For those of us installing your electromagnetic lock, can you please explain better how to actually mount the electromagnetic lock in the jam? The instructions that come with the lock kit are clearly designed in China, and make no sense whatsoever. They also do not cover installation for outswing doors. Your video is the first that i have seen anything mentioned about installing the magnet on the side of the bookcase door rather than the top. For instance, your video shows a "pull knob" on the metal plate that sticks to the magnet when powered on - why is there a pull knob on there, since it is hidden behind door trim and falls between the bookcase and the door jam? It doesnt make any sense. Also, the magnetic lock comes with 2 bags of screws, bolts, allen wrenches, and other miscellaneous fasteners with absolutely no instructions as to what the parts are for. Please help with some explanations!! There doesnt seem to be any way to mount the electromagnetic lock to the jamb, etc.
