A: Per our conversation regarding your application of building a gate that can be electrical hold in the closed position, but have enough holding power so as to not accidentally disengage the gate from the powered electromagnet: Here is the conversation with the manufacturer.
Question:
What is the holding power of this 2400 at line voltage?
Answer:
35-45lbs. holding force.
Question:
curious
why is there a range, meaning what are the variables that allow for there to be a range.
so 40 lbs +/- 10%
but what causes that +/- 10%
Question:
Typically holding force is 35lbs. There could be a variance if there is a variance in the power supply but typically you don’t see one.
In short, the answer is 35 lbs.
ABH does indeed have a unit with significantly higher holding power as seen here but is not recessed / flush mounted:

And as you see this is both flush mount and 110 lb. holding force. Might this help?
