Model “3000” and “7000” Entry Door Latch Rod Adjustment Procedure
* Before beginning the adjustment procedure function the outer handle to determine the travel distance. The travel on the handle before it releases the latch should be at least % of the total distance. If the travel is at least % of the distance no further adjustment is needed. If it is not, then proceed to step one.
- Start the procedure by opening the door and removing the black plastic plug with a flat tip screwdriver, located just below the rotary latch on the edge of the door.
- Using a 7/16″ deep socket rotate the lock nut located behind the plug counterclockwise if the rotary releases too easily or clockwise if it doesn’t release easily enough.
- This procedure should be done with the door in the open position by manually closing the rotary and making the adjustments until the outside handle travels % of the distance before the rotary releases.
- Test the function by closing and releasing the rotary several times with both the outside and inside handle before closing the door.
- Replace the black plastic plug and the adjustment is complete.
