DynaLock 3101C Series 15000 Lb. Delayed Egress System (Generation II)
Model 3101C-TJ101-G2
3101C-TJ101-G2 Single-Inswing Delay Egress Lock Kit
Includes “Z” Bracket, Shim Plate, Door Sign,Wall-Mount Keyswitch
The 3101C-TJ101 Delay Egress Lock Kit is specifically designed to be face-mounted, to the frame header of an in-swinging single door. The Kit includes a top-jamb configured, 1500 Lbs. holding force delay egress electromagnetic lock assembly, adjustable “Z” bracket with shim plate, a wall-mounted bypass/ reset key switch station control (Model #7050-LED) and “PULL DOOR” verbiage door decal. The self-contained 3101C-TJ101 incorporates delayed egress sequencing electronics and a built-in egress sensing system which, during an unauthorized exit attempt, detects minor door movement, following latch retraction, to automatically initiate alarmed/ time-delayed release of the electromagnetic lock, in conformance with Life Safety Code NFPA-101. System reset and/or authorized bypass may be accomplished via the supplied key switch station, or external, remote dry-contact signaling device (i.e., keypad, card reader, push button, etc.). The 3101C-TJ101 is field-selectable to operate on 12 or 24 VAC/VDC input voltage, and will immediately unlock upon loss of input power, and/or dry-contact signal from a building’s fire alarm control panel. It is not intended for use on emergency egress doors.

DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can a delayed egress maglock be mounted on a single door that swings in toward the secured side?
That's exactly what the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 kit is built for. It's a top-jamb configured assembly that face-mounts to the frame header of an in-swinging single door, and the adjustable Z bracket with shim plate carries the armature on the door face. Standard surface-mount delayed egress magnets in the 3101C family go on outswing doors, so if the opening swings out, the top-jamb Z bracket setup is the wrong configuration for it.
2) Do I need a special power supply or electrified hinges to install a delayed egress mag lock?
No. The 3101C-TJ101-G2 is self-contained: the delayed egress sequencing electronics and the egress sensor are inside the lock body, so there's no external system controller, no electrified latch hardware, no transfer hinges, and no door cords. It auto-senses 12 or 24 VAC/VDC input, drawing 456 mA at 12VDC or 263 mA at 24VDC, so a standard access control supply sized to that draw will run it.
3) What actually comes in the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 kit, and what do I still have to buy?
The kit ships with the 1500 lb holding force top-jamb delayed egress magnet assembly, the adjustable Z bracket and shim plate, a wall-mounted bypass and reset key switch station (model 7050-LED), and a PULL DOOR decal for the door. What it doesn't include is power. You supply a 12 or 24 VAC/VDC source and the run to the fire alarm panel dry contact. Any remote release device you want beyond the key switch, a keypad, card reader or push button, is also separate.
4) Is this delayed egress lock legal to put on my building's exit door?
The 3101C-TJ101 runs its alarmed, time-delayed release sequence in conformance with Life Safety Code NFPA-101, and it releases immediately on loss of input power or on a dry contact signal from the building fire alarm panel. DynaLock states plainly that it is not intended for use on emergency egress doors. Delayed egress is permitted only on specific occupancy types under your local code, so the authority having jurisdiction decides the opening, not the hardware.
5) What options do I have to specify when ordering a DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2?
Five switch and monitoring options are built to order, each a yes or no: anti-tamper switch, auxiliary alarm output, bypass monitor, door status switch, and the Dynastat force sensor. All 32 combinations are orderable. Separately you choose low power consumption coils, yes or no, and that one has a restriction: low power coils cannot be combined with the Dynastat force sensor. If you're feeding status back to an access control head end, the door status switch and bypass monitor are the two to add.
6) I need a mag lock on a pair of doors or an exterior opening. Is the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 the right one?
No, wrong part on both counts. The TJ101 kit is a single inswing door configuration. For a pair, the double door magnets in the DynaLock line are the 3121C (one 22 inch bar) or the 3121C2 (two 11 inch magnets), and the Dorma EML320 is a double door 1500 lb alternative. For an exterior or wash-down opening, look at a weather rated unit instead, like the Alarm Controls 1200WP Series or the Locknetics WMG Series.
7) What is the closest delayed egress magnetic lock to the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 from another manufacturer?
The Alarm Controls 1200DE is the direct counterpart: it is a delayed egress magnetic lock for a single door, the same job the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 kit does with its 1500 lb. holding force and self-contained delayed egress sequencing electronics. Both put the delay logic in the lock body rather than in a separate controller, so a spec calling for single-door delayed egress can be met with either. Where the DynaLock differs is configuration: the 3101C-TJ101-G2 is built as a top-jamb kit for an in-swinging door and ships with the Z bracket, shim plate, wall-mount bypass/reset key switch station and PULL DOOR decal in the box.
