Face Plate Set Up:
Always be sure the machine is turned off and disconnected from air when making adjustments to
the lock sections. Also, be sure that the drill motors have come to a complete stop.
The size of the face plate is determined by four stop pins. Two of these are mounted on rotating
turrets.
Plate Length:
To adjust the plate length or horizontal travel,, change the two pins. If the plate router is set up for
a 2 1/4" cut, it will be necessary to remove the bolt which holds the right slotted stop in place.
Consult the pin chart in the manual for pin lengths.
Plate Width:
Plate Router Vertical Travel - Plate router vertical travel is established by rotating stop turrets like
those found on the hinge section. These turrets have four positions: setups for 1" and 1 1/8" for
either a square edge or a three degree beveled edge.
The bolts are color coded:
 Red = 1" Square Edge
 Blue = 1 1/8" Square Edge
 Silver = 1" Beveled Edge
 White = 1 1/8" Beveled Edge
Notice that no changes need to be made to these turrets in order to change among doors of varying
thicknesses since the lock section centers the door when it clamps. If for some reason the face plate is not
centered on the latch hole, you can adjust the screws that contact the turret bolts. If both the plate and
latch hole are off center contact KVAL for instructions on shimming the self centering clamp system. In
no case should you adjust the bolts in the turrets since these are micrometer set at the factory. Self
Centering For 2 1/4" Thick Doors May Require Moving The Roller Wheels On The Lock Section To The
Lower Set Of Holes, Diagonally Adjacent To Each Of The Present Wheel Mounting Locations.
PLATE ROUTER DEPTH:
The router ring sets plate cut depth. When the machine is set up to machine three degree bevel face plates
the router needs adjustment inwards. Use pencil marks on the router motor to set square and bevel depths.
