300 kg holding force places the I300ER in the class of maglocks suitable for moderate to high security exterior doors — retaining doors securely under push/pull attempts and providing a solid deterrent to forced entry. The mortice (recessed) mounting means the magnet sits mostly out of sight in the frame or door edge, offering a clean aesthetic and reduced exposure to tampering. Built‑in monitoring with NO/NC contacts simplifies integration with access control panels, alarm systems and building management platforms, allowing remote confirmation of door status (open/closed/locked).

Stainless steel construction and IP68/IK10 ratings make the unit resilient to corrosion, water ingress and vandal attempts — key attributes when installing on gates, external entrances, or industrial doorways exposed to weather and rough handling. Operating across 12–24 V DC and with transient protection included on typical kits, the I300ER fits smoothly into most access control power configurations while protecting electronics from voltage spikes.

Use cases and scenarios where the I300ER excels

The I300ER is versatile and particularly well suited to installations where both security and discreet appearance are important, including:

• External commercial entrances:Retail stores, office buildings and clinic entrances where a flush, unobtrusive locking device is desired but robust retention is mandatory.
• Industrial sites and warehouses:Loading bay side doors, plant room entries and perimeter gates that face harsh weather, dust and vibration.
• Residential and multi‑dwelling properties:Main communal doors where a concealed maglock preserves aesthetics and reduces visible hardware.
• High‑use public access points:Schools, hospitals and public buildings benefit from the vandal resistance and monitoring features for safety and compliance.
• Retrofit projects:Where an existing frame can accommodate a mortice installation and a surface maglock would be visually intrusive.

Because of its recessed design and strong holding force, the I300ER is especially appropriate where a clean architectural finish matters — entrances with glass or narrow framing, or designer facades where visible hardware is unwanted.

Comparisons with similar products on the market

When selecting an electromagnetic lock, installers typically compare mortice (recessed) options like the CDVI I300ER with surface maglocks, electric strikes and alternative mortice maglocks from other manufacturers. Key comparison points include holding force, mounting style, weather resistance, monitoring features and cost.

• Surface maglocks are easier and faster to fit in many cases, but they are visible and can be more exposed to weather and vandalism. Mortice units like the I300ER offer a flush, concealed installation that is more secure visually and physically.
• Performance (holding force) can be equivalent between similar rated surface and mortice models, but the I300ER’s stainless construction and IP68/IK10 ratings give it an edge outdoors.

• Electric strikes allow free egress without power (depending on fail‑safe/fail‑secure design) and retain original door hardware. Maglocks typically offer higher shear/pull resistance and are simpler to maintain, but require power to hold and must be integrated with door closers for reliable latching.
• The I300ER is aimed at installations where strong, continuous retention and environmental protection are priorities; an electric strike might be chosen instead where compatibility with mechanical locks and specific egress behavior is required.

Against competitor mortice maglocks from other reputable manufacturers, the I300ER stands out for its combination of external‑grade stainless steel, IP68/IK10 ratings and integrated monitoring contacts as standard. Some alternative products may offer slightly higher holding forces or lower price points, but they may lack the same ingress protection or the factory‑supplied transient protection and comprehensive fixing kits that reduce installation time and risk.

Customer testimonials and feedback

Direct customer reviews for specific model numbers can vary by supplier. Below are representative snippets of feedback that reflect common themes installers and end users report when choosing a high‑quality mortice maglock like the CDVI I300ER. These are illustrative and reflect typical user priorities (durability, integration, discreet installation):

• "Installed the I300ER on an external glass entrance — the recessed fit looks clean and the unit has performed faultlessly through winter storms."
• "We needed a monitored solution for a factory gate that faces chemical exposure. Stainless steel and IP68 rating were decisive; integration with our access control panel was straightforward."
• "The supplied fixing kit and armature plate saved us time on site. Current draw at 24 V is economical and it keeps our power budget on target."

If you require verified user reviews, check reseller pages, installer forums and the CDVI product page where case studies and official endorsements are often posted.

Installation, compliance and practical considerations

While the I300ER is designed for robustness and relatively straightforward integration, correct selection and professional installation are essential. Mortice maglocks require accurate frame preparation and alignment for optimal holding force; installers should follow the CDVI installation manual and wiring diagrams. Important practical points:

• Always isolate power before wiring. Observe local electrical regulations and have a qualified electrician or certified installer complete the final wiring and commissioning.
• Confirm door geometry and frame depth early — mortice installations require sufficient clearance to recess the magnet assembly.
• Pair the maglock with an appropriate door closer or latching device where required to ensure secure engagement of the armature plate.
• Use the monitoring contacts to report door status to alarms and access control systems for improved security and compliance logging.

Conclusion — why choose the CDVI I300ER?

The CDVI I300ER Monitored Mortice Maglock is a compelling option when you need a concealed, weather‑resistant locking solution that doesn’t compromise on holding force or system integration.
