INSTALLATION AND FIXING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Exit devices manufactured in accordance with BS EN1125 will provide a high degree of safety for people and
reasonable security for property
provided that they are fitted to doors and door frames in good condition. The safety features of the devices are of
fundamental importance to ensure its compliance with the standards. No modifications of any kind other than those
described in the Installation instructions are permitted.
1. Installation instructions specifying appropriate fixing arrangements for the various door types are included with each
exit device.
2. Before fitting an exit device, the door should be checked to ensure correct hanging and freedom from binding. It is
not recommended that exit devices should be fitted to hollow core doors unless specifically designed by the
manufacturer for this type of door. It is recommended to verify that the door construction allows the use of device.
i.e. to verify that offset hinges and engaging leaves allow both leaves to be opened simultaneously, or to verify that the
gap between door leaves does not differ from that defined by the manufacturer, or to verify that the operating elements
do not interfere etc.
3. Before installing an exit device to a fire/smoke door, the certification should be examined to ensure the suitability of
the device for that door assembly. It is of utmost importance that an exit device is not used on a door assembly of a
greater resistance time than approved for.
4. Care should be taken that any seal or weather-strip fitted to the door assembly does not inhibit the correct operations
of the device.
