Installation
Fitting & Positioning the Spindle
Tubular Latch/lock case - non key override models
Select one of the two spindles supplied 80mm/90mm - use the longest spindle possible. Trimming the spindle down
may be required, but this would depend entirely on the thickness of the door. It is recommended that 15mm of the
bladed part of the spindle goes into the back of the keypad and inside handle e.g. If the door is 44mm thick the over-
all spindle length wants to be 74mm.
When putting the spindle through the latch/lock case, ensure that the bladed part of the spindle is angled to the top
opening edge of the door as per image
below.
Please note if the spindle is cut too short this may cause the spindle to slip out of position if the door is
slammed and result in users being locked out.
Tubular Latch/Lock case - Key Override Models
The unit is supplied with a sprung spindle. The spindle comes preset to suit a right hand hung door; whereby the
spring is located around the bladed part of the spindle which will go into the inside handle. The spring is fitted to the
spindle to ensure the spindle is located and held into the back of the keypad to allow the key override to function
correctly. Once you have determined what side of the spindle will go into the inside handle - if the spindle needs to
be trimmed it is recommended that the blade which will be going into the back of the inside handle is trimmed.
When putting the spindle through the latch/lock case, ensure that the bladed part of the spindle is angled to the top
opening edge of the door as pe
r image below.
Please note if the spindle is cut too short on the side which goes into the keypad the key override
will not work; however the inside handle and keypad will operate correctly after entering the correct code.
Narrow Stile/Aluminium Latch
Select one of the three spindles supplied 80mm/90mm or 130mm
- use the longest spindle possible. Trimming the
spindle down may be required, but this would depend entirely on the thickness of the door. It is recommended that
15mm of the bladed part of the spindle goes into the back of the keypad and inside handle e.g. If the door is 54mm
thick the overall spindle length wants to be 84mm.
When putting the spindle through the latch/lock case, ensure that the bladed part of the spindle is angled to the top
opening edge of the door as pe
