There are numerous Magnalock versions and numerous different applications exist for them.
Accordingly, this manual provides a broad range of information- only a portion of which is
applicable to any individual use. This manual guide provides a brief summary of many of the
Sections which allows you to consult only the portions of the manual that apply to your
application.
This is the largest part of the manual with sections that explain the different types of physical
installations which vary according to door or gate types as well as Magnalock versions.
This section explains an available accessory.

Rev. A.5, 8/03
Use of the Magnalock (or any lock) can lead to an unsafe
condition within the building if it is controlled in a manner that
improperly restricts passage through certain doors. The most
important area of concern is to insure that building evacuation is
not impeded in the event of a fire or other emergency condition.
Consult with the local building or fire department to insure that
the controls installed with the Magnalock create a safe and code legal installation.
The Magnalock has an unlimited operating life and receives a
great deal of cumulative shock over this life from the door
closing and from persons attempting to open the door when it is
secured. It is therefore vital that it be firmly mounted to the door
header. If this is not done, a person's use of the door could
cause the magnet body to fall and possibly cause an injury.
The blind nuts furnished with the Magnalock will create strong
and permanent mounting when correctly collapsed inside the
header. If they are not collapsed, an unsafe condition will
result. Make sure you understand section 2.3.2 in the manual
on magnet mounting and collapsing the nuts.
- SHOCK HAZARD. The Magnalock must
be operated from a DC power supply of appropriate capacity
and voltage. The DC output of the power supply must not be
connected to earth ground but must be isolated, or a shock
hazard and possible damage to the product could result. All
Securitron power supplies are delivered with isolated DC
outputs and the majority of commercial supplies are also
furnished this way. If you are not certain that the DC outputs of
your power supply are isolated, check with an Ohmmeter
between earth ground and +V, and then between earth and 0V
(negative). You should not have continuity.

SECURITRON 32, 34, 62 AND 82 SERIES MAGNALOCK
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. DESCRIPTION
Securitron’s Magnalock family represents the state of the art in electric locking. Three different
size models are available: The Model 32 and Model 34 series with a holding force of 600 lbs. (275 Kg.); The Model 62 series with a holding force of 1,200 lbs. (550 Kg.) and the model 82
series with a holding force of 1,800 lbs. (820 Kg.). Several mounting and electronic options are
available which are described in this manual. Note that most points in this manual apply to the
entire Magnalock series. When a point applies to a particular Magnalock version, this will be
specifically noted.
2. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
2.1 SURVEY
Because of the wide variety of situations in which the Magnalock may be utilized, first survey the
physical area in which it is to be installed and determine the best method of mounting it. In this
initial planning two considerations come into play: the mounting method must be strong enough
so that the full holding power of the Magnalock can be effective, and the Magnalock and wiring
must be protected to a reasonable degree from damage by intruders or vandals. Often an
accessory bracket is necessary, either furnished by Securitron or made up by the installer. The
brackets that can be used are covered later. Note that Magnalocks are supplied with a
complete set of fasteners. When shipped outside of North America, metric fasteners are
supplied and therefore the drawings in this manual show both US and metric fasteners.
2.2 INSTALLATION TOOL KIT
Securitron offers an installation tool kit (part # IK or IKM, for metric use) which includes special
drills, a drilling template, a blind nut collapsing tool and extra fasteners and hardware. If the
installation is for a large number of locks or if the installer expects to perform other installations,
we recommend the purchase of this kit as it reduces installation labor and improves job quality.
2.3 GENERAL INSTALLATION ON OUTSWINGING DOOR
The Magnalock should be mounted under the door frame header in the corner farthest from the
hinges (see Figure 5). Most commonly, it is positioned horizontally but vertical positioning
should also be considered. In some cases for example, the horizontal header on an aluminum
frame glass door is not as strong as the vertical extrusion, so vertical mounting would be
preferred. This type of installation places the Magnalock such that the door swings away from it.
This configuration is necessary for all facility exit doors (otherwise, the Magnalock would be on
the outside of the building). For interior doors, the Magnalock should still be mounted in this
manner unless security planning anticipates a physical assault on the Magnalock from that side
of the door in which case see section 2.4 on inswinging door installation.
2.3.1 STRIKE PLATE MOUNTING
The strike should be mounted before the magnet on the upper corner of the door. The first
step is to locate the precise place you intend to mount the strike including deciding whether you
want to mount the Magnalock horizontally or vertically (see Section 2.3.2). The top of the strike
should be positioned about 1/10" (2.5mm) below the line where the door meets the door stop, or below the header if there is no door stop to permit free closing. If the strike is
mounted vertically instead of horizontally, increase this stand-off distance to 2/10" (5mm).
More clearance is needed on a vertical mount because the strike projects out from the door and
can scrape the side frame as the door swings closed on its arc. Final positioning of the strike is
dictated by the desired position of the magnet. The strike must be centered on the magnetic poles (3 bars) and the magnet is normally moved an inch or so in (or down) from the frame
corner so that the magnet mounting holes will not have to be drilled awkwardly in the corner.
When the strike position has been chosen, step two is to drill three holes in the door following
the template. Step three is mounting the white plastic bushings which surround and insulate
the roll pins into the 1/2" (12.7mm) holes. The bushings are employed to insulate the strike electrically from a metal door and also help prevent the roll pins from wearing the door.

