Locking Bar (b) by utilizing (2)
mounting screws (c).
A-2 Position the File Guard on either
side of the file cabinet.
A-3 Be sure the File Guard is parallel
to the side of the file cabinet
and that the top of the bar is

that the Locking Bar will
engage the Notch Pin (j)

A-6 Drill a 13⁄32" hole (i) in the base of
the file cabinet and install the
Notch Pin (j).

Notch Pin (j), mark the
position for Clevis Pin
(h) in the upper frame
of the file cabinet.

upper frame and install the
Clevis Pin.

D. INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESETTING AN
UNKNOWN COMBINATION
Remove the push button unit from the file guard bar by removing
the 2 screws on the back of the file guard bar. Set the bar aside.
Remove the combination chamber from the lock held in by 2 screws.
To remove the 3-sided dust cover marked “Kaba Simplex,” place
the combination chamber in the
position below.
D-1 Place a small screwdriver on
the edge of the 3-sided dust
cover and push down on the
screwdriver. The cover should
pop loose. Once it does, pull the cover off of the
combination chamber.
D-2 Hold the chamber in one hand by the screw tabs (b)
on each end with the key-stems (c) facing you and the
control shaft (d) at the bottom.
D-3 Using pliers or equivalent, rotate the control shaft (d)
counterclockwise and release to clear thechamber.

D-4 Look at the 5 code gears (e). If any code gear pockets (f) are
already at the shear line (open position), ignore them. They are
not used in the combination.
Note: Shear line (open position) references the “L” shaped feet
already align with the mating gear pocket.
D-5 Find the code gear pocket/s (e) that is farthest away
from the shear line (open position). Depress that key-
stem/s (c) and release. If any digits in the combination
were depressed together (at the same time), then they
must also be depressed together to reset the combina-
tion.
D-6 Find the code gear pocket/s (e) that is the next
farthest away from the shear line (open position).
Depress that key-stem/s (c) and release.
Note: If any of the code gear pockets travel past the shear line
(open position), the key stems have been depressed in the wrong
sequence. Start over at D-3.
D-7 Repeat step D-6 until all code gear pockets (e) are at the shear
line (open position).
D-8 If all the code gear pockets (e) are not lined up at the shear line
(open position), start over at step D-3.
D-9 Depress the lockout slide (g) at the top of the chamber and
release. (looks like one end of a spark plug)
D-10 Using pliers or equivalent, rotate the control shaft (d) counter-
clockwise to clear the chamber and release. The
lockout slide (g) should pop out (button underneath
will stay depressed bh8).
D-11 Depress the key-stem/s (c) that you want in the
new combination, releasing each after it is
depressed.
D-12 Once all the digits in the new combination have
been depressed, with pliers or equivalent, rotate
the control shaft (d) clockwise. The code change
button (h) underneath the lockout slide (g), should
pop up. The new combination is now set.

D-13 Look at the code gear pockets (e). The digits in
the new combination should not be at the shear
line (open position).
Reinstallation:
Replace the 3-sided dust cover marked “Kaba Simplex.” Make sure
the staked joints on both end plates fit through the slots on the dust
cover. Stake the 2 end plate joints. Replace the combination chamber
into the lock. Remount the lock housing assembly to locking bar.
Testing:
Enter the combination set during the reset process. Turn the
thumbturn to the right (clockwise). The bolt should retract. If not,
turn the thumbturn left (counterclockwise) and release. Enter the
combination again and turn thumbturn to the right (clockwise). If
still unsuccessful, start over at D-1.
