Installing the FMK-SW on a Swinging Gate

Perform a Pre-Installation Survey
It is recommended that an initial physical survey and assessment be made of the actual area where the FMK-SW be installed to determine the optimal method of mounting prior to installation. The following should be considered:

• The physical strength of mounting areas: It is recommended that the structural integrity of mounting surfaces be strong enough to meet or exceed the holding force of the lock product (Maglock or GL1).
• Protection of the lock from external attack: The lock and the wiring must be protected to a reasonable degree from potential damage due to intruders or vandals.
• Convenience and accessibility of the area to be protected: The lock assembly should be installed in a location that will not hinder or create a potential safety hazard to authorized personnel routinely accessing the protected area.
