NOTE: All dimensions are based on 1/2" stop height; Verify strikes, stile width, any trim and stop
height prior to making any cuts. If cutting is required follow instructions below.
Size AA:
Fits 48" door opening without cutting.
Can be cut to fit a 32 1/2" minimum door opening.
Size BB:
Fits 36" door opening without cutting.
Can be cut to fit a 26 1/2" minimum door opening.
Size CC:
Fits 36" door opening with out cutting.
Using a shorter touch pad then the standard "B"
size allows it to be cut to 23 1/2" door opening.
Verify device length with box label; "AA", "BB" or "CC", ie. 9700BB
Note: If door opening width is less then standard touch bar will have
to be cut down. ie: door opening width 34" subtract 2" from rear of
touch bar and rail, tape and cut to length as shown.
