ENFORCER Electromechanical Push Bars feature a double-locking spindle for stronger and more
secure locking. All models include a cylinder lock for keyed entry and some models offer solenoidactuation to allow unlocking and relocking by an access control device.
• Double-locking spindle (stronger and more secure)
• Available in manual or solenoid-actuated versions
• Solenoid rated for both continuous and intermittent operation
• Aluminum alloy construction in a reversible, non-handed design
• Fail-Secure operation (but can be opened from inside by pressing the bar)
• Lock status monitoring for returning status to the access control system
• Mortise lock cylinder and keys included to release the lock from the outside
• Dogging latch on push bar to hold open
• Includes all needed hardware for typical installations

Installation
Please read the entire manual carefully before beginning installation
1. Measure and draw a horizontal line on the inside of
the door 40" (102cm) above the floor or according to
local regulations. This will be the push bar centerline.
2. Use the supplied metal template to mark lines for
cutting away the stop for the strike assembly and all
mounting holes and lock cylinder holes. Measure
carefully to mark the two holes away from the locking
mechanism, noting the different spacings (see Fig. 1).
3. Drill 3/16" (4mm) mounting holes and other holes in the
door and install lock assembly, ensuring the spindle
extends at least 3/16" (5mm) (see Fig. 2 for metal doors
and Fig. 3 for wood doors).
4. Remove end cap screws and remove end caps. Slide
the push bar off the base to access the terminals.
5. Thread the wiring through the wiring hole near the
terminals. Install the push bar base (see Fig. 4) and
connect wiring (see Sample Application and Wiring
Diagram on pg. 4). Slide the push bar back into place
and replace the end caps.
6. Drill the two blind nut holes, precisely 1/4" (7mm), for
the strike assembly (see Fig. 5).
NOTE: The holes must be drilled to the precise size.
7. Insert a blind nut, put the washer on the hex screw
followed by the hex tool (see Fig. 6). Turn the screw
by hand into the blind nut. Use a wrench to hold the
hex tool and slowly tighten the hex screw with the
included hex wrench until it becomes difficult to turn.
This compresses the blind nut so that it remains
permanently fixed. Remove the hex screw and hex
tool and repeat for the other blind nut.

8. Install the strike assembly as shown in Fig. 5 on pg. 3. Ensure a
3
/16" (4~5 mm) gap between the strike assembly and end cap
(see Fig. 7). Use included spacers as needed.
9. Ensure the push bar and strike are operating smoothly and the
locking spindle teeth fully engage the strike before tightening the
two main strike assembly screws. Drill and install the middle
screw as the final step (see Fig. 5 on pg. 3).
