GENERAL NOTES
Before installing exit device, verify or note the following:
1. The door surface must be flat and properly
reinforced at the exit device mounting locations. If
door is not reinforced, the door surface may
collapse or bow-in, causing malfunction in the exit
device operation.
2. Door must be properly fitted and hung.
3. The 3' exit device model can be cut to fit doors from
30 to 38" (762 to 965 mm) in width.
The 4' exit device model can be cut to fit doors from
38 to 48" (965 to 1219 mm) in width.
4. Determine door handing (see illustration above). Rim exit
device is non-handed.
5. For wood doors or hollow metal doors use wood/sheet
metal screws, and for metal reinforced doors drill & tap
and use machine screws. (Refer to Template document).
