Could a RFID be used to trigger a megnetic door lock?
I have no implants yet but have been wanting to do it for some time now. I have been trying to decide what to implant first, and then while at work I noticed we have a door that has a magnetic door latch on it and it got me thinking if I had a chip in my hand, and a chip reader in the door handle could it potentially be used to trigger the magnet keeping the door locked?

I use my 125KHz tag to open the door at my hack space. They issued me an RFID tag when I joined so I copied that to my rewritable tag and I've never been locked out since. Tim Cannon does the same at his hack space I believe.
You said it was at your job but you didn't say what kind of authentication was used to trigger the magnetic door lock. Is this already done by RFID? My hack space uses ordinary 125KHz tags, low security, so copying was no issue. If your company uses something more secure it's a whole can of worms that's covered in other threads here.
My company uses HID tags which I've been told can be written to implants but I haven't tried.
Tell us more about the setup at your work.
When I read your question it seemed more like you were wondering if a maglock vs bolt made a difference in unlocking it. Is that right?
It's not that hard to do once you figure out if the issued card is compatible with your implant. Like @mcstuff said more info about the system(RFID scanner,type of access card).
The lock doesn't really matter what does is the means of unlocking it.
Set up your vehicle to turn on,run,unlock via implant that's not too common I believe.
EDIT: I was typing when you responded my b :)
It sounds like the door at your work requires some one on the inside to disengage the maglock which would mean unless you get permission to overhaul and change the security of that room..then no it won't work at work.

That is an example of a decent NFC door lock. You can obviously find others that might fit your bill better.
I wouldn't say one is better then the other. I would say the use dictates which one a person would get. Security cards are often RFID an android is NFC.
NFC is a "contactless" chip that requires you to put it within mm of the reader (essentially making contact). It has the ability to be locked and is IMHO more secure because of how close you need to be to a reader.
RFID is a larger range (inches depending on the reader) which is still quiet secure cause you would need to know where and then get wishing your personal space to access it.
My NFC ring is used with a door lock my RFID was used with my work access card.
