MAGNALOCK MODELS M32, M62 AND M82B

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. INTRODUCTION

The Securitron Magnalock family represents the state of the art in electromagnetic locking.
There are three (3) models with operational electrical characteristics including mounting
configuration options addressed in this manual.

The BondSTAT “B” Magnalock Series, Bond Sensor, monitors the magnetic field. An internal
sensor activates a SPDT dry contact relay connection designed for interface to access control
and/or alarm systems for reporting the status of the Magnalock. (Section 5.2.4)

The DPS “D” Magnalock Series, Door Position Sensor, is activated by a special magnetic strike
armature assembly. The isolated SPDT reed switch, with an internal resettable protection device,
is designed for interface to access control and/or alarm system for door status. (Section 5.2.4)

5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 Pre-Installation Survey

It is recommended that an initial on sight survey be performed. A method of mounting should
be determined and an installation plan should be reviewed as follows:

• Physical strength of mounting areas should be strong enough to meet or exceed the
holding force of the required Magnalock.

• Placement of the Magnalock wiring and protection from potential damage due to intruders
or vandals external attack should be considered during the survey.

• Accessibility should be considered for prevention of any potential safety hazard.

Additional brackets may be needed for proper installation. Specialized brackets are available
through Securitron and their many product distributors. (Section 6)

5.2 Out-Swinging Door

The installation shown below in Figure 2 illustrates the door swinging away from the Magnalock.
This is a common configuration on the secure side of exit doors. The Magnalock mounts to the
door frame header near the corner opposite the hinge side. The Magnalock may be mounted
horizontally or vertically depending on the installation required. The brackets shown in Figure 2
are to assist installation to door frames that may need modifications to complete the installation.

5.2.1 Mounting the Strike Plate

The strike plate should be mounted prior to the magnet in out-swinging door applications.

Select a mounting location for the Magnalock and st rike assembly as mentioned in Section 5.1.
The following general guideline should be used for consideration during the installation review:

• Read and follow the template instructions which include drilling and mounting instructions.

• Installing a strike plate horizontally, the top edge of the strike will be approximately 1/8"

[3.2mm] below the door frame stop. If the strike and magnet are to be mounted
vertically, increase this clearance between the strike and frame to 3/16" [4.8mm].

• An approximated 1” [25.4mm] clearance should be considered between the Magnalock
and the edge corner of the door frame. This will allow proper access for the mounting
locations for drilling and tool access.

• Use the template provided for positioning and marking the mounting locations of the
Magnalock and strike. Check the external and internal areas of the marked door and
frame for any obstacles such as wire chases or internal structural features. Make
necessary adjustments to avoid these obstacles.

• Offset strikes are available for lowering a strike alignment 1/4” [6.0mm] allowing
clearance when door construction contains obstructions in the mounting locations.

5.2.2 Mounting the Magnet

Installations with blade stops require an Aluminum Spacer Bracket (ASB) for clea rance without
having to cut the stop as shown in Figure 4. Information on mounting brackets is located in
Section 6 of this manual.

To properly install the Magnalock, the following condition s sho uld be verified:

• The entire Magnalock mounting area for the magnet must be a flat surface.

• The frame area selected must be structurally strong enough for support.

• The magnet face must be mounted parallel to the door face when closed.

• The installed strike must still allow the door to close properly by clearance and alignment.

• The Magnalock face and strike plate must be aligned so that they are centered.

ALIGNMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR “B” & “D” MAGNALOCKS (Se c ti o n 5.2.4)

ALIGNMENT IS CRITICAL FOR THE MAGNALOCK HOLDING FORCE (Section 2)

• Mark and drill all holes for the mounting screws as instructed on the template.

• Make wire connections, apply power and test for proper operation.

• Mount the Magnalock using the hardware and thread locking compound provided.

• Tighten the screws until secure.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN SCREWS

NEVER DRILL MAGNALOCK MOUNTING HOLES

– DAMAGE MAY OCCUR –

NEVER USE SHEET METAL SCREWS TO MOUNT MAGNALOCKS

5.2.3 Blind Nut Installation

Install a blind nut into each of the 3/8” [9.5mm] hole using the blind nut collapsing tool
provided. Use the following instructions and Figure 5 for the installation of the blind nuts:

• Drill 3/8” [9.5mm] diameter mounting holes into the marked locations of the frame.

• Insert the assembled Blind Nut and Installation Tool into a mounting hole.

• Use 1/2” [13mm] box-end wrench for holding the Install Nut.

• Use a 3/16” [5.0mm] Hex Wrench with the Socket Cap Screw to collapse the Blind Nut.

• Remove the collapsing tool when finished.

• Check that the blind nut is collapsed properly.

• The collapsing tool is reusable for several blind nut installations.

5.2.5 In-swinging Door Installation

Figure 7 below illustrates a typical in-swinging door mounting configuration. This installation

requires the use of a face mount style Ma gnalock ( i.e. M32F, M62F, or M8 2FB) and a “Z” bra cket
(Z-32, Z-62, or Z-82) or an adjustable “ZA” bracket (ZA-32/62 or ZA-82) for offsetting the
mounting of the strike must be used. Follow the installation instructions provided with the “Z” or
“ZA” bracket product to correctly install the Magnalock in this arrangement.
