The internal lock cylinder only uses 4 of the 10 cut positions, 7-10. The tumbler positions are on both sides, are not self-retaining.





1. Rotate the cylinder (1) so the side with the tumbler spring wells faces up.

2. Insert the tumbler spring (2) into the 4 spring wells.

3. Install the first tumbler (3) for key cut position 7 in the slot nearest to the front of the lock cylinder. Install the remaining tumblers following the key code.

4. Press the tumblers in place until they are secure.

5. Check for correct loading of the tumblers by inserting the key into the cylinder. All tumblers should be flush with the lock cylinder body.
