STEP 4: Installing The Auto Latch

Locate the auto latch striker plates over the pre-punched holes in the vertical track nearest the center of the lock section. Fasten the striker plates to the vertical track using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolts and flanged hex nuts. Align the auto latch flippers such that the arm will engage the striker plates. Position the auto latch flipper 1/8” from the edge of the section and secure it to the section with (3) 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws (WOOD DOORS will use 1/4” - 14 x 1” lag screws). Bend the bottom edge of the auto latch flipper arm away from the door slightly for smoother operation. Feed one end of the lock cable through the slotted hole of an auto latch flipper and secure with

(1)1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt. Pull the cable taut, but not enough to lift the flipper out of the striker plate. While holding taut, feed the lock cable through the slotted hole of the remaining auto latch flipper, secure with (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and flanged hex nut, (SEE FIG. 9-10).

NOTE: Ensure that the bolt is through the front of the flippers and the nut is on the back of the flippers with cable going through the front of the flippers.

Operate the lock several times to make sure the auto latch flippers clear the striker plates when the handle is turned and the flippers en- gage the striker plates when the handle is released. Adjust the cables if necessary. Trim off the excess cable with wire cutters after the lock is operating satisfactorily.
