Locknetics WMG Series L/Z Bracket, 600lb/1200lb Model

Both are mounting brackets for the WMG600 and WMG1200 magnetic locks on out-swing doors. The L bracket is the header angle that carries the magnet where the frame does not give you a flat mounting surface; the Z bracket carries the armature on the door leaf so the strike plate sits out where the magnet can grab it. Order the pair that matches your opening, and match the size to your lock: the 600lb brackets go with the WMG600, the 1200lb brackets with the WMG1200.

No. The WMG L and Z brackets are specified for out-swing doors. On an in-swing opening the magnet body mounts on the pull side of the header and needs different hardware, so these are the wrong parts for that application.

The Locknetics WMG Series L/Z bracket is built specifically for the WMG600 and WMG1200 magnetic locks on out-swing doors, so it is not the part to order for a Dortronics lock. For a Dortronics 1100 Series maglock, the matching accessory is the Dortronics 1100 Series header mounting angle (L) bracket, DRT110730x, which is an 8-1/4 inch L bracket. Maglock brackets are sized to the magnet body and armature of their own series, so match the bracket to the lock brand and series on the opening rather than to the holding force alone.

The WMG L and Z brackets are for out-swing doors with a conventional leaf and frame. For a full glass door you want a U-bracket and Z-bracket set made for glass, such as the ROFU 21095-INSWING U-Bracket and Z-Bracket for full glass doors. That style wraps the glass leaf instead of screwing into a door face.

No. The Locknetics WMG Series Z bracket is made to pair with the WMG600 and WMG1200 magnetic locks. Dortronics sells its own top jamb mounting bracket for the 1000 Series maglock under DRT109x-00, and that is the correct part for a 1000 Series magnet. Order the bracket that carries the same series designation as the lock already on the door.

628 satin aluminum clear (US28), which is the same anodized aluminum finish the WMG maglocks are supplied in, so the bracket blends with the lock body and with aluminum storefront framing rather than standing out against it.

The Locknetics WMG Series bracket set covers the out-swing mounting for the WMG600 and WMG1200 magnetic lock, with the L bracket carrying the magnet and the Z bracket receiving the armature side, and it is offered in 628 satin aluminum clear. Some other lines split those functions into separate parts - ROFU, for example, catalogs ROF21050 as a dedicated armature mounting bracket for the 8512 and 8612. If you are working on a WMG opening, choose the L or Z model that suits the swing rather than adding a second brand's armature bracket.
