TO OPEN THE CDX-09 FROM THE INSIDE
1. Turn the release knob to the left (counterclockwise) to withdraw the dead bolt.
Note:
When closing the CDX-09, the dead bolt will not extend until the release bolt
hits the door strike as the door closes.
LIFE SAFETY OPERATION
The Life Safety Feature (Bolt Stop Assembly) is provided to prevent someone from
unintentionally extending the lock bolt.
TO ACTIVATE THE LIFE SAFETY FEATURE
1. Turn the dial to the right (clockwise) to withdraw the lock bolt and also the
dead bolt (Extension Bolt).
Note:
The life safety switch can only be depressed while the lock bolt is withdrawn.
2. Depress the life safety switch, located by the LIFE SAFETY label on the dead
bolt, until it latches.
ATTENTION:
To ensure engagement of the life safety switch, fully rotate the
release knob counterclockwise and hold in that position. Then depress the life
safety switch.
Once the Life Safety Feature is activated, the life safety switch blocks the lock bolt
and prevents the dead bolt from latching when the door is closed.
TO DEACTIVATE THE LIFE SAFETY FEATURE
1. Pull the life safety switch outward to release the bolt stop.
