2.5.4 DOUBLE DOOR MOUNTING
Several possibilities exist for this application. In some cases, one of the door leaves is pinned so that only one leaf is used and this is secured by a single Magnalock. If both leaves are to be active, two Magnalocks can be used. For the most attractive installation, they should be butted together but if obstructions exist in the header that interfere with mounting, the magnets can be separated somewhat. Another possibility is to use Securitron's split strike which is available for the model 62 and model 82 (use of a split strike with the model 32 or 34 series would provide inadequate security) In this method, a single Magnalock is mounted in the center of the header and a half size strike is mounted on each leaf. This reduces the holding force to about 550 lbs. (250 KG) for each leaf with the model 62 and about 850 lbs. (385 KG) for each leaf with the model 82. The split strike (part number
2.5.5 DM-62 DOUBLE 62 LOCK
This is a special order lock which provides two Model 62’s in a single, stainless steel housing. It is intended for mounting on any double door with no center mullion. The advantage of this product is solely in its esthetic appearance. Mounting procedures are somewhat different from the standard Magnalock. As Figure 11 shows, the magnet body housing mounts first. When this has been accomplished locate the center points for mounting the two strike plates by measuring in 4” (102 mm) from the housing end. Then, simply use the supplied strike templates on the doors, making sure to drop the top edge of each strike about 1/10” below the point at which the door stop meets the door. Note that on certain door types, spacing brackets may be employed as with single Magnalocks.
