If top latch does not engage properly, check alignment. When locked, latch bolt
should not be preloaded by strike (
Area A
). Shim or reposition strike if necessary.
Bolts extend automatically when door closes and top strike hits tripping lever. Top
bolt should retract flat. Bottom bolt should travel 1/2" and engage 3/8" into strike in
down position, without dragging on floor surface in up position.
Rod Adjustment
1. Remove active case cover screws and cover.
2. Remove rod guide cover screws and rod guide covers. Tilt rods, top and bot-
tom, out of engagement in active case and out of rod guides.
3.
Adjust top rod first.
Push up on top rod to fully retract top latch with hold back
feature engaged. With device in dogged position (panic devices) or touch-bar
fully depressed (fire devices), adjust top rod so that the square head of the rod
connector slides into engagement in the active case . Shorten rod an additional
1/2 turn.
4.
Adjust bottom rod.
With top rod engaged, top latch retracted in hold back posi-
tion, and touch bar dogged or fully depressed, adjust bottom rod so that the dead-
bolt clears the strike by 1/16". The bottom rod should be in position in the active
case with the square head of the connector hanging in the slide.
5.
Check device operation
by opening and closing the door. When present,
operate the device with the outside trim. An additional minor adjustment may be
required for full retraction and correct strike engagement.
6. Reinstall the rod guide covers and the active case cover.
Maintenance
1. Periodically remove covers and coat mechanisms with an appropriate lubricant.
This is regularly required in corrosive environments for proper product operation.
2. Check mounting fasteners periodically. Retighten if found loose. Apply screw
locking compound or change part fasteners if screws continue to back out.
3. Periodic checks and adjustments of rods may be required to compensate for
door or frame sag.
