STEP 4: Installing The Auto Latch
Locate the auto latch striker plates over the
(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.
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.
