5. INSTALLATION
Two installation examples are detailed on the following pages; mortise and surface, however any combination of the
two can be achieved. Whichever installation method is chosen it is vital to ensure that the lock face plate and the
strike plate align correctly and the gap between the lock face plate and strike plate does not exceed 7mm
when the door is closed.
5.1. Mortise Installation
A typical mortise installation is described with the lock fitted into the door frame and the strike plate secured into the
door. It is possible to install the lock into the door and the strike plate into the frame however with this method running
wiring to the lock requires additional work.
5.1.1. Cutting the mortises
Referring to the dimension drawings in Section 3 -
Dimensions; mortises arecut into the door and door
frame suitable to fit the strike plate and lock.
Wooden doors and frames require full mortises
where metal doors and frames, being hollow, often
only require a single rectangle cut-out to
accommodate the lock face plate or strike plate. For
these installations the supplied fitting tabs can be
used to secure the lock and strike plate in place.
The mortise behind the lock body needs to have
enough space to accommodate the wiring.
5.1.2. Wiring the lock
Wires are run from the power supply to the lock. A
hole needs to be drilled in the back of themortise to
bring the wires out and a connection can be made
to the supplied wire loom which in turn plugs into
the lock. The jumper needs to be positioned for fail
safe / fail secure configuration as per the
instructions on the lock cover.
The Red, Black and Blue wires are essential
connections whilst the Violet and White are
optional. Detailed wiring instructions are found in
Section 6 - Wiring.
5.1.3. Fitting the lock and strike plate
The lock is slid back into the mortise, making sure
that the wiring integrity is maintained and secure in
place with the supplied 10G self-tapping screws.
Before the strike plate is installed the fitting tabs are
secured in behind the cut-out using the supplied M5
machine screws. The strike plate is then placed into
the cut out and the remaining M5 screws are used
to secure it.
