Lock Installation
Door Preparation:
- If a strike is already present in the door frame, position the latch using the strike as a reference.
- Draw a horizontal line on both sides and the edge of the door at the desired handle height above the floor.
- Draw a vertical center line on the door edge.
- Draw a vertical line on each side of the door at the proper backset to align the template.
- Position templates on the edge and sides of door. Mark only top and bottom holes of mortise cavity (A) and lock front (B) on the door edge, and holes in the lateral face of the door for handles (C) and cylinder (D) (only needed in inside face).
- Remove the template. Make door preparation of the lockcase according to (A).
- Insert the lockcase. Draw the outline using the face plate as a template for door preparation.
Note: Holes for fixation of SALTO electronic escutcheon are not included in this template. Please use the template in the escutcheon box.
Diagrams illustrate door preparation steps, marking lines, and positioning templates for mortise cavity (A), lock front (B), handle holes (C), and cylinder holes (D).
Installing the Lock:
- Insert the lock into the cavity.
- Mark & drill faceplate holes. Fasten with faceplate screws to hold lock in place.
Strike Installation
Procedure:
- Refer to latch to determine strike location on jamb.
- Using strike as template, mark and chisel recess.
- Drill screw holes. Place dust box and strike and fasten with the supplied screws.
Verification Checks:
- Deadbolt and latch fit the cavities of the strike without touching it.
- Gap between door and jamb is between 2-4 mm.
- Strike flap should protrude at least 2mm; if not, ask your distributor for special strikes.
Diagrams show strike installation details, including the dust box, strike plate, required gap (2-4mm), and protrusion of the strike flap (minimum 2mm). It also shows the "Adjust" step and "Ensure gap" instruction.
Note on Dust Box: For the auxiliary latch to operate correctly, it is absolutely essential to install the dust box.
Cable Connection
For models with detectors, connect according to the corresponding electronic escutcheon installation guide.
Maintenance
All locks come from the factory pre-lubricated with grease. Periodic lubrication of moving parts (latch, auxiliary latch, deadbolt) with commercial quality grease (every 20,000 cycles or once a year) is recommended. This can prolong the lockset's life by reducing excessive wear. In harsh environments, lubrication should be applied more frequently.
Icons indicate maintenance and lubrication are recommended.
