CM5500 COMPUTER MANAGED MORTISE LOCK
INSTALLATION MANUAL
1. PREP DOOR AND FRAME (IF NOT ALREADY DONE):
A. Determine door hand.
B. Mark the horizontal and vertical centerlines for the lock case (on door edge), strike, lever, and inside escutcheon. Note
that the backset is actually 2.813” (or 2 13/16”). This is very important for proper mounting.
C. Place template on
inside
of door (opposite the side that the keypad/reader will be on). Line up the correct reference lines
on the template with the edge of the door, depending on the hand (see paper template). The centerline on the door should
line up with the vertical centerline of the template. Use the paper template to mark all holes. (Though the paper template is
the preferred way to prep the door, the dimensions below may be used if a paper template is not available.)
D. Drill required holes. Note that all holes are required except the 3/4” hole just below the 1” hole, this is only required if the
lock has the privacy feature (model 5594).
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Standard units are shipped from the factory to fit 1-3/4” doors. Verify the door thickness. If the door is not 1-3/4” thick, verify
that the door thickness option was ordered or consult factory.
