2. SWINGING GATES - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Swinging Gate Applications
Installing the lock “U” Bracket (#2) to the fence post
The installation must be planned before you start drilling. The bracket must first be
positioned on the fence post (see FIG 1) at a location suitable for lock height, Make sure
there are no obstructions on either the fence or gate posts at this height, using the bracket
as a template, carefully mark the four through hole locations onto the post.
Remove the bracket and carefully center punch and drill the four locations using a 5/16” drill
bit, reinstall the bracket and install the shims and hardware as shown in FIG 1.
