4. Setup and Installation
The ABUS MT90 is designed for straightforward installation on both DIN right and DIN left doors. Follow these steps for proper mounting:
- Prepare the Door Frame: Identify the mounting location on your door frame. The compact design (16mm width) allows for flexible placement. Ensure the surface is clean and stable.
- Mark Screw Holes: Position the door opener in the desired location and use a pencil to mark the positions for the mounting screws.
- Drill Pilot Holes: If necessary, drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Ensure the drill bit size is appropriate for the mounting screws to prevent splitting the wood or damaging the frame.

5. Operating Instructions
The ABUS MT90 operates purely mechanically. When the door closes, the door's latch bolt engages with the opener's mechanism, securing the door in the closed position.
To open the door, simply turn the door handle. The mechanical action of the handle will retract the door's latch bolt, allowing it to disengage from the door opener and the door to open. The integrated mechanical unlocking feature ensures smooth and reliable operation.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ABUS MT90 Mechanical Door Opener:
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the door opener for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components.
- Cleaning: Clean the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal mechanisms.
- Fasteners: Ensure all mounting screws remain tight. Loose screws can affect the door opener's alignment and functionality.
- Lubrication: If the mechanism feels stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts, if recommended by ABUS. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dust and debris.
