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, sufficient
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 door. 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 assembly 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.
