Please read the manual carefully before beginning installation
1. The push bar can be mounted in one of two ways, depending on customer needs: Hollow doors using
sex bolts – The sex bolts allow the push bar to be bolted to the door without the screws being exposed
on the outside of the door. Screws and sex bolts are included.
2. Wood doors – Four wood screws are included to mount the push bar to a wood door.
NOTE: When mounting the push bar, use a carpenters level to make sure it is mounted
properly. Measuring from the bottom of the door may result in a tilted push bar, as
the bottom of the door may not be level.

Overview:
Introduction:
Parts List:
Installation:
1. Remove the two end-cap covers from the aluminum top . Remove the two screws on each end, and pull
the end-cap covers off. Slide the aluminum top off.
2. Determine length of the push bar . The SD-961A was designed to fit standard 36-inch
doors. For narrower doors, the push bar can be cut. To cut:
a. Measure the width of the door in inches (NOT mm or cm), and subtract this figure from 36.
The remainder tells how much to cut from the push bar.
b. Remove the end cap nearest the wire connector from the base unit.
c. Cut both the base unit and the aluminum top by the same amount.
d. Replace the end cap.
e. Double-check the length by holding the push bar and aluminum top against the door.

3. Determine the mounting location.
a. In most installations, the end with the wire connector should be on the side of the door near
the hinges to make it easier to run the wires to the wall.
b. The height of the push bar from the floor may be subject to local regulations.
c. The best looking installation will have the push bar centered on the door, as measured from
the left and right. However, before drilling the holes, make sure the door opens and closes
properly. If not, it may be necessary to adjust the push bar to the right or left a bit. (This must
be checked with the aluminum top and its end-caps on.)
4. With a pencil, mark the four bolt or screw holes and the hole for the wires on the door, and put the push
bar to the side. Note: If the push bar was cut, make sure the end cap on the base unit is set firmly
against the base unit before marking the holes.
5. Drill a 3/8" (10mm) hole in the door for the wires. Do not drill all the way through the door.
6. Permanently mount the push bar:
a. For hollow doors using sex nuts. (see Fig.1)
b. Drill four 6mm holes on the inside of the door for the machine screws.
c. Drill four 9.8mm holes, one for each bolt, on the outside of the door in the same locations as
the four 6mm screw holes.
IMPORTANT: The holes must be 9.8mm.No smaller, no larger.
d. Insert a sex bolt in each of the 9.8mm holes.
e. Screw the four machine screws through the
push bar into the sex bolts to fix the push
bar on the door.
f. For wood doors: Screw the push bar onto the
g. door using the four supplied wood screws.
7. Run the wires through the door, and connect the wires to the access control device.
See below for wiring information.
8. Replace the two end-caps.
IMPORTANT: One of the end-caps has a square-head bolt under the round plastic cover. That end-cap
should be mounted on the end of the push bar away from the wire connector.
