Installing Tri-Loks on Horizontal Slide Door |
1. Installing in the same location as an existing escutcheon:
- Obtain a wood dowel or aluminum rod the same diameter
- as the present hole about 3" long.
- Take a hole saw mandrill and drill into the end of the dowel or
- rod. This will provide a guide for drilling out 7/8" holes.
- Install 7/8" hole saw on mandrill.
- Drill from inside of door to obtain 7/8" hole.
- Install Tri-Lok assembly as directed below starting in 2*.
2. Installing without an existing escutcheon or in a new location:
- On inside of shaftway door locate centerline of release key hole.
- If new interlocks are being installed refer to lock manufacturer's - drawing.
- Utilizing a 7/8" hole saw, drill out the hole from inside of door.
- Go to front of door and insert plug lock receiver with plug lock
- removed. Be sure wide slot in rear of receiver is perpendicular to - floor.
* Place lock washer over retainer sleeve and insert retainer sleeve - in hole on inside of door. Engage threads of retainer with threads - of receiver and hand tighten.
- Continue tightening with open end wrench until snug fit is
- obtained and receiver face is flat against outside face of door.
- Insert door interlock release key from outside of door and be
- sure it releases lock properly.
- Insert plug lock in receiver and remove plug lock key.
3. Drill small hole in end of interlock release key (tool) and, using a
Tri-Lok key ring, attach the Tri-Lok plug key to the releasing tool.
Note: When relocating holes on a door, use 1/4" x 2" carriage bolts to plug the old hole. We recommend painting head of carriage bolt to match the door color before installation.
