Requirements on the door and
the lock cylinder
Please read this entire section
before starting to mount the de-
vice.
Door requirements
The door lock drive can only be used
on doors with locks and bolts that
move easily and do not jam.
Doors with locks that can only be
operated by pushing, pulling,
lifting, lowering or twisting the
door are not suitable for operation
with the lock!
Note, especially with wooden
doors, that weather can cause the
door to warp, which can in turn
make the door unsuitable for lo-
cking and unlocking operation
with the lock at times. The door
lock drive cannot handle the
forces that are required by a war-
ped door on the door latch.
Make sure that the door can be locked
and unlocked smoothly and easily un-
der all climatic conditions before im-
plementing the drive. This can be tes-
ted by locking and unlocking the door
lock with the key and without using
the door handle. Set the door hinges
and/or the striking plate in the door
frame so that locking and unlocking is
smooth and easy with the key as de-
scribed previously.
In order to use the door opening func-
tion, the door seals must be intact and
designed so that the door will open on
its own after completely unlatching the
lock because of the expansion of the
door seal.
