Installation Overview

• Door Preparation: Locate and prepare all mounting holes on both the inside and outside faces of the door according to the provided template.
• Adjust Lever Handing: If you need to change the handing of the lever: remove the lever securing screw, rotate the lever to the desired direction, and reinstall. Ensure the black side of the star washer faces upwards (towards you/the screw head) before locking the screw tight. Also, if installing on a 45 mm door, use the hex wrench to remove the extended spindle at this stage.
• Install Adapter: Insert the tailpiece adapter directly into the Concealed Vertical Rod (CVR) mechanism inside the door.
• Mount Trim and Secure Screws: Position the adjusted trim on the exterior face of the door. From the inside face of the door, secure the mounting screws tightly into the trim's two mounting studs.
• Operational Testing: Insert the key to verify smooth cylinder rotation and secure locking operation. Press down the lever multiple times to ensure the internal CVR latching mechanism retracts and extends fully without friction or binding.

Why Choose the 86OT-E Exit Device Trim

• Verified Hardware Compatibility: Engineered specifically to interface with the Well Laud 2086 Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device, ensuring precise mechanical alignment and reliable latch retraction.
• Secure Entrance Control: Provides robust keyed exterior access while keeping the interior free for emergency egress, striking the perfect balance between perimeter security and life safety.
• Storefront System Optimization: Designed exclusively for hollow aluminum stile doors, eliminating physical mounting conflicts often associated with multi-purpose hardware.
• Field-Adaptable Installation: Features a non-handed, reversible lever design and an adjustable spindle assembly to simplify on-site setup and accommodate 45 mm door thicknesses.
• Modern Architectural Aesthetics: The clean, narrow-profile escutcheon body integrates seamlessly with contemporary aluminum storefront frame aesthetics.

Buyer Considerations

• Confirm Exclusive Compatibility with Well Laud 2086: This lever trim features a specialized internal gear hub and CVR tailpiece adapter designed exclusively to interface with the Well Laud 2086 Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device. Do not attempt to install this trim with other brands or exit device models, as they are physically incompatible.
• Verify Aluminum Door Thickness and Spindle Configuration: Ensure your hollow aluminum door thickness falls within the standard specification. For 45 mm doors, the installer must use the included hex wrench to remove the extended spindle and utilize shorter mounting screws to secure the trim without slop.
• Select Finish Based on Architectural Specifications: The trim is available in bronze liquid coating or clear coat. Confirm the existing storefront frame finish to select the matching hardware coating before ordering.
• Align Entrance Function with Access Requirements: The 86OT-E is designed strictly as an "Entrance" (keyed entry/passage exit) function. Ensure your entryway design requires secure, keyed access control from the outside while maintaining unrestricted egress from the inside.
• Verify Cylinder Integration for Master Key Planning: This trim is supplied with a standard mortise cylinder and two keys. If your project involves a master key system (MKS), verify cylinder dimensional compatibility with your hardware consultant prior to ordering.
