DynaLock TJ25 Converts 2511 to 2511-TJ, Top Jamb Conversion Kits Series

The TJ25 converts a DynaLock 2511 electromagnetic lock into a 2511-TJ, which is the top jamb mounted version of the same lock. Instead of mounting the magnet on the face of the header with the armature on the door face, top jamb mounting puts the lock on the underside of the jamb for an inswing door. You keep the lock you already have and change how it mounts.

No. DynaLock top jamb conversion kits, the TJ25 included, are for top jamb mounting on inswing doors. On an outswing opening the magnet mounts in the standard header position and no conversion kit is needed.

Every DynaLock top jamb kit ships with the "Z" armature bracket(s) and the mounting hardware. Kits for the 2000 and 2280 Series locks also include the "L" lock conversion bracket, and since the 2511 is a 2000 Series lock, the TJ25 carries the L bracket as well. The magnet itself is not part of the kit; you are converting a lock you already have or ordering separately.

The top jamb kit family covers DynaLock 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series locks. The TJ25 is the specific kit for the 2511. A different lock in those families takes a different kit number, so match the kit to the lock model, not just to the series.

No. The TJ25 is a DynaLock top jamb conversion kit that converts a 2511 magnetic lock to a 2511-TJ configuration for top jamb mounting on inswing doors, and it includes the Z armature bracket and mounting hardware sized to DynaLock 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series locks. The Securitron SAM Surface Mount Kit Accessories are brackets for Securitron SAM hardware and are a different manufacturer's mounting family. Match the conversion kit to the lock brand already on the opening rather than mixing the two.

Both routes land you at the same configuration. The kit makes sense when a 2511 is already on the shelf, already installed and being re-hung on an inswing opening, or when a standard 2511 is what the supply chain can get you. If you are specifying a new opening from scratch and the door swings in, ordering the 2511-TJ directly saves an install step.

This is a field kit. DynaLock supplies it as an installation accessory with the brackets and fasteners needed to re-mount the lock and armature, so a hardware tech does the conversion on site. Nothing is returned to the factory.

The TJ25 will not help there; it is strictly a DynaLock 2511 top jamb conversion for inswing wood or hollow metal openings. For all-glass and glass front doors, look at the Securitron Glass Door Accessories line instead. If your magnet is a Securitron SAM and you need surface mount brackets, the SAM Surface Mount Kit accessories and the SWB SAM wood bracket cover that.

The DynaLock TJ25 addresses the geometry problem of an inswing door, not the substrate: it converts a 2511 to 2511-TJ so the lock can be mounted on the top jamb. For a wood surface, Securitron offers the SWB SAM Wood Bracket, an accessory intended for wood mounting of Securitron SAM hardware. The two are not interchangeable, since each is dimensioned for its own manufacturer's lock, so choose based on which brand of magnetic lock is on the door.

The DynaLock TJ25 kit is built for top jamb mounting on inswing doors with a Z armature bracket and the L lock conversion bracket supplied on 2000 and 2280 kits, so it assumes a frame and a door with a top rail to take the armature. An all glass leaf calls for a glass door mounting accessory instead, such as the Securitron Glass Door Accessories in the Glass Door Series. Confirm the door construction before ordering either.

No. The TJ25 is an installation accessory that supplies the Z armature bracket and mounting hardware to move a DynaLock 2511 to a top jamb 2511-TJ arrangement; it is a mounting kit, not a switch kit. Signaling is handled by separate devices such as the Command Access REX-KIT-ML request to exit kit for ML1-Series mortise locks or the Command Access SCHLBMKIT-ML latchbolt monitor switch kit with SPDT configuration for Schlage L9000 mortise locks. Those attach to mortise locks, so the right monitoring choice depends on what other hardware is in the opening.

No. The TJ25 is mechanical only, brackets and hardware that relocate the magnet and armature for a top jamb application. The electromagnetic lock's power input and its access control connections are unchanged by the conversion.

Commercial. DynaLock's top jamb conversion kits are commercial door hardware for electromagnetic locking on access controlled openings, not a residential item.

Both are field conversion kits, but they change different things. The DynaLock TJ25 is a mechanical mounting conversion that adapts a 2511 magnetic lock to 2511-TJ top jamb mounting on an inswing door. The LCN 8310-3803 is a 3V wireless conversion kit for jamb mount touchless actuators, which changes how an actuator communicates rather than how a lock is mounted. If the goal is relocating a maglock to the top jamb, the TJ25 is the relevant part.
