GUARDING OF LATCHBOLT
1. Determine proper position of strike by closing
door after mounting chassis and rail. Position
strike on frame or mullion, so that the
latchbolt is
extended/engaged but the guard is held
retracted
. Mark location of slotted holes and drill
and tap (2) holes for the oval head screws
2. For the 59-8800 hardware, fasten the strike to the
frame or mullion with (2) star washers in between
strike and frame and tighten (2) screws.
Ensure
guard remains retracted when door is closed
3. For the 12-59-8800 hardware, attach the strike
to the frame or mullion with (2) oval head screws
4.
Check strike placement again by closing
door and ensuring the guard is held retracted
(latchbolt guarded). Drill and tap (2) holes for
round head screws and fasten strike in place
5. Ensure latchbolt is guarded by depressing it.
The latchbolt must fully project/extend when
the door is closed for the guarding to work. Finish
installation per instruction sheet A6699 and
Section 10 within this manual
