TML25 Mortice Latch Body installation
Your
“Adjustable Set Square”
is your friend to accurately mark out this latch.
Decide whether you will be installing the TML25 latch
body
into the gate or post to best
suit your application.
Apply painters tape to both the faces and edges of the gate and post at the
required height.
Mark a horizontal
top reference line
55mm above the centre height of the
Euro Cylinder
keyhole or the flat
spindle centreline of your
Digital hardware
onto both the faces and edges of the gate and post as
ALL
measurements come from this
top reference line.
Mark a vertical centreline where the TML25 latch body is going to be installed.
Use the template provided and align it with your
top reference line
and your
vertical centre line for the body.
Mark the locations with the template and then check measure all hole locations with a ruler.
Make certain that you are exactly 25mm in from the edge for the
centrelines
for the 22mm Euro cylinder holes or
flat spindle Digital hardware hole.
TIP
- Centre pop all hole locations and drill pilot holes to help prevent the holesaws and 10mm drill from wandering.
File off the sharp points between the 25mm holes to allow the TML latch body to slide in place.
For
Euro Cylinder
applications remove the hub by simply turning the hub, and it will slide out.
IMPORTANT
– Insert the
Euro Cylinder
with the offset cam on the faceplate side, otherwise the key cannot be
removed.
Install the escutcheons after the TML25 latch body and Euro cylinder are in fixed place.
OR
For
flat spindle Digital Hardware
, only mark and drill the
top
22mm hole.
Then use the specific digital hardware template to mark the top and bottom fixing hole locations.
WARNING
- DO NOT INSTALL THE
MAGNETIC STRIKE PLATE
UNTIL THE LATCH INSTALLATION
IS COMPLETE
