5. Installation Instructions
The Sargent & Greenleaf 1300V lock is designed for quick and simple installation. This section outlines the steps for installing the V-Series Slam Latch. Ensure you have all package contents as listed in Section 3.
Important Notes Before Installation:
- The maximum door thickness when using the Slam Latch is 13/16" (20mm).
- Familiarize yourself with the operation and programming of the V-Series before fitting to the Slam Latch.
- A 1/16" (2mm) Allen Key is required for installation.
Installation Steps:
- Remove Mounting Plate: Unscrew the 4 mounting bolts to remove the mounting plate from the Slam Latch.
- Position Mounting Plate: Use the mounting plate as a template. Position it on the inside face of the door as dictated by the door frame. Mark the 13/16" (18mm) spindle hole and top 1/4" (6mm) mounting hole.
Important: When positioning your Slam Latch, take into account any rebate, strike plate, or frame that the door closes against, leaving a gap of between 1/16" (2mm) and 5/32" (4mm) from the latch body.
- Drill Holes: Drill the 13/16" (18mm) spindle mounting hole and the 1/16" (18mm) mounting hole.
- Choose Spindle: Select the appropriate spindle length for your door thickness. The spindle fitted should project by a minimum of 5/8" (17mm) and a maximum of 13/16" (20mm) from the inside face of the door.
Note: This may be different to the spindle length suggested in the V-Series Installation Instructions.
- Fit V-Series to Door: Pass the spindle through the 13/16" (16mm) hole in the door and the mounting plate. Secure with the locking nut. Fit the upper mounting bolt with washer to suit your door thickness.
- Fit Slam Latch: Fit the Slam Latch to the mounting plate with the 4 mounting bolts. Enter the V-Series Master Code, or User Code, and turn the handle to check the latch retracts. Release the handle, checking the latch and handle spring back.
- Install Strike Plate (Optional): If using a strike plate, mount this to the frame to receive the latch, ensuring the latch engages freely, yet securely.
