5.7 Strike Assembly Final Adjustments
5.7.1 Strike Level Adjustment (De-energized)
De-energized adjustment of the strike height is important for proper door/lock operations. The
example in Figure 14 illustrates the Magnalock with the proper adjustment. Without power
applied to the Magnalock, both of the (conical) interference buttons should just clear the lock
brackets. Check this by opening and closing the door. To adjust the clearance to be closer, turn
each of the strike adjustment (shoulder) screws (located in the center of the strike) counter-
clockwise 1/4 turn, one at a time and recheck the clearances. (Both screws do not have to be
adjusted the same amount of turns). The adjustments should be made independently so that
the strike level is uniform to the door frame and Magnalock installation. The strike screws are
allowed up to two (2) full turns of adjustment each. If the adjustment required is two (2)
full turns or greater, then tighten the screws clockwise back to the down position, loosen the end
bracket screws and adjust the end brackets the amount of notches necessary to enable the final
adjustments. Repeat adjustments as necessary until a properly functioning gap setting is
achieved.
THE INITIAL SETTING OF THE STRIKE ADJUSTMENT (SHOULDER) SCREWS SHOULD BE
NO MORE THAN TWO (2) TURNS OUT. THIS WILL ALLOW A LARGER ADJUSTMENT
RANGE TO ACCOMMODATE POTENTIAL FUTURE DOOR SAG.
THE CONICAL INTERFERENCE BUTTONS ON THE STRIKE PLATE SHOULD JUST CLEAR
THE LOCK BRACKET SURFACES TO INSURE THE CORRECT GAP.

5.7.2 Strike Level Adjustment Testing (Energized)
Energized adjustment testing of the strike height is important for proper door/lock operations.
This adjustment should be performed after the de-energized adjustment, illustrated in Section
5.7.1. With the door closed and the Magnalock de-energized, apply power to the Magnalock.
The strike should be pulled up against the Magnalock face. De-energize the Magnalock and the
strike should return to the previously adjusted height. This function should be tested several
times to insure that the strike level adjustment is correct. If the strike is not pulled up to the
face of the Magnalock, the strike is to far away from the Magnalock. Make small 1/4 turn
adjustments to the strike screws until the correct level and clearances are obtained for proper
function.
A second test should be performed with the door starting from the opened position. Apply
power to the Magnalock and then close the door under normal operations. The strike should be
.100 [2.5]
to
.125 [3.2]
