When preparing to install device, be prepared to prop the door open during
the installation process.
Refer to Appendix A to assure all the holes are in the correct location.
Insert two sexnuts into the door from the outside. Align the interlock bracket
and device as shown and hand tighten top and bottom 1/4 -20 by 1-1/4"
long pan head screws. Hand tighten two 1/4 - 20 by 1" flat head screws into
the door. This will require moving the slide to allow the screws to be
inserted into the holes with the countersinks. These screws should not be
tightened at this time since the interlock bracket will require finer adjustment
in step 6.
Step 5: Install Device
FASTENERS:
With the latchhead loosely in place, level the device and mark
the position of the 3 holes for the hinge end of the device.
Prepare the door per the template (Appendix A).
Insert 3 sexnuts into the door from the outside, place the end
clamp into the space between the rail and carrier, align the
end clamp shim and the end clamp of the device then insert
and hand tighten the 3 pan head screws to hold the end
clamp and shim of the device to the door.

NOTE: If the device has been sized
in the field, a 1/4" (6) diameter thru
hole will need to be drilled so that the
center sexnut and fastener can be used to
secure the end of the device to the door.
If device is furnished with the trim,
the two sexnuts for the latchhead will
not be used. The outside trim studs
will be used to thru bolt the device to
the trim. If trim is furnished, it will be
supplied with two more 1/4 -20 by 1-
1/4" oval head screws that will be
required for thru bolting the trim.
These will be used in the two slots of
the interlock bracket that are not
under the latchhead. Refer to the
trim template for hole placement for
the 2 additional holes required.

Step 6: Install Device Strike
To install the device strike (Fig. A), check to
assure the device is level.
Position the strike so that it is centered in
relation to the SecureBolt.
Add spacers so that you will achieve the
clearance shown in (Fig. B) on the next
page, as well as allow the 3 interlock bracket
tabs to engage the strike.

(4.0 - 5.6)
The interlock bracket does have some side to side
adjustability that will allow a final adjustment after clearance
between the strike and latch head is achieved. This
adjustability will require the 4 latch head fasteners to be
loosened allowing the interlock bracket to slide into the proper
engagement with the strike. Mark the door frame to establish
the vertical position of the strike. Its centerline should be on
the same centerline as the device.
With the door in the closed position, adjust the strike's
position so that when the door is closed, the SecureBolt will
be just touching the roller of the strike. This will allow the
Securebolt to retract freely when the door is closed. Using the
top and bottom slots of the strike (Fig C) center your punch in
the middle of the slot and mark the two locations for the 12-24
x 1" Flat Head screws for the strike. Drill and tap these two
locations. DO NOT DRILL AND TAP the other two screw
locations at this time. Recheck the alignment to the centerline
of the device.
Reassemble the strike assembly and finger tighten the flat
head screws using a 1/8" allen wrench so that final
adjustments can be made. Check to assure you have the
proper clearance between the strike and the latch head, the
interlock bracket is engaged with the strike and the
SecureBolt is not pressing against the roller of the strike.
When you have made all these adjustments you may tighten
the mounting screws so that the device is securely fastened
to the door. Retract the SecureBolt, open the door. Using the
strike as a drill guide drill thru the Locking spacer and let your
drill mark the two locations for the 12-24 x 1-1/4" 5/32 Socket
Head Cap Screws. Remove the strike assembly and drill and
tap these two locations. Reassemble the strike assembly and
secure it to the frame. Recheck the clearances to assure no
further adjustments need to be made.
Check the operation of the device to assure that the strike is
aligned properly with the device.

Step 7: Prepare Top Rod
Product comes with the top rod for a 7 foot (84") high opening. If your opening is less, the
top rod will need to be shortened. If your opening is more, than an extension will be
required and adjustment may or may not be necessary.
To Lengthen Rods
• Use Rod Extension(s) to extend Rod to length needed or
longer (2", 6", or 12" Rod Extensions available).
• Cut excess length from the end of the top rod with the
rollpin hole.
To Cut Top Rods
• Cut from end with pin hole. NEVER CUT THREADED END.
• Press Jig until it bottoms over Rod.
• Drill 1/8" dia. hole thru, 3/8" (10) from the end of the
shortened top rod. Use jug provided to assure accurate
distance.

