4. GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
As with any product installation the proposed mounting area and structure should be evaluated
and the task should be thoroughly planned before drilling any holes.
Lock and Strike Installation using Top Jam Kit:
The first step in installing the lock in this configuration is to identify the desired location for the
lock housing (magnet). The TJ-Bracket may be mounted so that the lock is inverted from the
standard mount as shown in Figure 1, or may be upturned so that the lock is suspended by the
bracket from the top as shown in Figure 2.

The TJ-Bracket has six (6) mounting holes that can be used, and hardware has been included
with the kit to anchor the bracket to a variety of structural mounting surfaces. Figure 3 below

inswinging door mount configuration using the TJ-38 Kit:
