RFID Installation Instructions
Pg 2 of 8
Preparing the door and door frame
1. Prepare the door using the MT RFID installation template or drill fixture. The door edge prep is a standard,
full-mortise prep for a 1-1/4” x 8” front plate (1” x 8” and 1” x 7-3/4” custom front plates are optional).
The door surface holes and mortise are customized for the SAFLOK trim.
Important:
Some holes are only on the inside surface of the door. See the door prep template.
• For new construction installations, the door manufacturer may prepare the door using the
installation template.
• For retrofit installations, remove the existing hardware and confirm that the existing door edge
prep is appropriate for the SAFLOK mortise lock.
Drill fixture:
If you are using a SAFLOK MT drill fixture, position and clamp the fixture on the door. Do NOT drill
the four holes for the card reader as illustrated in Fig. 1 below; instead, drill the hole shown in Fig. 2. The fixture
has two positioning posts that rest inside the mortise, establishing the proper backset for the trim. When the
fixture is clamped, its surfaces should be parallel with the door surfaces and door edges. Not all holes go through
the door (refer to the template). Notch the material on the inside surface for easier routing of the motor wire.
After machining, remove any debris from the mortise and cutouts.
2. Prepare the door frame using the template and install the strike plate using the screws provided
(12 x 1-1/2 screws for wood frames, 12-24 x 3/8 screws for metal frames).
