Fig. 4.1 COLLAPSING THE BLIND NUTS
Four holes must be drilled for the mounting screws, and a
1/2” (12.7 mm) diameter wire-way hole should be drilled for
hook-up. For proper strength, the 1/4-20 (6 mm) mounting
machine screws must be secured by the special blind finishing
nuts. The nuts will work on any thickness metal header and are
used as follows: A 3/8” (10mm) hole is drilled according to the
template for each nut. The nut is then pressed up into the hole
and lightly seated with a hammer tap so its knurl engages. The
nut is then pre-collapsed inside the header.

Fig. 4 TYPICAL MOUNTING FOR PUSH APPLICATION
MOUNTING THE MAGNET
The magnet mounts in the door frame header with four socket
cap machine screws for metal frames or wood screws for wood
frames. In mounting the Electromagnet, 6 conditions must
be followed:
— The frame header must present a flat surface for the
Magnet to mount to.
— The frame area selected must be reinforced to yield a properly
secure installation.
— The magnet face must be parallel to the armature.
— The magnetic poles (three metal bars on the Electromagnet),
must be centered on the armature.
— The magnet must make solid contact with the armature
but still allow the door to close properly.
— The direction of door opening must pull the armature
directly away from the magnet rather than sliding it away.
Electromagnets hold only weakly in the shear direction of pull.
Taking these points in order, the first is satisfied if the frame
presents a flat surface wide enough for the Magnet. If not, the
use of stop filler plates and/or header brackets available from
SARGENT can usually resolve the problem. Figure 4 shows the
typical use of these two accessories. 2-1/2” (63.5MM) are
required from the door to the rear of the Magnet for proper
mounting (as shown in the drawing).
The issue of frame strength must be considered in selecting
vertical or horizontal mounting. On aluminum headers the
horizontal extrusion is weak and can be snapped off so vertical
mounting would obviously be preferred. It is also possible to
reinforce the header by adding a steel plate. The installer must
avoid mounting the magnet to a wobbly or weak support or the
intrinsic security of the lock will be diminished.
Once a flat surface has been prepared for the Magnet, it must
be positioned so that its face is parallel to the armature (and
door). The magnetic poles must be centered on the armature,
and the door must close properly with the Magnet making firm
contact to the armature. When the Magnet has been
experimentally positioned so that these criteria are met, it’s
ready for mounting.

Fig. 3 ARMATURE MOUNTING
The armature should be mounted before the
magnet on the upper corner of the door according
to template. Final positioning of the armature is
dictated by the desired position of the magnet.
T
he armature must be centered on the magnetic
poles (3 bars). Roll pins furnished with the arma-
ture should then be hammered into the armature.
The armature is secured by the center armature
mounting screw.
Two flexible washers are then placed between the
a
rmature and the door with the armature mount-
ing screw passing through the washers to provide
flexibility.
Do not place the washers around the roll pins. The
roll pins should "float" in their holes and not bind.
Their only purpose is to prevent the armature from
rotating.The armature is secured to the door via
the supplied sex bolt.
