Double Door Latch Bar Removal
Shor-Line's double door cage share a latch bar that can
be easily removed for greater access when transferring
a patient into or out of the cage comfortably.
The latch bar is also used for the divider panel. The
larger, double door cages can be split into two cages
by inserting the divider panel. Divider panels are sold
separately, contact Shor-Line for size availability.
To convert a double door cage to an Oxygen Therapy
cage, the latch bar must be replaced with the latch bar
which include jamb seal strips.

Door latch bar is NOT equipped with a center divider slot. Center dividers do not
seal the cage space. Store center dividers with the removed grill doors and center latch
bar assembly for future use.
