Aluminum Spacer Bracket

(Models ASB-32, ASB-62, and ASB-82)

Installation Instructions

INTRODUCTION

The Aluminum Spacer Bracket (ASB) is a 1/2” [12.7 mm] thick, anodized,
aluminum spacer bracket with individual designs for the Models M32, M62, or
M82 Magnalocks
glass doors with or without blade stops may require an ASB, which improves
frame mounting strength, Magnalock/Strike clearances, alignments, and also
eases installation (see Figure 2, “Installation Cross Section”).

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION TOOLS

• 1/2” Wrench or Adjustable

INSTALLATION

Mounting the Strike

1. Prior to proceeding, DETERMINE the proper location for mounting the strike
in relation to the Magnalock, and CONSIDER the following:

• Aluminum-frame, glass doors vary depending on the top rail (shoe) size

and the internal structural design.

• In a narrow frame, once the Magnalock is spaced down by the ASB, it

may not be possible to install the sex bolt for the strike without hitting
glass or an internal structure (e.g., cable); therefore, supplied hardware
with the ASB allows the strike to be directly mounted to the door using a
special 5/16-18 [8 mm-1.5 mm] threaded blind nut.

2. IF mounting the strike on a conventional frame rail,

AND the use of an ASB is required,
THEN MOUNT the strike using a sex bolt and as described in the applicable

Magnalock instructions.

3. IF mounting the strike on a aluminum-frame, glass door,

AND the use of an ASB is required,
THEN PERFORM the following.

a. DRILL a 1/4” starter hole into the door in the location where the sex bolt

would normally be used.

b. INSPECT for any structural door component that might interfere with the

use of a sex bolt (e.g., cable or bar).

c. IF there are no structural door components in the way,

THEN MOUNT the strike using the sex bolt and as described in the
applicable Magnalock instructions.

NOTE: When properly collapsed, a special blind nut provides adequate

security for the strike in an aluminum-framed, glass door.

d. IF there are structural door components in the way,

AND the use of a sex bolt is not
THEN MOUNT the strike on the door using a special blind nut and

mounting screw.
