OPTIONAL TRIM
1686 CONCEALED EXIT DEVICE LEVER HANDLE TRIM ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Trim mounting base is non-handed to accommodate a left or right handle application. To construct a left hand (LH) lever handle, rotate cam
clockwise making sure the cam pin aligns with slot on left side of cam guide. (See Illustration below) Once the pin is in position, slightly push up
and hold cam guide and cam while inserting lever handle firmly into place within the trim mounting base. To construct a right hand (RH) lever
handle, follow the same procedure as above to accommodate opposite handing.
2) Assemble (1) 1/4" -20 x 1/2" Phillips pan head fastener with (1) steel flat washer and (1) lock washer to secure lever handle to trim mounting base.
3) Insert 15/16" key cylinder (dummy cylinder on inactive door leaf) into top hole of trim mounting base. Align mounting guide plate to key cylinder and
secure with retaining ring.
4) When using a key cylinder longer than 15/16", cylinder rings will be required to maintain a 1/8" cylinder projection. When using a dummy cylinder
on inactive door leafs, place the lock arm switch in a lock position to disable the lever handle function.
5) Prior to installation of trim mounting base, the cylinder dogging pawl must be removed on both active and inactive door leafs. (See page 1 for
cylinder dogging pawl removal)
6) Find (1) 1/4"-20 x 3/4" Phillips pan head fastener and apply several drops of thread locker liquid to lower threads. Install Phillips pan head fastener
into trim mounting base and set to accommodate a 1/8" (Standard/Thermal door) or 3/16" (Heavy Wall) wall thickness. (Fastener may require
additional adjustment to ensure that trim mounting base is fully secured into position.)
7) On exterior side of door stile, position lever handle trim assemble into cutout, just below the fastener slot cutout. Being careful not to scratch the
exposed finish surface, slide lever handle trim assemble up to engage fastener into slot.
8) On interior side of door stile, install (1) fastener (see below) through door to secure lever handle trim assembly in position.
(1) #10-24 x 2 1/4" FHMS for Standard 1-3/4" doors
(1) #10-24 x 2-1/2" FHMS for Heavy Wall 2" doors
(1) #10-24 x 2-3/4" FHMS for Thermal 2-1/4" doors
9) Lever handle trim assemble should be tightly secured to ensure that hardware is placed square upon door stile and cannot be moved.
10) Upon completion, insert cylinder key and turn clockwise to unlock, then counter- clockwise to lock.

KAWNEER 1686 CONCEALED EXIT DEVICE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FEBRUARY, 2015
FINAL ASSEMBLY:
1) Slide pivot stile filler into device, attach pivot stile end cap with fasteners provided.
2) Slide lock stile filler into device, install cover over brackets on lock stile and attach with fasteners provided.
3) Stand door in the vertical position and place on blocks to test operation.
4) Factory supplied doors will be adjusted per the following requirements. Top bolt should extend approximately 9/16" beyond door stile when
utilizing the header/transom “hump back” strike plate in conjunction with exterior cylinder dogging. Bottom bolt should extend approximately
1/2" beyond door stile. Applying the header/transom “hump back” strike plate will allow the top and bottom bolts to remain retracted within
the bolt guide trigger mechanism when push pad is not completely depressed.
Doors produced prior to 2012 without the header/transom “hump back” strike plate prep can adjust the top bolt approximately 7/16" to allow
the top and bottom bolts to remain retracted within the bolt guide trigger mechanism when push pad is not completely depressed.
Note: This adjustment may cause the exterior cylinder dogging function to be inoperable. If exterior cylinder dogging is required readjust the
rods to extend approximately 1/2" to 9/16" beyond the door stile. Field conditions may cause these dimensions to vary slightly.
5) Depress push bar, the top bolt will lock in the retracted position. If locking does not occur readjust top bolt with half turn increments until
locking occurs.
6) Bottom bolt should be flush with end of stile to approximately 1/16" projection beyond the end of door stile in a retracted position.
7) Release the bolts by depressing the trigger at top bolt guide.
EXTERIOR CYLINDER DOGGING:
1) Door must be in an open position with top bolt in a retracted position.
2) Insert key, turn counterclockwise until rods are retracted, top bolt should be captured within the trigger mechanism.
3) Return key to vertical position.
4) With rods in the retracted position, turn key clockwise approximately 1/8" of a turn to activate exterior dogging. If exterior dogging does not
function, readjust top bolt with half turn increments until locking occurs.
5) Return to vertical position and remove key.
6) Turn key counterclockwise to unlock position to release exterior dogging, remove key.
TOP BOLT FABRICATION (for 190, 350, and 500 door only):
1) Fabricate header/transom for top bolt cutout as indicated below, for single or pairs of doors.
2) The “hump back” strike plate will be positioned upon the header/transom with the hump facing toward exterior side of framing system.
3) Insert “hump back” strike plate and attach with fasteners provided.
Note: Once the top bolt passes beneath the “hump back” strike plate, this will force the top bolt to be push down an additional 3/32" allow
the top and bottom bolts to remain retracted within the bolt guides when push pad is not completely engaged. This strike plate is designed to
accommodate a 1/8" gap between top or door and header/transom.
