DynaLock TJ80 Converts 2280 to 2280-TJ80, Top Jamb Conversion Kits Series

The TJ80 is a top jamb conversion kit for DynaLock magnetic locks. It converts a 2280 Series lock into a 2280-TJ80, so the lock mounts on the top jamb of an inswing door instead of the standard header position. The kit ships with the "Z" armature bracket and mounting hardware, plus the "L" lock conversion bracket that the 2280 conversion requires.

No. DynaLock's top jamb conversion kits are for inswing doors. On an inswing opening the lock body goes on the top jamb and the "Z" bracket carries the armature on the door. For an outswing door you do not need a top jamb kit at all, since the mag lock mounts on the header face in the normal way.

DynaLock's top jamb kits cover the 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series locks. The TJ80 specifically is the one matched to the 2280. Kits for the 2000 and 2280 Series also include the "L" lock conversion bracket; the 3000 Series kits do not need it.

The TJ80 is a top jamb conversion kit that adapts DynaLock 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series locks to top jamb mounting on inswing doors, and it ships with the Z armature bracket and mounting hardware plus the L lock conversion bracket used on 2000 and 2280 kits. If the opening is an outswing door where the lock body mounts to the face of the frame instead, the DynaLock top jamb kit is not the adapter for it; Securitron catalogs a separate SAM Surface Mount Kit accessory group for surface mount applications on its own maglocks. Match the bracket family to the lock brand already on the door.

No. The TJ80 is an installation accessory that converts a DynaLock 2280 lock to the 2280-TJ80 top jamb configuration on an inswing door with a conventional header, using a Z armature bracket. Frameless and glass door openings need a glass door mounting package instead, such as the Securitron Glass Door Accessories in the Glass Door Series. Those clamp the armature to the glass leaf rather than bolting it through a door top rail.

No, the brackets come in the box. Every DynaLock top jamb kit includes the "Z" armature bracket or brackets and the mounting hardware, and the 2280 version adds the "L" lock conversion bracket. You supply the lock itself and any wiring or power supply; the kit is hardware only.

Just a mounting kit. The TJ80 is an installation accessory, not a lock. It re-purposes a 2280 Series magnetic lock you already have or are buying so it can be installed at the top jamb. If you do not have the 2280 lock, order that separately.

The TJ80 is the DynaLock top jamb conversion for the 2280 Series and is specified by lock series, not by door material. For glass door mounting specifically, Securitron offers a Glass Door Accessories line built for that application, and the Securitron SWB wood bracket covers wood door and frame mounting. Match the accessory to the brand of mag lock you are installing.

No. The TJ80 is machined for the DynaLock 2280 Series lock body and its "L" conversion bracket. For Securitron mag locks you would go to that brand's own mounting accessories, such as the SAM Surface Mount Kit accessories or the SWB wood bracket.

Both are mounting accessories, but they solve different problems. The TJ80 is a top jamb conversion kit for DynaLock 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series locks, turning a standard header-mounted lock into a top jamb mount on an inswing door. The Securitron SWB is a SAM Wood Bracket accessory, which addresses the substrate the hardware fastens to rather than the mounting geometry of the lock. If your issue is that the DynaLock lock body cannot sit where the header allows, the TJ80 is the part; if the issue is anchoring into a wood frame on Securitron SAM hardware, the SWB is the part.

They are unrelated despite both being called conversion kits. The LCN 8310-3803 is a 3V wireless conversion kit for jamb mount touchless actuators in the 8310 Series, which changes how a push-to-open actuator communicates. The DynaLock TJ80 is a mechanical bracket kit that converts a 2280 lock to the 2280-TJ80 top jamb mount, supplying the Z armature bracket, L lock conversion bracket and mounting hardware. Ordering the LCN kit for a maglock mounting problem will not produce any usable brackets.

Yes, it is a commercial door hardware item, supplied for electronic access control installations. It is used where a mag lock has to sit on the top jamb of an inswing commercial door rather than the header.
