5. Mounting the contact plate (optional)
The contact plate is not mandatory according to EN8-20. However, it provides additional protection
against lateral shifting. Especially in case of hinged doors the splint prevents the ladder from being
pushed back into the shaft unintentionally through the door.
Attention: The additional contact plate increases the total installation depth by 20mm.
Drill 4 holes in the ladder beams with the enclosed drill and then fix the plate with the tapping
screws.
To be able to use the splint, a 6mm hole must be drilled into the doorsill..
