DynaLock TJ30 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the DynaLock TJ30 kit actually do?
The TJ30 is a conversion kit that takes a DynaLock 3000 Series electromagnetic lock and converts it to top jamb mounting, making it a 3000-TJ30. Top jamb mounting is what you need on an inswing door, where the lock body sits on the jamb face rather than the underside of the frame header. The kit supplies the "Z" armature bracket and the mounting hardware for the conversion.
2) Will the TJ30 work on an outswing door?
No. The DynaLock top jamb conversion kits are for top jamb mounting on inswing doors. On an outswing opening the maglock mounts conventionally under the frame header and no conversion kit is required.
3) Can I use the TJ30 on a DynaLock 2000 or 2280 Series maglock?
The TJ30 is the kit that converts the 3000 Series. DynaLock's top jamb kits cover the 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series, but they are model-specific, and the 2000 and 2280 kits additionally include an "L" lock conversion bracket that the 3000 conversion does not use. Order the kit matched to your lock series, not the TJ30, if you have a 2000 or 2280.
4) What mounting accessory should I use if the magnetic lock is going on a glass door or a wood frame instead of a top jamb inswing application?
The DynaLock TJ30 is built for one condition: top jamb mounting of a 3000 Series lock on an inswing door. For other substrates, the Securitron accessory line addresses them separately - Securitron Glass Door Accessories are for glass door applications and carry a Grade 2 designation, and the Securitron SWB is a SAM wood bracket. Securitron also offers SAM Surface Mount Kit accessories for surface mount installations. Those are Securitron-platform parts, so they pair with Securitron magnets rather than with a DynaLock 3000 Series lock.
5) Do I need to buy the armature bracket separately for a top jamb maglock install?
No. The TJ30 kit includes the "Z" armature bracket and the mounting hardware needed for the conversion. What it does not include is the maglock itself, so you need a DynaLock 3000 Series lock on hand or on the order.
6) Can I field-convert a 3000 maglock already installed, or do I have to order a new lock?
The TJ30 is a conversion kit, so an existing DynaLock 3000 Series lock can be reconfigured for top jamb mounting in the field using the supplied "Z" bracket and hardware. That is the point of the kit: you keep the lock you already own and change how it mounts.
7) Is there an equivalent top jamb bracket kit for a Securitron maglock?
The TJ30 is DynaLock-specific and will not adapt another manufacturer's lock. For Securitron surface-mount maglocks, the SAM Surface Mount Kit Accessories cover the mounting hardware, and the SWB SAM Wood Bracket is the bracket option for wood frames. Pick the accessory line that matches the lock brand on the opening.
8) I have an all-glass entry door with a maglock. Is the TJ30 the right bracket?
No. The TJ30 handles top jamb mounting of a DynaLock 3000 on a standard inswing door and frame. For frameless or glass door applications, look to a glass door mounting accessory such as the Securitron Glass Door Accessories line instead.
9) Is the DynaLock TJ30 a mounting bracket kit or an electrical component?
The TJ30 is a mechanical mounting accessory, not a circuit component. It converts a DynaLock 3000 Series magnetic lock to a 3000-TJ30 top jamb mounting arrangement on an inswing door, and it ships with a "Z" armature bracket and mounting hardware. Note that kits for the 2000 and 2280 Series also include an "L" lock conversion bracket, while the 3000 conversion does not. If what you actually need is switching or power rather than a bracket, that is a different class of part: the Command Access REX-KIT-ML is a request to exit switch kit for ML1-Series mortise locks, and the Adams Rite 4605 is a transformer stepping 115 VAC down to 12/24 VAC with a 40 volt-amp output.
10) Will a conversion kit like the LCN 8310-3803 do the same job as the DynaLock TJ30?
No. Both use the word conversion, but they change different things. The DynaLock TJ30 is a mechanical bracket kit that relocates a 3000 Series magnetic lock to a top jamb position on an inswing door. The LCN 8310-3803 is a 3V wireless conversion kit for jamb mount touchless actuators, which changes how an actuator signals rather than how a lock is mounted. If you are converting a 3000 Series magnet to top jamb, the TJ30 is the part; the LCN kit does not mount a magnet.
11) I need to monitor or signal the opening, not remount the magnet. What parts cover that instead of the TJ30?
The TJ30 only handles mounting a DynaLock 3000 Series magnet at the top jamb. For monitoring and signaling, look at purpose-built devices: the Command Access SCHLBMKIT-ML is a field installable latchbolt monitor switch kit for Schlage L9000 mortise locks in an SPDT configuration, the Command Access CRSREXKIT-ED is a field installable request to exit kit for Cal-Royal 22/98 and Sargent 80 Series exit devices with an SPDT switch, and the RCI 914 Series is a delayed egress sounder with field-selectable volume output up to 102dB. For getting wiring across the opening, the RCI 9500/9501 Series mortise pin transfer is rated 1.5A at 24VAC.
12) Is the TJ30 suitable for commercial access control openings?
Yes. It is classed as commercial door hardware and is an installation accessory within electronic access control, so it belongs on powered maglock openings rather than residential mechanical hardware.
13) Is the DynaLock TJ30 suitable for commercial installations, and how does that compare with other access control accessories?
Yes. The TJ30 is designated for commercial use and is an installation accessory within electronic access control, meaning it supports a powered lock rather than operating on its own. Other accessories in the same commercial access control space carry their own grading where the manufacturer publishes it - for example, the HES 1000-102 rain guard for 1006 Series electric strikes is Grade 1, and Securitron Glass Door Accessories are Grade 2. Those are strike and glass-door parts, not magnet mounting brackets, so they do not interchange with the TJ30.
