2. Install the Strike a. Align the paper template on the door frame at the desired handle height, and along the vertical center line of the mortise (CL), which is also the center line of the door edge, allowing for any bumpers on the door frame.
Page 16
e. Remove material from within the strike outline so that the strike will be flush with the doorframes. For ASM, install the dust box (optional for wood door frames, required for metal door frames), and check the strike handing on the template.
Page 17
B-2. Reversing the Mortise Handing 1. Reversible ASM a. Remove the mortise faceplate. Place the mortise on a flat surface for the following steps. b. Partially extend the deadbolt: For normal ASM, rotate hub (H) using a screwdriver, until the deadbolt (D) extends approximately 1/4”.
Page 18
For Autodeadbolt ASM, rotate hub (H) until the deadbolt (D) is fully retracted. The deadbolt will extend approx. 1/16” from the mortise case. 1/16” Hold deadbolt (D) gently. Press and release the auxiliary latch (X). You should feel the deadbolt trigger and begin to extend under the force of the spring.

d. Pull out the latch bolt (L), until it just clears the front plate. (Note: If you remove the bolt completely, you must turn it 90° to re-insert it.) 180° Rotate the latch bolt (L) 180°. Re-insert it to the end of its stroke. Holding tool (S) in place, re-engage tailpiece (T) with latch bolt (L) (slide tailpiece down).
Page 21
e. Release the latch bolt (L). Position the latch bolt so that the bottom tooth of the anti-friction latch (F) remains inside the mortise case as shown. Note: If the tooth of (F) is outside the mortise, you will not be able to re-assemble the faceplate on the mortise.

B-3. Additional steps for Autodeadbolt ASM inside trim assembly If not already installed at the factory, put the thumbturn in the vertical position and install all four (4) parts (M) as shown, on the inside trim assembly. Turn the thumbturn all the way to the right for a RH installation (arrow on M2 points UP), or all the way to the left for a LH installation (arrow on M2 points DOWN).

B-5. Install the Outside Housing and Inside Trim Assembly for 2000 Series without Key Override (for E2000 Series Key Override, see Section F) 1. Install the gasket (N) (if required) on the outside housing prior to assembly, aligning the notch in the gasket with the battery compartment.
Page 30
5. On the inside trim assembly turn the lever to the correct horizontal rest position for the handing of the door. Install the tension spring (L) between the handle (H) and the post (P). Note: For Autodeadbolt ASM, Office and Storeroom models, refer to section B-3 6.
Page 31
8. Three AA batteries should already be installed in the battery holder (C). Insert the battery holder into the outside housing and secure it using the supplied 6-32 x 5/16" (7.9mm) Phillips screw (H). Note: If the lock makes a continuous buzzing noise or the red LED lights continuously, reset the electronics by removing the battery holder for ten seconds then reinsert it.

Install Lock & Exit Device on the door a. Choose the required SPINDLE BAG from the spindle chart in the Hardware bag depending ON THE TYPE OF EXIT DEVICE AND THE DOOR THICKNESS b. Insert the slotted end of the spindle (D) into the outside housing until it locks, at the correct position for the exit device (see Fig.4).
D. INSTALLING OUTSIDE LEVER ON NON-MECHANICAL OVERRIDE Assemble the lever on the outside housing in the hori- zontal rest position appropriate to the handing of the door. Simply push the lever onto the tube until it clicks in place. If more force is required, use a rubber mallet. Test the attachment of the handle by pulling on it to make sure it is securely fastened.
F. INSTALLING OPTIONAL K-I-L KEY OR BEST REMOVABLE CORE OVERRIDE AND OUTSIDE LEVER F-1 Upon unpacking, the lock housing with mechanical override should look like the diagram below with: • The small indents (i) on the cross of the override shaft (m) in line horizontally •...
Page 41
For Optional K-I-L Key F-8 Put the cylinder plug (k) into the lever (h). Making sure that the cylinder plug (k) does not fall out, insert the key into the cylinder (j). The key will be horizontal. Caution: The position of the key is very important. If the lever is not assembled with the key in the correct position before placing the lever on the housing, the inside mechanism of the lock could be damaged if the lever is rotated and forced.
F-13 Remove the key. The lock will look as shown at right. Right-Handed lock F-14 Gently check the rotation of the lever handle. It should easily rotate approximately 45º. Troubleshooting: If you have assembled the lever and housing with the key in the wrong position, the key will get stuck.
Test the Movement of the Lever (without the key in cylinder) a. Turn the lever (h) clockwise for a Right-Handed lock or counter-clockwise for a Left-Handed lock b. Release the lever slowly. It should return freely to its horizontal position. H.
H-4 Install cap (i) to cover key hole. The cap has a Top snap small groove on one edge (to allow ease of (Second) removal). This should be facing down. Insert bottom snap of cap in lever hole below the cylinder.
J. CHANGING BEST-TYPE CORE Use the control key to remove the removable core from the lever Remove the adapter from the removable core and reassemble it on the new removable core. Note: It is important that the new removable core has the same number of pins (6 or 7) as the dismounted one.
INSTALLING RUBBER BUMPERS L -1 Close the door and apply pressure making sure the deadlatch (a) rests on the strike plate (b) as shown. Standing on the frame (door stop) side of the door, check for gaps between the door and the frame on the three sides of the frame (left, right, and top).
TESTING THE OPERATION OF THE LOCK Rotate inside lever and hold. Ensure that the latch is fully retracted and flush with the latch faceplate. Release the inside lever; the latch should be fully extended. N-2 For PowerPlex 2000 you need to activate the outside lever 3 to 4 times to power the lock prior N-3 Enter the factory-set combination: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
