How to install a panic device on the passive leaf

On double-leaf doors, it is usual to install a tree point panic device with two vertical rods, connecting them to the flush bolts that will open once the bar is pushed.

To install a tree point bar, our technicians recommend to follow the steps below:

1. Lay the door in a horizontal position and trace the fastening holes of the lateral boxes. Fig. 1

2. Trace the fastening holes of the flush bolts and secure them with 4 screws each. Secure the bar box on the same side of the leaf as the flush bolts using 4 screws Fig. 2

3. Fit the vertical rods inside the box and mark the extra length of the rods on the lower and upper flush bolt. Fig. 3

4. Cut the extra bits where needed and secure the rods to the lower and upper flush bolt. Fig. 4

5. Secure the second box on the hinge side. Cut the extra length of the push bar where needed, place it in between the two lateral boxes and secure with screws. Then secure the boxes and the handle by tightening the screws. Finnaly, fit and secure the box and flush bolt cases. Fig. 5
