Schlage Electronics TJ490 Top Jamb Bracket M490 Series

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ELECTRONICS TJ490 is a top jamb mounting bracket designed for use with M490 Series door closers. It provides a secure, surface-mounted installation position at the top of the door frame, allowing the closer to operate from a jamb-side orientation rather than the door face. This hardware is typically installed by commercial door hardware technicians or licensed locksmiths. The bracket measures 13.46 inches in length, 3.94 inches in width, and 3.62 inches in height, and weighs 5.3 pounds.

This bracket is suited for commercial and institutional door applications where top jamb mounting is required due to frame construction, ceiling clearance, or door configuration. Top jamb installation positions the closer body on the door frame with the arm extending to the door, which is a common configuration in high-traffic commercial entryways. It is sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or licensed locksmith familiar with commercial door closer systems. Before mounting, ensure the door and frame are plumb and that the closer arm travel will clear surrounding obstructions. Secure all fasteners to the frame substrate and verify the closer arm is properly aligned before restoring door operation. Follow applicable local building codes and the closer manufacturer's installation instructions for hardware placement and fastener requirements.
