• 2) Install outside fronts to mortise locks with (2) #8 flat head machine screws provided.

C ASSEMBLE TOP ROD AND EXTENSION

with step 2. Extension rod and bolt Connector Spiral pin Top rod Connecting tube

1) If rod assembly is in two pieces, continue If rod assembly is in one piece go, to part "D". 2) Slide rod together and align holes. 3) Secure with spiral pin.

Connecting tube Top mount Latchbolt tail NOTE: After rods are installed, doors can be blocked open until chassis is installed. If doors are closed and latched before chassis is installed, the bolts can be retracted from the inside by pulling the latchbolt tail toward the hinge.

2

1) Depress lift arm and slide chassis into rail as shown.

2) Align tapped holes in chassis to C-Sunk holes in rail. Using (2) #6-32 flat head screws, secure chassis to rail.

G INSTALL RAIL

• 1) Rotate link connector up and place rail assembly in door cavity as shown.
• 2) Align C-Sunk holes in chassis with tapped holes in door and secure with (2) #10-24 flat head screws.
• 3) Position mounting bracket to support end of rail and secure with (2) #10-24 pan head screws.

• 1) Rotate link connector down and pull toward mortise lock.
• 2) Align one pair of holes on link connector with mortise tail and secure using (2) #8 truss head screws.

REPEAT FROM PART "B" ON OPPOSITE DOOR.

J ADJUST PRIMARY MORTISE LOCK (LP8600)

• 1) With both doors closed, check for proper top and center latchbolt throw and engagement with strikes.
• 2) Depress push rail to retract latches and open door. If center bolt does not retract to clear the LR8600 outside front, adjustment is required.
• 3) Remove (2) #8 screws from linkage.
• 4) Rotate lever trim to align next set of holes.
• 5) Reinstall the #8 screws.
• 6) Repeat step 1 to verify adjustment.

• 7) If binding condition occurs where top bolt remains retracted and center bolt remains retracted when door closes, remove the (2) #8 screws installed in part "H".
• 8) Install link spacer between the link connector and mortise tail. Reinstall #8 screws. Then repeat step 1.

H CONNECT LINKAGE I ADJUST SECONDARY MORTISE LOCK (LR8600)

• 1) Depress rail and observe center bolt. If bolt is projected, flush or just beyond outside front, adjustment is correct.
• 2) If adjustment is required, remove (2) #8 screws from linkage.
• 3) Rotate lever trim to align next set of holes.

4) Reinstall the #8 screws and repeat step 1.

• 5) If binding condition occurs where top bolt remains retracted and center bolt remains extended when door closes, remove the (2) #8 screws installed in part "H".
• 6) Install link spacer between the link connector and mortise tail, reinstall #8 screws. Then repeat step 1.

• 1) If there is not enough center latchbolt projection and engagement into the other door, the center bolt can be adjusted.
• 2) Open door and depress the activation bolt to project the latchbolt.
• 3) Using locking pliers, grip the latchbolt near the lock front.
• 4) Insert a 5/32" allen wrench into the latchbolt. Pull the latchbolt out until you can freely turn the adjusting screw.
• 5) To increase projection, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise. To decrease projection, turn the adjusting screw clockwise. When desired projection is achieved, rotate the adjusting, screw so the flats are aligned with the 2 press fit pins.
• 6) Release the pliers and allow the latchbolt to snap back.

K CENTER BOLT ADJUSTMENT L TOP BOLT ADJUSTMENT
