5. INSTALL BOTTOM LATCH MOUNTING BRACKET (Skip this step if installing as LBR)
Remove bottom latch cover and mounting bracket from bottom latch assembly. Apply
template to door using edge of door and either top of threshold or finished floor. Mark and
drill holes as shown on template. If using bottom strike, use template to mark location for
bottom strike anchor. Be sure the vertical centerline for the bottom latch mounting holes
is 1 7/16” from the edge of door. Install bottom latch mounting bracket.
- For metal doors, drill and tap for 1/4”-20 machine screws
- For wood doors, pre-drill 1/8” holes
- For Sex Bolts, drill 5/16” clearance holes on exit device side (push side) and 3/8” on pull
side.

6. INSTALL BOTTOM STRIKE (Skip this step if using a panic threshold or installing as LBR)
STEP 1: Bottom strike anchor location should already be marked. If
not, extend bottom latch mounting bracket centerline to
finished floor or threashold
STEP 2: Cut out hole in finished floor or threashold for bottom strike.
For flush mounting, the hole depth should be 13/16” deep.
For surface mounting, the hole depth should be 11/16”
STEP 3: At bottom of strike cutout, mark and drill Ø1/2” by 7/8” deep
hole for screw anchor
STEP 4: Insert anchor and secure bottom strike to anchor
NOTE: If required, grout around bottom strike to acquire flush and
level floor. If bottom strike is being installed in a saddle
threshold, a minimum 1/2” gap is required at bottom of door.
