Lock Cylinder Replacement
(14-0024 Installation Instructions)
In the event that your lock cylinder needs replacement or a key-a-like
situation is of interest, the lock cylinder can be removed and replaced
as long as you have the original key that was supplied with it.
STEPS:
1. Take the key and unlock the handle allowing it to extend out
of its recess (Fig. 2).
2. With the handle fully extended, push back the rubber seal
revealing the locking cylinder bolt (Fig. 3).
3. Take a small screwdriver or similar pointed object, push the
cylinder bolt into its recess and rotate key fully clockwise
(Fig. 4). This action allows the lock cylinder to release from
its handle housing. Pull the cylinder out via the engaged key
(Fig. 5).
4. Take the replacement cylinder, turn its key to the right to
unlock the mechanism and push it into the receiving housing
of the handle until the bolt engages the slot thereby securing
the cylinder into the handle.
5. Pull the protective seal back over the handle shaft and into
place so as to effectively seal the assembly.
6. Test the key in the lock and return the handle to the
recessed, locked position.
Locking/Securing your MONSTER BOX™:
The MONSTER BOX™ series comes equipped with a drill resistant
replaceable lock cylinder and handle assembly. Each unit is supplied
with (4) keys.
STEPS:
1. To open the lock, insert the key and rotate 90 degrees to the
right (Fig. 1).
2. The recessed handle should pop free from the recess for
accessing it (Fig. 2).
3. Grab the handle and rotate to the right to disengage the
locking rods.
4. Lift the cover or swing open doors for access as needed.
5. Ensure the lock handle is in the unlatched position before
closing the doors or covers to avoid colliding the latch into
the latch pin.
6. To lock, simply insert the key and trun left to the locked
position and remove the key. Turn the handle to the left and
push it back into its recess.
