Tech Tip     

The most common use of VRA-143 configuration is the Type B application.  This installation mounts the ECL-230D and VRA-143 on the same leaf with overlapping plates on the inactive leaf.  Pushing on the ECL-230D located on the active leaf, unlocks both doors.

The Type C application replaces the overlapping plates with an ECL-230D and allows this door to be used as a standard door including outside key control. Pushing on the ECL-230D located on the active leaf unlocks only the active leaf.  Pushing on the ECL-230D located on the inactive leaf unlocks both leafs

The Type D application makes both doors independent.

The Type does not matter, the operation of the VRA functions the same.  The rods are spring loaded and always retract.  In order to extend the rods, the T handle needs to be turned.  While holding the rods extended with the T-Handle, insert the key in the ECL-230D and turn the key clockwise 360 degrees.  The ECL-230D dead bolt will now hold the rods extended.
