J. SETTING A NEW COMBINATION
Important:
The following steps must be
performed while the DOOR IS OPEN.
The factory pre-set combination is 2 and 4 pressed
simultaneously, then 3.
Read the instructions through once before
attempting to change the combination.
J-1
Turn the outside thumbturn to the left (counter-
clockwise) until it stops
(See Figure 10-1)
then
return it clockwise slowly to the horizontal posi-
tion and release.
J-2
Enter the existing combination
(See Figure 10-2)
.
J-3
Insert a Phillips-head screwdriver into the cen-
tral piece of the combination change assem-
bly
(See Figure 10-3)
. Gently turn the screw-
driver to the right (clockwise) until it stops. A
slight click should be felt. DO NOT FORCE.
J-4
Remove the screwdriver from the combina-
tion change assembly.
Important:
When removing the screwdriver, the
central piece must return to its initial position, if
not, set it back to its original position using the
screwdriver
(See Figure 10-3)
. If the central
piece of the combination change assembly does
not return to its original position, the combination
will be cancelled and the lock will jam.
J-5
Turn the outside thumbturn left (counter clock-
wise) until it stops
(See Figure 10-4)
and return
it slowly clockwise to the horizontal position
and release.
J-6
Select a new combination and write it down
(some or all of the buttons may be used for
your new code, pressed individually or simulta-
neously). Each button may be used only once.
We do not recommend the use of a one button
combination.
J-7
With the
door open
, enter your new combina-
tion
(See Figure 10-5)
. Depress each button
fully and release it. You must feel a click each
time you press a button to know that the but-
ton was fully depressed.
J-8
Turn the outside thumbturn to the right
(clockwise)
(See Figure 10-6)
until it stops; the
latch should retract.
J-9
Release the outside thumbturn; the latch
should return to its initial extended position.
Keep the door open and test the operation of the lock to make sure your
combination was set correctly.
Operating the lock: Repeat 2-3 times to ensure trouble-free operation
with new combination.
J-10
Turn the outside thumbturn to the left (counterclockwise) to “clear.”
J-11
Enter the combination. Depress each button fully and release it. You must
feel a click each time you press a button to know that it was fully
depressed.
J-12
Turn the outside thumbturn to the right (clockwise). The latch should
retract.
Tests:
1) Try to operate the lock without entering a combination. The thumbturn
should not turn to the right, retracting the latch. If it does turn, retracting
the latch, the combination was not properly entered. Set a new
combination by following steps J-1 to J-9, omitting Step J-2.
2) Try to operate the lock by entering a wrong combination. The thumbturn
should not turn to the right.