8) If the opening does not need delayed egress, what magnetic lock does the same holding job as the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2?
For a straight electrically locked opening with no egress delay, the Dorma EML310 with door position sensor holds a single door at 1500 lb., matching the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2's 1500 lb. holding force, and is a fail safe electrically locked device that is fire rated. The Alarm Controls 1200 single magnetic lock is another single-door option without delay electronics. The DynaLock carries the delayed egress sensing and alarm timing on board, which is what a facility uses when code or policy requires the exit attempt to be held and annunciated before release; if that is not part of the sequence, a plain mag lock covers the opening.
9) What should I use instead of the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 on a pair of doors?
The 3101C-TJ101-G2 kit is built for a single in-swinging door. For a double opening, the Dorma EML320 is a double door electromagnetic lock rated 1500 lb. and the Alarm Controls 1200D is a double magnetic lock series. Both cover an opening with two leaves in one order rather than assembling two single-door kits.
10) Will a delayed egress mag lock false alarm every time someone leans on the door?
There's a selectable nuisance delay of 1 or 3 seconds specifically to keep incidental door pressure from tripping the sequence. The egress sensing is opto-electronic, a concealed optical sensor that DynaLock states is unaffected by wind, warpage or door sag, and it looks for minor door movement after latch retraction rather than reading force on the door. Calibration is done with a micrometer style adjustment wheel on the unit.
11) How do I reset a delayed egress lock after it alarms, and can a card reader release it?
Two ways. The supplied 7050-LED wall-mounted key switch station both bypasses and resets the 3101C-TJ101, so a keyed staff member can clear an alarm at the door. Or you feed it a dry contact from an external device, which is where a keypad, card reader or push button ties in. That dry contact input is how the lock integrates with an existing access control system without needing DynaLock's own controller.
12) What other brands of delayed egress magnetic lock could I use on a single door instead of DynaLock?
For a single door, the Alarm Controls 1200DE Series is the direct cross-brand delayed egress magnetic lock. It's the closest functional equivalent to the DynaLock 3101C family. Note that the DynaLock kit here is the top-jamb inswing configuration with the Z bracket, shim plate and 7050-LED key switch bundled in, so compare what a competing unit ships with before you assume a like-for-like swap covers the whole install.
13) Is a shear lock or a mortise mag lock a substitute for the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2?
They solve a different mounting problem. The ROFU 8031-002 is a shear lock with 2200 lb. holding force on 12/24VDC, monitored, and the Schlage 320M is a compact mortise sliding door electromagnetic lock at 1500 lb. holding force - both are concealed or mortised into the opening rather than surface applied. The DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 is a face-mounted top-jamb assembly measuring 2-3/4 inch D x 4 inch H x 11 inch L that goes on the frame header of a swinging in-swing door, and it carries the delayed egress electronics that neither of those two provides. Choosing a shear or mortise lock means prepping the frame or door for a concealed body and handling the egress delay some other way.
14) Which mag locks are stated as fire rated for a door on a rated corridor?
Of the comparable electromagnetic locks, the Dorma EML310 with door position sensor, the EML310 bond alert with door position sensor, and the double door EML320 are each fire rated and are electrically locked fail safe devices. The DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 releases immediately on loss of input power or on a dry-contact signal from the building's fire alarm control panel, and is not intended for use on emergency egress doors - confirm the door's role in the egress plan with the authority having jurisdiction before specifying it.
15) Will the satin aluminum finish on the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101 match the other door hardware in my building?
The lock comes in 628 satin aluminum, US28. That's the standard clear anodized aluminum finish used on aluminum storefront frames and most commercial header-mounted hardware, so it reads as a match against aluminum frames rather than against brass or bronze trim. If your openings are standardized on 626 satin chrome lever sets, the magnet on the header will still be the aluminum tone.
16) Is the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 rated for a commercial building, and does it run on batteries?
Commercial rated, and it is a hardwired device, not battery operated. It needs a constant 12 or 24 VAC/VDC feed, because the magnet only holds while energized and drops open the moment power is lost. That fail safe behavior is the point on a delayed egress opening, but it also means you need to decide whether the circuit sits on backup power for security continuity or intentionally drops on a building power failure.
17) The frame will not take a standard bracket mount - what mag lock mounts differently from the DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2?
The ROFU 8512 is a standard single magnet with selectable keyhole mounting at 1200 LB holding force on 12/24VDC, which gives an adjustable mounting approach on a header that will not accept a fixed pattern. The DynaLock 3101C-TJ101-G2 is face-mounted to the frame header with an adjustable Z bracket and shim plate supplied for the in-swing door condition. Confirm the header depth against the DynaLock's 2-3/4 inch D x 4 inch H x 11 inch L body before deciding which mounting approach the opening will take.
