Important
- Before mounting exit device to door with glass beading, attach shim kit as instructed.
- Always use the same number of shims for front plate, rear bracket, top and bottom latches, and rod guides.
Determine Correct Number of Shims
Measure depth of beading in door to determine number of shims needed to mount rim, mortise or vertical rod exit device. Use one shim for each 1/8" (3.18mm) of thickness. (Figure 1)
