A. DETERMINING THE LOCK

LOCATION

Install the lock with exterior thumbturn hole at
least 7" (18 cm) above your primary lockset so it is
comfortable to operate and not in the way when
you turn the door knob (See Figure 1-1). Minimum
stile width recommended: 4" (102 mm).

B. MARKING THE DOOR

B-1 Doors Opening Inward

a. Fold the template (A) on the solid line (B).
b. Tape the template securely to the inside of

the door so that the fold is properly aligned
with the edge of the door (See Figure 2-1).

c. Use a center punch to mark the ten drilling

points indicated on the template.

d. Remove the template.

B-2 Doors Opening Outward

a. Fold the template (A) on the dashed line (B).
b. Tape the template securely to the inside of

the door (C) so that the dashed line is
aligned with the face of the door jamb (D)

(See Figure 2-2).

C. DRILLING HOLES IN THE DOOR

CAUTION: Positioning and drilling must be done straight to ensure trouble

free operation of the model 7106 lockset. Improper drilling may result in
excessive force being exerted on the lock which may result in the premature
wearing of its mechanical parts.

You must do Step 1 first or it will be impossible to drill the four

1

⁄4" (6 mm)

holes.
C-1 Use a

1

⁄4" (6 mm) drill bit to drill the four holes for the thru-bolts (See A in
Figure 3-1). To prevent splintering the door or breaking the drill bit, begin
drilling at a slow speed and increase the speed gradually until the tip of
the drill bit emerges from the other side of the door. Repeat this proce­dure from the opposite side of the door.

C-2 Use a hole saw with pilot bit to make the 1

3

⁄8" (35 mm) hole (B). Apply
pressure evenly until the circular blade cuts
the first side of the door and the tip of the
pilot bit emerges through the other side, then
stop. Drill from the other side until the 1

3

⁄8"

(35 mm) hole is completed.

C-3 Repeat Step C-2 for the

3

⁄4" (19 mm) hole

(See C in Figure 3-1).

C-4 Drill the four

1

⁄8" (3 mm) holes3⁄4" (19 mm)

deep (See D in Figure 3-1).

D. ADJUSTING THE LOCK

The lock has been pre-assembled to accommodate
doors up to 2

1

⁄4" (57 mm) thick. If your door is 1

3

⁄8" to 2" (35 mm to 51 mm) thick, you must short-
en both tailpieces X and Y (See Figure 4-1) and
shorten the (A) Two thru-bolts used to secure the
(B) combination change assembly.

D-1 Shorten the combination change tailpiece X

according to your door thickness. Tailpiece X
has been pre-marked for various door
thicknesses for accuracy and convenience.
a) After determining the break line, hold the
tailpiece firmly with a pair of pliers on the lock
side of the tailpiece, just beside the desired
break line.
b) With a second pair of pliers, grip the tail
piece at the other side of the line and bend it
up and down until it breaks (See Figure 4-2).

D-2 While holding the lockset firmly against the outside of the door, (See

Figure 4-1) mark tailpiece Y at the point where it extends

1

⁄2" -5⁄8" beyond
the interior surface of the door.
a) After determining the break line, hold the
tailpiece firmly with a pair of pliers on the
lock side of the tailpiece, just beside the
desired break line.
b) With a second pair of pliers, grip the tail
piece at the other side of the line and bend it
up and down until it breaks (See Figure 4-2).

D-3 Shorten each of the two reinforcing plate thru-

bolts (A) (See Figure 4-3) by gripping
at the threaded end with pliers and sawing
through, at the correct length (See Figure

4-4), with a fine-tooth hacksaw.

Note: Be careful not to damage the threads

when shortening the thru-bolts.

• For 1

3

⁄8” (35 mm) thickness doors, shorten thru-bolt at A.

• For 1

3

⁄4” (45 mm) thickness doors, shorten thru-bolt at B.

• For 2” (51 mm) thickness doors, shorten thru-bolt at C.

• For 2

1

⁄4” (35 mm) thickness doors, leave thru-bolt as is.

D-4 To secure (B) combination change assembly (See “G” Figure 5-2), utilize

two 2" (51 mm) bolts (H) for door thickness 1

3

⁄8" (35 mm) to 11⁄2" (38 mm).

For door thickness 1

1

⁄2" - 2" utilize two 23⁄8" (60 mm) bolts (H). For door

thickness 2" - 2

1

⁄4", utilize two 3" thru-bolts (H).

E. INSTALLING THE LOCK

The model 7106 lock is packaged for an inward
opening door. For an outward opening door, the
latch must be reversed (See Section F).

