Hardware Preparation
Before installing the Rim Exit Device and Outside Lever Trim, it is necessary to:
1.
Cut Lever Spindle and Rim Cylinder Tailpiece to length.
2.
Determine Rim Exit Device length required and cut device to length and drill.
Note: The electric locking trim fail secure rim device cannot be re-handed.
Details on each of these items follow.
Cut Lever Spindle and Rim Cylinder Tailpiece to Length
1.
Position the outside lever trim on the door and measure the Lever Spindle and Cylinder Tailpiece as they
extend through the door.
2.
If necessary, cut the Lever Spindle to extend beyond inside face of door by 5/8”.
3.
If necessary, cut the cylinder tailpiece to extend beyond inside face of door by 5/16” - 3/8”.
Determine Rim Exit Device Length, Cut to Length and Drill End Cap Mounting Hole
1.
Determine the Rim Exit Device length.
A. Locate the Rim Exit Device vertical reference centerline on the door.
B. Measure the distance “Y” from the Rim Exit Device vertical reference centerline to the door jamb stop
surface on the hinge side.
C. Subtract 1” for recommended clearance.
D. Length of Rim Exit Device from vertical reference centerline “X”.
