STEP 1: PREPARE DOOR
1. Mark position of holes on the door per template (see figure 1).
2. Drill all holes marked on the door for the device chassis and top and bottom latch mounting
brackets.
3. Mortise hole for outside trim is required.
NOTE; Any hole drilled from the outside, first needs a pilot hole drilled from the inside
to ensure good alignment.

Standard centerline height of device is 40" above the finished floor.
Prepare door for your specific
device per supplied template.

STEP 2: INSTALL BRACKETS, DEVICE & TRIM
1. Remove chassis cover from chassis assembly and end cap from end cap bracket.
2. Cut the length if required.
For user information; This model device has three different lengths:
For use on 3' wide door, device = 33"
For use on 3.5' wide door, device = 40"
For use on 4' wide door, device = 44"
a. The device length is pre-cut for use on 36", 42" or 48" wide doors, no additional
cutting is necessary. If narrow door installation is required, cut device at section “A”
to door width minus 2" for proper fit.
b. Remove device from door, remove end cap and end cap bracket and cut where required.
NOTE: Device must be cut flat with all burrs removed for end cap to fit properly.
3. Mount device horizontally via the drilled holes and secure with supplied
mounting hardware. Attach device to trim or sexbolt.
4. Check that the trim actuator shaft fully inserts into the
device cam (refer to view “B”).
5. Install end cap bracket to device, level device
and mark then drill the mounting
holes. Attach to door with hardware
supplied. Attach end cap.
6. Install mounting brackets to top
and bottom of door.

STEP 3: INSTALL BOTTOM ROD AND BOTTOM STRIKE
1. Mount the bottom latch assembly into the mounting bracket (see figure 3).
2. Screw the threaded end of the bottom rod onto the bottom latch assembly (see figure 4).
3. Using screw supplied, attach and tighten the bottom rod to the chassis at the location
indicated by the arrow in figure 5.
NOTE: If the hole on the bottom shaft connector does not align with the mounting hole in
the chassis, adjust the length by turning the rod in or out of the latch assembly.
4. Install bottom strike into finished floor or threshold, and be sure to align center line of bottom
latch with the centerline of the bottom strike (see figure 6)
5. Depress and release push bar to confirm proper installation.
5-1 Make sure bottom latch can be retracted and flush with
the edge of the door when push bar is depressed.
