The shipping carton contains the complete AisleLok®
Bi-Directional Doors assembly, minimum additional
assembly may be required. Carton contains:
(1) LH Door Assemblies
(1) RH Door Assemblies
(2) Door Hanger Assemblies
Handle Doors With Care:
The AisleLok® Bi-Directional Doors are constructed using a strong polycarbonate clear plastic panel, but the door panels tend
to be very flexible when in the flat position. Avoid picking up the doors from the ends, as this can cause bowing, which could
damage the doors. Although quite large, try to carry the doors with the long edge up (like a suitcase).
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The AisleLok® Bi-Directional Doors attach to the side of IT Server cabinets using rare earth magnets. Use extreme caution
when handling the powerful magnets. Make sure to keep fingers clear of the contact area between the case magnets and the
metal mounting surface.
The AisleLok® Bi-Directional Doors magnets must make direct contact with the side of the cabinet sheetmetal for maximum
holding force. Make sure the magnet attachment is not inhibited by any cables, cable openings, hardware, aluminum, etc.
The holding force is relational to the sheet metal thickness (gauge) and flatness and flexibility of the side panel. Thin and/or
flexible sheetmetal side panels may reduce the holding force of the magnets and compromise the attachment of the doors.
Installation Instructions:
AisleLok® Bi-Directional Doors
1. Preparation
The AisleLok
of the box without the need of tools. The AisleLok® Bi-Directional Door
Assembly consists of a left hand (LH) door and a right hand (RH) door.

LH RH
2. Attach the AisleLok® Bi-Directional Doors to the cabinets
a. Stand the LH AisleLok® Bi-Directional Doors up vertically.
b. Note the (3) metal registration tabs located behind each of the hinge points.
c. Position the door against the cabinet side panel so that the metal tabs on
the back side of each hinge fit into the seam between the door and the front
edge of the cabinet frame. All (3) registration tabs should fit flush, contacting
the front edge of the cabinet frame.
d. While holding the door in position, starting with the middle hinge position,
turn each of the magnet twists counterclockwise until you encounter the
physical stop point; this will fully engage the magnet against the cabinet
side panel. Once both the middle magnets are fully engaged, the door will
support itself.
e. Before completing the engagement of the other (4) magnets, turn down the
bottom leveling foot making sure the door is positioned with a minimal gap
between the door and the floor (<1").
f. With the door properly positioned, turn the remaining top and then bottom
magnet twists counterclockwise until fully engaged. Confirm each of the
magnets are making full contact.
g. Repeat the same process for the RH door.

3. Position the Hanger Assembly on top of the cabinet
Attach the LH hanger assembly to so the magnet contacts the top of the
cabinet. This feature provides additional holding power to the door. Repeat for
the RH hanger assembly.
a. The magnet position on the hanger is adjustable. Out-of-the-box magnet
position should allow the hanger assembly to contact the top of the cabinet
sheet metal surface once installed.
b. Install the Hanger Assembly over the studs in the top hinge assembly.
c. Slide the assembly down until the magnet contacts the top of the cabinet.
d. Attach the LH hanger assembly using the supplied thumbscrews. If the magnet
does not make full contact, remove the hanger assembly and readjust.
e. Repeat for the RH hanger assembly.
