The ES8100 glass door kit is the ideal solution when it comes to 180° swing through doors or double action glass doors. Until now we had to rely on other products for these applications. This bracket works in conjunction with the ES8100 and is not limited to glass thickness. As we know there are many factors that cause side load/pressure, the ES88100 resolves this problem and still offer a secure and reliable locking solution that is aesthetically appealing for glass doors.
As per the 3M published data and given the surface area of the V-lock glass door housing (around 20 sqin), this equates to around 900kg holding force under laboratory conditions. The actual shatter point of glass varies from door to door depending on the condition of the glass, (scratches, chips etc). But any attempt to leverage a glass door beyond 500kg will more than likely shatter it.
