Using the
HIT-45 clamping
system to
install mortise
locks.
The HIT-45 modular clamping system utilizes a unique design that is both
self aligning and self centering on all types of doors. The HIT-45 uses two
internal locating studs that always assures that the backset is located from
the center of the door edge regardless of the door type of the door edge
encountered (flat, beveled or radius door edge). With the appropriate
templates installed, the HIT-45 can be used to route lock openings in
aluminum frames or install mortise locks on wood and hollow metal doors.
To setup your job simply attach the appropriate templates to the HIT-45
modular clamp and tighten the assembly to the door. Remember,
clamping pressure is always positive and therefore moderate clamping
torque applied to the clamping knobs is all that is needed.
