The HySecurity MX3009 is a magnetic lock assembly used on select HySecurity / Nice HySecurity StrongArm M30 and StrongArm M50 crash barrier applications. This assembly is designed to help secure the barrier arm at the catch post when the barrier is in the closed position.
Unlike a standard pedestrian door mag lock, the MX3009 is a HySecurity crash barrier accessory designed around the StrongArm M30/M50 barrier arm, upper catch pin, strike plate, catch post, and Smart Touch Controller wiring. It should be ordered only when the operator documentation or parts diagram confirms MX3009 for the specific installation.
The magnetic lock assembly holds the StrongArm crash barrier arm in the closed position by pairing a magnet assembly at the catch post with a strike assembly attached near the upper catch pin area. When properly installed, the lock helps the barrier remain seated and secured while still allowing controlled release through the operator control system.
For correct operation, the magnet and strike must be aligned, the bumper compression must be set correctly, and the Smart Touch Controller relay logic must be configured for the gate lock output. Poor alignment, incorrect wiring, or an improperly configured relay can make the lock appear defective even when the lock hardware is still serviceable.
This part may be used with the following applications where the current HySecurity parts diagram and installation documentation confirm fitment:
Important: Do not assume this part fits every HySecurity barrier arm, StrongArmPark, StrongArm DOT, or unrelated mag lock installation. MX3009 is tied to the StrongArm M30/M50 crash barrier configuration and should be verified by model, serial number, and parts diagram.
Magnetic locks and barrier lock kits can look similar, but the mounting hardware, strike plate, controller wiring, arm/catch post geometry, and intended operator family may be different. A standard access control mag lock is not a direct substitute for this StrongArm M30/M50 assembly.
| Part / Assembly | Common Use | Interchangeability Note |
|---|---|---|
| MX3009 | Magnetic lock assembly for StrongArm M30/M50 crash barrier applications | Correct part where MX3009 is specified by HySecurity documentation |
| Standard access control magnetic lock | Pedestrian doors, gates, or access control openings | Not a direct substitute for the StrongArm M30/M50 catch post and upper arm hardware |
| Other HySecurity lock kits | Different HySecurity operator families or lock configurations | Not interchangeable unless the current parts diagram confirms the same part number |
The MX3009 magnetic lock assembly is designed around the StrongArm M30/M50 crash barrier arm and catch post layout. The strike plate, upper catch pin clamp, magnet height, bumper compression, and wiring must all be correct for the lock to hold and release properly.
If the barrier has been modified, repaired after impact, or fitted with non-original catch post hardware, verify the complete lock mounting area before ordering. A bent catch post, worn bumper, damaged upper catch pin, loose strike plate, or incorrect relay setup can cause lock issues that may not be corrected by replacing the magnetic lock alone.

Before replacing the MX3009, inspect the physical alignment first. The strike should sit squarely on the magnet after the bumper compresses. If the catch post is bent, the arm is not seating fully, the bumper is damaged, or the upper catch pin hardware is loose, the magnetic lock may not hold consistently.
Also check the electrical side. A failed power supply output, incorrect user relay setup, loose crimp connection, damaged wire through the pivot post, or incorrect Smart Touch Controller relay logic can make the mag lock act like it has failed. Do not bypass the lock output or force the barrier to operate against a misaligned lock.
The MX3009 is used on crash-rated barrier equipment where safe movement, proper lock release, and correct controller operation are critical. Service should be performed by a qualified gate technician if the issue involves Smart Touch Controller wiring, 24VDC power supply diagnosis, relay configuration, catch post alignment, arm impact damage, or unknown prior modifications.
Do not bypass the magnetic lock, safety devices, entrapment protection, controller outputs, limit functions, or access-control interlocks to keep the barrier running. If the barrier arm is not seating correctly or the lock is not releasing properly, the system should be inspected before continued operation.
Yes. The HySecurity MX3009 is a magnetic lock assembly commonly used with select StrongArm M30 and StrongArm M50 crash barrier applications where the parts diagram confirms fitment.
No. MX3009 is a HySecurity StrongArm M30/M50 barrier mag lock assembly. It is designed around the catch post, upper catch pin, strike hardware, and controller wiring used on those crash barrier systems.
The kit is commonly described as including the magnet assembly for the post and the strike assembly for the upper arm area. Package contents can change, so the required hardware should be confirmed before ordering.
HySecurity installation documentation shows the mag lock connected to the Smart Touch Controller and 24VDC power supply. Always verify the current wiring diagram and operator configuration before servicing the lock.
A weak or inconsistent hold can be caused by poor magnet and strike alignment, a worn bumper, bent catch post, loose upper catch pin hardware, low power, wiring problems, or incorrect relay logic.
Do not assume MX3009 fits a StrongArmPark operator. This part should only be used on StrongArm M30/M50 applications where the HySecurity parts diagram lists MX3009.
No. The magnetic lock, safety devices, controller outputs, limits, and access-control interlocks should not be bypassed. If the lock is not releasing or the barrier is unsafe, a qualified gate technician should inspect the system.
