Magal Announces US$4.5 Million in Orders for Protection of
Sensitive Installations 


YAHUD, Israel, October 25  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems,
Ltd. (NASDAQ:MAGS), (TASE:MAGS), today announced that two of its fully owned
subsidiaries have recently received approximately US$4.5 million in orders for
a number of projects for perimeter security systems that will be used to
protect sensitive installations. The majority of these installations are
situated in Mexico. The main portions of these projects are scheduled to be
complete before year-end and the balance during the first half of 2005.

One of these projects includes a new product: Magal's IntelliFiber. This
recently launched product is a unique optical disturbance sensor for demanding,
fence mounted security applications. The sensor is highly sensitive to
intrusion, extremely versatile and can be applied to virtually any fence. The
sensor cable consists of fiber cores for detection of intrusions only. The
IntelliFiber system is developed and produced by Magal's fully owned subsidiary
Senstar-Stellar Corporation based in Canada.

Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of Magal, remarked: "Over the last year, our R&D
team has done an excellent job in developing a variety of new security
products, which has significantly expanded the markets we sell to and
guarantees the future growth of our business. We are beginning to harvest the
fruits of their hard work as we begin to sell these new products in an
increasing number of projects."
