Troubleshooting - Yale 7000 Series Parts Manual

Troubleshooting Guide
1 . Many problems with the operation of exit
devices are caused by factors other than
the device itself . Among the most common
is a misalignment or an improper fit of the
door within the frame .
2 . Another common source of problems is
improper installation . Even if all cutouts
and screw holes are properly located,
exit devices must be securely fastened to
properly reinforced doors . Hollow doors
and frames with a structural thickness
(metal skin plus reinforcement, or solid
hardwood) must have at least three full
screw threads to be considered reinforced .
3 . Most problems with dogging occur on
vertical rod devices . When the dogging
function is hard to engage or will not work
at all, the rods may be incorrectly adjusted
allowing the mechanism to bottom out .
Readjust rods per the device instructions or
as outlined on the previous pages .
