The Conexis L1 has an
adjustable design meaning
it can fit doors with the
fixing point above and
below the lever handle.
Depending on the fixing
points on the door, take the
external handle and screw
the lug into position.
Ensuring the lever is
the correct orientation
for your door, take
the spindle from the
fixing pack and make
sure it’s pushed all
the way into the lever
handle.