Figures 5-1 (outside of door) and 5-2 (inside of
door) show how the lock is installed and identify
each component by letter. Refer to these figures
as you follow the steps below.

E-1 Insert tailpiece (Y) into the 1

3

⁄8" (35 mm) cutout
(A) and the combination change tailpiece (X)
into the

3

⁄4" (19 mm) hole (B) (See Figure 5-1

plate (C). Finger tighten only.

E-3 Use a thin object A (screwdriver) to align tail-

piece (X) with the horizontal slot of the combi­nation change assembly (G) (See Figure 5-3).
Attach the combination change assembly (G)
with two flat head thru-bolts (H). Finger tight­en only (See Figure 5-2).

E-4 Securely tighten the two thru-bolts (D) to

reinforcing plate (C) (See Figure 5-2).

E-5 Position the cam on the inside rim deadlock-

ing (See Figure 5-4). Turn cam to the right
(clockwise) manually until it stops.

E-6 Mount the inside rim deadlocking latch (E) so

that tailpiece Y is engaged in the vertical posi­tion. Secure evenly with four screws (F). (See

Figure 5-2).

E-7 Lightly push the combination change assem-

bly down and secure screws evenly (See
Figure 5-5).

F. REVERSING THE LATCH

The model 7106 lock is packaged for an inward
opening door. For an outward opening door, the
latch must be reversed.

F-1 With the latch extended (A), remove the two

backplate screws from the underside of the
inside rim deadlocking latch. Remove the
backplate using a small flat blade screwdriver.

F-2 Carefully remove the latch spring (B) and

auxiliary latch spring (C) with a small flat
blade screwdriver.

F-3 Press the latch and auxiliary latch (D) into the

case to the stop position (See Figure 6-1).

F-4 Lift the auxiliary latch up and out. Reverse the auxiliary latch bevel and

place it back into the case. Hold the auxiliary latch down and slide it for­ward so it will project

3

⁄8" (10 mm) beyond the case front and hold the

auxiliary latch lever (E) out of the way.

F-5 While holding the auxiliary latch as instructed

in step 4, place the latch in the case with the
bevel in the same direction as the auxiliary
latch. Make sure the latch legs (F) are caught
on the ears of the turn knob lever (G) (See

Figure 6-2).

F-6 Push the latch and auxiliary latch forward

to the stop position so that they are fully
extended (See Figure 6-2). Insert the latch spring (H) (large opening of
spring) towards back of latch and the (small opening of spring) against the
spring seat. Insert one end of the auxiliary latch spring into the back of the
auxiliary latch and place the other end of the spring against the spring
seat.

F-7 When the springs are installed, the auxiliary latch lever (shaded area in

Figure 6-2) should be in the position shown in Figure 6-2.

F-8 If the cam (I) falls out, replace it in the thumbturn hole with the circular

opening facing up. Place the backplate onto the case with the letters fac­ing up towards you, and fasten with two screws removed in step 1. Check
the lock for freedom of movement by depressing the latch and auxiliary
latch into the lock case, then make sure that the latch and auxiliary latch
return back to their original fully extended position (See Figure 6-2).

Read the instructions through once before
attempting to change the combination.

J-1 Turn the outside thumbturn to the left (counter-

clockwise) until it stops (See Figure 10-1) then
return it clockwise slowly to the horizontal posi­tion and release.

J-2 Enter the existing combination (SeeFigure 10-2).
J-3 Insert a Phillips-head screwdriver into the cen-

tral piece of the combination change assem­bly (See Figure 10-3). Gently turn the screw-
driver to the right (clockwise) until it stops. A
slight click should be felt. DO NOT FORCE.

J-4 Remove the screwdriver from the combina-

tion change assembly.

Important: When removing the screwdriver, the
central piece must return to its initial position, if
not, set it back to its original position using the
screwdriver (See Figure 10-3). If the central
piece of the combination change assembly does
not return to its original position, the combination
will be cancelled and the lock will jam.

J-5 Turn the outside thumbturn left (counter clock-

wise) until it stops (See Figure 10-4) and return
it slowly clockwise to the horizontal position
and release.

J-6 Select a new combination and write it down

(some or all of the buttons may be used for
your new code, pressed individually or simulta­neously). Each button may be used only once.
We do not recommend the use of a one button
combination.

J-7 With the door open, enter your new combina-

tion (See Figure 10-5). Depress each button
fully and release it. You must feel a click each
time you press a button to know that the but­ton was fully depressed.

J-8 Turn the outside thumbturn to the right

(clockwise) (See Figure 10-6) until it stops; the
latch should retract.

