1. PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
The 2015 is designed to operate surface-mounted rim style exit devices, with a
maximum hub rotation of 90° clockwise, which is required to fully retract the exit
device latch. The 2015 replaces most key cylinders on new or existing exit
devices.
A standard pull can be mounted below the 2015 to pull the door open.
The 2015 cannot be used with thumb operated, mortise design, or vertical rod
devices.
The 2015 can be installed on wood or metal doors measuring 1
3

" (35 mm) to
2
1
⁄

" (64 mm) thick with a minimum stile (the width of clear mounting surface)
of 3
1
⁄8
" (79 mm). The exit device used should have a minimum backset of 1
9
⁄
16
"
(40 mm). Backset is the distance from the center of the key cylinder hole to the
edge of the door.
The exit device can be locked in the unlocked position “dogged” without affecting
the operation of the 2015.
