101+ DELAYED EGRESS
MAGNETIC LOCKING SYSTEM

FORM 10111 Rev. C
04/11/2002
The electromagnet should be mounted as near to the frame strike jamb as possible
to provide maximum holding force. EXCEPTION: If there is other equipment such
as flush bolt(s) or vertical rod exit device(s) the magnetic lock and its armature can
be shifted accordingly. It should, however, be mounted as close to the strike side
jam as possible without interfering with the operation of the other equipment.
Visually check the mounting location to assure that the unit will mount without inter-
ference.

Wiring for the electromagnet must enter the top of the unit through the wire access hole drilled in the frame header
(see template). Be certain provisions can be made to bring the wire through the header into the top of the unit.
Frame conditions may require the use of filler plates and/or angle
brackets. These items are available from Locknetics. In some cases it
may be necessary to fabricate custom brackets or filler plates to make
a secure installation.
Use proper mounting screws for your door frame. For light-gauge metal door frames, self tapping screws may be used.
If the door frame is heavy-gauge metal, machine screws may be necessary and the holes will have to be tapped.
Caution: It is very important to make sure that magnet is secured to the structure of the opening. It is the responsibility
of the installer to provide structural reinforcement sufficient to ensure a safe installation.
Armature mounting hardware is for door thickness of 1-3/4 inches. Sex nuts for thicker doors are available
from your distributor. For reinforced metal doors the sex nut is not required. Note that it is very important
that the hardware used in mounting the armature is installed correctly. The instructions show clearly how
this must be done. If not done properly, the lock will not function as designed.
PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
USE OF DELAYED EGRESS LOCKS:
Local codes generally require the signage, provided with the product, to be posted on or near the door. Consult local
authority having jurisdiction prior to any installation involving the use of delayed egress products to ensure life safety compliance.
101-2+:
When installing 101-2+ models, it does not matter which magnet
(master or slave) gets installed on which leaf of the opening. It will be neces-
sary to run at least four conductors between the two. Approximately 24” of wire
is included as built by the factory. If it is necessary to extend the wires be sure
that a good connection is made.
