i have this drawing.that one there is actually for a de-energised lock.i have the same drawing but for normally closed locks but its very confusing as it dosnt show how to wire for between the breakglass and maglock very clearly.i can do the rest.just keep getting stuck when it comes to adding the BG

Use the positive in and out of the break glass to the lock.
Break glass broken or pushed, kills the power to the lock.

The negative should be in C, N/C then to negative of mag lock.
