STEP 1 MARK CETNER LINES

Mark Center Lines on INSIDE of door. Establish the horizontal center line of the device by drawing a line across the door 41″ (1041 mm) above floor line. Establish the top and bottom rod backset center line by drawing a vertical line from the top to bottom of the door measuring from the LOW SIDE of the DOOR BEVEL. After marking & drilling, please install pushbar according to its marked location. With establishment of pushbar, then go for next step of other installations.

Regularly furnished unless otherwise ordered.

INSIDE OF LHR DOOR Is ILLUSTRATED

1. LOW SIDE OF DOOR BEVEL
2. TOP OF DOOR
3. for “FIRE RATED”: please drill 3/8″(9.6mm) hole for sex bolt
   for “NON-FIRE RATED”: please use screw C directly
4. HINGE EDGE OF DOOR
5. FLOOR LINE
6. LATCH EDGE OF DOOR
7. Determine backset “B”
   If lock stile is approx. 4½” wide or wider, backset “B” = 2¾”
   If lock stile Is less than 4½” wide, backset “B” = ½ of the visible width of the lock stile,
   (when door is dosed against stop)

Regularly furnished unless otherwise ordered.

“A”DIMENSION	INSTALLATION
1-47/64” (44mm)	For Surface Strike
1-9/16” (39.5mm)	For Handicap Strike
1-5/32” (29.5mm)	For Mortise in Strike

STEP 2 LOCATE TOP/BOTTOM LATCHES

Follow TEMPLATE to install top latch vertically.
Fix 2 screws (D) in the oval-shaped holes.
(DO NOT TIGHTEN screws (D) temporarily)

STEP 4 INSTALL TOP STRIKE

Follow TEMPLATE to install top strike vertically. After adjusting top latch to the proper gap between strike, which is about 5/64″ (2.0mm), tighten screws (D). Then, fix screw (C) and tighten it.

STEP 5 INSTALL BOTTOM LATCH

Follow TEMPLATE to install top latch vertically. Fix 2 screws (D) in the oval-shaped holes.
(DO NOT TIGHTEN screws (D) temporarily)

STEP 6 INSTALL BOTTOM STRIKE

1. ( Flush strike is for optional. Please use its TEMPLATE for installation)

STEP 7 INSTALL & ADJUST TOP ROD

The rod length can be adjusted by the thread of the rod.

(2). Position rod guide midway between head cover and latch. Then, fix & tighten rod guide with screws (D).

STEP 10 TEST PUSH RAIL & THE DOGGING FUNCTION

1. The latches should engage the strikes when the door is closed. If the door can be pushed open without depressing the push rail, please check the rod length / installation(starting from step 3)
2. The latches should disengage from the strikes freely when the push rail is depressed or dogged down. If not, please check the rod length/installation again (starting from step 3)
3. When applying outside trims:
   (1). No trims: Exit only, latch bolts are retracted just by the push rail inside.
   (2). Entry: latch bolts are retracted by trim outside after setting the trim unlocked.
   (3). Storeroom: latch bolts are retracted by trim outside with key only.
   (4). Passage: latch bolts are retracted by trim outside freely.
4. Dogging: Use alien key and turn clockwisely 90° when depressing push rail. Latch bolts will remain retraced.
