Additional installation considerations:
 In all cases when establishing component locations please take into consideration
that the cover is slightly wider than the lock being mounted.
 The mounting position of the lower bracket can vary vertically on the door.
Therefore it should be verified prior to mounting that:
a. The sex bolt head when installed will not interfere with the door stop. Note:
It is also possible to lower the sex bolt location by drilling a new lower hole in
the bracket if necessary.
b. That there will be no interference between the hardware holding the bracket
together (5/16” bolts) and the lock.
 The upper bracket is intentionally not pre-drilled to accept the strike because the
vertical position of the strike on the bracket depends where the lock has been
mounted (i.e. there may be a header molding/frame which must be cleared or in-
wall anchoring considerations that affect lock positioning).
 The strike can be mounted so its top edge is higher than the top edge of the upper
bracket. (This is why the bracket cover is open at the top).
 The ultimate mounting strength of the bracket to the door is due to the cap screw
into the sex bolt. The two (2) hex sheet metal screws are for anti-rotation only.
This fastener arrangement will function equally well on wood or hollow metal doors.
3. MOUNTING THE STRIKE PLATE TO THE ZA BRACKET
Holes must be drilled in the upper bracket of the ZA to mount the strike plate.
a. After determining the strike center hole location, use the template showing the strike
(furnished with the lock) and Figure 2, mark and drill the holes in the upper bracket.
b. Install the plastic roll pin bushings. Note: These plastic bushings as furnished will
protrude through the ZA bracket causing interference when mounting the cover. The
bushings may be cut short with a hacksaw or if desired they can be omitted (using the
roll pins alone).
c. Ensure that at least one (1) roll pin is pressed into the back of the strike plate.
d. Using the hardware provided, install the strike, using two (2) rubber washers minimum.
The two washer minimum is recommended because it will allow the strike to correctly
meet the magnet face in most cases.
4. ADJUSTING THE STRIKE PLATE AND INSTALLING THE DRESS COVER
Adjusting the strike engagement distance can be performed as necessary using the following
methods or combination of methods:
a. Loosening the ZA assembly fasteners (5/16” bolts) enough to disengage the teeth,
setting and re-engage the teeth at the desired distance, then tightening the bolts.
b. Adding extra rubber washers (a third one comes with each Magnalock and a fourth one
is furnished with the ZA bracket). These rubber washers can space the strike farther
from the bracket to help compensate for a door that may not be parallel with the
header.
Note: Two (2) sets of roll pins are supplied. Use the 3/4" [19.1MM] long roll pins to attain
correct spacing when using 2 rubber washers. Use the 1" [25.4MM] long roll pins to provide
correct spacing when using 3 to 4 rubber washers.
After the necessary adjustments have been made to the installed ZA bracket the dress cover
may be installed as follows:
a. Using a clean cloth and a household cleaner, wipe off the back side of the upper bracket
and allow to dry.
b. Remove the backing from the two (2) strips of tape on the inside of the cover.
c. With the door closed, vertically position the cover open-end-up to the desired location,
then visually align the cover horizontally so that there is an equal spacing of clearance to
each side of the lock inside the cover.
d. Firmly press the cover into place against the back of the upper bracket to secure.
