Mortice Installation (Metal Extrusion)
1. Cutting the mortice
Referring to the product dimension drawings, a mortice is
cut into the door frame to fit the lock and a mortice is cut
into the door leaf to fit the strike. Metal doors and frames,
being hollow, often only require a single rectangle cut-out to
accommodate the lock face plate or strike plate. For these
installations lock and strike can be installed flush using
fitting tabs (available separately).
It is crucial to ensure that the mortices in the door leaf and
frame are aligned vertically and horizontally when the door
is closed as this aligns the bolt pin to the strike opening and
also the strike magnet to the locks internal door position
sensor.
Ensure that the final gap between the lock face plate and
strike plate once it is installed will be no more than 6mm
(1/4 inch).
2. Wiring the lock
Feed the wires out of the hollow chamber of the frame and a
connection can be made to the supplied wire loom which in
turn plugs into the lock.
Refer to the Wiring section of this document for detailed
instructions on wiring.
3. Setting the operating mode
Ensure the operating mode switch is positioned to the required
state, Fail Safe or Fail Secure.
Refer to the Operating Mode section of this document for detailed
instructions on wiring.
4. Fitting the lock and strike plate
The lock can be placed into the door frame cutout, ensuring that
the wiring integrity is maintained, and then secured in place with
M5 machine screws (included with fitting tabs). Please ensure the
lock is the correct orientation as to pull the door into the door jamb.
The strike is then placed into the door leaf cutout and then M5
machine screws (included with fitting tabs) are used to secure it in
place. Ensure the strike is oriented so that the bolt hole aligns with
the lock bolt.
