2.5.3 SOLID GL AS S DOOR M OUNTING
The Magnalock is an excellen t choice f or securin g 100% glas s doors with no alu minum rail.
The magnet is suspended in normal fashion from the header and the difficulty in the
installation is mounting the strike plate on the glass door as glass cannot be drilled. This is
accomplished by using Securitron's model GDB (or GDBM with met ric fas teners ) Glas s Door
Bracket and model AKG Adhesive Kit for Glass (see Figure 7). The GDB bracket will work with
either the m odel 32, mod el 62, or mod el 82 Magn alock (but not with the model 34). The
bracket is affixed to the glass surface by a special adhesive and the strike screws into th e
bracket conventionally. The adhesive provides a permanent bond stronger than the holding
force of the Mag n alock.
Note that we h ave said "100% g lass d oor". Some doors that appear to b e g lass are act ual ly
laminated with plastic. If the Magnalock wi th glass door bracket is used on this type o f
door, it is possible that failure will occur via delamination.
In some cases th e header of a gl ass door is vertical g lass . The m agnet can b e mou nted on
such a head er by usin g a 3" X 3" alumin um angl e bracket (p ar t number HEB-3G). The bracket
is glued to the vertical glass header with Securitron's adhesive kit for glass and the magnet is
screwed to the bracket.
