Model CL600/605 Installation Instructions
The model CL600/605 is intended to replace the conventional door
furniture fitted to an existing mortice latch, or an existing mortice lock
which has both a spring latch and a deadbolt. The square follower
should be 8mm (5/16”) square. Any lock and key mechanism is
retained to operate the deadbolt. The CL600/605 will only operate
the latchbolt and not the deadbolt. A mortice lock case should have
holes for fixing bolts to pass through on either side of the square
latch follower and sometimes, additionally, a hole below the follower.
See figure 1 and confirm that your lockcase is compatible with the
CL600/605 lock plates.
IF YOUR LOCKCASE HAS A HOLE BELOW THE FOLLOWER
(FIGURE 1 ‘A’), PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
STEP 1
Hold the neoprene seal with the three fixing holes against the door,
vertically, with the rectangular hole centrally over the follower. Mark
the top and bottom holes on the door face, and repeat the procedure
on the other side of the door. Remove the lock. At three points drill
a10mm ( / ”) hole through the door. Drill from both sides for greater
3
8
accuracy and to avoid splintering out of the door face. Check that
the existing spindle hole is at least 18mm ( / ”) diameter. Refit the
3
4
lock.
IMPORTANT: When using CL600/CL605 front and back plates only,
please test with your selected lock-case to ensure that the latch
retracts fully from the code side without too much resistance. Some
lock-cases have a heavily sprung latch follower designed for use
with un-sprung lever furniture. This heavy springing can defeat the
clutch on our locks.
Please note the code chamber for mechanical locks requires the
lever to be rotated at least 45 degrees to re-set the lock for the next
code user.
Please contact our Codelocks technical department if you are
unsure. Codelocks Limited does not accept responsibility for
products incorrectly specified.
STEP 2
Take the BLUE or RED tipped spindle and fit to the code side
according to the hand of your door (see diagram).
Fit remaining spindle to inside - non code side.
STEP 3
Cut three of the socket head bolts to the required length for your
door. Approximate overall length should be door thickness plus
25mm (1”), to allow about 10mm ( / ”) of threaded bolt to enter the
3
8
outside plate.
STEP 4
Remove plastic insert plug from frontplate. Apply the front and back
plates, with the neoprene seals in position, against the door, over
the protruding ends of the spindle.
STEP 5
Fix the two plates together using the socket head bolts, starting with
the top fixings. Ensure that the two plates are truly vertical and then
tighten the bolts using the ‘T’ shaped Allen key. Do not use
excessive force.
STEP 6
Fit the lever handles to suit the hand of the door. To change the
hand of a lever handle, loosen the grub screw with the small Allen
key, reverse the lever handle and fully tighten the grub screw.
STEP 7
Ensure that the latchbolt retracts after the code is entered and the
lever handle is depressed. Now check the operation of the inside
lever handle. If there is any binding of the handles or latch then
loosen the bolts slightly and reposition the plates until the correct
position is found, and then re-tighten the bolts.
