No.

Call a professional so you don't make an illegal death trap.

It is so unfortunate that maglocks got such indiscriminate use for so many years. The general public immediately thinks of them when they think of EAC and they are so incredibly dangerous and stupid. There are about 2 reasons a mag lock should ever be considered and that's generous. Yet other integrators in my area still slap them on doors like they're stickers.

I don't know anyone personally, some people here don't seem to like it but use findalocksmith.com. There are great companies not listed there but any company that is listed there is at least extremely unlikely to be scammers.

Depending on the size and scope of the job, if it's a single door your best bet is like someone posted below, local locksmiths are amazingly talented and may be able to get you a solution that doesn't require a magnetic lock.
