CARE OF YOUR CYLINDER RIM LOCK:
Never take your cylinder apart. Never oil or paint the
cylinder. To lubricate, use a Teflon based solution.
IMPORTANT:
Locks with a chrome finish can be kept clean by an occasional wipe over with a
moist, dust-free cloth. No abrasive or metal polish should be used.
LOCK:
Moving parts may be greased.
FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY:
The gap between the lock body and the ‘staple’ should be kept to a minimum and
must never exceed 5mm, otherwise the automatic deadlock will not work.
10. Unscrew the two screws from each side of the latch bolt to release the mounting plate from the back of
the lock body.
IMPORTANT:
Before you remove the mounting plate, align the arrow on the rotating cross shaped slot
on the back of the lock body with the arrow on the anti-drill plate. Then remove the mounting plate. Do
not remove black washer.
11. Ensuring the arrows remain aligned, place the mounting plate over the connecting bar. Secure the
mounting plate to the cylinder/door pull using the two 45mm flat-ended connecting screws provided,
screws must be inserted through the top pair of holes in the centre of the mounting plate. If necessary,
use a fine-toothed hacksaw to shorten the screws to ensure they fit flush with the mounting plate. You
may also need to insert the key into the cylinder and turn it to ensure adequate clearance for the
screws.
12. Screw the mounting plate to the door using the woodscrews supplied at the points where you drilled
holes in Step 3.
13. Remove the key. Use the handle on the lock to draw the latch bolt back into the lock body and retain it
there by pressing the red latch button.
14. Engage the lock body on the hook points on the mounting plate and slide the lock body so that the
projecting panel of the body fits snugly into the recess on the door edge which you cut out in
Steps 5 & 6.
15. Replace the two screws on both sides of the latch bolt which hold the lock body onto the mounting
plate. Secure the lock body to the door edge with two 25mm woodscrews provided.
16. Gently close the door and use the fitted lock as a guide to mark the position of the remaining
component – the ‘staple’ – on the door frame.
17. Chisel out a recess in the door frame to hold the staple flush with the frame. The gap between the lock
body and the staple should not exceed 5mm. Secure the staple with the four 45mm woodscrews
supplied.
(DIY TIP: For ease of installation, particularly on hardwood doors, use a 3mm drill as pilot holes for the
screws)
The fitting of your new Yale lock is now complete.
OPERATION
To deadlock the door, simply pull the door closed behind you. To lock the handle from the inside, give one
complete turn of the key in the handle.
To lock the handle when you’re leaving the house unoccupied, perform the same operation with the door
open, remove the key and close the door behind you. This gives essential security to glass-panelled doors
or solid doors near windows.
To hold the lock open, pull back the handle and press the red latch button. To release it, turn the handle. To
avoid accidental lock-out, the handle can be locked in the open position with a complete, clockwise turn of
the key in the handle.
