MODEL IK, IKM INSTALLATION TOOL KIT
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. DESCRIPTION
The IK contains tools that will improve the speed and quality of model 62 and 32 Magnalock
installations. It also includes additional fasteners and a Tips and Techniques Installation Video.
The IKM is the export version which includes metric fasteners.
2. DRILL GUIDE
The drill guide is the gold colored angle piece. This allows drilling more rapid and accurate pilot
holes for mounting the magnet and strike plate on outswinging doors. It replaces the paper
template provided with the lock. The holes in the guide are sized for use with a 1/8" drill bit and
the guide includes hardened steel bushings so that it will last for many Magnalock installations.
2.1 POSITIONING THE GUIDE
The first point to notice about the guide is that it has two sets of holes: for the 62 and 32
Magnalock. The six 32 Magnalock holes are surrounded by a silver colored ring. The eight 62
holes are "plain". Next, the guide must be placed against the door and frame (with the door
closed). Figure 1 shows the concept of positioning the drill guide for horizontal and vertical
mounting. Note that the 3 "in line" holes are always for the strike plate and it is this set of holes
that must be positioned on the door. Note also that in the drawing, the guide has been moved
in from the corner somewhat. This is to permit easy drilling of the holes nearest the corner.
This distance that the guide should be moved in from the corner will depend on the type of drill
you will be using. You can set this distance by simply positioning the drill against the frame.

WHEN THE LOCK IS MOUNTED
VERTICALLY
The drawing shows an "ideal" door frame because the door stop is wide enough to fully mount
the magnet body. This will not always be the case and you should be prepared to employ
accessory brackets. See the Magnalock instruction manual for descriptions of these brackets.
One problem that brackets cannot solve is if the mounting screws of the magnet body fall on an
edge in the frame or stop. This can be compensated for by varying the number of rubber
washers that stand off the strike plate from the door. The stand off that is set by positioning the
drill guide as shown in Figure 1 is 1/4" (6MM) which is the thickness of two rubber washers.
Magnalocks are delivered with three rubber washers and extras are supplied with the kit so you
can slide the guide farther away from the door and compensate with extra rubber washers. You
can also drop down to one rubber washer by moving the guide 1/8" (3MM) closer to the door.
To accomplish this, obviously the door must be opened slightly. Note also that when you're
using the model 62, it is possible to mount the product with only two magnet mounting screws
(at opposite ends of the magnet). This is not ideal as it sacrifices some rigidity, but two screws
mounted into blind nuts are of adequate strength.
