General information
A locking system complying with these
European standards always consists of (Fig. 1):
A
Lock and/or multi-point lock (active
and/or passive leaf)
B Door hardware (active and/or passive leaf)
C Accessories (fi xing material, square spindle,
vertical rods, passive-leaf control lock)
D Keeper(s) (door frame, passive-leaf lock,
strikers/latch&deadbolt striker, fl oor strikers)
Door closers E and locking cylinders F are not always required, but, if
used, must be approved for use with the appropriate locking device
(see www.g-u.com/service/downloads - Door Technology - "Zulässsige
Schließzylinder in Kombination mit BKS-Fluchttürschlösserndownloads"
(permissible locking cylinders in combination with BKS emergency door locks).
Only those devices are allowed to be installed which use components
listed in the EC Certificate of Conformity EN 1125 or EN 179. This also
applies to the subsequent installation of spare parts.
Due to different frame designs, it may be impossible for the
manufacturer to supply an appropriate keeper. In this case, the fabricator
takes over responsibility, in agreement with the manufacturer, to design
and install an equivalent solution as demanded. See approved striker
shapes (Fig. 2).
Before installing the locking system, make sure the door is properly
installed and is not warped.
The latchbolts and vertical rods of the lock must be received by the
keepers freely without frictional resistance, even when load is applied to
the door.
