These are the most important tools that you will use in this installation.
Always use eye and ear protection!!
Your router needs to be equipped with a 3/8”
outside diameter template guide mounted in
its base. Failure to use a template guide will
cause the opening being routed to be too
large and will damage your HIT-41 template.
See our catalog or web site for a list of
available router template guides.
Install a 1/4” diameter aluminum cutting
router bit into the router collet and secure
tightly. Do not bottom the bit in the collet, hold
it about 1/16” from bottoming. Adjust the
router bit so it will route about 1/4” to 3/8” into
the door channel.
The electric strike being installed in the following
demonstration is for an offset hung door. There are strike
models available for both offset and center hung doors.
If mounting in a center hung jamb, be sure there is
depth clearance for the strike!
