INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DIRECTIONS

1. With the door placed on the work table, set Bracket 1 in position to align the ISR rod hole with the same hole on the outside latch (REF IS-0788). Align the bracket so that it is square on the door. Mark and center punch (6) holes.

3. Place Bracket 2 on the door, align mounting holes with the drawn centerline, square with the edge of the door at the distance shown, mark centers of slots, and center punch (4) holes.
4. Drill a 3/4” diameter (19.1 mm) hole through the door. The hole must be square to the door surface for proper alignment and operation. At this time, drill holes size appropriate for self-threading structural 1/4-20 screws or 1/4-20 type bolts.
5. Install brackets 1 and 2 with 1/4-20 structural hardware (not included).
6. Install pivot arm assembly and push rod on Brackets 1 and 2.
7. Secure pivot arm assembly with hardware provided, test function, and use instruction sheet to complete installation.

WARNING
ENTRAPMENT AND FREEZE HAZARD

• Failure to follow the installation and testing procedures may result in personnel being entrapped and subject to extreme cold, freezing temperatures, and possibly death.
• Affix the safety decal, that came with the latch, to the door near the latch or the inside release.
• The door hardware includes a SafeGuard® latch, which is designed with an inside release that will operate the latch to open the door from the inside when the latch has been locked on the outside. Extreme or harsh use conditions of the latch, inside release, or walk-in door, may damage or impair the function of the latch. For this reason, it is important to inspect and test the function of the latch and inside release daily before entering the walk-in. Should the latch or inside release fail to release the latch and allow the door to open from the inside, do not enter the walk-in and report the problem to management so that the door, latch, or inside release may be serviced by a professional.

TESTING PROCEDURE

1. Open the door.
2. With the door open, push to depress the inside release knob (or push bar).
3. (A) If the latch tongue retracts substantially into the latch with the release knob depressed, the latch and inside release are functioning properly.
4. (B) If the latch tongue does not retract substantially into the latch, do not enter the walk-in, and notify management to have the door serviced.
5. Lock the door using a key cylinder and/or padlock and repeat steps 2 and 3.
   Note: After passing the step 4 test with the latch locked, unlock the latch and continue with normal use of the door.

Note:
The actual latch or inside release provided with the door may look different than those shown in the testing diagram above. Refer to the instructions and safety decal provided with your latch.
