Mark Rim Exit Device and Strike Locations
Note:
Door must be fitted and hung properly before proceeding.
1.
With the door closed, establish the Rim Exit Device horizontal reference centerline by measuring 40-1/4”
from the finished floor surface.
Note:
The 40-1/4” distance from the finished floor surface to the Rim Exit Device horizontal reference
centerline is a suggested distance, and may be varied to meet application requirements. However,
in no case should this distance be greater than 48” due to National Fire Protection Association code
requirements.
2.
Using a level, draw a horizontal line on the door
as shown in Figure 2. Transfer the Rim Exit
Device horizontal reference centerline to the
door jamb stop face.
3.
Establish the Rim Exit Device vertical reference
centerline by measuring 2-1/4” from the face of
the door jamb stop along the Rim Exit Device
horizontal reference centerline as shown in
Figure 3. Using a level, mark the Rim Exit
Device vertical reference centerline on the door
approximately 13½ inches above and 9½
inches below the Rim Exit Device horizontal
reference centerline as shown in Figure 4.
