place on the inside face of the door as dictated by the door frame
surrounding. Mark spindle hole and top and bottom fixing holes.
Please note there are two positions for the lower fixing hole; the
upper being used for the KL1500 and the lower for the KL1200.
When choosing the position of your Slam Latch, take into account
any rebate or frame that the door closes against. The Slam Latch
should be positioned between 2mm (

”) back

from the edge of the door or rebate, or any striking plate mounted
to the door frame or rebate.

Before installation familiarise yourself with the operation
and programming of the KitLock being fitted to the
Slam Latch and check the Slam Latch box contents.
