The emergency exit panic latch utilises a push bar which
operates a latch. This type is designed for use with hollow doors
i.e. aluminium, steel or PVCu. For use with timber doors fixing
plates must be fabricated to accept the shoulder bolts supplied.
The latch type mechanisms are handed and cannot be altered
in the field.
It is important to realise the internal handles are designed to be
pushed in an emergency to release the door and although the
handles are used to pull the door closed to reset the hardware.
They are not intended to be used in high traffic areas where the
handles are used to pull door closed on regular intervals.
If installed correctly the hardware requires little maintenance,
however, the following instructions will extend the life of the
product is carried out on a regular basis.

With the door open, depress the bar and release, the latch
bolt should retract fully and return to its normal position. Each
housing can be removed by slackening the 3 No. 15/32” x
1/4” set screws with a 3mm Allen Key. With the crash bar still
attached lift the unit away from the door.
With a light spray grease lubricate the 2 No. return springs and
internal components. Do NOT remove the 2 No. pozi head
screws at the top of the unit.
Check the 2 No. shoulder bolts to each door stile and secure if
necessary. If the door is furnished with an outside rim cylinder,
check to ensure correct operation and lubricate with a light
graphite lubricant. Do not use oil.
Reinstate the housings in reverse procedure and tighten the set
screws. Lightly oil the pivots through the sides of each housing
and wipe clean. Check the bar is fitted tightly between the
housings. Apply a light lubricant to the roller on the lock keep and
adjust the keep position if necessary. Check fixings are all tight.
