INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1 PARTS CHECK

  • 1) MAKE SURE THE CORRECT DEVICE IS BEING USED AND IS THE CORRECT HANDING. (SEE PAGE 12 FOR REVERSING INSTRUCTIONS.)
  • 2) MAKE SURE ALL NEEDED PARTS ARE ON HAND.

NOTE: FULL LENGTH STEEL CHANNEL SUPPLIED BY DOOR MANUFACTURER NOTE: LIST DOES NOT REFLECT ALL POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS

3) MAKE SURE OUTSIDE TRIM (IF BEING USED) HAS BEEN PROVIDED AND IS THE CORRECT HANDING. NOTE: L-CONTROL OR SE-CONTROL TRIMS CANNOT BE REVERSED

NOTE: FOR FACTORY PREPARED DOORS, VERIFY LAYOUT.

  • 1) DOOR MUST BE FITTED AND HUNG PROPERLY BEFORE PROCEEDING.
  • 2) MARK VERTICAL Q, DEVICE REF. Q AND HORIZONTAL Q ON DOOR AND FRAME. (SEE FIGURES AND CHART BELOW)

A. VERTICAL Q.

B. DEVICE REF. \wp AND HORIZONTAL \wp .

3) MARK LOCATION OF RELEASE BRACKET ACCESS HOLE ON VERTICAL & AT TOP OF DOOR AS SHOWN BELOW.

DOOR & HARDWARE PREPARATION

  • 1) MEASURE DISTANCE FROM ROD AND LATCH © TO EDGE OF DOOR ("Y" BELOW): (FOR USE IN STEP 8).
  • 2) REMOVE DOOR FROM OPENING AND LAY FLAT.
  • 3) LAYOUT DRILLING TEMPLATE ALONG HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL CENTERLINES. CENTER PUNCH AND PREPARE HOLES AS SPECIFIED.
  • 4) PREPARE DOOR FOR BOTTOM BOLT GUIDE AS SHOWN ON DEVICE DRILLING TEMPLATE DT-1301.
  • 5) PREPARE FRAME FOR TOP STRIKE PER DEVICE DRILLING TEMPLATE DT-1301.
  • 6) DRILL 1/2" DIA. RELEASE BRACKET ACCESS HOLE AT LOCATION SPECIFIED ON PAGE 2, STEP 3.
  • 7) IF USING OUTSIDE TRIM, PREPARE TRIM SIDE OF DOOR USING SEPARATE TRIM DIRECTION SHEET. FOR SEXBOLT INSTALLATIONS, PREPARE DOOR AS SHOWN BELOW.

8) DETERMINE CROSSBAR LENGTH.

A. MEASURE DISTANCE BETWEEN VERTICAL & AND EDGE OF DOOR (DIMENSION "Y" BELOW). B. CALCULATE CROSSBAR LENGTH "X" USING FORMULA BELOW:

9) IF CROSSBAR IS LONGER THAN "X", CUT THE DEVICE. A. MARK CROSSBAR TO LENGTH "X".

B. CUT CROSSBAR TO MARKED DIMENSION AND REMOVE BURRS.

NOTE: FACTORY RECOMMENDS SAWING RATHER THAN CUT GRIND TO SIZE. GRINDING CAN DAMAGE THE FINISH OF THE DEVICE AND SAWING RESULTS IN LESS DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE'S FINISH.

