Dortronics 1000 Series - Top Jamb Conversion Kit for Swinging Gates or Inswing Doors

Yes, but not with the lock's standard mounting. An inswing door puts the magnet out of reach of a direct header mount, so you need the 1000 Series top jamb conversion kit: the angle bracket brings the lock body down off the jamb and the 1096-00 Z-bracket carries the armature on the door face.

Pick the kit version for your lock. Three are offered: 1107 Maglock, 1107EDR Maglock, and 1000 Maglock. The bracket geometry follows the lock body, so order against the model actually on the opening rather than assuming one kit covers all three.

Mounting hardware only. You get the angle bracket and the 1096-00 Z-bracket; the electromagnetic lock, its power supply, and the release device are all separate. If you do not already have a Dortronics 1000 Series industrial maglock on hand, order the lock too.

Don't use the Dortronics kit on a ROFU lock, the brackets are series specific. For ROFU, the 21095-INSWING U-bracket and Z-bracket set covers inswing applications on full glass doors for the old 8005 model. Other ROFU bracket options include the 21035 L-bracket pair for the 8712 and the 21050 armature mounting bracket for the 8512/8612.

The closest ROFU counterpart is the ROFU 21095-INSWING, a U-bracket and Z-bracket set for full glass doors on the old model 8005 maglock. Both are inswing-oriented bracket kits that add a Z-bracket so the armature can sit on the door face while the magnet mounts to the frame. The Dortronics kit pairs an angle bracket with the 1096-00 Z-bracket and is intended for conduit fitted locks or top jamb mounting of the standard industrial lock, and it is ordered by the maglock it serves: 1107, 1107EDR, or 1000. The ROFU kit is sized to the 8005 body, so the two are not interchangeable across brands - match the bracket to the magnet already on the frame.

The Dortronics 1000 Series top jamb conversion kit is specified for swinging gates and inswing doors, so it is the wrong geometry for an outswing leaf. For outswing work on a 600 lb or 1200 lb magnet, the Locknetics MG Series L/U/Z bracket set covers L, U, and Z configurations, and the Locknetics WMG Series set covers L and Z. Those give you the L-bracket needed to bring the armature around to the outswing face. ROFU offers the 21035 L-bracket pair for the 8700 series 8712 magnet as another L-configuration option. Pick the family that matches the maglock already installed.

That is one of its two intended uses. The kit is built for swinging gates and inswing doors, and the angle bracket is what lets you mount a conduit-fitted lock, which is how industrial gate installs are usually run. It is a commercial-duty accessory, not a residential one.

It sits in the 1000 Series industrial maglock family, referenced against the 1095-07, 1095-07EDR and 1099-00 models, with kit versions built for the 1107, 1107EDR and 1000 locks.

On an inswing door or a swinging gate the armature has to be offset from the door face to line up with a lock mounted on the jamb. The 1096-00 Z-bracket creates that offset; the angle bracket handles the lock side. Mount the armature flat and it never meets the magnet face, so holding force drops to nothing.

No. An armature mounting bracket such as the ROFU 21050, made for the 8000/8005/8011 series magnets 8512 and 8612, carries the strike plate on the door leaf. The Dortronics 1000 Series top jamb conversion kit is a mounting solution for the lock side - an angle bracket plus the 1096-00 Z-bracket that lets a conduit fitted lock or a standard industrial lock mount at the top jamb of an inswing door or swinging gate. On many jobs you need both a frame-side bracket and an armature-side bracket, so confirm what is already on the door before ordering only one.

For a full glass door, the ROFU 21095-INSWING is a U-bracket and Z-bracket set specified for full glass doors on the old model 8005 magnet - the U-bracket wraps the glass leaf where there is no stile to through-bolt. The Dortronics 1000 Series kit uses an angle bracket and the 1096-00 Z-bracket for top jamb mounting of conduit fitted or standard industrial locks on inswing doors and swinging gates, which assumes a frame and leaf you can fasten into. Glass front installers should confirm the magnet brand first, since each bracket set is cut to its own lock body.
