REPLACEMENT LOCK CYLINDERS
New lock cylinders are available from the service parts warehouse with new lock cylinder locking bars. The tumblers are also available and must be
assembled into the cylinder as recommended. For additional information, refer to the following.
LOCK CYLINDER TUMBLER OPERATION
All lock tumblers are shaped alike with the exception of the notched position on one side. As the key is inserted into the lock cylinder, the tumblers are
lowered to the correct height so that notches on each tumbler are at the same level. When the notches on all six tumblers line up, two small springs
push the side bar into the notches, allowing the cylinder to turn in the cylinder bore. Five types of tumblers are used in making the lock combinations,
and each is coded and stamped with a number between 1 and 5.
