2.0 General Description
The
Unitop Model 1455-3
is a multiple locking device (door lock) for swinging doors. This door
lock is designed for the securing of the “active” (primary) door in a swinging double-door
(“French”) system. This door lock ensures that the active door is securely locked by means of a
central latch & deadbolt that inserts into the inactive door along with two vertical “shoot-bolts”, one
that secures the top of the door to the head jamb and one that secures the bottom of the door to
the sill. A reverse mechanism, contained in the lock case, allows the upper and lower drive rods
to move in opposite directions. The reverse gearbox commonly installed at the end of one rod is
thus eliminated. The locking is more secure and the mechanism is simpler and more practical.
The lock is not handed and is easily reversed with a screwdriver. Its self-adjusting spring latch is
inclined and rounded on both sides. This shape guarantees a perfect closing of the door. An
upward motion of a lever style handle only engages the deadbolt and shoot-bolts
.
They are
disengaged by downward motion of the handle. The handle may be locked from movement by the
use of a manually activated European lock cylinder (optional).
The Unitop lock is suitable for all types of door materials. The door lock-stile must be milled or
equipped with a “Euro” hardware groove for mounting of the locking hardware. The door head
jamb and sill must be able to accept a “thimble” type keep for receiving of the shoot-bolts. The
Unitop model 1455 lock may be installed in private homes, public and commercial buildings.
