Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or licensed locksmith familiar with vertical rod exit device assemblies. Before servicing, ensure the door is secured in a safe position and that building security protocols are followed, as exit devices are life-safety components subject to local building and fire codes. Refer to the original device documentation for disassembly sequence and hardware torque guidance. Verify proper latch engagement and door function after installation before returning the door to service.
