PaxLock Mortise

The edge of the PaxLock Mortise or handle is 
clipping the door frame when opening and 
closing the door.

The PaxLock Mortise will not sit flush against 
the door when installed.

If this occurs, it may be a result of the backset 
on the lock case being too low. We recommend 
a minimum measurement of 2¹/₈" to be 
suitable for most doors. The lockcase will need 
replacing with one with an increased backset 
measurement if this is the case.

The through door holes must be 5/16" 
diameter and the central follower must have 
at least 15/16" clearance around it. If this is not 
the case it will need correcting before installing 
the PaxLock Mortise.

The through door cables have sheered when 
installing the handle assembly.

There is free play in the handles.

The PaxLock Mortise is not responding when I 
present a token

This may be because the door is too narrow 
for the bolts that have been used. Refer to the 
template for the correct bolt and spindles sizes 
for each door thickness.

It is important the grub screws on both handles 
are fully tightened to remove any free play.

Make sure the secure side handle assembly is 
installed. This is required for the PaxLock Mortise 
to function.

The door is hitting the wall when opened.

Door seals installed post install are applying too 
much pressure to the latch and deadbolt. 

The door rubs against the frame/floor when 
opened.

It is important that a door stop is installed to 
prevent the handle hitting a wall or object 
when the door is opened fully. Failure to do this 
can damage the PaxLock Mortise when swung 
open.

Door seals must be routed into the frame to 
prevent excessive force on the latch when the 
door is closed. The strike plate may need to 
be moved if seals have been installed without 
accounting for the tolerance needed.

The door or frame may need shaving down to 
ensure smooth operation.
