Inswinging Door Lock Installation 

As previously mentioned, additional hardware and brackets are required for mounting the 
lock system in the inswinging door configuration.  The brackets, hardware and instructions 
required for the installation of the lock in this arrangement are available in a Top Jam Kit (TJ-
38 or TJ-68 Series) which may be obtained through Securitron Magnalock Corporation or one 

of our authorized representatives.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS 

The M38/68 series Magnalocks are direct holding fail safe electromagnetic locks. Both 
incorporate Securitron’s unique dual voltage system.  Simply apply 12 or 24 volts DC observing 
polarity (See Figure 6) and the locks will energize to their respective holding forces of 600 lbs. 

[272 Kg] for the M38 and 1200 lbs. [544 Kg] for the M68. 
 
The “L” option adds the ability to visually inspect the lock and determine via a red LED that the 
lock is in fact energized. 
 

The addition of the “S” option provides a lock status sensing signal which indicates that the lock 
is secure and gives you the added ability of a SPDT dry contact that you can interface to either 
the access control system or intrusion detection system (See Figure 7).  The “S” option will 
only report the door is secure if two criteria are met.  One - the lock must be powered and two - 
the strike armature must be in full unobstructed contact with the lock face. 

 
Add the two options together “LS” and get both the dry contact output and a visual reference 
via a bi-color LED (red = door powered and locked, green = door powered but not locked and off 
= door not powered or locked).
