Specifications

the manufacturer would say about
this.
There are many more parts to
this lock than the standard
swingbolt type lock. As with
mechanical lock replacement, the
spindle must be cut to size. The
same is true with this lock (see
Illustration A). There is a brass
spindle with a channel cut in it.
This channel is for the wire that
attaches the dial assembly to the
combination lock. This must be
cut and measured after the dial
ring mechanism is installed.
Photograph 3, shows the back of
the combination lock. The
mounting screws also hold on the
cover of the lock and the lock is
taped shut. The two cover screws
on the lock are NOT to hold on
the cover, but for the attachment
of a relock plate. With a little
filing of the plate, both LaGard
and S&G relock covers and arms
can be easily attached using these
two cover screws.
Above the lock (in Photograph
3) is a small black battery box.
This holds one 9 volt battery
which powers
the electronics.
This is attached
to any conven-
ient part on the
inside of the
safe door by
double faced
tape or with one
included screw.
Optional battery
configurations
are available
using C or D
batteries.
What
happens if the
battery goes
dead and the
safe is locked?
On the outside
of the dial ring,
next to numbers
6 and 9 on the
keypad are a couple of con-tacts
that mimic the ends of a 9 volt
battery. If the battery inside is
