READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING REV#0001A
Note
: For in-swing (hinge side) door mounting the TJ bracket and hardware kit is required . Refer to Mounting
Instructions for TJ1107.
IMPORTANT: Always handle electro-magnets and armatures carefully. The mating surfaces have been carefully
manufactured to provide maximum holding power. Mating surface damage can significantly reduce holding power.
Before starting, make s ure t he c orrect drill template is available f or the t ype of installation planned. Door swing and
construction, d oor frame mat erial an d c onfiguration m ust be co nsidered before d eciding o n th e pr oper mo unting kit and
method. See the Application Bulletins below for di agrams of typical door configurations and part numb ers for spacers, shims
and mounting brackets required for each type of installation.
The 1107xD Series Electro-magnet mounts firmly and rigidly to the underside of the header on the stop side of the door, while
the armature mounts to th e face of the door with special hardware that allows enough movement so that the armature can
align itself to the magnet face for maximum effectiveness even if it is not perfectly parallel and/or square.
A 2-1/8” wide flat surface is required to mount the 1107xD series magnet (see Figure 1).
For installations involving drilling and tapping of hollow metal door frames, the material thickness should be at least 1/8”. Sheet
metal screws may be used for wood frames and cl ad frames. For thinly clad d oors or wooden doors without sufficient solid
backing, a reinforcing plate may be required. See Figure 3.
STEP 1) MARK AND DRILL JAMB HEADER & INSTALL THE MAGNET MOUNTING PLATE
It is al ways a goo d ide a to h old the com plete assembl y i n place
before drilling to mak e sure the placement does not interfere with
door operators or coordinators. Magnetic locks should be mounted
as close to the latch s ide of t he door as is practical for m aximum
leverage.
Use the s upplied tem plate t o mark the door a nd th e j amb for
drilling. Depen ding on the ma terial, size the drill bit for either #1 0
Sheet Metal screws or for ta pping 10-32 machine screws.
Do not
prep jamb for the (2) # 10 locking screws at this time
Use star washers (included) with the scre ws to prevent l oosening
over time. T he four mounti ng scr ews s eat i n the slotted pocket
holes of the mounti ng plate ( Figure 2). Inst all the scr ews, but do
not tighten ful ly to all ow for adjustme nt after the armature has
been mounted to ensure proper alignment. If a standard filler plate
is used (Figure D Page 6), the mounting plate should be attached
directly to the filler plate using the pre-tapped holes, and clearance
hole for wiring.
If a –
W (wide) filler plate
is used, the mounting plate should be attached directly to the filler plate using the pre-tapped holes,
and clearance hole for wiring. Eliminate any sharp edges that could damage the wire insulation.
