| Tech Tip
When installing most exit devices, proper use of the manufacturer template is very important. Most manufacturers provide a paper template that requires the installer to fold and tape the template to the door, being careful to insure the template is square to the frame and holes are exactly as measured. Keeping the door closed, while marking the holes can be a challenge, usually requiring the installer to block the door, or ask a  coworker to hold the door closed. Detex offers this time saving tip, shared by one of our valued customers. Using a couple of inexpensive, yet heavy duty magnets, the door is held in perfect position, while the installer easily marks their template holes. Spacing the magnets properly is important, usually requiring 2 to 3 magnets to keep the door firmly in place. WARNING: Remember to keep magnets away from credit cards, telephones or electronics in general to avoid possible loss of data or damage.
Once the holes have been marked, the door can be opened to apply the necessary pressure to drill holes in the door and frame.
 When installing Detex exit devices, this process is made even easier, by using our paperless template, patented mounting plate system.
We hope this tip helps save you time and money during your next hardware installation on a hollow metal door and frame.
