Pro-Installer FAQ
Can this device be cut down for narrower doors?
Yes, the pushbar can be field-cut for doors narrower than standard width. Measure carefully and cut from the hinge end only. The lock stile end must remain factory length for proper strike engagement.
Can the delay be changed from 15 to 30 seconds?
Yes, the device is field-selectable between 15 and 30 seconds. However, a 30-second delay requires written approval from your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or Fire Marshal before installation.
Why would I choose Less Dogging?
LD (Less Dogging) is required on fire-rated door openings where code prohibits holding the latch open. Even if the device itself isn't fire-rated, the opening may require LD based on the door's fire label.
