To Change Hand

All 2700 Series exit devices are handed and reversible. The 2700 is assembled for a left hand reverse bevel door at the factory.

To Change Hand:

• 1. Use 2-1/4" long pin (supplied in screw pack) to knock out left lever pin.
• 2. Remove lift lever and reassemble other end of chassis.

Mark Door

Before starting, door should be fitted and hung. Check box label for hand and size of the exit device.

Surface of the door where exit device is to be applied must be flush. Clear away any raised projections to allow exit device to rest on flat surface of the door.

• 1. Using door template, mark vertical and horizontal reference lines on the door.
• 2. Determine Dimension " A" : If lock stile is 4-1/2" wide or wider, Dimension A = 2-3/4"

If lock stile is less than 4-1/2" wide, Dimension A = 1/2 of the exposed width of lock stile (when door is closed against stop).
