TRUDOOR TDE-1000 Series Exit Device

Product Information:

The Trudoor TDE-1000 Series Exit Device is a Grade 1 exit device designed for installation on single doors. It features a roller strike for secure latching and is suitable for both metal and wood doors. The exit device comes with various mounting brackets,screws, and tools required for installation.

Product Usage Instructions

Install Roller Strike:

1. With the door in the closed position, mark the centerline of the latch bolt on the door jamb.
2. Place the roller strike on the door jamb, aligning the center of the roller strike with the latch bolt centerline. Mark the jamb and align the outside edge of the roller strike with the outside edge of the door jamb.
3.  Mark the center of the two adjustable slotted holes and drill 7/32 pilot holes. Tap the pilot holes with 1/4-20 threads and install machine screws. Alternatively, drill 3/16 pilot holes for installing self-tapping machine screws or wood screws in pilot holes. Close the door to check if the latch bolt extends properly and adjust the roller strike if necessary.
4. With the roller strike in its final position, drill a 7/32 pilot hole for the center mounting hole. Tap the pilot hole with 1/4-20 threads and install a machine screw. Alternatively, drill a 3/16 pilot hole for installing a self-tapping machine screw or wood screw in the pilot hole.
5. Note: Install the strike shim unless the exit device head cover rubs against the roller strike. In that case, remove the strike shim to gain additional clearance.

Operation Test:
After installation is complete, press down the actuating bar to ensure that the door opens and closes/latches correctly. Make any necessary adjustments.

Locking and Unlocking:
To unlock, hold the actuating bar down and turn the dogging device clockwise with the dogging wrench.
To lock, hold the actuating bar down and turn the dogging device counterclockwise with the dogging wrench.

Door Backset Adjustment:
If the door has a backset of less than 36 inches, remove the end cover and cut section A to the desired length.

A stock door backset of 2 3/4 can be used, but it will decrease the backset by 3/16. This can be offset by not using the 1/8 strike shim to gain 1/8 extra clearance. This will bring the backset within 1/16, which is within acceptable tolerances to operate correctly.

• C. Rim w/ DDS x Surface Vertical Rod on a Pair of Doors
  When installing Rim device x SVR device on a pair of doors a Double
  Door Strike (DDS) is required. For complete template information, please refer to the DDS template.

DRILL HOLES

1. Determine if outside trim is being used.
2. If outside trim is being used mark and drill holes on outside door face according to trim template first and install trim, then mark and drill holes for exit device according to enclosed exit device template and install.
3. If no outside trim is being used mark and drill holes according to enclosed exit device template and install.
4. A stock door backset of 2 3/4” can be used but will decrease the backset by 3/16”, this can be offset by not using the 1/8” strike shim to gain 1/8” extra clearance. This will bring the backset within 1/16” which is within acceptable tolerances to operate correctly.

For 1000:

Important Notes:

1. If KRM Mullion is being used, install KRM mullion first, then outside trim adjusting backset according to KRM Mullion backset drawing # KRM-1000 and then install exit device.
