DynaLock TJ20 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a top jamb conversion kit for an inswing or an outswing door?
Top jamb mounting is for inswing doors. DynaLock's conversion kits are made to take 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series locks and move them to a top jamb application on inswing doors. If the door swings out toward you and the magnet sits on the header face with the armature on the door, you do not need a conversion kit.
2) Will the TJ20 kit work on a DynaLock 3000 Series maglock?
The TJ20 is the kit specified for converting the 2011 to a 2011-TJ20. DynaLock builds top jamb conversion kits for the 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series, but the kit contents differ by family: the 2000 and 2280 kits include an L lock conversion bracket, while 3000 Series kits do not. Order the kit matched to your lock model rather than assuming the TJ20 covers a 3000.
3) Is the Securitron SAM Surface Mount Kit hardware the same thing as a DynaLock TJ20 top jamb conversion kit?
No. The DynaLock TJ20 is a top jamb conversion kit that converts a 2011 magnetic lock to a 2011-TJ20 for top jamb mounting on inswing doors, and it ships with the Z armature bracket and mounting hardware. The Securitron SAM Surface Mount Kit Accessories are mounting accessories for the Securitron SAM product line, not a DynaLock conversion. If the lock in the opening is a DynaLock 2000, 3000 or 2280 Series, the TJ20 family is the matching bracket set; Securitron mounting accessories belong with Securitron hardware.
4) My maglock is mounted on a glass door, not a top jamb inswing application. What should I be looking at instead of the TJ20?
The TJ20 is built for converting a DynaLock 2011 to 2011-TJ20 top jamb mounting on inswing doors, so it does not address a glass door mount. For all-glass or glass front openings, Securitron Glass Door Accessories are the glass door mounting line, listed at Grade 2. Confirm the maglock model and the glass thickness before ordering, since glass door brackets are specific to the lock body they carry.
5) Is the TJ20 a bracket set only, or does it include the fasteners too?
Mounting hardware is included along with the Z armature bracket and the L lock conversion bracket. What it does not include is the magnetic lock itself, so the TJ20 is an add-on to a 2011 lock you already have or are buying separately.
6) I have a glass door or a wood frame, not a metal jamb. Is the TJ20 still the right bracket?
The TJ20 is a top jamb conversion kit for DynaLock 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series locks and is built around the Z armature bracket for an inswing door. For different substrates, the comparable accessories are different parts: Securitron sells Glass Door Accessories for maglocks on glass, and the Securitron SWB SAM Wood Bracket for wood applications. Match the bracket to the door construction and to the lock brand you are running.
7) Is the LCN 8310-3803 conversion kit an alternative to the DynaLock TJ20 for jamb mounting?
They convert different things. The LCN 8310-3803 is a 3V wireless conversion kit for jamb mount touchless actuators, so it changes how a push-plate actuator is powered and signaled. The DynaLock TJ20 is a mechanical mounting conversion that takes a 2011 magnetic lock to 2011-TJ20 top jamb mounting on an inswing door. A door using a touchless actuator with a DynaLock maglock could need both, for different reasons.
8) I need a request-to-exit signal at this door. Does the TJ20 provide that, or do I need a separate kit?
A separate kit. The TJ20 is an installation accessory that handles top jamb mounting of a DynaLock 2011 maglock and carries no switching. For a REX signal, the kit is chosen by the device in the door: Command Access REX-KIT-ML for ML1-Series mortise locks, CRSREXKIT-ED for Cal Royal 22/98 and Sargent 80 Series exit devices with an SPDT switch, or CYREXKIT-ED for Corbin 5000 and Yale 7000 exit devices rated 5A. All three are field installable.
9) Is the TJ20 kit suitable for a commercial opening or is it a residential part?
It is a commercial door hardware item, used on electrified openings running DynaLock magnetic locks. Property managers standardizing access control across a building can spec the same conversion kit on every inswing door carrying a 2011 lock so the mounting is consistent.
10) Can I order a 2011-TJ20 lock outright instead of buying the kit separately?
The TJ20 exists so an existing or standard 2011 becomes a 2011-TJ20. Buying the kit is the path when the lock is already on site or already on order; it is a field installation accessory rather than a factory-only option.
