If using the installation jig to prepare the door, refer to the
instructions provided with the jig, then proceed with step
6 below.
i
1. Mark the handle ( )
height on the edge of the door,
as determined directly from the
strike.
For ASM, the axis of rotation
of the handle is level with the
bottom lip of the strike.
For ESM, the axis of rotation of
the handle is 1-1/4" above the
bottom lip of the strike.
For cylindrical models, see B2
in Appendix B
2. Align the template along the
vertical center line of the mor-
tise (CL) at the desired handle
height, and tape it to the door.
Mark all holes and cutouts for the mortise in the edge of the
door and remove the template.
3. Locate the two sets of vertical fold lines on the template
allowing you to adjust the positioning of the template depend-
ing on the bevel of the door.
If the door has no bevel, fold the template along the solid lines.
Align the fold with the edge of the door and mark the holes for
the lock. Repeat on the other side of the door.
If the door has a 3º bevel, fold and align the dashed line
marked “H" on the template with the higher-beveled edge
of the door and mark the lock holes on that side of the door.
Repeat on the side with the lower-beveled edge using the
dashed line marked “L". Remove the template.
4. Prepare the cut-outs for the mortise in the edge of the door
using a mortising machine, router and chisel (for dimensions,
refer to template).
Ensure clearance is provided for moving latch parts as indi-
cated on the template.
5. Drill the holes in the sides of the door (for dimensions, refer
to template).
Drill from both sides of the door to prevent unsightly
damage
!
6. For ASM only, check the bevel of the mortise. If adjust-
ment is required, loosen bevel screws (R) and adjust mortise
front plate angle to match the bevel of the door. Re-tighten
screws.
Install the mortise with 2 screws (Q). Use wood screws for
wood doors and machined screws for steel doors.
Install mortise faceplate (P) with the two 8-32 x 1/4" screws
provided.
The ESM faceplate must be installed so you can read the
logo (see arrow in figure above right-side-up for proper
operation.)
