DDL608-5HWS How to Adjust the Latch Orientation

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Adjust the latch direction to adapt to the door swing direction:

  • If the slant of the latch is towards the outside of the door, the door is inswing.

  • If the slant of the latch is towards the inside of the door, the door is outswing.

Steps:

  • Pull the lock-out bolt bar upward - This disengages the latch so it can be rotated.

  • Push the latch in and rotate it 180° - Turn the latch so the bolt faces the correct direction for your door setup.

  • Release the latch and let it rebound

    • Ensure the latch springs back into its normal position.

    • Check that it moves freely and engages correctly in the strike plate.
