u bracket for magnetic lock

Product Description

A U-bracket for a magnetic lock is a mounting accessory used primarily to install an electromagnetic (magnetic) door lock on frameless glass doors. It provides a secure mounting point for the magnetic lock's armature plate while maintaining correct alignment between the plate and the electromagnetic lock.

Key features

• 🔐 Magnetic lock support — provides a secure mounting solution for electromagnetic lock installations.
• 🪟 Ideal for frameless glass doors — particularly useful where drilling directly into the glass is undesirable or unsuitable.
• 🔧 Adjustable design — can accommodate different glass-door thicknesses depending on the specific bracket model.
• 💪 Durable construction — commonly manufactured from high-strength aluminium alloy with an anodized finish for durability and corrosion resistance.
• 🛡️ Secure alignment — keeps the armature plate correctly positioned so it makes proper contact with the magnetic lock.
• 🚪 Suitable for 90° doors — commonly designed for doors that open through approximately 90 degrees.
• 🧩 Easy installation — the bracket can be secured to the glass door and the armature plate mounted to the bracket.

How it works

The U-bracket is fitted around the frameless glass door, providing a secure mounting surface without requiring holes to be drilled through the glass in many installations. The armature plate is then attached to the U-bracket. When the door closes, the armature plate aligns with the electromagnetic lock mounted on the frame, allowing the magnet to hold the door securely.

Typical specifications

Specifications vary by model, but a common U-bracket may have:

For example, the YLI MBK-280/350/500GU series is specified for frameless glass doors with 10–17 mm glass thickness, while the ZKTeco LMB-280U is specified for 8–15 mm glass and 280 kg magnetic locks.
