MARK VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL REFERENCE LINES ON DOOR

WITH DOOR CLOSED:

1. Determine dimension “A” to locate vertical reference line. If door stile is 4-1/2" wide or wider, “A” is 2-3/4".

If door stile is less than 4-1/2", “A” is 1/2 the exposed

width of the door stile when the door is closed against the stop.

2. Standard rail centerline height is 41" above the ﬁnished ﬂoor. Horizontal reference line is 37-5/8" standard. (Location of lower chassis mounting holes)

Vertical reference line (CL chassis, top and bottom case)

SECOND

WITH DOOR CLOSED:

1. Tape template for Chassis/Trim on inside of door, along vertical and horizontal reference lines.

2. Fold top case template and tape on inside of door along vertical reference lines.

3. Spot and drill all holes from inside of door.

4. Mortise pockets for outside trim, if required. See trim installation instructions supplied with trim for details.

NOTE: Any holes drilled from the outside need pilot holes drilled

from the inside to ensure good alignment.

NOTE: For electrical trim applications, ensure access to a race-

way from the trim to the electric hinge or armored door loop.
