Installation Notes

Installation of exit device components should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or licensed locksmith in accordance with applicable building codes and the manufacturer's installation instructions. Secure the door in a safe position and verify all hardware is de-energized if electronic access control is integrated before beginning service. Do not modify the rod length by cutting or bending, as this may compromise the latching function and life-safety performance of the exit device. Verify proper bottom latch engagement and full crossbar travel after installation.
