B. DOOR PREPARATION – SIMPLEX 5000

EXIT TRIM

B-1 For New Installations (Existing Installations proceed to

section B-2): Place paper template (supplied) onto the

inside of the door and align with the Centerlines. Mark

the location of the Simplex 5000 Exit Trim lock mount-

ing holes. Drill the three

⁄8" holes through the door,

then use a hole saw to cut the 2

⁄8" bore through the

door at the intersection of the Vertical and Horizontal

Centerlines. Care should be taken that these holes are

drilled perpendicular to the door face. Make sure any

burrs are removed from the hole edges, and that all

chips are cleaned out of the holes prior to installing hardware.

B-2 For Existing Installations (New installations proceed to section C): Doors

that have an existing exit device installed might already have a through

bore at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal centerlines, if the

existing hole is smaller than 2

⁄8" in diameter it will need to be enlarged.

Extra care should be used to ensure that the location of this hole is kept

as accurate as possible in relation to the existing mounting pattern. Place

paper template (supplied) onto the inside of the door aligned with the

centerlines and mark the location of the Simplex 5000 Exit Trim lock

mounting holes. Drill the three

⁄8" holes through the door, then use a

hole saw to cut the 2

⁄8" bore through the door at the intersection of the

vertical and horizontal centerlines. Care should be taken that these holes

are drilled perpendicular to the door face. Make sure any burrs are

removed from the hole edges, and that all chips are cleaned out of the

holes prior to installing hardware.

C. INSTALL EXIT DEVICE:

Follow the exit device manufacturer’s instructions for installing the exit

device onto the door.

D. DOOR THICKNESS:

The Simplex 5000 Exit Trim lock drive unit (a)

has a spring loaded tailpiece (b) and is preassem-

bled to accommodate standard door thickness 1

⁄4" to approximately 2

⁄8" for most applications.

For doors up to 2

⁄4" it may be necessary to add

a spacer to increase the projection of the tail-

piece. If this is required, first remove and discard

the two 1

⁄8" (35mm) connecting screws (c) from the drive unit (a). Add

spacer (d), and remount using the two longer 1

⁄8" (41 mm) connecting

screws supplied in the Thick Door Accessory Package.

E. ASSEMBLE OUTSIDE UNIT TO

UNIVERSAL MOUNTING PLATE:

Assemble the Universal Mounting Plate (a) to the Outside

Unit Assembly (b) and secure using the (4) 10-24 x

⁄4" long

screws (c) supplied in the accessory kit.

F. LOCK HANDING:

F-1 Determine the handing of your door, from the following diagram.

F-2 To set the handing of the drive unit grasp,

the end of the tailpiece (a) between the

fingers and rotate the tail piece until it stops

with the indicator arrow (b) pointing at the

stamped letter “LHR” for left hand reverse

installations, or the stamped letter “RHR”

for right hand reverse installations.

Note: Until engaged with the exit device, the tailpiece (a) is free to swivel 180

degrees to facilitate handing of the lock. During shipping and preparation the

position of the tailpiece may shift. The last step before mounting the lock unit

is to make sure the drive unit is set up for proper rotation.

G. CHANGING KEY-IN-LEVER (KIL) CYLINDER:

The Simplex 5000 outside lever comes preassembled

with Kaba’s key-in-lever cylinder (Kaba 1599).

To use a different key-in-lever cylinder

follow remaining steps in this section.

G-1 Remove KIL cylinder (a) from the outside

lever (b) by removing the lever insert (e)

and the cylinder retainer (c) using a small

flat blade screw driver or small needle

nose pliers. Remove the cylinder, then

the tailpiece.
