L-brackets support magnetic locks in special-use installations where available space makes direct mounting difficult, while Z-brackets help mount the lock and armature plate on in-swinging doors with adjustable positioning. U-brackets are designed for glass doors, with an adjustable fit for 9 to 13 mm glass, and spacer plates add clearance between the mounting surface and lock, such as a quarter-inch spacer for a 600-pound magnetic lock.

Start by matching the bracket to the magnetic lock’s series and holding force, such as a 600-pound or 1,200-pound lock, then compare the bracket’s dimensions with the magnet and door frame. Confirm that the bracket type suits the door and mounting space, and that it positions the armature plate squarely against the magnet with the required adjustment for an in-swinging, glass, or other door application.

For glass doors, U-brackets provide an adjustable fit for glass from nine to thirteen millimeters thick. For limited header space or in-swinging doors, L-brackets, adjustable Z-brackets, and spacer plates support alternative mounting layouts and armature positioning.

Choose a bracket that matches the magnetic lock’s series and holding force, then confirm the door swing, frame clearance, mounting surface, and armature plate position before installation. For high-use areas, select a configuration that supports accurate alignment and access-control wiring, while outdoor or glass-door installations may call for corrosion-resistant stainless steel, Z-brackets for in-swing doors, or U-brackets sized for the glass thickness.
