2.1. MOUNTING THE SB-MXD SEX BOLT AND THE MAGNALOCK STRIKE PLATE
The special SB-MXD sex bolt provided is to replace the standard sex bolt provided with the
Magnalock. Also the longer roll pins included are to replace those furnished with the original
Magnalock. Use the SB-MXD template and refer to the installation instructions included with the
Magnalock for mounting the lock and for marking the hole locations for the strike plate. Please
note that a 1” [25.4mm] diameter hole is required for the installation of the SB-MXD sex bolt
(instead of the 1/2” diameter hole that the original Magnalock template calls for). To install the
strike plate using the SB-MXD sex bolt, mark and drill the holes in the door as shown in Figure
2.

Using the following step-by-step instructions and Figure 3, install the sex bolt and the
strike plate to the door.
1. Remove the cap from the sex bolt assembly and insert the sex bolt into the 1” [25.4mm]
diameter hole from the opposite side of the door that strike is to be installed.
2. Using a mallet or hammer, lightly tap the head of the sex bolt to mark locations for the
sex bolt head anti-rotation pins.
3. Remove the sex bolt assembly, then drill two (2) 3/16” [5mm] diameter holes into the
door at the previously marked locations.
4. Apply thread locking compound to the external threads at the cap end of the sex bolt,
then insert the assembly back into the 1” hole ensuring that the anti-rotation pins engage
the holes.
5. Install the sex bolt cap to the opposite end of the sex bolt assembly. Tighten using a 1-
1/4” (or adjustable) wrench.
6. Install the two (2) long roll pins into the strike plate and the two (2) plastic roll pin
bushings into the 1/2” holes in the door.
7. Assemble the strike bushing, the 5/16” flathead screw, 1 - 3 rubber washers (2
recommended) and the steel flat washer through the center hole of the strike plate in the
sequence shown (see Figure 3).
8. Assemble the strike with washers to the sex bolt by aligning the roll pins into the bushings
and partially threading the 5/16” flat head screw into the sex bolt (just 3-4 turns is okay).
9. To fully tighten the assembly:
a. Pull the strike plate away from the door to disengage the roll pins from their
bushings and turn the strike plate so that the roll pins rest against the surface of
the door. This will expose the end of the sex bolt plunger.
b. Using a 7/16” (or adjustable) wrench on the end of the exposed sex bolt plunger
and a 3/16” hex wrench in the 5/16” flat head screw, tighten the assembly. DO
NOT over tighten the rubber washers.
c. Pull the strike plate away from the door face. Realign the roll pins into their door
bushings and allow the sex bolt to pull the assembly back into place.
