5. Exterior structure

The entry door has been constructed in such a manner
that there is a certain initial tension around the lock to
ensure that the seal around the door leaf rests correctly
at the top and bottom against the door frame.
Occasionally, this may cause a slight tension in the
locking mechanism of the door and when opening the
door from outside by pulling on the door handle. Pres-
sing lightly against the door leaf near the lock releases
this constructively designed initial tension, allowing
the door handle to be used easily.
Please do not pull violently on the outside handle or
twist it, because this will have a negative eect on the
gliding quality of the latch and the ability to move the
lock freely.
Unlocking the external entry door from the outside
• Insert the key into the locking cylinder j.
• Turn the key clockwise to the right until the lock is unlatched

• Turn the key back to the central position and pull it out of the
lock

.
• Open the entry door by pulling the handle towards you m.
The instructions for the locking mechanism and illus-
trations are for doors with hinges on the right.
As a matter of principle, the locking mechanism for
doors with hinges on the left functions the opposite
way round.
Locking the external entry door from the outside
Danger of crushing-type injuries!
Always close the external entry door carefully and in
a controlled manner! There is a considerable risk of
crushing-type injuries!
Avoid pressing the internal lock knob at the same
time as you pull the door handle from the outside –
this can cause the unlocking mechanism to block and
damage the lock!
