industry, a system is only as reliable as its power source. Altronix is the global leader in power supplies and signal processing for access control and fire alarm systems. Made in the USA, Altronix products like the eFlow and AL-Series are the industry standard for driving magnetic locks, electric strikes, and card readers without failure.
At Lock Depot, we carry the full range of Altronix Access Power Controllers (ACM series), which distribute power to multiple doors while providing essential fire alarm disconnect interfaces. Whether you need a simple 12VDC/24VDC power supply for a single door or a massive multi-output rack-mount system for a campus, Altronix provides the clean, regulated power your electronics require.
Electronic locks (especially Fail-Secure ones) should never be installed without a Battery Backup. Altronix power supplies feature built-in chargers. Always pair your power supply with a 12V/7AH or 12V/12AH lead-acid battery. This ensures your building stays secure even during a power outage, preventing the system from "resetting" or locking people out/in unexpectedly.
Altronix power supplies ship brand new, Made in USA, from our warehouses across America. In before 2 PM EST, out the door same-day.
| Series | Type | Output | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL-Series | Linear Power Supply | 12/24VDC | Single Door / Electric Strikes |
| eFlow Series | Switching Power Supply | 12/24VDC | Multi-Door / Maglocks |
| ACM Series | Access Power Controller | Multi-Output | Campus / Multi-Door Systems |
| SMP Series | Supervised Power Supply | 12/24VDC | Fire Alarm Integration |
For most single-door applications, a 12V/7AH battery provides 4-6 hours of backup. For multi-door systems, step up to 12V/12AH or 12V/18AH depending on your total amp draw.
Many models (like the ACM series) include a built-in fire alarm interface. This automatically cuts power to maglocks when the fire alarm activates, releasing all doors for emergency egress.
Some models are selectable between 12V and 24V, but not simultaneously. If you need both voltages, use two separate power supplies or a dual-voltage ACM controller.
