Calibre Door Closers BT5000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cylinder height does the Calibre BT5000 long threshold bolt kit cover?
The BT5000 handles cylinder heights up to 53-1/2 inches. The threaded rod can be cut down for anything shorter, so it covers the whole range below that as well. For a standard storefront door with the cylinder between 34 and 37 inches, the BT6000 standard kit is the one built for that range.
2) Should I order the BT5000 or the BT6000 threshold bolt kit?
It comes down to where the cylinder sits in the door. BT6000 is the standard kit for cylinder heights of 34 to 37 inches. BT5000 is the long version, good up to 53-1/2 inches, and its threaded rod can be shortened in the field if the height falls under that. If you are measuring a tall cylinder location or you are not sure of the final height, the long kit gives you room to cut.
3) What does a Calibre threshold bolt kit actually do on the door?
It converts a basic Calibre deadlock into a two-point lock. Throwing the deadlock secures the lock jamb as usual and simultaneously drives a bolt down into the threshold, so the door is held at two points instead of one. The bolt throw is 11/16 inch.
4) What parts come in the BT5000 kit, and do I need anything else to install it?
The kit ships as a complete unit for attachment to the deadlock: a hardened steel hexagon bottom rod bolt, a top rod arm adaptor, a bottom rod guide, and a spring roll pin for installation into the deadlock. What it does not include is the deadlock itself, so you need an existing Calibre deadlock in the door for the bolt kit to work with, and the threshold has to be prepped for the bolt to drop into.
5) Will the 11/16 inch bolt throw reach my threshold strike?
The bottom bolt throws 11/16 inch when the deadlock is turned, so the threshold needs a hole or strike deep enough to take that projection cleanly. If the existing threshold is only drilled for a shorter bolt, deepen it or fit the correct threshold strike, otherwise the deadlock will not throw fully.
6) Can I shorten the BT5000 rod on site for a shorter door?
Yes. The threaded rod portion is meant to be cut for cylinder heights under 53-1/2 inches, so one part number covers a range of openings. Measure from the deadlock cylinder to the threshold before cutting, and leave enough thread engaged at the bottom rod guide for the bolt to seat.
7) Is this threshold bolt kit suitable for commercial storefront use?
Yes, the BT5000 is a commercial-duty part. The bottom rod bolt is hardened steel hex stock, which is what holds up to repeated throwing and to attack at the threshold on a high-traffic entrance.
