Locknetics MG Series L/U/Z Bracket, 600lb/1200lb Model

Out-swing is exactly what these are for. The MLBK/MZBK/MUBK brackets mount an MG600 or MG1200 magnetic lock on an out-swing opening, where the mag body sits on the frame and the armature has to be carried out to meet it. On an in-swing door you don't use an L/U/Z bracket at all, you use an inswing header or Z-style arrangement made for that condition, such as the ROFU 21095-INSWING U-bracket and Z-bracket set for full glass doors.

No. These brackets are made for the Locknetics MG600 and MG1200 and the armature geometry is specific to those locks. If your mag is another brand, order that manufacturer's bracket instead, for example the Dortronics 1000 Series top jamb mounting bracket for 1000 Series maglocks, the Dortronics 1100 Series header angle bracket, or the ROFU 21035 L-bracket pair for the 8712.

The Locknetics MUBK U-bracket and MZBK Z-bracket cover out-swing doors on MG600 and MG1200 magnetic locks, with the U-bracket adjustable across both 600lb and 1200lb models. For a full glass door on a ROFU mag, the ROFU 21095-INSWING is a U-bracket and Z-bracket set for full glass doors built for the old 8005 model. Match the set to the lock body and to the door construction, since glass doors need the U-bracket wrap rather than a bracket screwed into a stile.

No, and ordering the wrong one leaves half the assembly unmountable. A header angle bracket carries the lock body: the Dortronics 110730x is an 8-1/4 inch header mounting angle (L) bracket for the 1100 Series, and the Locknetics MLBK L-bracket does the same job on the MG600 and MG1200. An armature bracket carries the strike plate on the door leaf instead - the ROFU 21050 is an armature mounting bracket for the 8512 and 8612, old models 8005 and 8011. Confirm which half of the mag you are bracketing before you order.

Filler plates. A double mag needs two brackets and filler plates alongside them, so budget both when you're pricing the opening. The mags themselves, the MG600 or MG1200, are separate as well. A bracket on its own does not complete the job.

A double mag takes two brackets - two L, Z or U brackets - plus filler plates. That holds whether you are specifying the Locknetics MG Series brackets for MG600 and MG1200 locks or a peer pair such as the ROFU 21035, which is itself supplied as an L-bracket pair for the 8700 Series 8712. Count the leaves before you order, not the openings.

The Dortronics 109x-00 is the bracket for mounting 1000 Series maglocks to the top jamb. The Locknetics MZBK Z-bracket and MLBK L-bracket serve the same header and out-swing mounting role but are built for the MG Series MG600 and MG1200 locks, so they are the choice when the lock body on the opening is an MG Series unit rather than a Dortronics 1000.

Satin aluminum clear, 628/US28, and that is the only finish offered. It's the standard anodized aluminum finish that matches storefront and aluminum frame stock, so on a typical glass front opening the bracket disappears against the door rail.

Commercial. The MG Series brackets are commercial access control hardware, sold to carry MG600 and MG1200 mags on out-swing openings, the kind of traffic you see on an office suite entry, a stairwell, or a storefront leaf. Institutional buyers standardizing a building can specify the same bracket family across every out-swing mag opening and only vary the holding force.
