SKB 3i series standard latch change
out to TSA locking latch instructions
This kit includes two latches and 4 latch pins.
You will use the spare latch pins to drive out the
pin that is in your case, and you can replace the
pins in your case if they are damaged. Follow
these instructions to replace your latches:
1. Align extra latch pin from kit with the pin
installed on the case from the center of the case
and tap the pin out using a hammer until you
have enough exposed to grip the pin with a pair
of pliers.
2. Slide the latch pin out using the pliers until it
clears the latch if your case is the two rib design,
or all the way out if it is the single rib design.
3. Actuate the trigger to remove the old latch and
then place the new locking latch on the case and
slide all the way up to align the pin holes.
Align spare pin and tap out with hammer Pin is out far enough to grip with pliers
4. If you removed the latch pin completely make
sure that you reinstall the pin with the smooth
end going in first. One end of the pin has raised
grooves on it to lock it into the case. Lightly tap
the pin back into place until it is flush with the
side of the rib. Actuate the latch to make sure it
operates smoothly and your installation is
complete.
