Strike Mounting Hardware

Tools Required

!!!CHECK BEFORE STARTING!!!

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 – ALUMINUM & FRP 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
(Disregard if TRO device is being installed)

STEP 5:

VISUAL ALIGNMENT CHECK:

STEP 6:

ATTACH TOP LATCH MOUNTING BRACKETS
No brackets necessary for aluminum door applications – continue to step 7

STEP 7:

INSERT ROD / LATCH / CENTERLIFT ASSEMBLY INTO DOOR 7a. Align surfaces as shown below.
7b. Gently insert assembly through door top, taking care to maintain assembly orientation.

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

8a. Attach back plate 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.
8b. Attach top latch with two screws. 8c. Attach bottom latch with two screws

STEP 9: VERIFY CENTERLIFT MECHANISM OPERATION

9a. Check current centerlift position using views shown.
9b. To extend latches, push and hold down on the holdback bracket to disengage the retraction feature, then use a screwdriver inserted into the activation slot to gently lower the slot to the extended position as shown.
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.
If latchbolt is partially retracted while activation slot is fully in the extended position, then top rod is too long. In this case, latchbolt will be fully retracted 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
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. 9e. Upon completion, retract latches before proceeding to Step 10.

STEP 10: HANG DOOR / ASSEMBLE DEVICE TO DOOR

CHECKING FOR DEVICE CLEARANCE

(Cut-Off procedure if required)

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.

MORTISE CYLINDER INSTALLATION

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

(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)
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. Reference STEP 13a & 13b.

DEVICE OPERATION TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOM| POSSIBLE CAUSE| SOLUTION
Device not latching when door closes| Bottom bolt is not properly aligned with bottom strike hole.| Modify bottom strike hole for fit.
Top strike insert is not installed or not correctly aligned with the holdback.| Install and/or position strike insert per instructions.
Through fasteners for trim (if applicable) are interfering with internal centerlift assembly.| Loosen and re-position through screws to clear.
Rods improperly adjusted| Adjust rods per instructions. __ Remove device and re-install per instructions.
Latches release, but pushpad will not fully depress| Device centercase lift finger not inserted properly into centerlift assembly.| Remove device from backplate and re-install with lift finger correctly inserted.
Top adjustment screw is adjusted too far in the retracted direction (CCW).| Rotate top adjustment screw in the extended direction (CW) per FINE LATCH ADJUSTMENT procedure.
Latches are not releasing when pushpad is fully depressed| Device centercase lift finger not inserted properly into centerlift assembly.| Remove device from backplate and re-install with lift finger correctly inserted.
Top adjustment screw is adjusted too far in the extended direction (CW).| Rotate top adjustment screw in the retracted direction (CCW) per FINE LATCH ADJUSTMENT procedure.
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 14: COVER INSTALLATIONS

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.
