• Refer to trim template if installing trim.

2. SIZE DEVICE

• Standard lengths are for 36" or 48" door. Device must be cut for other lengths.
• Mark length with tape length equals desired door size subtracted from device size (for 30" door = cut 6" off 36" device) ensuring a square cut.

Maximum cut off length:
	Panic	Fire	Alarm	MLR
36" Device	6"	8"	2"	3"
48" Device	12"	14"	8"	9"

• Install device and trim with chassis/case screws (2 or 4 screws depending on device and trim type).
• Device can be surface mounted to the door, optional sex nuts are available, device is through bolted if using trim.
• VF devices must be through bolted on wood or composite doors.

Mounting Options:
Reinforced Steel	Surface Mount: Drill/Tap push side for 1/4-20
or Aluminum Door
Solid Wood Door	Drill 1/8" Pilot Hole for #10 Wood Screw
All Others	Use optional Sex Bolts. Drill push side with
	9/32" drill bit. Drill pull side with 3/8" drill bit.
