Mortise Installation - Solid Wood
- Cutting the mortise
Referring to the product dimension drawings, a mortise is cut into the door frame to fit the lock, and a mortise is cut into the door leaf to fit the strike. Wooden doors and frames require full mortises with space made behind the lock body to accommodate the wire connections.
It is crucial to ensure that the mortises in the door leaf and frame are aligned vertically and horizontally when the door is closed as this aligns the bolt pin to the strike opening and also the strike magnet to the lock's internal door position sensor.
Ensure that the final gap between the lock face plate and strike plate once it is installed will be no more than 6mm (1/4 inch).
- Wiring the lock
A hole needs to be drilled in the back of the mortise to bring the wires out and a connection can be made to the supplied wire loom which in turn plugs into the lock.
Refer to the Wiring section of this document for detailed instructions on wiring. - Setting the operating mode
Ensure the operating mode switch is positioned to the required state, Fail Safe or Fail Secure.
Refer to the Operating Mode section of this document for detailed instructions on wiring. - Fitting the lock and strike plate
The lock can be slid back into the door frame mortise, ensuring that the wiring integrity is maintained, and then secured in place with the supplied 10G self-tapping screws. Please ensure the lock is in the correct orientation to pull the door into the door jamb.
The strike is then placed into the door leaf mortise, and the remaining 10G self-tapping screws are used to secure it in place. Ensure the strike is oriented so that the bolt hole aligns with the lock bolt.
Mortise Installation - Metal Extrusion
- Referring to the product dimension drawings, a mortise is cut into the door frame to fit the lock, and a mortise is cut into the door leaf to fit the strike. Metal doors and frames, being hollow, often only require a single rectangle cut-out to accommodate the lock face plate or strike plate. For these installations, lock and strike can be installed flush using fitting tabs (available separately).
It is crucial to ensure that the mortises in the door leaf and frame are aligned vertically and horizontally when the door is closed as this aligns the bolt pin to the strike opening and also the strike magnet to the lock's internal door position sensor.
Ensure that the final gap between the lock face plate and strike plate once it is installed will be no more than 6mm (1/4 inch). - Feed the wires out of the hollow chamber of the frame and a connection can be made to the supplied wire loom which in turn plugs into the lock.
Refer to the Wiring section of this document for detailed instructions on wiring. - Ensure the operating mode switch is positioned to the required state, Fail Safe or Fail Secure.
Refer to the Operating Mode section of this document for detailed instructions on wiring. - The lock can be placed into the door frame cutout, ensuring that the wiring integrity is maintained, and then secured in place with M5 machine screws (included with fitting tabs). Please ensure the lock is the correct orientation as to pull the door into the door jamb.
The strike is then placed into the door leaf cutout and then M5 machine screws (included with fitting tabs) are used to secure it in place. Ensure the strike is oriented so that the bolt hole aligns with the lock bolt.
