Product Overview
The Lockwood EMZ8B-SLZ Single L&Z Bracket is a mounting accessory designed specifically for the Lockwood EMZ8 electromagnetic maglock series. This bracket provides a reliable installation solution when mounting a magnetic lock on inward-opening doors where a standard surface mount configuration is not suitable. Its L and Z bracket configuration positions the magnet and armature plate correctly, ensuring proper alignment and dependable magnetic locking performance in access control installations.
Why Choose the EMZ8B-SLZ
The EMZ8B-SLZ bracket is designed to simplify professional electromagnetic lock installations while maintaining correct alignment between the magnet and armature plate. When doors open inward, a standard installation may not allow the magnet and plate to meet correctly. The L&Z bracket configuration solves this by repositioning the mounting points so the maglock can operate at its full holding strength. Its durable cast aluminium construction and adjustable mounting points provide installers with a dependable and flexible solution for a wide range of door types and frame configurations.

FAQs
- What is an L&Z bracket used for?
An L&Z bracket is used when installing electromagnetic locks on inward-opening doors where a standard mounting position will not allow the magnet and armature plate to meet correctly. The bracket repositions the components so the magnetic surfaces align properly, allowing the maglock to achieve its rated holding strength. - Which maglocks are compatible with the EMZ8B-SLZ bracket?
This bracket is designed specifically for the Lockwood EMZ8 single electromagnetic maglock. It ensures correct positioning of the magnet and armature plate for reliable locking performance. - Why is proper maglock alignment important?
Electromagnetic locks rely on full surface contact between the magnet and armature plate to achieve their rated holding force. If these components are misaligned, the magnetic bond can be reduced significantly. Using the correct bracket helps maintain alignment and reliable locking performance.
