1. Tension In a 5 Lever Mortice Lock one applies Tension on the Levers using a tension wrench to pull back the Bolt Stump until it touches the Levers With the Simplex mechanical digital locks such as the Simplex 7000 te or 900 we have a thumb turn which is effectively direct drive on the Multi Stump slide of the Code Chamber r A BD With the 1000 series etc we have a knob or handle these locks incorporate a clutch between the handle and Multi Stump Slide of the Code Chamber With direct drive Tension is achieved by turning the thumb turn clockwise only light Tension is required If too much Tension is used more than more 1 Button will indicate as being lt lt SOLID gt gt With those locks that have clutches there is little control you have to turn the knob handle clockwise anti clockwise depending on the variation of the product model in the opening direction just enough to apply Tension but not so much that the clutch slips this could be a bit tiresome wultadeLock lt a 15 Part i Section 8 The Number 1 Code Gear Within the Code Chamber the Code Gears are held in place by spacers incorporated into a pressed steel cage The construction of the cage limits the amount of free axial movement of the Number 1 Code Gear so much so that when Tension is applied the Multi Stump Slide only initially makes contact with the Number 1 Code Gear therefore we always start the process by testing Number 12. Therefore now we know that No 5 C G only required 1 Step C to align its Gate and is therefore the last number in Code The known Code thus far is 1 3 Step C s 5 1 Step C B lt S gt it is in the Code therefore we find out where B is in the Code B at its 1 Step C as No 5 C G is already in the last position with 1 Step C wmmitadeLock ou P A 27 28 No 1 C G has advanced 3 Step C s No 3 C G has advanced 2 Step C s and No 5 C G has advanced by 1 Step C B s both move toDP 3 This tells us that No 3 C G is not aligned yet having only been advanced by 2 Step C s We cannot test it with 3 Step C s because No 1 C G has already been advanced by 3 Step C s already taking that position Therefore we advance B to detect whether it is the 1 or 2 number of the Code i dance Therefore No 3 C G required 4 Step C s to align its Gate and is 4 from last number in Code NB This also means that there can only be ONE Double Number Press number in this Code The known Code thus far is 3 4 Step C s 1 3 Step C s 5 1 Step C s a We now need to find the position of number No 4 C G in the Code Reset Press gs 0 0 0 B and this shows to be lt S gt Therefore B is in the Code And No 4 C G is in its correct position Press ps0 0 0 0 0 Try to open the lock and in this instance it will not open therefore there must
