INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SMLS/SMSS
Surface Mount Lock Shear & Surface Mount Strike Shear
1. INTRODUCTION
Securitron’s model SMLS and SMSS are accessory mounting brackets designed to provide
optional surface mounting of the SAM (Shear Aligning Magnalock). The SMLS assembly consists
of a two-part housing and associated hardware for the surface mount of the (SAM) Magnalock
body. The SMSS assembly includes the housing and hardware for the surface mount of the
(SAM) strike armature. The SMLSM and SMSSM are the metric versions of these same brackets.
These custom brackets allow the Magnalock body and/or the strike armature to be mounted in a
wide variety of configurations while maintaining the integrity and holding force of the SAM.

Due to the wide variety of mounting configurations available with these products, 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 of mounting
should be made prior to installation. The SAM Lock, which these brackets are intended to be
used with, is considered as primarily an access control device and thus will normally be
installed on the “secure” side of the door. Therefore, protection of the lock from external
attack or vandalism is not generally a concern. Structural integrity of the mounting surface,
convenience and accessibility should be considered however, and the assembly should be
installed in a location that will not hinder or create a potential safety hazard to authorized
personnel routinely accessing the area.
