Locknetics MFP50-MFP63 Filler Plates 628 Aluminum

The MFP50 and MFP63 are filler plates used with Locknetics MG600 and MG1200 magnetic locks. When the magnet body sits proud of, or short of, the header face, the filler plate takes up the gap so the mag lock mounts flush and square against the frame. It is a spacer plate, not a bracket that changes how the lock mounts or a part of the lock itself.

Thickness. The Locknetics filler plates come in a 1/2 inch and a 5/8 inch size, and that is the only choice on the part. Measure the gap between the back of the MG600 or MG1200 magnet and the header face where it lands, then take the size that closes it. Getting this wrong leaves the magnet cocked and costs you holding force at the armature.

No. The MFP filler plates are made for the MG600 and MG1200 magnetic locks, and each DynaLock 4000 Series plate is built to a named DynaLock lock instead: the 4010 for the 2511, the 4011 for the 2000, 3000 and 3101C, the 4014 for the 2268-10 and -15, and the 4020 for the 2522. Because the plate has to match the housing footprint of the lock it sits behind, the DynaLock plates are sized to DynaLock bodies. If the door already carries an MG600 or MG1200, order the MFP plate; if it carries one of the DynaLock locks above, order the matching 4000 Series plate.

DynaLock's counterpart is the 4000 Series filler plate line. The closest analogues are the DynaLock 4011, a filler plate for the 2000, 3000 and 3101C locks at 11 inches, and the DynaLock 4010, a filler plate for the 2511 at 10-1/2 inches. The difference in how the two lines are ordered matters: the Locknetics MFP plates are selected by filler size, 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch, while each DynaLock 4000 Series plate is tied to a specific lock model and a fixed length. So a Locknetics plate is chosen to fill the gap depth at the opening, and a DynaLock plate is chosen by which DynaLock magnetic lock is on the door.

Not on every opening. A filler plate is only needed when the magnet does not sit flat against the header, typically on a frame with a stop, recess, or trim that leaves the magnet standing off. If the magnet lands flush on the header, skip it. Confirm your gap on the door before adding one to the order, because the plate is sold separately from the lock and only in 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch.

For a longer housing, the DynaLock 4000 Series runs out to bigger sizes: the 4014 is a 14 inch plate for the 2268-10 and -15, and the 4020 is a 21 inch plate for the 2522. Those two are the long end of the DynaLock range, against the 10-1/2 inch 4010 and the 11 inch 4011. Note that these are DynaLock plates for DynaLock locks, so going this route means the opening carries the matching DynaLock magnetic lock rather than a Locknetics MG series lock, which is what the MFP plates serve.

It is not a like-for-like swap. The 4011 is a fixed 11 inch filler plate for the DynaLock 2000, 3000 and 3101C, while the MFP is ordered by filler size, 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch, to suit an MG600 or MG1200 installation. The two lines are dimensioned to different lock bodies, so mounting holes and plate length will not line up when crossed. For a fleet where doors are being standardized, decide at the lock level first: keep the MG series and stock MFP50 and MFP63, or move the openings to a DynaLock lock and stock the matching 4000 Series plate for it.

628, also called US28, satin aluminum clear. That is the standard clear anodized aluminum finish on Locknetics MG Series mag lock housings, so the plate reads as part of the lock rather than a separate piece under it on a glass front or storefront header.

It is a solid aluminum spacer plate with no wiring, no electronics, and no power connection. All the current goes to the MG600 or MG1200 magnet itself. The plate sits behind the magnet body and mounts with the lock, so it adds nothing to your power supply calculation or your fire alarm release circuit.

Yes, the MG Series filler plates are commercial door hardware, sold as an accessory to the MG600 and MG1200 electromagnetic locks used on commercial and multi-family openings. For a facility standardizing on Locknetics magnets, keeping both the 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch plates in the truck stock covers most header conditions you will hit across a building.
