8) IF DOOR OPENING IS NOT 7'0", DETERMINE TOP ROD LENGTH BASED ON A 40-5/16" DEVICE REF. C FROM FINISHED
FLOOR.L
1/8” DIA. HOLE THRU
7/16”
A) FOR DOOR OPENINGS UNDER 7'0":
1) SUBTRACT DOOR OPENING FROM 7'0" OPENING.
2) SUBTRACT ANSWER FROM PART 1 FROM 36-7/8" TO DETERMINE TOP ROD LENGTH.
(EXAMPLE : 6'8" DOOR OPENING - 7'0" - 6'8" = 4" 36-7/8"-4"= 32-7/8" TOP ROD)
B) FOR DOOR OPENINGS ABOVE 7'0":
1) SUBTRACT 7'0" FROM DOOR OPENING.
2) ADD ANSWER FROM PART 1 TO 36-7/8" TO DETERMINE TOP ROD LENGTH.
(EXAMPLE: 8'10" DOOR OPENING - 8'10"-7'0"=22" 36-7/8"+22"=58-7/8")
9)
MODIFY TOP ROD TO REQUIRED LENGTH.
A) FOR RODS THAT ARE TOO LONG, FOLLOW PROCEDURE BELOW TO CUT ROD TO SIZE.
1) MARK RODS TO REQUIRED LENGTH.
NOTE: ROD MUST BE MEASURED FROM THREADED PORTION OF ROD.
DO NOT CUT ROD AT END WITH INTERNAL THREADS.
2) CUT ROD AT MARKED LOCATION.
3) DRILL COTTER KEY CONNECTION HOLE.
DRILL 1/8" DIA. HOLE THRU ON VERTICAL ROD 7/16" FROM END OF ROD JUST CUT.
CALCULATED ROD LENGTH MEASURED
FROM THREADED END OF ROD.
7) PREPARE ACCESS SLOT IN CHANNEL COVER. DRILL AN 11/16" DIA. HOLE 5/16" FROM JUST CUT END OF CHANNEL
COVER. REMOVE REMAINING MATERIAL TO COMPLETE SLOT USING A SAW OR FILE.
11/16” DIA. HOLE
5/16”
LHR SHOWN
REMOVE THIS
MATERIAL
THEN
DEBURR SLOT
9) VERTICAL ROD ADJUSTMENT.
A) TOP LATCH ADJUSTMENT.
1) RELEASE TOP LATCHBOLT USING RELEASE TRIGGER.
2) CHECK TOP LATCHBOLT PROJECTION, LATCHBOLT PROJECTION SHOULD BE 5/8" TO 3/4".
3) IF THE TOP LATCHBOLT DOES NOT PROJECT THIS MUCH, REMOVE THE COTTER KEY FROM THE TOP
ROD AND TURN THE TOP ROD ONE FULL TURN (SEE BELOW). RE-INSERT THE COTTER KEY.
RECHECK THE INCREASED LATCHBOLT PROJECTION. REPEAT UNTIL TOP LATCHBOLT PROJECTION
IS 5/8" TO 3/4".
4) SLOWLY DEPRESS TOUCHBAR; LATCHBOLT SHOULD REMAIN IN RETRACTED POSITION.
5) IF LATCHBOLT DOES NOT REMAIN IN RETRACTED POSITION, REMOVE COTTER KEY. DECREASE TOP
LATCHBOLT PROJECTION BY ROTATING ROD 1/2 TURN (SEE BELOW).
6) RE-INSERT COTTER KEY, REPEAT PROCESS UNTIL LATCHBOLT REMAINS IN RETRACTED POSITION.
B) BOTTOM BOLT ADJUSTMENT (TOP LATCH SHOULD REMAIN IN RETRACTED POSITION).
1) REMOVE COTTER KEY, ROTATE ROD 1/2 TURN UNTIL BOTTOM BOLT CLEARS FINISHED FLOOR.
2) RE-INSERT COTTER KEY.
C) IF TRIM IS BEING USED, OPERATE TRIM AND CHECK FOR FULL LATCHBOLT RETRACTION. IF TOP LATCHBOL
T
DOES NOT REMAIN IN RETRACTED POSITION, DECREASE TOP AND BOTTOM LATCHBOLT PROJECTION (SEE
BELOW).
D) BEND COTTER KEYS AROUND RODS AND RELEASE TOP LATCHBOLT USING RELEASE TRIGGER.
