Installation Instructions

Surface Mount Installation

Determine wall switch mounting location based on wall construction,

1

applicable standards and intended use. In high use and abuse areas, a
solid mounting surface or additional reinforcement may be required
behind the box.

Punch out holes in box in areas indicated on the front view drawing by the

2

notation “mounting screw punch outs.”

Determine stud location in mounting area. Drill holes in mounting surface

3

and into mounting stud.

Insert appropriate fastener through box and into mounting surface and

4

tighten securely. For mounting directly into a stud or solid wall, the
recommended fastener is a #8-32 x 1” wood screw. For mounting into
a hollow wall or surface, the recommended fastener is a #8-32 x 1”
toggle bolt.

Complete wall switch assembly using instructions included with your

5

wall switch.

NOTE: Larco’s Labor Saver System can be used to affix mounting boxes to partitions
and walls where mechanical fasteners cannot be used. Instructions for the Labor
Saver System can be found in the Resource section of our website: www.Larco.com.

Observe all manufacturers’ recommendations for safety and operation of their
products. ANSI/BHMA standards that offer specific recommendations for each type
and class of automatic door have been developed. To obtain a copy of the ANSI/
BHMA standard that applies to the installation, visit www.buildershardware.com or

Installation Instructions

Flush Mount Installation

Determine wall switch mounting location based on wall construction,

1

applicable standards and intended use. In high use and abuse areas, a
solid mounting surface or additional reinforcement may be required
behind the box.

Determine stud location in mounting area. Cut an access hole adjacent to

2

stud for extra support. Access hole dimensions should be 6-3/4” square
for a full sized (6”) wall switch and 5-1/4” for a reduced size (4-1/4”) wall
switch. Trace around the box as a guide.

Punch out holes in box in areas indicated on the front view drawing by the

3

notation “mounting screw punch outs” (see reverse side).

Slide the flush mounting ring over the mounting box.

4

Thread two #8-32 screws through the pilot holes and into the retaining

5

bracket. Do not tighten screws completely.

Insert the mounting box and bracket into the access hole. The bracket is

6

slightly larger than the access hole. Squeeze the sides of the bracket into
the mounting box and gently force the bracket through the hole. Tighten
both screws until the assembly is held tightly to the wall surface.
