ADJUST AND TEST INSTALLATION
EXIT DEVICE OPERATION
When push bar is depressed and the door is opened, the top and bottom latch should be held retracted until door closes. When the
push bar is released both latches remain in the retracted state. When the door closes and the top latch engages with the top strike,
it releases the holding mechanism and allows the bottom latch to fully extend.
If the latches do not work smoothly when opening and closing the door, adjust the rod accordingly:
If the bottom latch does not clear the strike or threshold:
-
Disconnect the bottom rod from the actuating plate and rotate the rod clockwise, which will raise the rod and latch bolt.
If the top latch does not clear the strike:
-
Disconnect the top rod from the actuating plate and rotate the rod clockwise, which will shorten the overall distance. This
will allow the top latch to completely rotate out of the way of the strike.
If the top latch will not stay in unlocked position after opening door:
-
Check that the latch is not too far away from the strike. If so, add one of the included top strike shims to lower top strike.
-
After adjusting the strike, readjust the top rod length to that the latch falls smoothly into the unlocked state.
