INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For Model M38 and M68 Magnalocks
(Versions “L”, “S” and “LS” with “D” and “T” Options)
1. INTRODUCTION
Securitron’s Model M38 and M68 Magnalocks are fail safe electromagnetic locks designed for
*interior use in areas which require controlled access or egress. Each unit includes an
interlocking mounting bracket and a power and control wiring access compartment which
provides the added convenience of wiring “at-the-lock”. The sleek, low-profile design provides a
professional looking, unobtrusive integration into a wide range of architectural applications and
can be easily retrofitted to replace existing m agnetic lock systems.
* M38 and M68 Magnalocks are not designed, recommende d or approved for exterior (outdoor)
use. Interior use is described as any door installation to the interior of a building (i.e. offices,
work or storage rooms) or to the interior side

5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.1. Pre-Installation Survey
Due to the variety of mounting configurations available with this product, it is strongly
recommended that an initial survey and assessment be made of the physical area to which
the Magnalock will be installed. A determination of the optimal method o f mounting should b e
made prior to installation with considerations made to the following:
A. Physical strength of mounting area. The structural integrity of mounting surfaces
must be strong enough to meet or exceed the holding force of the Magnalock.
B. Protection of the lock from external attack. The Magnalock and the wiring must be
protected to a reasonable degree from potential damage due to intruders or
vandals.
C. Convenience and accessibility of area to be protected. The Magnalock assembly
should be installed in a location that will not hinder or create a potential safety
hazard to authorized personnel routinely accessing the protected area.
The mounting configuration addressed in detail in this manual will be for an outswinging
door. All hardware required for the outswinging mount configuration has been included with
this unit. For the inswinging version of mounting, a bracket accessory Top Jam Kit (TJ-38 or
TJ-68 Series) is required. Both kits are available through Securitron. The following
illustrations show two basic mounting configurations:
Outswinging Door Mount
Inswinging Door Mount (with TJ-38 Kit)
The Magnalock should normally be mounted under the door frame header in the corner
furthest from the hinges. Most commonly the lock is positioned horizontally but vertical
orientation may 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 obviously be preferred. This (outswinging) type of installation places the Magnalock on
the opposite side of the door as the door swings away from the lock. This configuration
should be used for all facility exit doors (otherwise the lock would be located on the outside
of the building). For interior doors, it is also recommended that the lock be mounted in this
manner unless security planning anticipates a physical assaul t on the lock from that side of
the door in which case the inswinging mounting kit (TJ-38 or TJ-68) should be obtained from
Securitron.

5.2.1.1. Strike Installation
Using Figure 2, the template provided and the following step-by-step installat ion
instructions, complete the installation of the strike into the door.
1. Fold the template and place into position on door/frame at desired mounting
location. Mark the strike center hole on the door and the center position of the
two (2) slotted mounting bracket holes on the door frame.
2. Drill one (1) 3/8” [9.5mm] diameter hole through door (a t ma rk for strike center
hole), then drill 1/2” [12.7mm] diameter through door from opposite side for
sex bolt (Item #7).
3. From the side of the door that the strike will be mounted, drill two (2) 1/2”
[12.7mm] diameter X 1-3/8” [34.9mm] deep holes for the roll pin bushings
(Item #1).
4. Insert the two (2) strike roll pin bushings into the holes in the door (either side
of strike center hole).
5. Obtain the strike (Item #3) and place on a clean, flat surface. Using a
hammer, insert and lightly tap to install the two (2) roll pins (Item #2) into
the two (2) 1/4” [6.4mm] diameter recesse s of the strike. Note: Care should
be taken when installing roll pins into the strike. Excessive impact to the strike
or over-driving the pins into the recesses may distort the contact su rface of the
strike which will affect the holding force of the lock.
6. Insert the strike mounting bushing (Item #4) and the 5/16-18 UNC X 1-3/4”
long socket flat head screw (Item #5) through the center hole of the strike.
7. Install two (2) of the neoprene washers (Item #6) over the screw on the
opposite side (roll pin side) of the strike. Note: A third washer is provided but
is normally not used. It may be used however, if required to take up any
additional spacing that cannot be taken up by adjusting the lock mount bracket.
8. Insert the strike mounting screw (with washers) into the 1/2” [12.7mm]
diameter strike center hole in the door while aligning the roll pins of the strike
assembly into the roll pin bushings.
9. Start the sex bolt (Item #7) into the 1/2” [12.7mm] diameter hole from the
opposite side of the door. Do not fully seat the sex bolt against the surface of
the door at this time, but thread the sex bolt onto the end of the strike
mounting screw. Using a 3/16” hex wrench, continue to thread the strike
mounting screw into the sex bolt while ensuring that the assembly maintains a
straight (perpendicular) alignment to the door.
10.Using a hammer and a 3/16” hex wrench, gradually tighten the screw into the
sex bolt until it is snug, and then tap the head of the sex bolt toward the face of
the door. Keep repeating this procedure to slowly “walk” the sex bolt into place
(head against door face) – this ensures a straight (perpendicular) alignment of
the strike assembly to the door. Note: Do not ov er tighten. When the strike
is fully installed there should be some play or flexing of the strike around the
washers. This allows the lock to pull the strike into the correct alignment for
maximum holding force.
