1. Mount the cabinet on the wall.
2. Mount the HandyTrac Touch system and control
box on the wall.
3. Insert key panels in cabinet(s).
• Use metal or plastic. Wood and rubber do not hold their shape well over time.
• If the door gap at top is greater than bottom, shim the top of the cabinet at right hand
corner.
• If the door gap on the bottom is greater than the gap on the top, shim the bottom of
the cabinet at the right hand corner.
Cabinet Alignment
Note: Do not place the
manual backup keys inside
the cabinet. They are the only
way to open the cabinet at
this stage.
Check the gap between door and door frame on all sides. If the gap is not uniform all
the way around, the cabinet will have to be shimmed to compensate for the uneven wall
surface.
Familiarize yourself with these steps before you get started.
The basic installation order is as follows:
1. To achieve the recommended height, stack the system
shipping box on top of the key cabinet shipping box.
This will give you a platform 44” high.
2. Place the cabinet on top of the boxes, then place a
level on top of the cabinet.
3. We strongly recommend attaching the cabinet to a
stud. Align at least one (1) stud with one of the six (6)
drilled mounting holes at the top of the cabinet.
4. Use a pencil to mark your holes.
5. When all holes are marked, use screws that penetrate
at least two (2) inches into the stud or wall that are
capable of holding at least 50 lbs. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions for all anchors.
6. Lift the cabinet into place and tighten all fasteners
snug, but not fully. Place your level on top of the
cabinet and check repeatedly as you tighten all of the
fasteners. A
minimum of nine (9) screws
are required
for mounting the cabinet to ensure proper plumb,
squareness, and stiffness.
