DOOR HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
(All 480, 490 Series and
501, 502, 503, 504 Models)
The operation of a door lock is effected b y the relation
of the door handle shoulder screw to the surface of the
trigger lever of the door lock. If there is too much clearance
(lock handle outside push button in the rest position) be-
tween the trigger and the shoulder screw at (A), Figure 17,
the door lock will not release properly when the outside
handle push button (K), Figure 18, has been pushed in to
its full travel.
If there is not enough clearance (shoulder screw (L),
Figure 18, is too long, holding the lock trigger, Figure 17,
inward from its free position), it will be impossible to
unlock the door either with the key or the door lock release
button (button cannot be raised) after the door has been
locked by either method.
To check the door lock and door outside handle proceed
as follows:
1. Open the door and raise the lock bolt to the full latched
position, Figure 17.
2. Press the outside handle push button (K), Figure 18, until
contact at the lock trigger is felt. Measure this travel as
shown at (s).
