2.5.4 DOUBLE DOOR MOUNTING
Several possibil it ies exist f or th is ap p l ication . In som e cases, on e of th e door l eaves is pi nn ed
so that only one leaf is used and this is secured by a sin gl e Magnal ock. If b oth l eaves 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 spl it strike with the mod el 32 or 34 series
would provide inadequate security) In this method, a single Magnalock is mounted in the
center of th e h ead er an d a h al f s ize st rike is m oun t ed on each leaf . This r ed uc es th e hol d in g
force to about 550 lbs. (250 KG) for each leaf with t he mod el 62 an d abou t 850 l bs. ( 385 KG)
for each leaf wit h the model 82. The spl it strike (part n umber ASS-62 or ASS-82 with “M” suffix
for metric) is available either as part of a complete Magnalock or supplied separately as a
replacemen t for t he stan dard strik e. Read sec tion 2. 7 for inf ormation on Dress Covers wh ich
improve the app earance of a d oubl e door inst allation . Certain electron ic consider ations al so
apply when Magnalocks are used on doub le doors. See section 3.5.4.
2.5.5 STEEL HE ADE R F ILLED WIT H CONCRET E OR WOOD FRAME MOUNT I NG
Securitron offers a combined bracket in t hree versions to su it the th ree Magnalock f amilies.
The part numb er of the “Concrete/Wood Bracket” is CWB-32, CWB-62 o r CWB-82. Two
finishes are available (suffix CL or BK) and for metric locks, the brackets inclu de the su ffix “M”.
Note that the CWB bracket is not offered with the model 34. It’s functions are accomplished by
the UMB bracket for the model 34.
In concrete filled headers, the blind nuts function normally but a problem can occur in pulling
the hook up wires as it is difficult to run a wireway in concrete. The center of the bracket for the
model 62 and model 82 versions forms a splice chamber if it's difficult to pull the wires back
into the h eader . Th e mod el 32 version h as a s lot to b rin g th e wire in to t he h ead er bec aus e of
the narrowness of the lock. Alternately the wires may be pulled through the edge of the
bracket by drilling a hole if it's impractical to drill the concrete. A final technique for concrete
headers is th e use of Secur it ron's "G" versi o n Magnal o ck (not availabl e in the 32 or 34 series)
which incorporates a 1/2" female/-3/4" male universal threaded conduit fitting. The conduit
fitting is placed on the end of the magnet body, and the problem of pulling wires into concrete
is bypassed as the wires may be run in pipe in a surface mount configuration. The mounting
holes on "G" locks are counter-bored from both sides to make the lock non-handed.
With a wooden frame, long wood screws are used to mou nt th e Magn al ock. The s crews m us t
penetrate as deeply as possible through the stop and frame into the header to yield adequate
mounting strength. The Magnalock mounts to the bracket via machine screws and the bracket
permits wood s c r ews ( f urnished ) to penetr at e deeply in to the head er (see Figure 10)
