Caution: Check the operation of the latch by
making sure that the deadlatch (a) stops
against the strike (b) as shown and does not
slide into the strike opening when the door
is closed. If that situation occurs, then a
total lockout may occur. This will void our
warranty of the complete lock mechanism.
If necessary, correct the door over-travel by
using the rubber bumpers as described in
Section N (Installing Rubber Bumpers).
N. INSTALLING RUBBER BUMPERS

and the frame on the three sides of the frame
(left, right, and top).

protective backing without touching the

operated normally during this time.
