End Plate Installation Instructions:
End Plate
1. The automatic door bottom must be correctly installed and adjusted in
accordance with the installation instructions furnished with this product
(see other side).
2. Be sure that the drop bar (part that contains the seal) does not project
beyond the end of the case when the actuation plunger is depressed (as
shown in Figure 7). If it does project beyond the case, it was improperly
trimmed in the field. This condition can be corrected by removing the unit
and trimming the excess.
NOTE: Under no condition should the insert project beyond the edge of
the case.
Figure 7 - Improper Drop Bar
This shows an improper drop
bar protruding from the end of
the case. The drop bar should be
flush at both ends.

3. Insert the No. 10 x 1/2” flat head screw into the central opening of the endplate and tighten with a small Phillips
screwdriver. Insert the end plate into the case at the lock edge side of the door. Power drivers are not suggested
as they may over-tighten the screw and possibly break the end plate (as shown in Figure 8).
4. Next insert the plunger end plate with the hexagon hole. This pushes straight in. It also serves to prevent the
plunger from rotating and changing adjustment (as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10). If this end plate needs to
be removed for readjustment, it can be removed in two ways: (1) push the drop bar towards the hinge side of the
door and it will eject the end plate; (2) prying at the top of the end plate with a knife or other tool. Do not pry at
the bottom. This will cause it to break.

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL END PLATES.
IMPORTANT! These parts are made from glass filled nylon. They are very strong, but brittle. Do not attempt to twist or
bend them or they will break. This is not a problem if properly installed or removed.
