Dortronics 1000 Series - Bracket for Mounting 1000 Maglocks to Top Jamb

Two bracket types are offered: an L bracket and a Z bracket. Pick based on how the lock body has to sit relative to the jamb. An L bracket gives you a single right-angle leg to drop the lock off the header or jamb face, while a Z bracket steps the mounting surface over and back, which is what you use when the lock has to be offset from the jamb to line up with the armature on a gate or sliding leaf. Both are catalogued under Dortronics model numbers 1095-00/1096-00.

No. It is a mounting accessory only. The 1000 Series maglock body, its armature plate and the power supply and access control wiring are all separate line items on the job.

Yes, it is a commercial door hardware item, matched to the 1000 Series industrial magnetic lock. Typical uses are exterior gates and sliding doors where the lock has to be carried off the top jamb rather than mounted flat to a header.

Standardize by magnet family rather than by bracket shape. The Dortronics 1000 Series bracket is a commercial-duty accessory tied to 1000 Series magnets, sold as an L-bracket or a Z-bracket. Openings running Locknetics magnets take the MG Series L/U/Z bracket or the WMG Series L/Z bracket depending on the magnet, and ROFU openings take their series-specific parts such as the 8700 Series L-bracket pair for the 8712. The practical path is to consolidate the magnets themselves over time so one bracket part number covers the fleet.
