DECISION: HOW TO ROUTE THE MORTISE LOCK MOTOR WIRE?
The
Mortise Lock
body includes a
Mortise Lock Motor Wire
plug that must be routed to
and plugged into the
Surface-Mounted Networx Control Unit
that is mounted on
the inside ("protected side") of the door. HOW this
Motor Wire
is routed depends on
whether the door is
solid
or
hollow
:
Hollow Metal Doors:
Simply route the
Mortise Lock Motor Wire
within the hollow metal door. Skip to
step 12.
Solid Wood Doors:
Use the
Mortise Drill Jig
(part #
N95I1DJ
) to drill a pathway for the wire
within
the
solid wood door (from the
Mortise Lock
body to the
5/8" Diameter Thru-Hole
).
Skip to step 11, below.
11. USING THE MORTISE DRILL JIG
The
Mortise Drill Jig
(part #
N95I1DJ
)
MUST be used with solid wood doors
. For
hollow metal doors, skip to step 12.
PURPOSE OF THE MORTISE DRILL JIG
The
Mortise Drill Jig
is used to drill a diagonal 1/2" hole through solid wood doors to
provide path for the
Mortise Lock Motor Wire
to run within the door and to be
plugged into the back of the
Surface-Mounted Networx Control Unit
.
In the steps that follow, the
Jig
will be secured to the edge of the door (in the
same location as the mortise lock faceplate). The hole will be drilled within the door,
as shown in profile on the template and also in the Fig. 11 "side view" showing
where this
Mortise Drill Jig
is positioned and the path of this drilled interior hole.
11A. FASTEN DRILL JIG TO DOOR
The
Mortise Drill Jig
(part #
N95I1DJ
) is placed into the edge of the door, into the
same mortised opening that will be used for the
Mortise Lock
. Proceed as follows:
Insert
the
Jig
into the
Mortise Lock
opening as shown in Fig. 11A. Secure the
Jig
with the screws provided to prevent the
Jig
from shifting when in use.
Insert supplied 1/2-inch diameter wood drill bit into the
Mortise Drill Jig
and drill the
hole until the
5/8" Diameter Thru-Hole
is reached.
When finished, remove the
Jig
.
