This document is an addendum for installing the Detex 03WS Outside Lever Trim Device on 2-inch narrow stile glass doors.

Installation Preparation
Ensure the door is blocked shut before beginning the installation. The device is recommended to be mounted 40 inches above the finished floor.

- Mark the 40-inch centerline of the device across the door and frame.
- Place the back plate on the door stile, aligning it with the 1-inch line and the center holes.

Inside Door Face Installation
Perform the following steps on the inside face of the door:


- Slide the strike against the blocked door.

Outside Door Face Installation

- Place the back plate on the door using it as a template.
- Center the back plate on pilot hole 'e' and align it vertically.

- Make a new mark 1/4 inch higher than the cam center; this is the mark for the 1 3/4 inch outside cylinder hole 'f'.
- Drill pilot holes for 'e' and 'f'.
- Use a 1 3/4 inch hole saw to cut through the outside door face at 'f'. Note: Use extreme caution when drilling this hole; there is a tight tolerance with no margin for error.
