Mounting the Strike Plate
The strike plate should be mounted prior to the magnet in out-swinging door applications.
Figure 3 below illustrates a typical strike mounting configuration.
Figure 3
Select a mounting location for the Magnalock and strike assembly as mentioned in Section 5.1.
The following general guideline should be used for consideration during the installation review:
 Read and follow the template instructions which include drilling and mounting instructions.
 Installing a strike plate horizontally, the top edge of the strike will be approximately 1/8"
[3.2mm] below the door frame stop. If the strike and magnet are to be mounted
vertically, increase this clearance between the strike and frame to 3/16" [4.8mm].
 An approximated 1” [25.4mm] clearance should be considered between the Magnalock
and the edge corner of the door frame. This will allow proper access for the mounting
locations for drilling and tool access.
 Use the template provided for positioning and marking the mounting locations of the
Magnalock and strike. Check the external and internal areas of the marked door and
frame for any obstacles such as wire chases or internal structural features. Make
necessary adjustments to avoid these obstacles.
 Offset strikes are available for lowering a strike alignment 1/4” [6.0mm] allowing
clearance when door construction contains obstructions in the mounting locations.
5.2.1 Mounting the Magnet
Installations with blade stops require an Aluminum Spacer Bracket (ASB) for clearance without
having to cut the stop as shown in Figure 4. Information on mounting brackets is located in
Section 6 of this manual.
To properly install the Magnalock, the following conditions should be verified:
 The entire Magnalock mounting area for the magnet must be a flat surface.
 The frame area selected must be structurally strong enough for support.
 The magnet face must be mounted parallel to the door face when closed.
 The installed strike must still allow the door to close properly by clearance and alignment.
 The Magnalock face and strike plate must be aligned so that they are centered.
ALIGNMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR “B” & “D” MAGNALOCKS (Section 5.2.4)
ALIGNMENT IS CRITICAL FOR THE MAGNALOCK HOLDING FORCE (Section 2)
 Mark and drill all holes for the mounting screws as instructed on the template.
 Make wire connections, apply power and test for proper operation.
 Mount the Magnalock using the hardware and thread locking compound provided.
 Tighten the screws until secure.
