Installing the Electromagnetic
Assembly
Step 1:
Using the gasket as a template, mark the four outer corner
drill hole locations on the floor. Check the alignment of the
gasket to ensure the door magnet(s) will be as flush as
possible with the door(s).
Step 2:
Drill holes 3/8 inch diameter by 1 to 1
1/8 inch (preferably 1 1/16 inch)
deep in floor. Insert the cement
anchors in the drill holes. Hammer
each anchor down until it is flush
with the floor, and then expand the
anchor with the provided setting tool.
Step 3:
Line up the gasket and base plate with the holes, pull the
conduit wiring through the center hole, and place the gasket
and base plate on the floor. Make sure the base plate has
the extruded-thread side up.

Important: When you connect the wiring for the singlecoil or double-coil 24/120 door holder, attach the green wire
to the earth ground.
Selecting a Location for the Conduit
When installing the door holder, the conduit wiring is pulled
through the center of the mounting gasket and base plate.
To allow enough space for the door holder assembly, make
sure there is a 6-inch diameter clearance around the conduit
location.
All wiring must conform to the National Electric Code
(NEC) and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
Step 4:
Secure the gasket and base plate to the floor with the four
retaining screws.
Step 5:
Connect the conduit wiring to the
electromagnetic assembly. See
Wiring Instructions.
Step 6:
Line up the two screw holes on the
electromagnetic assembly with the
two raised screw holes on the base
plate, and then place the assembly
over the base plate and onto the
gasket. Make sure each magnet is
facing a door (one or two
depending on the model).
Step 7:
Secure the electromagnetic
assembly to the base plate using
the two retaining screws.

With the electromagnetic assembly securely fastened,
aligned, and energized, proceed with the installation of the
door catch assembly.
Note: If door extension rods are
required, install them before you
proceed with this procedure.
Step 7:
Insert the alignment template into
the center of the mounting template.
Use the tab to rotate the alignment
template for a fine adjustment.

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.
Step 8:
If you are using the optional door
back plate for hollow doors,
center punch the points indicated on
the alignment template for either
horizontal or vertical installation.
For best results, drill an 1/8 inch
diameter pilot hole, and then a 5/16
inch diameter hole.
If you are installing the door
catch assembly directly to a solid
door, drill an 1/8 inch diameter
pilot hole approximately 1 to 1 ½
inch deep. Be careful not to drill
through the door.
Step 9:
Remove only the alignment
template from the door.
Place the base of the door
catch in the center of the
mounting template. Align

Place the door in the hold (open) position. If the door shuts,
check the alignment of the catch plate and magnet. Also,
check to make sure the power is turned on at the control
panel and the magnet is energized.
