Install the Strike

1. Align the paper template on the door frame at the desired

handle height (

), and along the vertical center line of

the mortise (CL), which is also the center line of the door

edge, allowing for any bumpers on the door frame.

4. Position the strike against the door frame and align it with the mounting screw holes. Trace the outline of the strike.

IMPORTANT Respect applicable building codes regarding handle height.
Note that the centerline of an ESMmortise does NOT pass through the screw holes on the strike.

(CL)

5. Remove material from within the strike outline so that the strike will be flush with the door frame.

2. Mark the locations of the dust box cutout and mounting screws for the strike.
3. Create the dust box pocket and chisel out the strike contour in the door frame, and drill the pilot holes for the mounting screws (dimensions and depths marked on template).

6. For ASM, install the dust box (optional for wood door frames, required for metal door frames), and check the strike handing on the template. For ASM and ESM install the strike using the screws provided. Use wood screws for wood frames and machined screws for steel frames.

Saflok RT/RT Plus Installation Guide

IMPORTANT
When strike is installed on wood frames under one inch thick, wood screws supplied are not adequate. use screws of efficient length to engage the structural stud behind the frame. Use only the strike and dust box supplied. Use of non-approved parts may void the warranty.

IMPORTANT
The key (L1) and the recess entry for key must be in the positions shown in Figs 6 & 7 before placing the lever handle on the housing or the lever and the override mechanism will not work
Troubleshooting:
If you have assembled the lever and housing with the key (L1) in the wrong position, the key (L1) will get stuck. To remove the key (L1), turn it so that it is in the vertical position and insert a small flat screwdriver (M1) (see page 17) into the hole under the lever handle to push Lever Catch (J1) in (Fig.2). Remove lever, remove key. If it is still stuck, turn the key 90º clockwise to the horizontal position and push the Lever Catch (J1) in again with the small screwdriver (M1). Remove key (L1).

CAUTION
If the lever is not assembled with the key in the position shown in Fig. 6 & Fig. 7, the inside mechanism of the lock could be damaged if the lever is rotated and forced.

4 Installation of Mechanical Override Model

4.5 Attaching the Lever Handle to the Lock (with the key as shown in Fig. 6 & Fig. 7)
7. Fit the lever handle (A1) onto the drive tube (I1). It should rest approximately 1/16″ from the body of the housing. If not, wiggle and jiggle key (L1) to align cylinder (D1) with override shaft (K1) (See Fig. 8)
If the lever catch (J1) can’t be pushed close to the housing, it is probably not pushed in. Push it in. (see fig 2 page 13)
If the lever catch (J1) is stuck, the override shaft (K1) is in the wrong position. (see fig 2 page 13) The two small indents (N1) on the cross of the override shaft (K1) must be vertically aligned as in fig 2 page 13

IMPORTANT
If it is not possible to turn the key (L1) counter-clockwise to complete this step, the spring washer (H1, see page 12) may be too tense: Hit the lever carefully with a rubber mallet to loosen the spring washer (H1). (you may want to cover the lever handle (A1) with a cloth or other material to protect the finish of the metal)

9. Remove the key (L1). The lock will look as shown in Fig.10.

Gently check the rotation of the lever handle (A1). It should easily rotate approximately 45º.
Troubleshooting:
Right-handed Lock: Turn the lever handle (A1) clockwise without forcing it. If it stops at approximately 15º, it was not assembled correctly as shown in step 6 (Fig. 6 & 7). Do not try to force it to turn. Release the lever handle (A1). Insert the small screwdriver (M1, page 16) into the small hole on the underside of the lever handle (A1) and push in the lever catch (J1) see page 13. Re-do steps 2, 3, 4 & 5.
Left-handed Lock: Turn the lever handle (A1) counterclockwise without forcing. If it stops at approximately 15º, it was not assembled correctly as shown in step 6 (Fig. 6 & 7). Do not try to force it to turn. Release the lever handle (A1). Insert the small screwdriver (M1, page 16) into the small hole on the underside of the lever handle (A1) and push in the lever catch (J1) see page 13. Re-do steps 2, 3, 4 & 5.
