Garage Door Opener User Manual

b. The height of the push bar from the floor may be subject to local regulations.
c. The best looking installation will have the push bar centered on the door, as measured
from the left and right. However, before drilling the holes, make sure the door opens and
closes properly. If not, it may be necessary to adjust the push bar to the right or left a bit.
(This must be checked with the aluminum top and its end-caps on.)
4. With a pencil, mark the four bolt or screw holes and the hole for the wires on the door, and
put the push bar to the side. Note: If the push bar was cut, make sure the end cap on the
base unit is set firmly against the base unit before marking the holes.
5.
Drill a 3/8” (10mm) hole in the door for the wires. Do not drill all the way through the door.
6. Permanently mount the push bar:
a. For hollow doors using sex nuts.
1) Drill four 6mm holes on the inside of the door for the machine screws.
2) Drill four 9.8mm holes, one for each bolt, on the outside of the door in the same
locations as the four 6mm screw holes.
IMPORTANT: The holes must be 9.8mm. No smaller, no larger.
3) Insert a sex bolt in each of the 9.8mm holes.
4) Screw the four machine screws through the push bar into the sex bolts to fix the push
bar on the door.
b.
For wood doors — Screw the push bar onto the door using the four supplied wood screws.
7. Run the wires through the door, and connect the wires to the access control device. See
below for wiring information.
8. Replace the two end-caps. IMPORTANT — One of the end-caps has a square-head bolt
under the round plastic cover. That end-cap should be mounted on the end of the push bar
away from the wire connector.

LOCKING THE BAR CLOSED
Included with the push bar is a miniature key with a square hole. To lock the push bar closed (to
allow two-way, uncontrolled access to the protected area), remove the squarehead bolt’s round
cover, push the bar in all the way, and turn the square-head bolt with the key. To release the bar,
turn the square-head bolt again.

Installation Manual
SD-961A-36
Push-to-Exit Bar
Includes SD-969-A18
Armored Door Cord
For allowing egress from inside an area normally locked by an electromagnetic lock, and/or
to disarm or trigger an alarm when the door is opened.
Pushing the bar at any point will send a signal to release the lock and/or sound an alarm.
Built-in non-latching (momentary), normally open and normally closed (N.O. and N.C.)
contacts.
Attractive brushed aluminum bar with black base and trim.
Two dual-contact switches (NO/COM/NC) — 5 Amps @ 125VAC.
Length of bar — 34.5 inches (for standard 36-inch wide door), can be cut to size.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
1. It is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user customer to ensure the SD-961A-36
meets all local regulations regarding the use of push bars for access security, including:
a. Suitability for doors accessed by disabled persons.
b. Suitability for fire doors (the push bar is not fire-rated).
2. The push bar is not weatherproof. Do not mount on exterior surfaces or where exposed to
rain.
3. The height at which the push bar is mounted may be subject to local regulations.
4. When mounting the push bar, use a carpenters level to make sure it is mounted properly.
Measuring from the bottom of the door may result in a tilted push bar, as the bottom of the
door may not be level.
INSTALLATION METHODS
The push bar can be mounted in one of two ways, depending on customer needs:
1. Hollow doors using sex bolts — The sex bolts allow the push bar to be bolted to the door
without the screws being exposed on the outside of the door. Screws and sex bolts are
included.
2. Wood doors — Four wood screws are included to mount the push bar to a wood door.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the two end-cap covers from the aluminum top — Remove the two screws on each
end, and pull the end-cap covers off. Slide the aluminum top off.
2. Determine length of the push bar — The SD-961A was designed to fit standard 36-inch
doors. For narrower doors, the push bar can be cut. To cut:
a. Measure the width of the door in inches (NOT mm or cm), and subtract this figure from
36. The remainder tells how much to cut from the push bar.
b. Remove the end cap nearest the wire connector from the base unit.
c. Cut both the base unit and the aluminum top by the same amount.
d. Replace the end cap.
e. Double-check the length by holding the push bar and aluminum top against the door.
3. Determine the mounting location — Note:
a. In most installations, the end with the wire connector should be on the side of the door
near the hinges to make it easier to run the wires to the wall.
