40H Series Service Manual
Universal locks Order a universal lock to allow for the option of changing functions to
meet future needs. Three universal functions are available that can be
configured to a variety of common functions, all without opening the lock
case. When any of the universal functions are ordered as a complete
lock, all necessary parts (including trim) are provided to configure any of
the functions in that group. Universal locks can only be ordered with
sectional (rose) trim. If escutcheon (J/M/N) trim is needed, order a three-
part lock as described below.
Three-part locks For maximum flexibility, a 40H Series Lock can be ordered in three
parts—inside trim, case only, and outside trim. The kits associated with
each of the three parts are designed so that when combined, all
necessary components of a 40H Series Lock are present. This method of
ordering is ideal for customers who want to stock a variety of trim
designs with a minimal number of lock cases.
THE ADVANTAGE OF KITS
Often a service manual is nothing more than a parts catalog. With 40H
Series Locks, we’ve raised the bar regarding the ease of ordering,
installing, and maintaining the lock. This service manual reflects this
streamlined approach.
When you order a part kit, rather than individual components, you get
peace of mind knowing that the manufacturer has already gone through
the work of matching up the right parts to ensure they all work together
and, more importantly, that you get all the pieces you’ll need. Through the
use of nomenclature, you specify what you need based on the required
application, and the factory assembles the appropriate parts to fill that
need.
WORKING WITH UNIVERSAL FUNCTIONS
The universal case design allows a number of common functions to be
configured starting from three universal functions. Some functions can
be configured using the parts provided when ordering the complete lock.
Others require additional or different trim that is applied to the universal
case assembly. Also, some of the functions normally included in the
universal locks have unnecessary internal parts that are removed when
the lock is ordered as a specific function, limiting their ability to be
converted to other functions.
