KAWNEER 1686 CONCEALED EXIT DEVICE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FEBRUARY, 2015
OPTIONAL TRIM
1686 CONCEALED EXIT DEVICE LEVER HANDLE TRIM ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Trim mounting base is non-handed to accommodate a left or right handle application. To construct a left hand (LH) lever handle, rotate cam
clockwise making sure the cam pin aligns with slot on left side of cam guide. (See Illustration below) Once the pin is in position, slightly push up
and hold cam guide and cam while inserting lever handle firmly into place within the trim mounting base. To construct a right hand (RH) lever
handle, follow the same procedure as above to accommodate opposite handing.
2) Assemble (1) 1/4" -20 x 1/2" Phillips pan head fastener with (1) steel flat washer and (1) lock washer to secure lever handle to trim mounting base.
3) Insert 15/16" key cylinder (dummy cylinder on inactive door leaf) into top hole of trim mounting base. Align mounting guide plate to key cylinder and
secure with retaining ring.
4) When using a key cylinder longer than 15/16", cylinder rings will be required to maintain a 1/8" cylinder projection. When using a dummy cylinder
on inactive door leafs, place the lock arm switch in a lock position to disable the lever handle function.
5) Prior to installation of trim mounting base, the cylinder dogging pawl must be removed on both active and inactive door leafs. (See page 1 for
cylinder dogging pawl removal)
6) Find (1) 1/4"-20 x 3/4" Phillips pan head fastener and apply several drops of thread locker liquid to lower threads. Install Phillips pan head fastener
into trim mounting base and set to accommodate a 1/8" (Standard/Thermal door) or 3/16" (Heavy Wall) wall thickness. (Fastener may require
additional adjustment to ensure that trim mounting base is fully secured into position.)
7) On exterior side of door stile, position lever handle trim assemble into cutout, just below the fastener slot cutout. Being careful not to scratch the
exposed finish surface, slide lever handle trim assemble up to engage fastener into slot.
8) On interior side of door stile, install (1) fastener (see below) through door to secure lever handle trim assembly in position.
(1) #10-24 x 2 1/4" FHMS for Standard 1-3/4" doors
(1) #10-24 x 2-1/2" FHMS for Heavy Wall 2" doors
(1) #10-24 x 2-3/4" FHMS for Thermal 2-1/4" doors
9) Lever handle trim assemble should be tightly secured to ensure that hardware is placed square upon door stile and cannot be moved.
10) Upon completion, insert cylinder key and turn clockwise to unlock, then counter- clockwise to lock.
