Door preparation

Check door preparation dimensions

If door preparation dimensions do not match, go to www.schlage.com for door preparation instructions or refer to the enclosed template.

Check top strike cutout

IMPORTANT : THE CUTOUT FOR THE TOP STRIKE MUST BE ON THE STOP SIDE OF THE DOOR.

If the cutout is not on the stop side of the door, contact the door distributor.

Fire barrier installation (fire-rated wood door only)

Install intumescent.

Fire components must be installed to maintain fire rating of the opening.

Note door handing on intumescent. The intumescent is applied to the side of the fire barrier that will be opposite the door stop.

CAUTION!

Intumescent must be properly aligned before adhesive contacts the fire barrier surface. Adhesive is permanent and not repositionable.

Peel one side of the adhesive backing from intumescent as shown.
Apply the intumescent adhesive to the fire barrier.

Remove knockouts from fire barrier

Remove knockouts per door handing and function.

With fire barrier in correct orientation, slide barrier into door pocket

Secure the fire barrier inside the mortise pocket with four screws.

Install latch(es)

IMPORTANT! Check lock handing before installation.

LM9210 does not use a lock handing screw. ****

To change handing:
Remove the lock handing screw from one side of the chassis and install it on the opposite side. The lock handing screw should always be on the interior (door stop) side of the door.

FOR ELECTRIFIED LOCKS ONLY: If necessary, move EL/EU switch to desired

position before

Confirm top latch is marked for LM9200 LOCK ONLY, then remove label.

Connect cable end fitting(s) to latch(es).

Top latch: Pull cable link down. Slide cable end into cable link.
Bottom latch: Bend cable slightly to access cable link, then install.

• Refer to illustrations to identify top and bottom latches.
• For 2-point latches, the bottom cable is black.

Set the door on sawhorses with the top notch cutout (door stop side)

facing down.

Feed the cable(s) through the door.

The ends of the cables will rest in the mortise pocket.

Insert the top latch into the door.

Check handing. The top latchbolt should swing toward the notch cutout side of the door.

Insert the bottom latch into the door (2-point latch only).

Check handing. The bottom latchbolt bevel should face opposite the notched cutout side of the door.

Secure the latch(es).

Perform cable binding check at the mortise pocket.

Cable adjustment points

Check cable spool(s) position

Check spool(s) to be sure they are in unretracted state (toward top and bottom of the mortise chassis).

If the spool cable hole is not visible or only partially visible, rotate the cable spool screw with hex wrench to reveal the cable hole.

Install mortise chassis

FOR ELECTRIFIED LOCKS ONLY: Route the wire harness and wiring into the

prepared channel before proceeding with installation.

Attach cable end(s) to spool(s).

Feed the cable through the spool. Fit the cable end into the cable hole.

Check that the cable is properly routed through the spool.

For 2-point latch only:
The bottom spool access is on the opposite side of the mortise. Turn the mortise over to access the bottom spool.

Turn spool to move cable end fitting

Turn the cable spool screw(s) clockwise at top and bottom (if applicable) of the mortise chassis to rotate the spool until the cable end fitting is beneath the mortise cover. Do not turn counter-clockwise.

Install the top and bottom spool covers on the mortise chassis.

LM9225 ONLY: Install inside mounting plate.

Hold the mortise chassis away from the pocket so that the cables are

slightly taut

Turn the cable spool screw(s) clockwise.
For 2-point latch, alternate between top and bottom.

The mortise chassis will pull into the pocket.

****Before the mortise chassis is completely inside the pocket, check that the cable is not caught on the mortise chassis or a spool cover.

Continue to turn the cable spool screw(s) clockwise (alternating top and bottom for 2-point latch).

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
Stop turning the spool screw(s) when the mortise chassis is completely inside the door.

Additional adjustment will be done at a later step.

IMPORTANT
If clicking noises are heard during clockwise adjustment, unwind the cable with one -half turn counter-clockwise. Then, continue clockwise adjustment. If clicking persists, check that cable is not caught on an edge or jammed at spool covers.

Check latch operation – top latch

The following steps are shown with rose trim. Escutcheon is installed in the same manner except where shown otherwise.

Assemble the exterior lever.

Place the exterior lever assembly and the spindle and spring into the

door

Do not fasten the exterior lever to the door at this time.

Put top latch in locked position

Turn top cable adjustment screw clockwise.

Rotate the exterior lever to release the latch(es).

After lever is rotated, latch(es) should stay in released position.

If lever droops or does not return to home position, check spring cage for correct orientation (see illustration at step 6a).
If lever does not rotate enough to release latch(es), turn the bottom cable spool screw counter-clockwise (2-point latch only) until the lever rotates fully and releases the top latch.
If the latch(es) do not stay in the released position, rotate the top latchbolt by hand to released position. See illustrations below.

If the top latch does not rotate when pushed by hand, then turn the top cable spool screw clockwise until clicking is heard from the top spool.

If clicking is heard immediately, check that the cable is not caught or jammed.

Check latch operation – bottom latch

The tilting link indicates a 2-point system is properly adjusted.
With latches released as described at step 6e, check the center slot on the front edge of the mortise case. The tilting link should be visible extending slightly at the opening as shown below.

If the tilting link is visible slightly extended at the center slot, skip to page 10, step 7d.
If the tilting link IS NOT extended slightly at the center slot opening as shown, follow the instructions at step 7a below.

Turn the bottom cable spool screw counter-clockwise 3 turns.

The tilting link should be visible extending slightly at the center slot (see illustration above ).

If the tilting link is visible slightly extended at the center slot, skip to page 10, step 7d.

If the tilting link IS NOT visible extended slightly at the center slot, follow the instructions at step 7b.

Turn the top cable spool screw counter-clockwise one additional turn.

The tilting link should now be visible extending slightly at the center slot opening.

Check rotation of the lever.

If the lever does not rotate, turn the bottom cable spool screw counter- clockwise 1-2 turns. Then, repeat rotation of the lever. Both latches should be released.

Check bottom latchbolt.

• The bottom latchbolt should be flush with the bottom of the door, or may extend not more than 1/8” past the bottom surface of the door.
• If the bottom latchbolt extends more than 1/8” past the bottom surface of the door, adjust the bottom cable adjustment screw clockwise until the latchbolt is flush or not more than 1/8” past the bottom surface of the door.

Lock the latch(es)

Lock (extend) the top latch by hand. If applicable, the bottom latch should also lock.

For 2-point latch only:
