Abstract
A recentering adapter for biasing a position of at least a drive spindle coupled to a first cam and a tailpiece coupled to a second cam of an exit device assembly. The recentering adapter can include a support plate having one or more protrusions and a cam having one or more arms. At least one leg of a biasing element can engage an arm of the cam as the cam is rotated away from a home position, while another leg of the biasing element remains engaged with the support plate. A cover plate and support plate can include apertures that provide first and second aperture pairs. A handing body can engage one of the first and second aperture pairs such that the handing body is positioned to engage an arm of the cam so as to limit a direction the cam is rotatable away from the home position.
