FAQ – Installation PDFs

Why does the template insist on 100% scale?
To keep fixing centres accurate. Any scaling will shift hole positions.

Do I need recessed floor strikes for vertical-rod sets?
Preferred for consistency and durability. Use surface strikes where recessing isn’t possible.

Can I use these on fire doors?
Yes—provided device + strikes/keepers + fixings match the door’s certification.

What does “three consecutive positive relatches” mean?
Operate the device three times in a row; each time the latch must fully engage under closer control without assistance.
