RECESSED MAGNALOCK MODEL M34R SERIES
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
The Securitron Series of Recessed Magnalocks were designed for installations where conceale d,
mortise type mounting in the door and frame is desired. The M34R was designed to operate
primarily with sliding type doors and are usually installed vertically for proper operation.
The M34R lock is also available with the following features:
The BondSTAT “B” 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. (See Section 5.5.2)
The DPS “D” 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. (See Section
5.5.2)

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.
The door and frame areas additionally need to be examined for mortising capabilities, sufficie nt
size and should be free of any internal obstructions.
5.2 Sliding Door
The illustrations in Figure 2 demonstrate a Recessed Magnalock installed in a sliding d oor. The
Magnalock mounts recessed into the door frame and the strike assembly is mounted into the
leading edge of the sliding door.

5.3 Frame and Door Preparation
5.3.1 Frame Preparation
Select a mounting location for the lock and strike assembl y as mentioned in Section 5.1. The
following general guideline should be used for consideration during the installation review:
Read and follow the directions on the template provided which includes drilling and
mounting instructions.
An approximated 2” [51mm] clearance distance should be allowed between the lock
(mounting bracket) and the inside corner of the door frame. This will provide adequate
access for the mounting locations and for drilling and tool access.

BEFORE CUTTING OR DRILLING ANY HOLES - ALWAYS CHECK THE STRIKE MOUNTING
AREA IN THE EDGE OF THE DOOR FOR OBSTACLES WHEN PLANNING WHERE TO
LOCATE THE LOCK. MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE STRIKE MOUNTING AREA DOES NOT
HAVE ANY OBSTRUCTIONS (I.E. DOOR ADJUSTMENT SCREWS OR DOOR CLOSER
OPERATORS) THAT MIGHT HINDER THE INSTALLATION.
Horizontally mark the door face and the frame to identify the desired height location of
the lock/strike installation.
Locate and mark the desired vertical centerline position for the lock/ strike asse mbly in the
center of the leading edge of the door. Using this door mark as reference, mark the same
vertical center location for the lock onto the door frame.
Using the magnet body mounting information in Section 5.4 and the lock template
provided, center the appropriate template into position on the frame and mark the
mortise cutout area.
Using a router, saber saw, or chisel (for wood) cut out the area for the lock mounting.
Insert the lock into the frame and mark the bracket locations for the mounting holes.
Using the drill size information on the template and a powe r drill, bore the holes required
for mounting.
5.3.2 Door Preparation
Locate the previously marked horizontal and vertical centerlines for the strike a sse m bly on
the edge of the door.
Using the strike assembly mounting information in Section 5.5 and the strike template
provided, align the template into position onto the frame and mark the mortise cutout
area and the hole locations for the strike mounting block. (Note the different sizes for the
cutout – the “D” version of the M34R requires the longer cutout to provide room for the
door position actuators at each end of the strike).
Using a router or saber saw cut out the area for the strike mounting.
Using the drill size information on the template an d a power drill, bore the holes required
for mounting.
5.4 Mounting the Magnet Body
The desired cable exit location should be determined prior to installing the magnet body. The
lock is symmetrical which allows the cable exit fro m the top or bottom of the door fra me. There
are many different techniques for mounting the lock depending on the type or style of doors and
frames. The following sections describe install ation methods for use on hollow aluminum, steel
and wood type doors and frames.
5.4.1 Hollow Metal Door Frames
Prepare the door frame in accordance with Section 5.3.1.
Place the lock body into the cutout area to ensure proper fit. As necessary, perform any filing or
cutting necessary to ensure the mortised fit. Ensure all necessary holes required to mount the
magnet body and flush mount brackets into place as indicated on the template have been
provided. Install the lock using a hex wrench, the listed mounting screws and the flush mount
brackets as shown in Figures 3 and 4 below. The adaption to variation in frame material
thicknesses can be obtained by flipping the orientation of the flush mount brackets. Shim plates
are also provided which may be used in conjunction with the flush mount brackets to create the
desired exposed height of the lock and/or to compensate for the various material thicknesses of
door frames. It is recommended that the magnet face protrude approximately 1/16” [1.5mm]
beyond the surface of the frame. Both Figures 3 and 4 show a shim plate between the lock
mounting bracket and the flush mount bracket in order to raise the magnet above the frame
surface.
