DOOR PLUNGER

A manual door plunger is available to prevent door closure. (Child Safety Device) When the plunger is in the OUT position (Fig. 8-1), it prevents the door from latching. To activate this feature, a coin is inserted in the plunger slot and rotated counterclockwise 90°. To reengage the plunger to the IN position (Fig. 8-2), rotate plunger 90° clockwise.
