Acoustic and draft seals
Metal doors
Should a door have either an acoustic or draft seal around the outer edge it is important that the door can
still easily close without putting undue stress on the latch and strike plate. If this is not the case the strike
plate may need adjusting.
The PaxLock Pro is suitable for installation onto metal doors providing both the width and lockset are
within the specifications outlined on the PaxLock Pro datasheet. To ensure correct operation the following
must be checked:
•
If using in online mode, the bridge may have to be positioned well within the 15m of range as a
metal door will reduce the range of the bridge. To ensure reliable operation, standalone mode may
be more appropriate.
•
The anti-rotation tee nut should be replaced with an equivalent M4, self-tapping pan head screw
suitable for installation into metal (not supplied).
Door Closer
If a door closer is being used it must be adjusted to ensure the door closes without slamming but does
not require excessive force to open.
Door Stop
The use of a door stop is advised on doors that can hit an adjacent wall when fully opened. This will
prevent damage being caused to the PaxLock Pro.
