Questions & Answers

For added security in the home, both 856 and 859 door bolts can be supplied with integral restrictors. When engaged, the use of these products restricts the opening of the door to 100mm, a function achieved traditionally with door chains.

The FUHR door restrictor is engaged and released by turning the small additional thumb turn handle on the inside of the door. In order to open the door to allow entry, the door needs to be closed fully and the restrictor disengaged.

The restrictor mechanism is fully concealed when the door is closed. The FUHR restrictor can be used with individual keeps or as an integral part of a one piece keep.

How do I adjust FUHR keeps/strikers?

Hook and Keep alignment:

The hook and keep should be aligned using the guideline on the hook plate. Ensure the hook engages correctly avoiding friction on which can result in damage to the hook, there should be a 2mm gap between the line on the hook plate and the flat of the hook as shown in the diagram.

 

Latch and hook adjustment:

Take care not to over adjust the hook keep as this can damage the keep - do not rotate through 360º.
A screwdriver and a 4mm allen key will be required when adjusting these plates.

 

Roller and mushroom adjustment:

Adjust eccentric compression of roller and mushroom keeps to ensure the optimum compression for the door.
Adjust the compression using a 4mm allen key.