J-9 Release the outside thumbturn; the latch

should return to its initial extended position.

Keep the door open and test the operation of the lock to make sure your
combination was set correctly.

Operating the lock: Repeat 2-3 times to ensure trouble-free operation
with new combination.

J-10 Turn the outside thumbturn to the left (counterclockwise) to “clear.”
J-11 Enter the combination. Depress each button fully and release it. You must

feel a click each time you press a button to know that it was fully
depressed.

J-12 Turn the outside thumbturn to the right (clockwise). The latch should

retract.

Tests:

1) Try to operate the lock without entering a combination. The thumbturn
should not turn to the right, retracting the latch. If it does turn, retracting
the latch, the combination was not properly entered. Set a new
combination by following steps J-1 to J-9, omitting Step J-2.

2) Try to operate the lock by entering a wrong combination. The thumbturn

should not turn to the right.

K-12 Once you have depressed all the digits in your new combination, turn the

control shaft (d) clockwise (See Figure 11-4). The code change button (h)
under lockout slide (g), should pop up (See Figure 11-4). Your new com­bination is now set.

K-13 Look at the code gear pockets (f). The numbers in you new combination

should not be at the shear line (open position) (See Figure 11-3).

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 end 2 plate joints. Replace the combination chamber into the
lock using the same 2 screws removed earlier. Slip the drive cam assembly
back on the control shaft of the chamber assuring it is in the same position
as prior to removal. Re-secure the back plate, assuring the tailpieces are seat­ed correctly using the same 2 screws removed earlier.

Testing: Enter the combination you preset during the reset process. Turn the
outside thumbturn to the right (clockwise). The latch should retract. If the
latch does not retract, turn the outside thumbturn left (counter-clockwise)
and release, then enter the code again.

L. TROUBLESHOOTING

?

Lock fails to open when combination is entered and outside thumbturn is
rotated clockwise.

 Buttons were not fully depressed when the combination was entered.
 Lock not cleared of previous attempts to enter access codes.

 Turn the outside thumbturn to the left to clear the wrong entry. Enter the

combination making sure you feel each button click to know that
it was depressed fully. Turn thumbturn clockwise.

?

Turning outside thumbturn clockwise always retracts latch without

depressing any buttons.
 Lock is in zero combination.
 Follow the procedure for setting a new combination (Section J, but omit

Step J-2).

?

Inside thumbturn only retracts bolt partially or not at all, in either clock-

wise or counterclockwise direction.
 Bolt was not properly installed.
 Remove and re-install the bolt. Review and follow instructions in Section E.

?

After setting a new combination, the lock works one time only, then fails to

open.
 Buttons of intended combination were not fully depressed when changing

combination.
 This is a lost combination situation. Review and follow instructions in

Section K.

K. INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESETTING UNKNOWN

COMBINATIONS

Remove and set aside the back plate held by on 4 screws. Remove the drive
cam assembly located on the control shaft on the back of the chamber.
Remove the combination chamber, held by 2 screws, from the lock.

To remove the 3-sided dust cover marked "Kaba Simplex," place the
combination chamber in the position below.

K-1 Place a small screwdriver on the edge of the

3-sided dust cover and push down on the
screwdriver (See Figure 11-1). The cover
should pop loose. Once it does, pull the
cover off of the combination chamber.

K-2 Hold the chamber in one hand by the screw

tab (b) on each end with the key-stems (c)
facing you and the control shaft (d) at the
bottom (See Figure 11-2).

K-3 Rotate the control shaft (d) counter-clockwise

and release to clear the chamber (See Figure 11-2).

K-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 (See Figure 11-3).

K-5 Find the code gear pocket/s (f) that is

farthest away from the shear line (open
position). Depress that key-stem/s (c) and
release (See Figure 11-3).

K-6 Find the code gear pocket/s (f) that is the next farthest away from the

shear line (open position). Depress that key-stem/s (c) and release (See

Figure 11-3).

K-7 Repeat step K-6 until all code gear pockets (f) are at the shear line

(open position).

K-8 If all the code gear pockets (f) are not lined up at the shear line

(open position), start over at step K-3.

K-9 Depress the lockout slide (g) at the top of the chamber and release. (looks

like one end of a spark plug) (See Figure 11-4).

K-10 Rotate the control shaft (d) counter-

clockwise to clear the chamber and release.
The lockout slide (g) should pop out (button
will not move yet) (See Figure 11-4).

K-11 Depress the key-stem/s (c) that you want in your new combination, releas-

ing each after it is depressed (See Figure 11-2).
