OPERATIONAL NOTE:
The Simplex Mortise lock is almost identical to the Simplex 5000
Cylindrical lock with the following exceptions:
1. Operation of the Lever When the lock’s handing is properly set,
only a downward rotation of lever will actuate latch.
2. Key Override Use The key override differs in that rotating the key
does not actuate the latch. To use the key override the key must
be inserted into the cylinder and rotated counter clockwise until
it stops (approximately 90 degrees) then while holding the key in
this position with one hand use the other hand to rotate the lever
downward to retract the latch. Once the lever has rotated a few
degrees the key may be released.
