LUBRICATING THE CORES
Do not lubricate cores with oil. Doing so will only attract dirt.
For powdered graphite lubrication:
-
1. Dip a key in graphite. Insert the key into the keyhole and remove it; repeat several times.
OR
- Spray graphite into the keyhole. Insert the key into the keyhole and remove it; repeat several times.
- 2. Allow the graphite to sift into the pin segment holes.
For silicone type lubrication:
1. Clean all existing lubricant out of the core.
Do not mix graphite with a silicone-type lubricant.
2. With the core inverted, spray the lubricant into the key opening allowing the spray to penetrate the pin segment holes.
Note: When cores are installed and exposed to harsh weather conditions, silicone-type lubricants can help displace moisture as well as spread into pin segment holes and other surfaces.
ALIGNING THE CHASSIS AND TRIM
Establish a schedule to inspect locks, doors, and door hardware for proper alignment and operation. Occasionally a lock chassis and/or rose trim may become loose and require tightening.
To retighten a loose or misaligned chassis or rose trim:
-
1. Remove the following components:
- inside rose and rose liner (page 3–5) .
- 2. Align the chassis with the latch. Make sure that the latch tabs engage the chassis frame and the latch tailpiece engages the retractor, as shown in Figure 3.11 . The outside rose and liner should also be flush with the door.
Figure 3.11 Engaging the retractor in the latch
-
3. If the chassis is not aligned with the latch, or the outside rose is not flush with door, perform these steps:
- a. Slide the chassis assembly out of the door.
- b. Retract the rose locking pin and adjust the outside rose and liner assembly as necessary, as shown in Figure 3.12.
- c. Release the rose locking pin when it is lined up with an indent in the liner and the posts on the liner match up with the chassis screws. The pin should lock into the rose liner.
d. From the outside of the door, install the lock chassis assembly. The outside rose and liner assembly should be flush with the door. Make sure the latch tabs engage the chassis frame and the latch tailpiece engages the retractor.
Figure 3.12 Adjusting the outside rose and liner assembly
- 4. Test the lever operation to make sure that the latch tailpiece does not bind with the chassis retractor.
-
5. Reinstall the following components:
- inside rose and liner ( page 3–5)
- levers (page 3–4) .

A INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The following pages contain the Installation Instructions for 72KC-75KC Cylindrical Locks.
Installation Instructions for 72KC–75KC Cylindrical Locks
For factory prepared doors only
Figure 1 — Overview of installing the lock
Caution: If you use hollow metal doors, determine whether the doors are reinforced enough to support the lock. If door reinforcement is not adequate, consult the door manufacturer for information on proper reinforcement.
Simplified instructions
- 1 Install the latch so that the bevel on the latchbolt faces the strike.
- 2 Adjust the outside rose assembly so that the chassis is centered in the door. Install the chassis from the outside of the door.
- 3 Install the inside liner, through-bolts, rose, lever and strike.
For field door preparation and detailed installation instructions, see the following tasks.
1 Position template
Figure 2 — Placing the template onto the door
- 1 Fold the template and place it in position on the high edge of the door bevel. See Figure 2.
- 2 Mark the drill points.
Note: The suggested height from the floor to centerline of the lock is 40 5/16". If steel frames are used, the latch centerline must be in line with the center of the strike preparation.
2 Bore two holes and install latch
- 1 Bore a 2 1/8" diameter hole from both sides of the door, to the center of the door.
- 2 Drill a 1" diameter hole from the edge of the door that intersects the 2 1/8" hole.
- 3 Mortise the door edge for the latch face.
- 4 Install the latch through the 1" diameter hole. For drive-in latches, use a rubber mallet. Latch tabs should project into the 2 1/8" diameter hole. See figure 3 in task 3.
- 5 Check the door swing.
3 Install boring jig and drill two 5/16" diameter holes
Figure 3 — Installing the boring jig onto the door
- 1 Install the boring jig onto the door and engage with the latch tabs. Make sure the front edge of the jig is parallel with the door edge. See Figure 3.
- 2 Drill two 5/16" diameter holes halfway into the door.
- 3 Turn the boring jig over and repeat steps one and two from the opposite side of the door.
Note: Replace the boring jig after ten door preparations.
4 Adjust lock to door thickness
Figure 4 — Adjusting the lock to match the door thickness
1 Temporarily remove the latch.
- 2 Retract the rose locking pin and rotate the outside rose liner in or out for the proper door thickness by lining up the "DOOR CENTER" mark with the center of the latch hole.
- 3 Reinstall the latch.
Note 1: Make sure the locking pin locks into the rose liner.
Note 2: Locksets will fit 1 3/8" to 2" thick doors.
5 Engage retractor in latch
Figure 5 — Engaging the latch in the retractor
■ With the latch in place, install the chassis from the outside. Make sure the latch tabs engage the chassis frame and the latch tailpiece engages the retractor. See Figure 5.
6 Install liner, rose, and lever
Figure 6 — Installing the inside liner, rose, and lever
- 1 Align the holes in the liner with the holes prepared in the door.
- 2 Install through-bolts through the liner and the door in the top and bottom holes. See Figure 6.
- 3 Tighten the liner onto the door with the through-bolts.
- 4 Slide the rose over the sleeve, then press the rose onto the liner. The rose should fit closely to the door surface.
- 5 With the lever pointing toward the hinges, push the lever on firmly until seated.
7 Install strike plate
1 In alignment with the center of the latchbolt, mortise the door jamb to fit the strike box and strike plate.
Caution: The deadlocking plunger of the latchbolt must not enter the strike plate opening. The plunger deadlocks the latchbolt and prevents forcing the latch when the door is closed. A gap of more than 1/8" may reduce security and/or cause improper operation of the latchbolt.
2 Insert the strike box and secure the strike with the screws provided. See Figure 7.
Figure 7 — Installing the strike box and strike plate
8 Install core
Figure 8 — Installing the core
- 1 For R function locks , insert a screwdriver into the figure-8 opening and turn the locking mechanism counterclockwise as far as it will go. For all other function locks , go to step 2.
- 2 Insert the throw member into the core (see Figure 8 top).
- 3 Put the control key into the core and turn the key 15 degrees clockwise.
- 4 Put the core and throw member into the lever with the control key (see Figure 8—bottom).
- 5 Turn the key 15 degrees counterclockwise and remove the key.
Caution: Since the control key is a high-security key, make sure to keep it protected.