Step four is to insert roll pins furnished with the strike. The pins are hammered into the strike
but be careful not to hit them too hard as it is possible to raise dents on the strike surface by
over driving the pins which degrades strike flatness and therefore holding force. In step five, the
strike is secured by the central strike mounting screw. In step six two flexible washers are then
placed between the strike and the door with the strike mounting screw passing through the
washers to provide flexibility. A third rubber washer is furnished. This is not normally used but
may be employed in case the spacing of the magnet and strike is a little off. Adding the third
washer will move the strike closer to the magnet. Do not place the washers around the roll pins. The roll pins should "float" in their holes and not bind. Their only purpose is to prevent
the strike from rotating or spinning.
In step seven, the strike is secured to the door via the supplied sex bolt. Note that we supply a
massive 1 1/4” diameter sex bolt as it is the only point of attack from the outside of the door. It
can be difficult to align the strike mounting screw with the sex bolt, so the following technique is
recommended: Start the sex bolt in its 1/2" (12.7 mm) hole but thread the strike mounting screw
into it (with strike plate and washers) before hammering the sex bolt down. Next, hammer the
sex bolt down and then screw the strike mounting screw in the rest of the way. This makes
alignment much easier.
Step eight is to verify proper mounting. When the strike is mounted, make sure it flexes
freely around the washer stack. This flexing allows the Magnalock to pull the strike into
perfect alignment for maximum holding force. It is never possible for a door and frame to line
up well enough for the Magnalock to function unless the strike is allowed to flex.

2.3.2 MOUNTING THE MAGNET
Step one is to locate the mounting position of the magnet. It will mount in the door frame
header with four socket cap machine screws for metal frames or wood screws for wood frames.
In mounting the Magnalock, six conditions must be followed:
-- The frame header must present a flat surface for the magnet to mount to. 1 7/8” (48mm) for
the model 34, 2 1/4” (57mm) for the model 32 and 2 1/2" (63.5mm) for the model 62 and 82 are
required from the door to the rear of the magnet for proper mounting (as shown in Figure 5). If
this length of flat surface is not available, the use of stop filler plates and/or header brackets
available from Securitron can usually resolve the problem. Again, refer to Figure 5.
-- The frame area selected must be structurally strong enough to yield a properly secure
installation. The issue of frame strength must be considered in selecting vertical or horizontal
mounting. One often finds on aluminum headers that the horizontal extrusion is weak and can
be snapped off, so vertical mounting would be preferred. It is also possible to reinforce the
header by adding a steel plate. The installer must avoid mounting the magnet to a wobbly or
weak support or the intrinsic security of the lock will be diminished.
-- The magnet face must be parallel to the strike plate.
-- The magnetic poles (three metal bars on the Magnalock), must be centered on the strike.
-- The magnet must make solid contact with the strike but still allow the door to close properly.
-- The direction of door opening must pull the strike directly away from the magnet rather than
sliding it away. Electromagnets hold only weakly in the shear direction of pull.

Once a solid flat surface has been prepared for the magnet, it must be positioned so that its face
is parallel and centered to the strike plate. When the magnet has been experimentally
positioned this way, it's ready for mounting.
In step two, holes must be drilled for the mounting screws, and a 1/2" (12.7mm) diameter wireway hole should be drilled. Step three is to install the blind finishing nuts. For proper strength,
the 1/4-20 (or 6mm) mounting machine screws must be secured by these nuts. They will work
on any thickness metal header and are used as follows: A 3/8" (9.5 mm) hole is drilled following
the template for each nut. The nut is then pressed up into the hole and lightly seated with a
hammer tap. The nut is then collapsed inside the header. If you have Securitron's IK
installation kit, the nuts may be collapsed by the use of the blind nut placement tool. A special
collapsing tool is also included with each Magnalock. It is somewhat slower to use than the
more elaborate tool found in the installation kit. For its use, see Figure 4.
Step four is to make the necessary wire connections. Step five is to mount the magnet via the
supplied machine screws (see Figure 2). Don't forget to use the gold flat washers. They
prevent the narrow screw heads from digging into the resin which could cause damage. Tighten
the screws to a snug fit only. Use the supplied thread-lock on the screw threads to avoid the
possibility of the screws loosening over time. Do not drill out the mounting holes to make for an easier fit. You may cut an internal wire and void the warranty.

2.4 GENERAL INSTALLATION ON INSWINGING DOOR WITH Z BRACKET
In cases where the Magnalock must be mounted on the inswinging side of the door to protect it
from physical assault, the magnet body is mounted flush on the wall above the door frame and a
"Z" bracket is affixed to the door which positions the strike in front of the Magnet (part # Z-32,
Z-62 or Z-82 with the suffix “M” for metric). The model 34 series is not offered in a face mount version. Securitron's "F" series Magnalocks are used, as they have mounting holes
through the face of the magnet and wire exit to the rear. Figure 6 shows this configuration.
Note that the model 62F has five mounting holes through the face. The “extra” hole is to
provide flexibility in mounting when the magnet body is positioned partly on the top of the
door frame and partly on the wall. In that instance, it becomes possible to secure the model 62
magnet body with three screws which all go into the frame header (many wall types such as
