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 assembly 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 power drill, bore the holes required
for mounting.
5.3.2 Door Preparation
 Locate the previously marked horizontal and vertical centerlines for the strike assembly 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 and 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 from the top or bottom of the door frame. There
are many different techniques for mounting the lock depending on the type or style of doors and
frames. The following sections describe installation 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.
