Handles

PAGE
Before you Start:
1. These handles have been manufactured to specifications which cannot be altered by the
installer. These include:
a Handle type: the CL400 ADA handle is available in Passage, Privacy and Bi-Parting versions. You
have purchased the Bi-Parting Privacy version.
b Configuration: the Privacy handle configurations include; Snib/Snib, Snib One Side and Snib/Emergency.
c Door thickness range: There are four different door thickness ranges: 34-40mm, 40-46mm,
46-52mm and 52-58mm (1-3/8” to 1-9/16”, 1-5/8” to 1-3/4”, 1-13/16” to 2” and 2-1/16” to 2-1/4”).
Handles for thicker doors are available on request.
d Security: the CL400 handle varies in security depending on the version and configuration. The
CL400 ADA Bi-Parting Privacy configuration provides low level security. It is important to note
that the CL400 handle should not be installed in situations where a high level of security is
required, e.g. external entry points or high security internal doorways.
Refer to the information printed on the Side Handle and Chassis boxes to ensure you have
purchased handles with the correct specifications for your situation. If the specifications are
incorrect you will need to exchange the handles.
2. Component drawings have been provided. Please familiarise yourself with the components and
check the package to ensure nothing is missing. Note: Components may vary slightly between
configurations.
3. To ensure the handles latch accurately, it is essential that both doors are adjusted for height and
are parallel with each other when closed before installing the handles.
4. The CL400 is a metric handle. Accurate measurements are shown in millimetres. Conversions to
inches are approximate.
5. NZS4121:2001: To comply with NZS4121:2001 the centre of the handles should be positioned between
900mm and 1200mm (1000mm optimal) above finished floor level. There must be a minimum clear
walk through of 760mm (Aust. 850mm). There must be a 45mm clear space from edge of pull handle
to door jamb when the doors are fully open. The supplied ‘Down to Lock’ label must be positioned as
close as possible to the locking handle. Consult local standards for guidelines relating to the specific
project.
USA ADA (American Disabilities Act) Guidelines: Handle should be positioned between 34 - 48”
above finished floor level. Allow a minimum of four inches for the protrusion of the door in the
open position. This can be achieved by using track stops or blocking in the back of the pocket.
Consult local standards for guidelines relating to the specific project.
WARNING: THE BI-PARTING CHASSIS CONTAINS A STRONG MAGNET
IRON FILINGS - Magnets will attract shavings from iron or ferrous metals which may be
hard to remove. Keep magnets a safe distance away from these materials.
DANGER FOR CHILDREN - Magnets may cause serious injury if swallowed. Keep out of reach of
children.
CRUSHING, BLISTERS AND CUTS - Fingers may become caught between magnets resulting in
crushing, blisters or cuts.
BREAKING OR CHIPPING - It is possible that magnets could chip or shatter on contact with other
hard materials, resulting in chips flying off at high speed into someone’s eye. Chips can also be
very sharp - treat them as you would broken glass.
MAGNETICALLY SENSITIVE ITEMS - Keep a safe distance between the magnet and all objects
that can be damaged by magnetism (e.g. mechanical watches, pacemakers, cell phones etc.).
DISPOSAL - Magnets should be disposed of carefully and in accordance with your local regulations.
IMPORTANT: Install THIS handle FIRST
