1. The file cabinet should be prepared for accepting the lock by having a partially punched ¾ inch D-D 

(double-D) hole and an internal gang bar installed down the right side of the cabinet. Using your 
screwdriver and pliers remove the slug from the partially punched hole.

2. Slide the outer bezel ring onto the lock housing and insert the housing through the D-D hole. 

(Fig. 3)

3. From the inside install 

the inner spacer ring, nut 
retaining washer and 
brass nut. 

DO NOT OVER 

TIGHTEN

 Once the nut 

is firm bend one of the 
tabs on the nut retaining 
washer against a flat side 
of the nut to hold it in 
place.

4. With the lock housing 

installed add the inner 
cam stop by inserting 
the small brass pin in 
the hole supplied in the 
housing.

5. The cam is installed with the side labeled “OUT” facing 

the rear of the lock. The brass pin travels freely within the 
notched side of the inner cam stop. 

(Fig. 7)

6. The outer cam shifter can provide two different functions 

depending on how it is installed. 

•  “Non Key Retaining” function:

 allows the key 

to be removed in both the locked and unlocked position 
and the shifter is installed so the brass pin on the cam 
travels in the long outer notch of the shifter labeled “LM” 
for lost motion. 

(Fig. 8)

 

•  “Key Retaining” function:

 allows you to remove 

the key in the locked position only and the brass pin of the 
cam fits into the small inner notch of shifter labeled “KR”. 

(Fig. 9)

Please Note:

 To correctly synchronize the lock it must be assembled without a key inserted and the 

cam pointing up in the locked position. 

(Figs. 8 & 9)

 Finally, all is secured using the supplied retain-

ing screw.
