a main latch operating mechanism configured to extend a main latch from a lock edge of the door such that the main latch secures the door in a closed position thereof and to retract the main latch into the mortise pocket of the door such that the door is moveable from the closed position thereof;
a deadbolt operating mechanism having a first drive bar configured to couple to and extend a shoot bolt from a top or a bottom edge of the door such that the shoot bolt secures the door in the closed position thereof;
the first drive bar including a first dock defining a receptacle, the receptacle inwardly tapered towards the first drive bar such that the first dock is configured to guide a drive rod therethrough into the first drive bar of the deadbolt operating mechanism; and
shoot bolt assembly comprising:
a main body defining a passage having a central axis, the main body disposed in the top edge of the door panel such that the shoot bolt extends from the top edge of the door panel through the passage; and
a guide barrel defining a sleeve having a sleeve axis, the guide barrel rotatably mounted in the passage of the main body with the sleeve axis is offset from the central axis such that rotation of the sleeve within the passage adjusts a position of the shoot bolt relative to the first face and the second face of the door panel.
