DESCRIPTION
These instructions detail the hardware installation procedure for the ArchiTech mortise door locks using the Surface-
Mounted Networx Control Units for hollow metal and solid wood doors.
Installation instructions for the Door Contact Sensor, Door Contact Magnet (installed in the door jamb) and the
Oval and Rectangular Proximity Readers are also included.
PARTS OVERVIEW
For reference, the images in Fig. A below display each component (not to scale). In addition to the various screws
included with your mortise lock, please be aware that two types of Proximity Readers are available (either Oval or
Rectangular) but only one type is included with your lock. Furthermore, one of two types of Door Contact
Magnets (installed in door jamb) are included (either 3/8" or 3/4" diameter). We recommend taking the time to
read through these instructions, find and familiarize yourself with each component before you begin your installation.
As detailed in the instructions that follow, the Proximity R ea der wires, the D oor Conta ct Sensor wires and the Mortise
Lock Motor Wire are routed through the door and are plugged into the Surface-Mounted Networx Control
Unit. The Mortise Lock Motor Wire can easily be routed within hollow metal doors. For solid wood doors, a
Mortise Drill Jig (part #N95I1DJ) must be used to drill a hole pathway within the solid wood door to route the
Mortise Lock Motor Wire.

REQUIRED TOOLS
In addition to the standard door prep kit tools used to install a mortise lock into a metal or wood door (Phillips and flat
head screwdrivers, etc.), you will need: A small level, and the following drill bit sizes: 5/8", 3/8", 3/4" and 7/64".
IMPORTANT: For installation on UL Listed Wood Fire Doors fill the through hole wire passage with UL Clas-
sified Fire Stop Sealant after connecting all wiring and testing the Lock.

DOOR PREP: INITIAL STEPS
1. INSPECT THE DOOR BEVEL
Inspect the door for a bevel and, if beveled, determine which side is "longer" in width and which side is "shorter" in
width (see "top view" example in Fig. 1). For beveled doors, be sure to use the correct marks printed on the template
for the correct length of the outside door surface (either the "long" or "short" side of the door).

2. PREP DOOR FOR MORTISE LOCK
If not done already, use standard door prep kit tools and the instructions included with the mortise lock to prep the
door and door jamb as required. These include mortising the door edge for the latch plate and mortising the door
jamb for the strike plate.
Do not install the lock hardware yet.

3. TAPE ON DOOR: "PROXIMITY READER" TEMPLATE (USE WI2102
FOR SOLID WOOD DOORS, OR USE WI2154 FOR FIRE RATED METAL DOORS)
Remember, the Proximity Reader is always located on the outside
("unprotected" side) door surface.
Fold and place the template on the outside door edge (see arrow in Fig. 3
for an example). Align the template with the "HORIZONTAL CENTER
LINE OF LEVER" as shown on the template. Tape the template in place.
IMPORTANT: For installation on UL Listed Wood Fire Doors fill the
through hole wire passage with UL Classified Fire Stop Sealant after connecting all wiring and testing the Lock.

4. MARK TEMPLATE "PROXIMITY READER" HOLES
On the outside door surface, mark the two holes for the Proximity Reader mounting screws.
Mark the center of this wire passage hole (used for the Mortise Lock M otor Wire , Proximity Reader and Door Contact
Sensor wires). Do NOT remove the template yet. Note: This hole is a 5/8" Diameter Thru-Hole for wood doors
(template WI2102) and a 1/2" Diameter NON-Thru-Hole for fire rated metal doors (template WI2154).
TIP: Take special notice of this hole, as it is an essential hole for this installation and is referenced several
times throughout these instructions.

5. MARK TEMPLATE "DOOR CONTACT SENSOR" HOLE
Mark the 3/4" Door Contact Sensor hole in the center edge of the door (adjust for the door thickness).
Carefully remove the template.

6. MARK "DOOR CONTACT MAGNET" ON JAMB
The Door C ontact M agne t must be installed in the door jamb such that when the door is closed, the Door C ontac t Se n-
sor is located directly opposite the Magnet. Install as f ollow s:
6A. Open the door and temporarily place a piece of tape across the center of the mark made for the Door Contact
Sensor in the previous step. This tape signifies the height (from the floor) of the Door Contact Sensor.
6B. Close the door. Transfer this height to the door jamb with a light pencil mark.
6C. Determine the center location on the jamb directly opposite the Door Contact S ensor when the door is closed.
Open the door and measure the distance from the door edge to the center of the Door Conta ct Se nsor (0.875"
or ⅞"). Transfer this distance to the door jamb, measured from the door stop.

7. TAPE ON DOOR: "SURFACE-MOUNTED NETWORX CONTROL UNIT"
TEMPLATE (WI2103)
The Surface-Mounted Netw orx Control Unit (see Fig. A on page 1) is al-
ways mounted on the inside ("protected" side) door surface.
Fold and place the template (WI2103) on the inside door edge. Align the
template with the "HORIZONTAL CENTER LINE OF LEVER" as shown on
the template. Tape the template in place.

8. MARK TEMPLATE "SURFACE-MOUNTED NETWORX CONTROL UNIT" HOLES
On the inside ("protected") door surface, mark the two Control U nit Mounting P late (Fig. 8) holes using the correct mark-
ings printed on the template (if door is beveled, use correct markings for beveled doors as described in step 1).
The center of the wire passage hole was already marked on the outside surface in step 4; for the inside door surface,
mark the center of this same 5/8" Diameter Hole. This 5/8" Diameter Hole is used for the Mortise Lock Motor Wire,
Proximity Reader and Door Contact Sensor wires. Note: This 5/8" Diameter Hole is a thru-hole for wood doors
and an offset NON-thru-hole for fire rated metal doors (template WI2103).
Carefully remove the template.
