Abstract
A securing mechanism for coupling an exit device to a door. The securing mechanism comprises a bracket coupled to the exit device and a shaft having a first end and a second end and defining a longitudinal axis. The bracket defines a first aperture and a second aperture. The first end of the shaft extends through the first aperture and the second end of the shaft extends through the second aperture. The securing mechanism also comprises a first anchor slideably coupled to the shaft and moveable along the longitudinal axis between a first locked position and a first unlocked position and a second anchor slideably coupled to the shaft and moveable along the longitudinal axis between a second locked position and a second unlocked position. The first anchor frictionally engages the door in the first locked position and the second anchor frictionally engages the door in the second locked position.
