Description
Reliable Face Fix Mounting with the 3E550-1L L Bracket
Fitting electromagnetic locking hardware onto modern commercial doors frequently presents spatial challenges. Standard outward opening doors often feature narrow timber, aluminium, or composite header frames that lack the reveal depth needed to seat an electro magnet directly beneath the frame stop. When you attempt to secure an access control magnet without sufficient surface contact, you risk compromised security, unwanted movement, and a frustrating installation process that takes up valuable site time.
The 3E550-1L L Bracket For Non Monitored Magnet resolves this issue cleanly by extending the mounting plane of the door header. Specifically engineered to support standard non monitored magnetic lock bodies, this durable bracket acts as an extended transom plate. It drops the mounting position down, providing a broad and flat surface to clamp the magnet firmly in place above outward swinging leaves. This creates an unshakeable anchor that ensures your lock and armature plate line up perfectly every single time the door closes.
Manufactured from high grade extruded aluminium, the bracket delivers the structural rigidity needed to withstand continuous pedestrian traffic. In busy commercial spaces, communal residential developments, and educational facilities, access control hardware faces repeated daily impacts. This neat, anodised bracket absorbs physical stress without warping, ensuring that the full holding force of your non monitored magnetic lock remains dependable across years of service.
Step by Step Installation Pipeline
Stage 1 Header Evaluation and Marking
Check your door leaf alignment to confirm that the door closes flush with the frame. Place the bracket against the transom face to check the clearance needed for the non monitored magnet body. Use a fine pencil or punch to mark out the slotted fixing positions on the header, making sure the plate sits entirely level along the door width.
Stage 2 Pilot Drilling and Cable Planning
Drill appropriate pilot holes into the frame substrate using sharp drill bits suited to your timber, aluminium, or steel frame profile. Run your low voltage power supply wiring through the dedicated frame feed paths, ensuring the cable tail has enough slack to enter the magnet housing smoothly without risk of pinching behind the aluminium plate.
Stage 3 Securing the Bracket Assembly
Fix the L bracket securely onto the frame using heavy duty fixing screws. Take advantage of the slotted holes to make fine adjustments to the height before tightening all fixings down completely. A level, square mounting point prevents physical twist, allowing the magnet body to sit perfectly flat against its mounting face.
Stage 4 Hardware Mounting and Commissioning
Fasten the non monitored magnetic lock directly to the underside of the bracket plate. Connect the low voltage power cables and align the door mounted armature plate. Test the closing action to confirm that the armature makes full, even contact with the magnet face, delivering the complete rated security performance.
Why Choose the 3E550-1L L Bracket
Using dedicated mounting components like the 3E550-1L L Bracket For Non Monitored Magnet saves valuable installation hours and guarantees a neat, professional appearance. Improvised packing shims or non specialised steel angles often buckle under dynamic door slamming, causing alignment drift over time. This bracket is purpose designed with precise pre drilled fixing points, providing structural consistency and a visually integrated finish on any access controlled entryway.
- Purpose Designed Geometry Specifically suited for standard outward opening door arrangements where the transom header depth is limited.
- Durable Extruded Aluminium Provides excellent shear resistance, dampening vibrations caused by heavy door closures and everyday traffic.
- Professional Anodised Finish Blends seamlessly with modern architectural ironmongery, aluminium shopfronts, and perimeter exit doors.
- Simple Cable Management Facilitates clean wire routing into the magnet terminal block without leaving exposed or vulnerable external cabling.
- Installer Friendly Adjustment Elongated mounting slots allow micro positioning on site, ensuring the magnetic surfaces meet evenly.
