Specifications

brand-new door, on a brand-new
building, required a Full Surface Pivot
Hinge to correct a sagging problem
(see arrow 1). Arrows number 2, 3 and
4 direct your attention to the clearance
of the door in the frame and arrow 5 is
to remind you to make sure the
bottom of the door
is clearing the
threshold and not
dragging.
The tools and
supplies you’ll need
are nothing more
then you would
normally have in
your tool box. How-
ever, if you are in-
stalling an alarm
model, you’ll need
two 9-volt batteries
and a 1-1/8” mor-
tise cylinder. If you
are installing a Low
Profile Kit, you’ll
need a 3-1/4” hole
saw and a 3/8” nut
driver, which you
may not have in
your tool box.
Next you need to
measure the door frame, door jamb
depth and door stop depth (see
Illustration A).
Cut the tailpiece and extension rod
(refer to the Table 1 in the installation
instructions) as shown in Photograph

actuator rod as shown in Photograph 5,
and the tailpiece slips over the rod as
seen in Photograph 6.
Photograph 7, shows the
Emergency Label installed (it just
slides in) and the installed mortise
cylinder can be seen in Photograph 8.
The batteries are hooked up and
installed in the end cap and the end
cap is re-attached to the panic device
as shown in Photograph 9.
Marking and Drilling:
First determine the installation
height (between 30” and 44” from the
floor.) Mark that measurement on the
door and use a two-foot level to carry
the line across the door. Now fold the
large drill template on the appropriate
lines (determined by your
measurements), place the “hinge
side” of the template to the hinge side
of the door and align the center line of
the template with the line you mark on
the door. Tape into place and center
punch where indicated on the
template.
Drill 1/4” holes completely
through the door where indicated.
Enlarge the inside hole to 3/8”. Use a
