DESCRIPTION Securitron’s Mortise UnLatch is a revolutionary new type of electric strike which eliminates the necessity to perform a routing operation on the door frame for installation.

2.2 HOLLOW METAL (STEEL) FRAME MOUNTING Remove the existing ANSI 4 7/8” strike plate (it will be discarded) and experimentally try to fit the Mortise UnLatch in the resulting cavity. In some cases the cavity will be large enough to accommodate the Mortise UnLatch and you will have nothing to do but pull the wires up the hollow door frame and screw the Mortise UnLatch into place.

2.4.1 EXCEPTIONS: When working with Corbin Russwin ML2000 and BEST Series 2 Mortise Locks the dead latch needs to be removed. With both of these locks the dead latch is not retracted by the lever set when you are exiting the secure area this means that depending on the door gap the dead latch may hang up on the stainless steel case of the MUNL.

silencers, add one or two door stop spacers as is shown in Figure 4 to cause the door to close earlier. If the amount of slack or rattling is less than 1/16-1/8”, you have a “tight” door and the ability of the door to close and latch reliably is in question. To adjust for this, first check to see if the stop has “silencers”...

Note that if the door is heavily pre-loaded (by someone trying to pull it open before the Mortise UnLatch has released it for example), the Mortise UnLatch may not possess enough power to release the door. This is termed a stall condition for the motor. When a motor is stalled for a period of time, it can be damaged by heat build up as motors draw heavy current when they’re not permitted to move.

APPENDIX A: TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM-- Unit will not operate when trigger wire is connected to +V. On a new installation, make sure that DC power (12 or 24 volts depending on the model) is connected to the red and black wires with correct polarity. When this is confirmed, note that the Mortise UnLatch will never operate unless the springlatch plunger is pushed in by the springlatch (see Section 3.3).
