Mounting a maglock on a frameless glass door

[Driller]

I have installed electric door strikes before but this is the first maglock I'm doing.

Does anyone have any advice for this re. product make, model etc? Been looking at the GEM range from Gianni.

Looks like I need a U bracket adapter to mount the armature plate to the door. I assume this is held in place with flat ended grub screws and that I don't have to drill holes in toughened glass.

Finally, as it has to have continual current and your average door entry intercom will send 12/24 volts on exit, presumably there will be a relay involved here with a delay timer to cut the current to the mag for 20s?

Thanks for any pointers.

Blimey that fell off the page quickly. No access control bods about?

Brilliant, thanks for all the tips. I have found a kit which looks handy here

although I will have to buy the U-bracket for the glass door.

The keypad has the relevant timer/relay guts insid and the power supply provides DC voltage.

Royce, are you sure the door bracket bolts through the door? I'm a bit worried about the prospects of drilling holes through toughened glass, I was hoping it would be held with flat ended grub screws tightened against the glass face.

Fantastic, thanks again for sharing your expertise!) This is looking really doable now.

Once again Pistonheads shows what a great place it is
