Installation Instructions for CAVILOCK CL400
ADA Magnetic Passage Handle

Before you Start:

1. This handle has been manufactured to specifications which cannot be altered by the installer. These include

Handle type,

Configuration, Handing and Door thickness range. Refer to the information printed on the Side

Handle and Chassis boxes to ensure you have pu rchase d a handle with the corr ect specific ations for your
situation. If the sp ecific ations are inco rrect you will ne ed to exchange the ha ndle.

2. Component drawings have been provided. Please familiarise yourself with the components and check the

package to ensure nothing is missing. Note: Components may vary slightly between configurations.

3. To ensure the handle latches accurately, it is essential that the door is adjusted for height and is parallel

with the closing jamb when closed before installing the handle and striker.

4. This is a metric handle. Accurate measurements are shown in millimetres. Conversions to inches are

approximate.

5. NZS4121:2001: To comply with NZS4121:2001 the offset handle option must be used. The centre of the handle

should be positioned between 900mm and 1200mm (1000mm optimal) above finished floor level. The door
needs to be at least 910mm wide (Aust. 1050mm) to allow minimum clear walk through of 760mm (Aust.
850mm). There must be a 45mm clear space from edge of pull handle to the nearest door jamb when the door
is both fully open and completely closed. A flat closing jamb is recommended. Consult local standards for
guidelines relating to the specific project.

USA ADA (American Disabilities Act) Guidelines: Handle should be positioned between 34 - 48” above

finished floor level. Allow a minimum of four inches for the protrusion of the door in the open position.
This can be achieved by using track stops or blocking in the back of the pocket. Consult local standards for
guidelines relating to the specific project.

WARNING: THE STRIKER CONTAINS A STRONG MAGNET

IRON FILINGS - Magnets will attract shavings from iron or ferrous metals which may be hard to

remove. Keep the striker a safe distance away from these materials.

DANGER FOR CHILDREN - Magnets may cause serious injury if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children.
CRUSHING, BLISTERS AND CUTS - Fingers may become caught between magnets resulting in crushing,

blisters or cuts.
BREAKING OR CHIPPING - It is possible that magnets could chip or shatter on contact with other hard
materials, resulting in chips flying off at high speed into someone’s eye. Chips can also be very sharp ­treat them as you would broken glass.
MAGNETICALLY SENSITIVE ITEMS - Keep a safe distance between the magnet and all objects that can
be damaged by magnetism (e.g. mechanical watches, pacemakers, cell phones etc.).
DISPOSAL - Magnets should be disposed of carefully and in accordance with your local regulations.
