Concealed Round Latch Installation
und Latch Installation
A. Put slide bar through small hole in side of door with notch
facing up.
B. Choose which indicator ring will be used; Green on tab for
OUTSWING doors, Red on tab for INSWING doors. Install the
indicator ring by lining up the tabs with the notches in the door
hole.
C. Place the "OUTSIDE HALF" of the latch (with the slot) into the
hole, and through the slide bolt.
D. Install the "INSIDE PART" of the latch (with the knob) mate
with the "OUTSIDE HALF", then squeeze together.
E. Mark a spot on the side of the pilaster by closing the door and
shifting the slide bar of the latch over. Where the slide bar
hits the pilaster, drill a ½" diameter hole ½" deep. See detail

STEP 8B
STEP 8B –– Surface Slide Latch Installation
Surface Slide Latch Installation
A. Locate the surface mounted slide latch at the desired
elevation and fasten onto the inside of the door with sheet
metal screws.
B. Position the wrap-around style strike & keeper so that the bar
of the slide latch will engage properly. Mount in place with
thru-bolts. For outswing doors, the bar will engage behind the
door strike. For inswing doors, the bar will engage into the
keeper.
C. For ADA accessibility, mount the strike & keeper so that half
of the slide bar is above the keeper. See detail at right. This
will allow you to lift the door and thereby lift the latch over the
keeper thus providing emergency access.
