Introduction
Axim Emergency Exit Hardware is guaranteed for a period
of 12 months from the date of manufacture against defect in
material and workmanship. The guarantee is void if the product
has been incorrectly installed or damaged in use. The following
notes provide information relating to correct specification of
hardware and outlines recommended maintenance procedures
which should ensure the hardware will operate trouble free for
many years.
There are many types of emergency exit devices and this
document will cover 3 of those types.
• Emergency exit push handle
• Concealed panic bolt push bar
• Panic Latch push bar.
Some of these types are handed and Fig. 1 explains how to
determine the hand. This is most important when quoting
hardware and helps eliminate costly mistakes.
Six monthly maintenance
Check that the emergency exit hardware operates and the door
can be opened in the correct manner. Ensure the door operates
smoothly and carry out routine maintenance as per door
manufacturers instructions.
With the door open depress the bar or paddle handle and
release, the bolts should remain retracted whilst the door is in
this open position.
The top bolt should clear the underside of the transom by no
less than 3mm. In most cases this will be level with the top of
the door. With the door still open activate the trip mechanism,
positioned at the top of the door on the closing face, the bolts
should throw immediately.
It is important that the catch operates correctly, especially in the
case of fire doors and alarmed door which will otherwise remain
ajar or unlocked. If adjustment is necessary remove the screws
securing the nylon guide block in place. Take care not to allow it
to drop down inside the stile.
Remove the nylon block and lubricate the steel catch until the
spring and catch operate freely.
If the bolt position requires height adjustment, turn the bolt head
until the correct projection is achieved. Ensure the bolt retracts
completely when depressing the panic bar or handle.
Refit the guide block by reverse procedure.
Adjustment to the bottom bolt can be carried out in the same
way.
Check the housing to both door stiles for the push bar type or
the single housing for the push paddle type. The housings can
be removed by slackening the 3 No.15/32” x 1/4” set screws with
a 3mm Allen key. The active housing can be removed from the
door by sliding out the connecting pin from the actuator pin. This
will present the 2 No. shoulder bolts which should be secured
firmly. If an outside rim cylinder has also been fitted 2 No. screws
should also be visible, check these screws are secure taking
care not to over tighten. The operating mechanism can be
lubricated with a spray grease through the actuator pin slot and
the housing reinstated by reverse procedure.
If faults can not be rectified using the information above contact
the supplier for further advice.

Emergency exit push handle / push bar with concealed
locking rods
The emergency exit push handle comprises a handed push
paddle which operates concealed locking rods. This type is
designed for use with hollow doors i.e. aluminium, steel or
PVCu. It is not suitable for timber doors. The push bar type uses
the same internal mechanism which is activated by the full width
crash bar. The mechanism may be connected to either housing
and therefore the unit is non-handed.
It is important to realise the internal handles are designed to be
pushed in an emergency to release the door and although the
handles are used to pull the door closed to reset the hardware.
They are not intended to be used in high traffic areas where the
handles are used to pull doors closed on regular intervals.
If installed correctly the hardware requires little maintenance,
however, the following instructions will extend the life of the
product if carried out on a regular basis.

Panic exit latch
The emergency exit panic latch utilises a push bar which
operates a latch. This type is designed for use with hollow doors
i.e. aluminium, steel or PVCu. For use with timber doors fixing
plates must be fabricated to accept the shoulder bolts supplied.
The latch type mechanisms are handed and cannot be altered
in the field.
It is important to realise the internal handles are designed to be
pushed in an emergency to release the door and although the
handles are used to pull the door closed to reset the hardware.
They are not intended to be used in high traffic areas where the
handles are used to pull door closed on regular intervals.
If installed correctly the hardware requires little maintenance,
however, the following instructions will extend the life of the
product is carried out on a regular basis.
Six monthly maintenance
Check that the emergency exit hardware operates and the door
can be opened in the correct manner. Ensure the door operates
correctly, without binding and carry out routine maintenance as
per door manufacturers instructions.
With the door open, depress the bar and release, the latch
bolt should retract fully and return to its normal position. Each
housing can be removed by slackening the 3 No. 15/32” x
1/4” set screws with a 3mm Allen Key. With the crash bar still
attached lift the unit away from the door.
With a light spray grease lubricate the 2 No. return springs and
internal components. Do NOT remove the 2 No. pozi head
screws at the top of the unit.
Check the 2 No. shoulder bolts to each door stile and secure if
necessary. If the door is furnished with an outside rim cylinder,
check to ensure correct operation and lubricate with a light
graphite lubricant. Do not use oil.
Reinstate the housings in reverse procedure and tighten the set
screws. Lightly oil the pivots through the sides of each housing
and wipe clean. Check the bar is fitted tightly between the
housings. Apply a light lubricant to the roller on the lock keep and
adjust the keep position if necessary. Check fixings are all tight.
If faults can not be rectified using the information above contact
the supplier for further advice.
