OPERATIONAL NOTE:
The E-Plex Mortise lock is almost identical to the E-Plex 5000
Cylindrical lock with the following exceptions:
1. Operation of the Lever When the lock’s handing is properly
set, only a downward rotation of lever will actuate latch.
2. Key Override Use The key override differs in that rotating
the key does not actuate the latch. To use the key override
the key must be inserted into the cylinder and rotated count-
er clockwise until it stops (approximately 90 degrees) then
while holding the key in this position with one hand use the
other hand to rotate the lever downward to retract the latch.
Once the lever has rotated a few degrees the key may be
released.
