Installing the adjustable Z-Bracket assembly
Select the appropriate “L” bracket for your application (#6 for Magnalocks, #7 for GL1 or
Magnalock with SASM) adjust and install bracket #5 as shown in FIG 4A & 4B, adjust and
install completed Z-Bracket as shown in FIG 4A & 4B. Note: Brackets can be adjusted in any
manner necessary to cover the lock area as shown in FIG 4A & 4B.
Installing the strike assembly to the Z-Bracket
Position the strike to the lock, ensure it is aligned properly with the lock (you can energize
the Magnalock to hold the strike or insert the GL1 strike into the latch for ease of alignment)
carefully close the gate and Z-Bracket until it touches the strike. Mark the outer edge outline
of the strike, open the gate and position the strike template in the outlined area. Mark the
mounting and roll pin hole locations as needed, center punch and drill appropriate holes
(13/64” drill bit and 1/4-20 tap for GL1 strike, or 5/16” drill bit for Magnalock strike center
hole and roll pins, attach as shown in FIG 4A & 4B.

3. SLIDING GATES - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-Installation Survey
It is recommended that an initial on sight survey be performed. A method of mounting should
be determined and an installation plan should be reviewed as follows:
 Physical strength of mounting areas should be strong enough to meet or exceed the
holding force of the required Magnalock.
 Placement of the Magnalock wiring and protection from potential damage due to intruders
or vandals external attack should be considered during the survey.
 Accessibility should be considered for prevention of any potential safety hazard.
Sliding Gate Applications
Installing the lock “U” Bracket (#2) to the fence post
The installation must be planned before you start drilling. The bracket must first be
positioned on the fence post (see FIG 5) at a location suitable for lock height, Make sure
there are no obstructions on either the fence or gate posts at this height, using the bracket
as a template, carefully mark the four through hole locations onto the post.
Remove the bracket and carefully center punch and drill the four locations using a 5/16” bit,
reinstall the bracket and install the shims and hardware as shown in FIG 5.
