1 General Information (cont.)
d Maintenance
1. Periodically remove covers and coat mechanisms with a silicone-based lubricant. This is particularly
required in corrosive environments for proper product function.
2. Check mounting fasteners periodically. Retighten if found loose. Apply screw locking compound
(available at automotive part stores) or change part fasteners if screws continue to back out.
3. Periodic checks (and adjustments) of strikes are required to compensate for changes in the opening
(e.g. door sagging).
e Shim Kit Option
697F348 Black Finish
• Kit consists of (2) Latch Head Shims (Device Cover seats on shim) and (2) End Clamp Shims (End Cap
seats on shim), (2) Top and Bottom Latch Shims (Bolt Case Mounting Plates seat on shim), and (4)
Rod Guide Shims.
• Each shim is 1/8"(3.2 mm) thick. More than two shim thicknesses 1/4"(6.4 mm), require longer
device mounting screws (not included).
2 Preparation
a Check Before Starting
Unreinforced Doors or Frames (Figure8)
• Doors and Frames with walls having a structural thickness (metal skin plus reinforcement or solid
hardwood) to engage less than (3) full screw threads are considered unreinforced.
• Unreinforced Doors: Use SNB (sex nuts and bolts).
• Unreinforced Frames: Use Blind Rivet Nuts.
• Recommended fasteners for unreinforced openings are not
necessarily supplied by Corbin Russwin (Figure7).

• Depress touchbar (slide should move up). Release touchbar (slide should fall back to original rest
position).
• Activate trim (slide should move up). Release trim activator (slide should fall back to rest position).
• NOT FOR FIRE DEVICES - Depress touchbar, turn dogging key clockwise (bar must remain
depressed, slide must remain in up position). Turn dogging key counterclockwise (bar should
extend, slide should fall back to rest position).

3 Installation (cont.)
c Prepare Rods
Top Rod (Figure16)
• Ready for 84"(2134 mm) Openings
Openings Under 84 (2134)
For top rod cutoff length, deduct Opening Height from 84" (2132 mm).
Example:
Opening = 80" (2032 mm)
84-80 = 4" or (2134 mm) - (2032 mm) = (102 mm)
Top rod must be cut 4" (102 mm).
Openings Over 84 (2134)
For top rod additional length, deduct 84" (2134 mm) from
Opening Height.
Example:
Opening = 99" (2515 mm)
99" - 84" = 15" or (2515 mm) - (2134 mm) = (381 mm)
The top rod must be lengthened 15" (381 mm).
To Lengthen Rods (Figure17)
• Use Rod Extension(s) to extend Rod to length needed or longer
(2", 6", 12", or 24"Rod Extensions available).
• Cut excess length from end of rod with pin hole.
• Apply screw locking compound (available at automotive parts store)
to Rod Extension(s) male threads. Thread Extension(s) until seated
tight over Rod.
To Cut Rods
• Cut from the end with pin hole. NEVER CUT THREADED END.
• Press Jig until it bottoms over Rod.
• Drill 1/8"(3 mm) dia. hole thru, 3/8"(10 mm) from end of Rod.
Bottom Rods (Figure18)
• Ready for 39-15/16"(1014 mm) Floor to device center
To Lower Device
• Bottom Rod cutoff length is distance that device was
lowered below 39-15/16"(1014 mm).
• Add to top rod a length equal to the bottom rod cut.
Example:
Device at 36" (914 mm) from floor
39-15/16" - 36" = 3-15/16" (100 mm)
The top rod must be lengthened 3-15/16" (100 mm)
