Helpful Hint:
If available, another inner tube inserted from the dial ring side, with the cables carefully fed
through it, can be very helpful as a guide in feeding the cables through the container wall.
On some containers the only way to complete this step is to retract the bolt. Contact Technical Support for
detailed instruction on completing this activity.
7.
Loosely attach the lock case assembly to the container wall with two of the four mounting screws, placing
them diagonally across from each other.
8.
Tighten the lock case mounting screws to hold the lock case in place.
Cutting the Tubes
Warning:
The end of the large tube that is to be discarded must be from the plain (unflared) end of the
tube. The end of the small tube that is to be discarded must also be from the plain (unnotched) end
of the tube.
1.
Make sure that the outer tube is properly placed over the lock case
tube retainer.
2.
While holding the outer tube firmly in its seated position, use a 6 inch
scale or ruler to measure 5/16 inch from the container wall and mark
the outer tube at this length.
3.
Remove the lock case assembly from the container and remove the
outer tube for cutting.
4.
Assemble the saw blade and wooden saw handle provided. To
assemble the saw, grip the saw frame in a vise, just below the neck.
Drive the handle fully onto the neck. This will reduce the tendency of
the handle to turn on the saw frame when sawing.
Note:
This saw is intended only for cutting the tubes. A standard
hacksaw should be used to cut the spindle.
5.
Insert the tube to be cut into the rubber vise clamp (provided), with
the mark just beyond the clamp. Then firmly clamp the rubber vise
clamp in a vise. Use the saw to cut the tube where marked. Be careful
to keep the cut as straight as possible. Remember the saw only cuts
when pushing. Trying to cut while pulling may pull the handle off of
the saw blade.
6.
The inside and outside of the tubes must be deburred after cutting.
Use the stone which is provided for this purpose. Make sure there
are no sharp edges on either tube inside and outside so as not to
damage the cables.
7. Install the inner tube on the lock case. Feed the cables through the
outer tube and install the outer tube on the lock case. Measure and
mark the inner tube to be 1/16 to 1/8 inch longer than the outer tube.
Remove the inner tube and cut by the same method as described
in Step 5.
