away from the lock until approximately
n·
(·8 mm.) free movement is obtained. A small
working clearance is essential for the correct
functioning of the lock mechanism.
After successfully refitting the door locks and
remote control, the safety catch controls (Rapier
only) should also be adjusted, the procedure of
which Is as follows.
Check that the catch wires do not foul their respec­
tive apertures, bending them if necessary. Press
the control knob downwards into the locked posi­
tion, screw the knob home, leaving a small clearance
between the knob head and the door sill to ensure
that the full travel of.the control is not restricted.

From inside the door casing remove nut at front
and screw at rear. Both are fitted with plain and
shakeproof washers.
To adjust
On the reverse side of the push-button is a plunger
held by a locknut. The correct clearance between
the plunger head and the lock contactor should be
n·
(·8 mm.) and must be checked when the handle
is attached to the door, through the large aperture
in the inner door.
When adjusting, simply release the locknut and
rotate the plunger bolt in or out as required,
finally tightening the locknut.
To refit
Reverse the removal instructions, not forgetting
the seating washers between the handle and the
door panel.

To refit
Attach the striker unit loosely to the door pillar,
moving to the desired position before finally
tightening the securing screws.
When fitted the unit should be at right angles to
the door hinges.
