Mount the
strike at least
4"
from the
top of the
NON-HINGED
EDGE
of the
refrigerator.
There are two main parts of this installation: installing the strike and installing the
eLock assembly. The strike and the eLock assembly can be mounted either with foam
tape or by drilling holes and using screws. It is important to note that mounting the
strike and the eLock assembly are independent of each other. One can be foam
tape mounted, and one can be drill mounted if desired. The two do not need to be
mounted using the same method.
Install the strike
Step
1:
Foam Tape Installation
: Option A
Please note that if foam tape installation
of the strike is used, the strike will
not
be
adjustable once it's put in place.
a. Clean the side of the refrigerator as well
as the strike with rubbing alcohol. Wait
for the alcohol to dry.
b. Along the non-hinged side of the
refrigerator, make a mark 6-7/8” from
the front edge of door and a minimum of
4” from the top. Measure from this line to
the front of the cabinet (dim. “A”); cut a
piece of tape this length.
c. Remove tape backer and apply tape.
Line up end of strike with the 6-7/8”
mark on side of refrigerator. Ensure strike
is level, and apply using firm pressure.
Install plastic strike cover on metal strike.
Proceed to step 3.
Note:
The end of the metal
strike needs to curve
out.
Option B
Option A
Drilling Installation
: Option B
a. Before drilling, verify that there are no
refrigerant lines inside the side of the
refrigerator.
b. Drill a 9/64” hole, 5-7/8” back from
the edge of the front of the refrigerator
door and at least 4” from the top of the
non-hinged edge of the refrigerator.
• VERIFY ELOCK OPERATION BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION •
a. Remove the plastic cover from the strike plate. Drill 9/64"
hole in second opening of strike.
b. If adjustment of strike is needed, loosen the first strike
screw and adjust the strike. Tighten the screw.
c. Drill hole for second screw and install second screw.
d. Attach the plastic strike cover with two tamper resistant
machine screws.
Finish installation of the strike (ONLY
if drilled installation of strike was used)
