Preparing the door and door frame

1. Prepare the door using the Quantum RFID installation template or drill fixture. The door edge prep is

a standard, full-mortise prep for a 1-1/4” x 8” front plate (1” x 8” and 1” x 7-3/4” custom front plates are

optional). The door surface holes and mortise are customized for the SAFLOK trim.

Important: Some holes are only on the inside surface of the door.

For new construction installations, the door manufacturer may prepare the door using the

installation template.

For retrofit installations, remove the existing hardware and confirm that the existing door edge

prep is appropriate for the SAFLOK mortise lock.

Drill fixture: If you are using a SAFLOK drill fixture, position and clamp the fixture on the door. The

fixture has two positioning posts that rest inside the mortise, establishing the proper backset for the

trim. When the fixture is clamped, its surfaces should be parallel with the door surfaces and door

edges. Not all holes go through the door (refer to the template). Notch the material on the inside

surface for easier routing of the motor wire. After machining, remove any debris from the mortise and

cutouts.

2. Prepare the door frame using the template and install the strike plate using the screws provided

(12 x 1-1/2 screws for wood frames, 12-24 x 3/8 screws for metal frames).

3. The mortise plate has an adjustable bevel. Align the mortise front plate with the bevel of the door

edge and tighten the two bevel adjustment screws at the top and bottom of the mortise case. Position

the mortise case in the door edge with the motor wire routed through the notch (see Fig. 1).

Note: Use care to ensure that the wires do not get

pinched or pulled as the mortise is inserted into the

pocket.

4. Attach the mortise front plate to the door using the two

mortise screws (12 x 1-1/4 screws for wood doors,

12-24 x 3/8 screws for metal doors). Be sure that the

screws are fully tightened.

Important: DO NOT leave the screws loose. The screws

must be fully tightened before the trim is installed. If you

must leave the mortise loose to install the trim, the door

preparation is incorrect.

5. Install the scalp plate with the 8-32 x 1/4 screws

provided and test for proper mechanical latch

engagement into the strike plate.
