Quantum™ MT™ Installation Instructions
Pg. 2 of 8
Preparing the door and door frame
1. Prepare the door using the Quantum card reader installation template or drill fixture. The door edge
prep is a standard, full-mortise prep for a 1-1/4” x 8” front plate (1” x 8” and 1” x 7-3/4” custom front
plates are optional). The door surface holes and mortise are customized for the SAFLOK trim.
Important:
Some holes are only on the inside surface of the door.
•
For new construction installations, the door manufacturer may prepare the door using the
installation template.
•
For retrofit installations, remove the existing hardware and confirm that the existing door edge
prep is appropriate for the SAFLOK mortise lock.
Drill fixture:
If you are using a SAFLOK drill fixture, position and clamp the fixture on the door. The
fixture has two positioning posts that rest inside the mortise, establishing the proper backset for the
trim. When the fixture is clamped, its surfaces should be parallel with the door surfaces and door
edges. Not all holes go through the door (refer to the template). Remove the fixture and complete the
rectangular cutout by sawing or grinding between the four holes. Also, notch the material on the
inside surface for easier routing of the motor wire. After machining, remove any debris from the
mortise and cutouts.
2. Prepare the door frame using the template and install the strike plate using the screws provided
(12 x 1-1/2 screws for wood frames, 12-24 x 3/8 screws for metal frames).
