Commercial Aluminum Maglock Armature Mounting Bracket for Frameless Glass Swing Doors

The BEA 10UBRACKETUL U-Bracket Mounting Kit is a commercial-grade mounting accessory designed to securely attach a magnetic lock armature plate to a glass door without requiring a conventional through-glass armature mounting hole.

Designed for glass doors measuring up to 1/2" thick, this aluminum U-bracket provides a practical installation solution for compatible BEA electromagnetic locking systems.

The 10UBRACKETUL is compatible with BEA's 600 lb and 1200 lb UL-listed maglock families, making it a versatile accessory for commercial access control applications.

The U-shaped bracket fits over the edge of the glass door and uses a mechanical clamping arrangement with protective bushings to secure the assembly. An adjustable aluminum mounting bar allows the armature plate to be positioned for alignment with the electromagnetic lock mounted on the door frame.

Ideal for commercial storefronts, office entrances, institutional buildings, and glass access control doors, the BEA 10UBRACKETUL provides a professional mounting solution for electromagnetic locks on compatible frameless glass swing doors.

Important: This product is a mounting bracket kit only. The electromagnetic lock and armature plate are not included unless specifically stated in the purchased package.

Designed for Frameless Glass Doors

Installing electromagnetic access control hardware on glass doors can present challenges because the door may not provide a conventional metal or wood mounting surface for the armature plate.

The BEA 10UBRACKETUL addresses this by providing a U-shaped mounting assembly that attaches to the edge of the glass door.

The magnetic lock body remains mounted to the appropriate frame or supporting structure, while the U-bracket supports the armature plate on the glass door.

Typical Installation Applications:

• Frameless glass swing doors

• All-glass commercial entrance doors

• Commercial office glass partitions

• Glass doors equipped with electronic access control

• Retail and commercial storefront access points

• Existing glass door maglock replacement projects

Proper bracket placement depends on the door's swing, glass thickness, frame configuration, and magnetic lock position.

Compatible BEA Electromagnetic Locks

The BEA 10UBRACKETUL is identified by BEA as a compatible glass-door mounting accessory for its 600 lb and 1200 lb UL-listed electromagnetic lock families.

600 lb Magnetic Lock Family:

• BEA 10MAGLOCK3UL – Single-door electromagnetic lock

• BEA 10MAGLOCK3ULDS – Single-door maglock with door status sensor

• BEA 10MAGLOCK6UL – Double-door electromagnetic lock system

• BEA 10MAGLOCK6ULDS – Double-door system with door status monitoring

1200 lb Magnetic Lock Family:

• BEA 10MAGLOCK1UL – Single-door electromagnetic lock

• BEA 10MAGLOCK1ULDS – Single-door maglock with door status sensor

• BEA 10MAGLOCK5UL – Double-door electromagnetic lock system

• BEA 10MAGLOCK5ULDS – Double-door system with door status monitoring

For double-door installations, determine the number of mounting kits required based on the number of armature plates being attached to glass doors.

Compatibility Note: The 10UBRACKETUL mounts the armature plate to the glass. It does not replace an L/Z bracket, spacer bracket, or other hardware required to mount the magnetic lock body to a particular frame.

U-Bracket Clamping System

The 10UBRACKETUL uses a mechanical clamping design to attach to the glass door edge.

The mounting assembly incorporates an aluminum U-bracket, set screws, protective bushings, and an adjustable armature mounting bar.

Mounting System Features:

• U-shaped aluminum bracket

• Three set-screw clamping arrangement

• Steel and rubber bushings

• Adjustable aluminum mounting bar

• Armature plate attachment provision

• Glass-edge mounting configuration

The protective mounting components and alignment features help installers position the armature correctly without using a conventional through-glass mounting bolt.

Installation must follow BEA's instructions to prevent glass damage and maintain proper magnetic lock operation.

Adjustable Armature Plate Alignment

Proper alignment between an electromagnetic lock and its armature plate is essential for maintaining the specified magnetic holding performance.

The BEA U-bracket includes an adjustable aluminum mounting bar that allows installers to align the armature plate with the magnetic lock body.

Alignment Benefits:

• Helps position the armature relative to the lock body

• Supports proper contact between the magnet and armature

• Accommodates appropriate glass door mounting configurations

• Facilitates professional maglock installation

• Supports installation and maintenance adjustments

Important: The armature plate must retain the movement specified by BEA. Overtightening the armature mounting screw can prevent proper magnetic bonding.

Aluminum Construction & Finish

The BEA 10UBRACKETUL features an aluminum mounting assembly with an architectural aluminum appearance.

Construction Benefits:

• Durable metal construction

• Suitable for commercial glass door installations

• Coordinates with aluminum storefront framing

• Complements common commercial access control hardware

• Appropriate for new installations and replacement projects

• Compact, surface-mounted design

The bracket is intended to provide a practical, unobtrusive mounting solution while maintaining the appearance of the existing glass entrance.
