Installing the Door Catch Assembly

With the electromagnetic assembly securely fastened,

aligned, and energized, proceed with the installation of the

door catch assembly.

Step 1:

Separate the alignment template

from the mounting template.

Step 2:

Place the swivel catch plate

against the magnet. Make sure it

is centered over the magnet.

Step 3:

With the catch plate attached to

the magnet, peel the backing off

of the mounting template, and

slide it over the base of the door

catch. Make sure the adhesive

side is facing the door.

Step 4:

Gently open the door until it

touches the base of the door

catch. Adjust the base until it lies

flat against the door.

Step 5:

While applying slight pressure on

the door, slide the mounting

template over the base to the door

surface, and apply pressure to the

template in a few spots.

Step 6:

Gently close the door to expose

the mounting template. Apply

final pressure to the mounting

template to ensure it is securely in

place.

pilot hole approximately 1 to 1 ½

inch deep. Be careful not to drill
