Attention Installer
Any retrofit or other field modification to a fire
rated opening can potentially impact the fire
rating of the opening, and Yale Locks & Hardware
makes no representations or warranties
concerning what such impact may be in any
specific situation. When retrofitting any portion of
an existing fire rated opening, or specifying and
installing a new fire-rated opening, please consult
with a code specialist or local code official
(Authority Having Jurisdiction) to ensure
compliance with all applicable codes and ratings.

To Change Hands
Check Before Starting
Unreinforced Doors or Frames
Doors and Frames with walls having a structural
thickness (metal skin plus reinforcement or solid
hardwood) to engage less than (3) full screw threads
are considered unreinforced.
Unreinforced Doors: Use SNB (sex nuts and bolts).
Unreinforced Frames: Use Blind Rivet Nuts.
Recommended fasteners for unreinforced openings
are not necessarily supplied by Yale Locks and
Hardware.

Maintenance
1. Periodically remove covers and coat mechanisms
with a silicone base lubricant. This is particularly
required in corrosive environments for proper product
function.
2. Check mounting fasteners periodically. Retighten if
found loose. Apply screw locking compound (available
at automotive part stores) or change part fasteners if
screws continue to back out.
3. Periodic checks (and adjustments) of strikes are
required to compensate for changes in the opening
(e.g. door sagging).
1. Mark Door
Door and frame must
meet structural and
dimensional specifications
on exit device template(s)
for door and frame
preparation.
Single Door or Pair without Mullion
Locate and Mark Horizontal and Vertical
Reference Centerlines as shown.
LHR door shown. Preparation is typical for both
door hands.
Caution: If device is mounted higher or lower
than shown, rod length must change. Lengthen
or cut top and bottom rods as shown on Step 5.
