Installation Instructions for Wi-Q™ Technology 45HQ Mortise Locks
Completing the installation
19 Install strike box and strike plate
1 Insert the strike box into the mortise in the door jamb.
Place the strike plate over the strike box and secure the
strike with the screws provided.
2 Check the position of the auxiliary bolt against the
strike plate.
Caution: The auxiliary bolt must make contact with the
strike plate. The auxiliary bolt deadlocks the latchbolt
and prevents someone from forcing the latch open
when the door is closed. If the incorrect strike is
installed, a lock-in can occur.
Note: The recommended gap between the door and
jamb is 1/8″.
