A. Template

• 1. Mark the vertical centerline on inside of door as follows:
  • If stile is 4-1/2" wide or greater, measure 2-3/4" from doorstop
  • If stile is less than 4-1/2" wide, make "A" equal to 1/2 the width of the exposed lock stile (when door is closed against stop)
• 2. Measure 37-5/8" above finished floor and draw horizontal line for active case template.
• Align template (T31207) for active case with centerline and tape.
• 4. Using crossbar hole centers for measuring, draw vertical centerline of inactive case.
• Measure 38-5/8" above finished floor and draw horizontal line for inactive case template (1" higher than the active case).
• Align template (T31206) for inactive case with centerline and tape.
• 7. Position top strike template (T31209) into place.
• 8. Center punch mounting holes for active and inactive case, and top strike.
• 9. Drill and tap holes in door, per templates.

G. Adjustment

• 1. Depress crossbar arm to verify top latch goes into holdback.
• If latch does not go into hold back, pull out the adjustment pin. Rotate top rod counterclockwise one complete turn, reinsert pin and test again. Continue this step until holdback is achieved.

Note: If there is minimal thread engagement with top latch chassis, use lower hole in rod to secure to active chassis.

Note: If rod is rotated too far into top latch, engagement with top strike will not occur or will be minimal. Rotate rod counterclockwise for additional engagement.

H. Top Strike

1. Align top strike with holes on doorstop of frame and secure.

Note: Thick end of strike gets aligned closest to door.

2. Close door and verify engagement of top strike and latch.

I. Mount Bottom Strike

Mark and install according to appropriate template and following notes.

For surface applied strikes:

• 1. Transfer vertical centerline to floor or threshold and mark.
• 2. Center strike on line marked.
• 3. Mark mounting holes. (If using Flush Bottom Strike (S03), mark mounting holes and outline of strike.)