C. DRILL A 5/16" DIA. HOLE 5/8" FROM THE JUST CUT END OF THE CROSSBAR.

  • 10) IF DOOR OPENING IS NOT 7'0", DETERMINE TOP ROD LENGTH BASED ON A 40-1/4" DEVICE REF. C FROM THE FINISHED FLOOR. L
    • A. FOR DOOR OPENINGS UNDER 7'0":
      • 1. SUBTRACT DOOR OPENING FROM 7'0".
      • 2. SUBTRACT ANSWER FROM PREVIOUS STEP FROM 37-1/4" TO DETERMINE TOP ROD LENGTH. (EXAMPLE: 6'8" OPENING: 7'0" - 6'8" = 4"; 37-1/4" - 4" = 33-1/4" TOP ROD)
    • B. FOR DOOR OPENINGS OVER 7'0":
      • 1. SUBTRACT 7'0" FROM DOOR OPENING.
      • 2. ADD ANSWER FROM PREVIOUS STEP TO 37-1/4" TO DETERMINE TOP ROD LENGTH. (EXAMPLE: 8'10" OPENING: 8'10" - 7'0" = 22"; 37-1/4" + 22" = 59-1/4" TOP ROD)

11) MODIFY TOP ROD TO REQUIRED LENGTH.

A. FOR TOP RODS THAT ARE TOO LONG, FOLLOW PROCEDURE BELOW TO CUT ROD TO SIZE.

1. MARK ROD TO REQUIRED LENGTH.

NOTE: ROD MUST BE MEASURED FROM THREADED PORTION OF ROD.

DO NOT CUT ROD AT END WITH INTERNAL THREADS.

2. CUT ROD AT MARKED LOCATION.

3. DRILL COTTER KEY CONNECTION HOLE. DRILL 1/8" DIA. HOLE THRU ON VERTICAL ROD 7/16" FROM END OF ROD JUST CUT.

B. FOR TOP RODS THAT ARE TOO SHORT, FOLLOW PROCEDURE BELOW:

1. ATTACH EXTENSION RODS TO THREADED SECTION OF TOP ROD.

  • 2. CHECK TOP ROD AND EXTENSION ROD ASSEMBLY FOR STRAIGHTNESS.
  • 3. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO MARK, CUT AND DRILL TOP ROD (SEE ABOVE).

4 OPERATIONAL REVIEW

B. USING A SMALL FLAT-BLADE SCREW DRIVER, PUSH IN GENTLY ON THE TWO ADJUSTMENT PINS AND TURN. THE ROD CONNECTOR SCREW WILL ROTATE. (THIS IS THE VERTICAL ROD ADJUSTMENT FEATURE).

5 CONCEALED VERTICAL ROD ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION

  • 1) INSTALL TOP LATCH BRACKETS TO TOP OF CHANNEL WITH #10-24x3/4" PPHMS (2 QTY. PER BRACKET)
  • 2) THREAD BOTH THE TOP ROD AND BOTTOM ROD & BOLT ASSEMBLY ONTO THE CENTERSLIDE CONNECTORS. INSERT COTTER KEY THRU ROD AND ROD CONNECTORS AND BEND, ASSEMBLING THE ROD AND TOP LATCH TOGETHER.

3) LAY TOP LATCH, RODS AND CENTERSLIDE ASSEMBLY ONTO SURFACE OF DOOR (AS SHOWN BELOW). ALIGN ASSEMBLY AS IF IT WAS INSTALLED INSIDE THE DOOR AND PERFORM ADJUSTMENT AS DETAILED BELOW.

4) PICK UP THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY AND INSERT BOTTOM ROD AND BOLT ASSEMBLY INTO TOP LATCH CUT-OUT. SLIDE ASSEMBLY THRU DOOR UNTIL THE TOP LATCH SEATS INTO THE MATING PREPARATION. ATTACH CENTERSLIDE, TOP LATCH, AND BOTTOM BOLT GUIDE TO DOOR USING SCREWS LISTED BELOW:

TOP LATCH: #10-24x3/4" FPHMS (6 QTY) CENTERSLIDE: #8-32x3/8" UFPHMS (2 QTY)

BOTTOM BOLT GUIDE: #10x1-1/4" FPHSMS (3 QTY)

5) WITH THE TOP LATCH PROJECTING, TURN THE TOP ADJUSTMENT PIN CLOCKWISE (MOVING THE LIFT TAB TOWARDS THE TOP LATCH) OR COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (MOVING THE LIFT TAB TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR) UNTIL THE LIFT TAB IS POSITIONED LIKE THIS