Top Rod Connector
PRESS FLUSH
Example of opening less than 84" (using 80" as example):
Subtract your opening from 84" and cut off the necessary amount.
84" minus 80" = 4" (shorten rod by 4")
Example of opening more than 84" (actual opening 88"):
Subtract 84" from the size of your opening.
88" minus 84" = 4" (you need a rod that is 4" longer)
In this case you will need a 6" rod extension, and you will need
to cut 2" off the bottom of the top rod (the end with the hole for
the roll pin). Rod extensions are always added to the top of
the rod where it meets the top chassis.

Step 8: Install Top Chassis
Prepare the top of the door per the door template Appendix A. Check alignment
of the top latch location in the frame to assure it lines up with the Top Chassis
pusher.
Insert two 3/8" dia. sexnut into the holes on the outside of the door.
Screw the upper rod (approximately 1/2 of the way) onto the top chassis.
Position the shim and Top Chassis so that the mounting holes line up with the
holes in the door. Insert and finger tighten the 4 mounting screws provided. Note
that the two flat head security screws are for the lower positions.
Depress the touchbar and slide the top rod connector into the slot on the latch
head slide. With the touchbar depressed the top slide pusher should be flush with
the top reinforcement. If adjustment is necessary the rod can be rotated
clockwise to shorten it and counterclockwise to lengthen it.
Install the rod guide for the upper rod per the template in Appendix A.

Step 9: Install Bottom Chassis
Prepare the BOTTOM of the door per the door template Appendix A. Check
alignment of the bottom strike location in the frame to assure it lines up with the
Bottom Chassis.
Insert two 3/8" dia. sexnuts into the holes on the outside of the door.
Screw the bottom rod (approximately 1/2 of the way) onto the bottom chassis.
Position the shim and Bottom Chassis so that the mounting holes line up with the
holes in the door. Insert and finger tighten the 4 mounting screws provided. Note
that the two flat head security screws are for the top two positions.
Depress the touchbar and insert the bottom rod connector
into the slot on the latch head slide. The bottom bolt should
be retracted so that it only projects 1/16" below the bottom
of the door in the latch hold back mode. If adjustment is
necessary the rod can be rotated clockwise to shorten it
and counterclockwise to lengthen it.
Install the rod guide for the bottom rod per the template in Appendix A.

Check the alignment of the top latch location on the frame to
assure it will line up properly with Top Chassis on door. The
pusher in the top chassis is designed to push the top latch up
when the touchbar is depressed.
Install the top latch to the frame using the 4, 1/4-20 by 1" Flat
Head (5/32" Hex Key) Cap Screws provided.
The 5/32 hex key has been provided with the device.
If the frame has not been prepared for installation refer to

are installed.
To install the end cover, position the bar cap into the side facing the
touchbar and place the end cover's lower edge into position on the
rail. Rotate the upper edge on the end cover up and snap it into the
rail. The holes for the end cover will line up with the fastener holes in
the rail. Secure the end cover with (4) #8 by 1/2" fasteners provided.
(2 on top and 2 on bottom.)

Appendix C - Plastic Template
A plastic template has been provided with the exit
device that can be used to accurately mark the vertical
centerline that will be used to locate the vertical rods,
top and bottom latches and the rim device to the door.
For single door installations use the block strike and
plastic template as shown to accurately mark the
vertical centerline.
For double door installations remove the block strike
and use only the plastic template.
After marking the vertical centerline swing the door to
the closed position and visually check to assure that
the vertical centerline of the rods, latches & strikes will
align with the center of the cut out for the top latch in
the frame.
