A. Locate the surface mounted slide latch at the desired
elevation and fasten onto the inside of the door with sheet
metal screws.
B. Position the wrap-around style strike & keeper so that the bar
of the slide latch will engage properly. Mount in place with
thru-bolts. For outswing doors, the bar will engage behind the
door strike. For inswing doors, the bar will engage into the
keeper.
C. For ADA accessibility, mount the strike & keeper so that half
of the slide bar is above the keeper. See detail at right. This
