Replacement Instructions
Main Lock Replacement
- Separate Doors: Open the door and lift the handle to separate the security door from the main door.
- Expose Retaining Screw: Press the safety detent and slide the locking snib down to expose the retaining screw.
- Remove Main Lock: Undo the retaining screws and remove the main lock.
- Install New Main Lock: Install the new inner main lock with the locking snib down. Use a screwdriver to lift the drive block, ensuring the latch gear engages with the rack.
- Fit Key Barrel: Fit the key barrel in the outer main lock. Position the detent ball at the side of the lock, install the outer main lock on the door, and hand-tighten screws. Do not overtighten. Test the handle for correct operation.
Remote Latches Replacement
- Remove Remote Latches: Unscrew and remove the remote latch.
- Install New Remote Latches: Install new remote latches in reverse order of removal and hand-tighten screws. Do not overtighten.
- Test Door Operation: Ensure the door operates correctly after installation.
Important Notes
- Always ensure at least one lock or latch is installed on the door at any time during the replacement process to prevent the aluminium rack in the security door from falling, which could complicate the alignment of the rack/latch gear.
- Do not remove the lock and remote latches simultaneously.
- Hand tighten screws during installation to avoid overtightening.
