Adams Rite 4568 Eurostyle Deadlatch Handle Bruksanvisning

Introduktion

The Adams Rite 4568 Eurostyle Deadlatch Handle is engineered for reliable operation of Adams Rite 4300, 4500, and 4900 Series Deadlatches. This handle features an integrated activator cam disc designed to fit securely into the cylinder hole of the deadlatch, enabling easy unlocking through a natural downward hand movement. It is important to note that this handle is specifically designed for deadlatch operation and is not intended for use as a door pull.

Produktegenskaper

  • Lever Design: Constructed from durable cast aluminum, the 4568 model features a straight lever. Available finishes include Satin Aluminum (130), Dark Bronze (121), and Black (119). Its modern European styling provides a comfortable hand grip, with the shank strategically offset from the narrow stile jamb to enhance hand safety during operation.
  • Skylt: The escutcheon measures 1-3/8 inches by 4 inches, designed to complement the aesthetics of narrow stile doors. It incorporates a steel mounted base secured by hidden screws for a clean appearance. Two large helical compression springs are included within the assembly. A 1/4-inch square heat-treated spindle is integrated into the escutcheon, which interlocks with the cam plug. The escutcheon's finish matches that of the lever.

  1. Förberedelse: Ensure the door is correctly prepared for a deadlatch handle installation. This includes verifying the presence and appropriate sizing of the cylinder hole for the cam plug.

  3. Mounting the Escutcheon: Position the escutcheon plate on the door. Carefully align the 1/4-inch square spindle with the corresponding mechanism of the deadlatch. Secure the escutcheon using the hidden mounting screws provided.
