It's covered in the soon-to-be-released FASA FAQ 2.0 that Jim Nelson
gave me:

MAGLOCKS
Maglocks was intended to stop a shadowrun if not sleazed.
However, the card text doesn't accurately reflect this. We intend to
change the card so that it works as it was originally intended to. The
answers below are correct for the text currently on the card, but we'd
prefer that you use the card as it was intended to be used.

What happens if I fail to sleaze Maglocks?
The alarm is triggered and Maglocks is trashed.

What if the alarm is already triggered when Maglocks is revealed?
Is Maglocks trashed?
Yes.

For those of you who would prefer to use the card as it was
intended to work, the revised card text appears below. We strongly
encourage you to use the card as it was intended (otherwise it's sort
of a "glorified" Flock of Geese).
The owner of Maglocks must choose a number from 1 to 6 and place
a D6 under his hand showing that number. The shadowrunning player must
guess the number on the D6. He may make X+1 guesses. X = Technical
rating of the shadowrunning team. If number is guessed, the shadowrun
continues and Maglocks is trashed. If the number is not guessed, the
shadowrun is over.
