!!!CHECK BEFORE STARTING!!! Doors and frames with walls having a structural thickness (metal skin plus reinforcement) to engage less than (3) full screw threads, are considered unreinforced for hardware. Unreinforced Doors: Use Sex Nuts and Bolts Minimum Stile Width: 4-1/2" Unreinforced Frames: Use Blind Rivet Nuts (see sketch). Fasteners for unreinforced openings are not supplied by Detex. Reinforced door or Reinforcement frame engages at least (3) screw threads. Blind Rivet Nut Door Skin Door Must Swing Freely Door Must Not be Warped Door Must Not Bind Door Must Not Sag

NOTE : LOCAL CODES MAY REQUIRE THROUGH BOLTING. SEX NUTS ARE NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS DEVICE. SEX NUTS CAN BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY.

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

INSTALLATION SHOWN IN THIS INSTRUCTION IS FOR RIGHT HAND REVERSE (RHR); LEFT HAND REVERSE (LHR) WILL BE OPPOSITE

STEP 4: BOTTOM ROD / LATCH ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENT

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).

If DIM A is more than 41-1/2", from floor, call customer service at 1-800-729-3839 for assistance.

P/N 105098

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.

  • 4b. Place bottom rod 105098 into bolt, line up holes and secure with spring pin provided.
  • 4c. DIM C is the target length.

FLOOR

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

STEP 6: ATTACH TOP LATCH MOUNTING BRACKETS

\stackrel{\textstyle \frown}{} ATTACH top latch mounting brackets as shown below. Three screws required for each bracket.

STEP 8: SECURE ROD / LATCH / CENTERLIFT ASSEMBLY TO DOOR

8a. Attach top latch to door with six screws. 8b. Attach bottom bolt mounting brackets to bottom bolt case ATTACH top latch to door with six screws. with (6) phillips pan head screws 8c. Attach bottom bolt mounting brackets to door with six screws. 1/4-20 x 5/8" 8d. Attach back plate to centerlift mechanism with two screws - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Assembly hint: Assemble one screw loosely without backplate, then add second screw through backplate. Remove first screw, align backplate and then re-install first screw. ATTACH bottom bolt mounting brackets to bottom bolt case assembly with (6) button head socket cap screws ∭ 10-24 x 1/4" ATTACH backplate to USE included Loctite centerlift mechanism with (2) phillips flat head screws 10-24 x 5/8" OR Bottom bolt mounting bracket P/N 105982-3 Bottom bolt Backplate mounting bracket BP11 or BP13 P/N 105982-4 ATTACH bottom bolt case to door with (6) phillips pan head screws THIS SURFACE MUST BE FACING INNER DOOR FACE (VIEWED FROM BOTTOM EDGE OF DOOR) Note: Bottom bracket may slide up on rod during assembly. It may be necessary to pull it towards bottom edge of door with a simple wire hook.

STEP 9: VERIFY CENTERLIFT MECHANISM OPERATION

9e. Upon completion, retract latches before proceeding to Step 10.

finished floor (minus the threshold height if threshold is used).

If it is, then bottom rod is too long. Go back to STEP 4 and correct.

STEP 10: HANG DOOR / ASSEMBLE DEVICE TO DOOR

10d)complete backplate mounting

INSTALL backplate with (4) lockwashers & screws OR screws & sexnuts

INSTALL DEVICE TO BACKPLATE

Install device to backplate & fasten with 2 screws. Depress pushpad appropriate amount

to line up lift pin with tabs

INSTALL with (2) screws 10-24 x 1/4"

Lift pin protruding from back of centercase MUST be inserted BETWEEN these two tabs.

CHECKING FOR DEVICE CLEARANCE

(Cut-Off procedure if required)

CUT fillerplate and extrusion STRAIGHT & SQUARE to desired length and deburr. SECURE with tape before cutting.

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.

Check for device and door frame clearance. If no cut-off needed, proceed to the next page.

104924 Page 15

INSTALL ENDCAP BRACKET 10g

INSTALL bracket with (2) lockwashers & screws OR screws & sex bolts

LEVEL device before installing endcap bracket

ENSURE that device does not require cutting (See Step 10f on previous page).

TEST device function after installation of endcap is complete by depressing & releasing pushpad. Action should be smooth with full return of pushpad and latch travel.

Drill #7 or 13/64" for threaded hole

OR * If using sexnuts, install here.

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

11a STRIKE ORIENTATION

(\!1\,1b\!) install load shims

Load Shims are used to maximize device strength. Utilize to fill-in gap between strike insert and strike pocket wall. Primary shim should always be used.

Screw used with shims Supplemental
Load Shim
QTY
8-32 x 1/4" 0 shims
8-32 x 5/16" 1 or 2 shims
8-32 x 7/16" 3 or 4 shims

Begin strike installation with notched side of pocket towards inside door face. If additional adjustment is needed, rotate pocket 180°

applications

11C INSTALL TOP STRIKE POCKET

INSTALL top strike pocket with (4) socket cap flat head screws

Note: Load shims must be installed BETWEEN inside wall of top strike pocket & wall of strike insert as shown.

11\mathrm{e} finished strike installation view

10-32 x 5/8"

Verify device / strike fit.

Adjust the strike insert, load shims, and height shims as needed

Note:

Strike pocket must be removed from header in order to adjust load shims.

104924 Page 17

STEP 12: BOTTOM STRIKE INSTALLATION

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.

13e. BOTTOM LATCH ADJUSTMENT: With pushpad depressed (retracted position), extend or retract bottom bolt to desired engagement and clearance.

13f. Check device operation (See Device Operation Troubleshooting table). Reference STEP 13a & 13b.
