STEP 1: DOOR / OPENING MEASUREMENTS
Measure per figure below:
*These dimensions will be needed during rod length adjustment. Measure door before removing.
STEP 2: DOOR PREP - HOLLOW METAL DOOR
STEP 4:
BOTTOM ROD / LATCH ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENT
(Disregard if TRO device is being installed)
4a. Using DIM A as measured in step 1, use chart to determine pinning location.
If DIM A is less than 37-1/4" from finished floor, a new pin hole must be drilled through 105098 rod. Subtract the centerline dimension from 38" and measure up this distance from hole V. Mark and drill .189 diameter hole (#12 drill).
Note: If hole V or W is used (or if new hole is drilled closer to threaded end), trim off UNTHREADED end of rod as needed to allow rod to slide into bottom bolt far enough to pin.

ROD P/N 105098
- 4b. Remove clip 103551 and slide pin out. Place bottom rod 105098 into bolt, line up holes and replace pin and place clips into pin grooves.
- 4c. DIM C is the target length.
For no threshold or threshold 1/2" or less:
DIM C = measured DIM A minus 8".
For threshold greater than 1/2":
DIM C = measured DIM A minus 8" minus threshold height
The bottom bolt vertical travel from fully extended to fully retracted is approximately 9/16.
4d. Thread bottom rod into centerlift mechansim to achieve DIM C (within 1/16").
STEP 6:
ATTACH TOP LATCH MOUNTING BRACKETS
Attach top latch brackets as shown below. Three screws (10-24 x 5 /16" PFHUMS) required for each bracket.
STEP 8: SECURE ROD / LATCH / CENTERLIFT ASSEMBLY TO DOOR
8a. Attach top latch to door with three screws (six for fire rated doors).
(Disregard steps 8b & 8c if TRO device is being installed) 8b. Attach bottom mounting bracket to bottom latch with four screws.
8c. Attach bottom mounting bracket to door with three screws.
8d. Attach back plate to centerlift mechanism with two screws - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
then add second screw through backplate. Remove first screw, Assembly hint: Assemble one screw loosely without backplate, align backplate and then re-install first screw.
STEP 9: VERIFY CENTERLIFT MECHANISM OPERATION
PUSH
9a. Check current centerlift position using views shown.
disengage the retraction feature, then use a screwdriver inserted into the activation slot to gently lower the slot to the extended position as shown. 9b. To extend latches, push and hold down on the holdback bracket to
9c. To retract latches, gently insert a screwdriver into the activation slot and raise the slot to the retracted position as shown.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If latchbolt is fully extended while activation slot is not fully in the extended position, then top rod is too short. Go back to STEP 3 and correct.

position, then top rod is too long. In this case, latchbolt will be fully retracted If latchbolt is partially retracted while activation slot is fully in the extended before activation slot can travel fully to the retracted position. Go back to STEP 3 and correct.
9d. Bottom bolt drag check:
With top latch in retracted position, check to ensure that bottom bolt is not extending from bottom of door a distance greater than the bottom gap at If it is, then bottom rod is too long. Go back to STEP 4 and correct. finished floor (minus the threshold height if threshold is used)
9e. Upon completion, retract latches before proceeding to Step 10.
Test device fuction after installation of endcap is complete by depressing & releasing pushpad. Action should be smooth with full return of pushpad and latch travel.
CHECKING FOR DEVICE CLEARANCE (Cut-Off procedure if required)
Cut fillerplate and extrusion STRAIGHT & SQUARE to desired length and deburr
| Minimum | |
|---|---|
| Fillerplate | |
| Length | |
| Type | Length (L) |
| LD | 2-1/2" |
| HD/CD | 3" |
For aluminum Advantex finish cutdown applications:
After cutting, the baseplate extrusion can be reversed to place the cut end inside the head cover. To do so, loosen the setscrew inside the aluminum baseplate extrusion and slide extrusion out, reverse, & slide back in. Tighten setscrew.
Follow steps "a" through "g" for CD installations
- a. Remove endcap and endcap mounting bracket.
- b. Remove fillerplate.
- c. Remove and discard shipping insert and nut. Loosen (2) screws from dogging assembly.
- d. Install mortise cylinder (sold separately) with large hex nut provided.
- e. Trial fit dogging assembly. If cylinder is too short, remove spacers as necessary and reattach them under the (2) screw heads. Fasten the (2) screws to the rest of the assembly.
NOTE: The key should easily turn in both directions.
- f. Rotate key counterclockwise
- g. Assembly complete. Continue with Panic Hardware instruction.
STEP 11: TOP STRIKE INSTALLATION
STEP 12: BOTTOM STRIKE INSTALLATION (Disregard if TRO device is being installed)
BOTTOM STRIKE HOLE LOCATION & DRILLING
STEP 13: FINE LATCH ADJUSTMENT
- 13a. Ensure that latches are fully retracted. Gently close door. Latches should extend when door is closed.
- 13b. Depress pushpad and open door. Top latch should clear top strike & bottom bolt should not drag. Latches should remain in retracted position with pushpad released.
FINE LATCH ADJUSTMENT (if needed) ± 3/8" adjustment possible on both top & bottom rods independently. See diagram below.
- 13c. Top strike fine adjustment: Adjust strike engagement by either retaining or removing shim. Adjust door tightness by moving insert to desired position. Note that strike pocket can be flipped around to achieve additional adjustment (see step 11).
- 13d: TOP LATCH ADJUSTMENT: With latches extended, turn CCW until the top latchbolt projection begins to visually decrease, then turn CW until latchbolt projects fully. Rotate CW one additional full turn.
BOTTOM ADJUSTMENT SCREW EXPOSED
13e: BOTTOM LATCH ADJUSTMENT: With pushpad depressed (retracted position), extend or retract bottom bolt to desired engagement and clearance.
ADJUST with flat blade screwdriver (PUSH IN AND TURN) 13f. Check device operation. Reference STEP 13a & 13b.

| Bottom adjustment screw is adjusted too far in the extended direction (CCW). | Rotate bottom adjustment screw in the retracted direction (CW) per FINE LATCH ADJUSTMENT procedure. |
STEP 15: DOOR POPPER INSTALLATION
FIRE RATED TOP ROD ONLY (TRO) DOORS
A door locking popper is required when a fire door utilizes a top latching mechanism only (TRO). The popper is designed to project a spring loaded bolt into the adjacent frame or door in the event of fire. Detex recommends installing the popper in the edge of the door 12" above the threshold or finished floor. Holes for the popper and plug must be aligned with each other.
NOTE: Door/Frame reinforcement is required where popper and cap plug are to be installed.
