CORRECT TEMPLATE FOR THE STRIKE BEING

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND EAR PROTECTION!!

Before attempting any installation know how to safely use
the power tools involved and how they work. Be sure all
bits and cutters are sharp and in good condition and all
power cords and extension cords are in good working
order and properly grounded.

Always make sure the router comes to a COMPLETE
STOP before pulling it away from the template. Failure to
do so may cause damage to your router template, your
work or personal injury.

Always route in a CLOCKWISE direction. A
counterclockwise direction will cause the router bit to
climb in the cut and cause an unstable situation.

If you feel you have missed part of the cut, DO NOT
BACK UP!! You will be making a clean up pass that will
take care of the problem.

These are the most important tools that you will use in this installation.

Always use eye and ear protection!!

Your router needs to be equipped with a 3/8”
outside diameter template guide mounted in
its base. Failure to use a template guide will
cause the opening being routed to be too
large and will damage your HIT-41 template.

See our catalog or web site for a list of

available router template guides.

Install a 1/4” diameter aluminum cutting
router bit into the router collet and secure
tightly. Do not bottom the bit in the collet, hold
it about 1/16” from bottoming. Adjust the
router bit so it will route about 1/4” to 3/8” into
the door channel.

The electric strike being installed in the following

demonstration is for an offset hung door. There are strike

models available for both offset and center hung doors.

If mounting in a center hung jamb, be sure there is

depth clearance for the strike!

Our web site has a complete listing of templates.
