GUARDING OF LATCHBOLT
1. Determine proper position of strike by closing door
after mounting chassis and rail. Position strike on
frame or mullion, so that the latchbolt is extended/
engaged but the guard is held retracted. Mark loca-
tion of slotted holes and drill and tap (2) holes for
the oval head screws.
2. For the 59-8500 hardware, fasten the strike to the
frame or mullion with (2) star washers in between
strike and frame and tighten (2) screws.
Ensure
guard remains retracted when door is closed.
3. For the 12-59-8500 hardware, attach the strike
to the frame or mullion with (2) oval head
screws.
4. Check strike placement again by closing
door and ensuring the guard is held retract-
ed (latchbolt guarded). Drill and tap (2) holes for
round head screws and fasten strike in place.
5. Ensure latchbolt is guarded by depressing it. The
latchbolt must fully project/extend when the door
is closed for the guarding to work. Finish instal-
lation per instruction sheet A6699 and Section 10
within this manual.
