How do I open the Alarm Lock Exit device (model 250, 260, 700 or 710) with a standard rim cylinder from outside the door?
Use the rim cylinder on the outside of the door to open the above Alarm Lock exit device models. Note: You will require some kind of handle on the outside of the door to pull on.
- Turn the key one full turn counter-clockwise to retract the deadbolt. Grasp the handle or door pull (sold separately) on the door and pull gently outwards.
- Turn the key clockwise 1/8 th of a turn to release the deadlatch mechanism and pull to open the door. When the deadbolt is retracted, the deadlatch will be momentarily released and the door will be free to open.
