Hager 3500 Series Cylindrical Passage Lock Instruction Manual

1. Product Overview

The Hager 3510 Grade 2 passage lever set offers a robust combination of value and performance, making it an ideal choice for typical commercial applications. This lock is designed for doors that do not require locking, such as hallway doors, closet doors, or utility rooms. It is available in various ADA compliant lever styles and serves as an economical alternative to Grade 1 locks when the highest security rating is not a primary requirement.

Key features include inside and outside rose liners with independent high-strength torsion springs, ensuring smooth bi-directional lever movement without sagging. Its non-handed design allows for easy field reversibility, simplifying installation. The set includes an ASA strike plate for comprehensive installation.

4. Installation Guide

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing your Hager 3500 Series Cylindrical Passage Lock. For a visual guide, please refer to the official installation video below.

4.1. Preparation

1. Unbox Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and verify against the "Components Included" list.
2. Prepare Door: If installing on a new door, use the provided template to mark and drill holes for the lock body and latch mechanism. Ensure correct backset (2-3/4" or 2-3/8"). For existing doors, ensure the holes are clean and correctly sized.

4.2. Latch Installation

1. Insert the latch mechanism into the edge bore hole of the door, ensuring the bevel of the latch bolt faces the door frame.
2. Secure the latch faceplate to the door edge using the provided screws. Do not overtighten.

4.3. Lever Assembly Installation

1. Separate the interior and exterior lever assemblies if they are pre-assembled.
2. Insert the exterior lever assembly (with the spindle) through the larger cross bore hole in the door, ensuring the spindle engages with the latch mechanism.
3. Align the interior lever assembly with the exterior assembly, ensuring the posts from the exterior assembly pass through the corresponding holes in the interior assembly.
4. Secure the two lever assemblies together using the through-bolts or screws provided. Tighten evenly to prevent binding.
5. Test the lever action to ensure the latch retracts smoothly from both sides.

4.4. Strike Plate Installation

1. Align the strike plate with the latch bolt on the door frame. Mark the screw holes.
2. Chisel out a shallow mortise for the strike plate if necessary, ensuring it sits flush with the door frame.
3. Secure the strike plate using the provided screws.
4. Close the door and test the latch engagement with the strike plate to ensure smooth closing and opening.

5. Operating Instructions

The Hager 3500 Series Cylindrical Passage Lock is designed for simple, non-locking operation. To open a door equipped with this lock, simply depress the lever handle on either side of the door. The latch bolt will retract, allowing the door to open. Release the lever, and the latch bolt will extend, securing the door when closed.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Hager passage lock:

• Cleaning: Clean the lock's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically (e.g., once a year), apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the latch bolt and the internal mechanism through the spindle hole. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and grime.
• Tightening: Check all mounting screws periodically and tighten them if they have become loose. Do not overtighten.
