PaxLock Pro – Installation
and Commissioning Guide

Overview

Checks to make prior to installation

Through door holes

When installing a PaxLock Pro it is important to
ensure the environment the PaxLock Pro is to be
installed in is t for purpose.

This application note covers the preparation that
should be carried out before, during and after
installation to ensure the longevity of the PaxLock
Pro as well as correct installation.

Before installing the PaxLock Pro onto the door it is important to check that the door, frame and any
relevant door furniture are in good working order. This is important to ensure both the longevity and
smooth operation of the PaxLock Pro once installed

.

The PaxLock Pro has been designed to work with locksets that are either European (DIN 18251-1) or
Scandinavian prole as shown in Figure 1.

The through door holes must be 8mm diameter and the central follower must have at least 20mm
clearance around it.

It is recommended that the PaxLock Pro is installed with a new lockcase to ensure the smooth operation
of the PaxLock Pro.
If an existing lock set is being used it must meet the following specications:

• DIN 18251-1 certied for European locksets

• Backset of ≥55mm

• Centres measurement of ≥70mm if using key override for European style locksets

• Centres measurement of ≥105mm if using key override for Scandinavian style locksets

• Turning angle of ≤45°

The lockset must be both horizontally and vertically aligned to the door as shown in gure 2.

It is best practice to ensure there is a gap of ≤3mm from the door edge to the frame. This is to ensure that
if an anti-cord plunger is present on the lock case, it can function correctly.

The door keep should also be ≤15mm to avoid clashing with the PaxLock Pro when the door is closed.

The distance between the bottom of the door and the oor must be sucient to allow the door to freely
open and close without rubbing on the oor.
