2.5.3 SOLID GLASS DOOR MOUNTING
The Magnalock is an excellent choice for securing 100% glass doors with no aluminum rail.
The magnet is suspended in normal fashion from the header and the difficulty in the
installation is mounting the strike plate on the glass door as glass cannot be drilled. This is
accomplished by using Securitron's model GDB (or GDBM with metric fasteners) Glass Door
Bracket and model AKG Adhesive Kit for Glass (see Figure 7). The GDB bracket will work with
either the model 32, model 62, or model 82 Magnalock (but not with the model 34). The
bracket is affixed to the glass surface by a special adhesive and the strike screws into the
bracket conventionally. The adhesive provides a permanent bond stronger than the holding
force of the Magnalock.
Note that we have said "100% glass door". Some doors that appear to be glass are actually
laminated with plastic. If the Magnalock with glass door bracket is used on this type of
door, it is possible that failure will occur via delamination.
In some cases the header of a glass door is vertical glass. The magnet can be mounted on
such a header by using a 3" X 3" aluminum angle bracket (part number HEB-3G). The bracket
is glued to the vertical glass header with Securitron's adhesive kit for glass and the magnet is
screwed to the bracket.
