DynaLock TJ82 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the DynaLock TJ82 conversion kit actually do to a 2282 magnetic lock?
The TJ82 kit converts a DynaLock 2282 lock into a 2282-TJ82, which is the top jamb mounted version for inswing doors. Instead of the mag sitting on the frame face for an outswing opening, the lock gets reoriented to mount at the top jamb with the armature carried on a bracket attached to the door. The kit supplies the parts to make that change in the field on a lock you already own.
2) Do I need a top jamb kit like the TJ82 if my door swings in?
Yes. A surface magnetic lock mounts on the frame face for an outswing door. On an inswing opening there is no face to mount to, so the lock moves to the top jamb (the underside of the head frame) and the armature goes on the door face. That is exactly what the DynaLock top jamb conversion kits are for.
3) Will the TJ82 kit work on any DynaLock magnet, or only certain series?
Model TJ82 is the kit matched to the 2282. DynaLock builds the top jamb conversion kits for its 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series locks, and the kit you order has to match the lock you have. Put a TJ82 on a different series and the lock conversion bracket and armature bracket will not line up with the housing.
4) What is the equivalent of the DynaLock TJ82 kit if the magnetic lock on the opening is a Securitron rather than a DynaLock?
The TJ82 is a DynaLock-specific part: it converts a DynaLock 2282 lock to the 2282-TJ82 top jamb configuration, and the kit ships with the Z armature bracket and mounting hardware, plus the L lock conversion bracket used on 2000 and 2280 Series locks. It will not adapt another maker's magnet. For a Securitron magnetic lock, the mounting accessory line to look at is the Securitron SAM Surface Mount Kit Accessories, with the Securitron SWB SAM Wood Bracket covering wood frame mounting. Those are bracket accessories for Securitron's own lock, so confirm the lock model on the door before ordering either one.
5) Is the TJ82 a field-installable kit or does it have to be factory ordered on the lock?
It is an installation accessory, sold as a kit with the brackets and hardware to make the change on site. A 2282 already in service can be converted rather than replaced with a factory built 2282-TJ82.
6) I am mounting a mag lock on a glass or aluminum door, not a hollow metal frame. Is a top jamb conversion kit the right accessory?
The TJ82 addresses swing direction, not door construction. It gets a DynaLock 2282 onto the top jamb for an inswing door. If the problem is the door material rather than the swing, look at a dedicated glass door bracket set such as the Securitron Glass Door Accessories, or for a surface mount magnet the Securitron SAM Surface Mount Kit Accessories, and for wood applications the Securitron SWB SAM Wood Bracket.
7) Does the TJ82 kit change the wiring or voltage of my 2282 mag lock?
No. The TJ82 is a mechanical mounting conversion, brackets and hardware only. The lock's own electrical characteristics are unchanged by the kit. If you are adding electrical function to an opening rather than changing how the magnet mounts, that is a different class of part, for example a request to exit switch kit or a mortise pin transfer such as the RCI 9500/9501 Series.
8) The door is a full glass storefront leaf - is the TJ82 the right bracket kit?
The TJ82 is built for top jamb mounting on inswing doors, converting DynaLock 2000, 3000 and 2280 Series locks to that arrangement with a Z armature bracket. A full glass leaf usually needs a bracket that clamps or spans the glass rather than one that fastens into a door top rail, and Securitron's Glass Door Accessories line is the set aimed at that condition. Match the accessory to the magnet brand already on the frame.
9) Is the DynaLock TJ82 a conversion kit that adds wireless or electronic function to a door?
No. The TJ82 is a mechanical mounting accessory - Z armature bracket, L lock conversion bracket and hardware - that relocates a DynaLock 2282 magnetic lock to a top jamb application. It changes where the lock mounts, not what it does electrically. A conversion kit that changes the electronic behavior of a device is a different category of part, such as the LCN 8310-3803 3V wireless conversion kit for jamb mount touchless actuators. The two are not interchangeable.
10) We need to signal the access control panel when someone exits - does the TJ82 do that?
It does not. The TJ82 is an installation accessory that adapts a DynaLock magnetic lock for top jamb mounting on an inswing door. Exit signaling comes from a request-to-exit switch installed in the lock or exit device: Command Access offers the REX-KIT-ML for ML1-Series mortise locks, the CRSREXKIT-ED for Cal Royal 22/98 and Sargent 80 Series exit devices with an SPDT switch, and the CYREXKIT-ED for Corbin 5000 and Yale 7000 exit devices rated 5A. Pick by the device already hung on the door.
11) Do I need the TJ82 to get power across the opening to the lock?
No - the TJ82 is a bracket kit for top jamb mounting and carries no power. Power transfer across the opening is a separate item, such as the RCI 9500/9501 Series mortise pin transfer, rated 1.5A at 24VAC with a tamper-resistant design, and the supply side is handled by a transformer such as the Adams Rite 4605, which takes 115 VAC to 12/24 VAC with a 40 volt-amp output. A top jamb magnet job typically uses the bracket kit plus the power components, not one in place of the other.
12) Is the DynaLock TJ82 kit rated for commercial openings?
The TJ82 is a commercial door hardware item, part of DynaLock's electronic access control line, and it is intended for the same commercial magnetic locking applications the 2282 itself serves.
