5.6.5 Soft Core Wood Door
Use of the end brackets is recommended when installing the strike assembly on soft core wood
style doors because a “pocketed” soft core door is not as strong in supporting the lateral forces
applied to the strike assembly. Use of the end brackets will provide a much more sound and
secure anchoring platform for the installation. Refer to Section 5.6 for use and adjustment of
the end brackets. Figure 11 illustrates the dimensional requirements of the cutout necessary
for installation into wood doors using the strike end brackets.

5.6.6 Magnalock/Strike Installation for “B” and “D” SAM Locks
***SPECIAL NOTE FOR SAM “D” MAGNALOCK (DOUBLE TRIGGER NOTIFICATION)***
The Magnalock mounting direction in slider doors should be considered critical for
proper operation.
For SAM “D” units, the Magnalock position should be installed with the cable furthest from the
door closing face as shown in Figure 13. This allows proper sensing of the door operation. If
the Magnalock direction is reversed the reed switch will be triggered by both actuator magnets in
the face of the strike assembly. Double triggering may cause inaccurate signals to access/alarm
control devices attached.
IMPORTANT!
PLEASE READ AND APPLY THIS INFORMATION WHEN ALIGNING/INSTALLING THE
LOCK AND STRIKE. THE ALIGNMENT TOLERANCES INDICATED FOR THE SAM LOCK
MODEL ARE CONSIDERED CRITICAL FOR THE PROPER OPERATION OF BOTH THE
MAGNETIC BOND SENSING (MBS) AND DOOR POSITION SENSING (DPS) SYSTEMS!
SENSOR RANGES (PHYSICAL POSITIONING):
The BondSTAT “B” and DPS “D” Magnalock “Secure Zone” sensing range for the SAM lock
model is as follows:
(The Figure 12 illustration is a visual reference to the sensing range outlined in Table A).
