Installation Instructions
6300, 11-6300 & 10-6300
LFIC (Removable Core) Cylinders

Installation Notes

The 6300 series LFIC (Removable Core) uses a control key whose bittings match the Top Master Key of the key system in positions 1, 2, 5 and 6. The control bittings in positions 3 and 4 are selected from the Key Bitting Array of the master key system.
This method signiﬁ cantly reduces the bittings available in the Key Bitting Array of any Top Master Key. Increasing the levels in the master keying system and cross keying also has a signiﬁ cant impact on the yield of keys at each selected level.
The chamber stack value for the 6300 series LFIC (removable core) is normally calculated by using a stack value of 15 in positions 1, 2, 5, and 6. This is the total value of the bottom pins, master splits and driver pins that would be required to pin the core (based on the keying levels).
In chambers 3 and 4 of the 6300 series LFIC (removable core), the stack value is 20. This is done to allow the control key to achieve a shear line in chambers 3 and 4 of the control sleeve.

Important: Cylinders master keyed at the factory use hollow drivers and SARGENT recommends their continued use. Hollow drivers must be used in chambers 3 and 4. A different spring is used in conjunction with the hollow drivers.
These special drivers and springs are included in a special pinning kit 437 RC. The drivers and springs can also be ordered individually. The machined or hollow end of the hollow driver faces towards thespring.

65-6300 or 1 bitted cylinders are supplied for ﬁ eld keying and are provided with 2 key blanks
65-6300 cylinders are shipped without pins and springs
1 bitted cylinders supplied for ﬁ eld keying have pins loaded only in chambers 3 and 4
111111 bitted cylinders utilize a control key cut 113511

Installation Instructions

A Remove the retaining ring, then remove the barrel from the cylinder body and sleeve or load from the top using the Top Loading Kit (P/N 436-1). SARGENT

b With sleeve positioned correctly in cylinder body (as shown above), load barrel and cylinder body. Use the template on page 4 to determine pinning.
Note: The SARGENT rekeying kit 437 RC contains the hollow drivers and springs that must be used in chambers 3 and 4 for factory keyed cores prior to January 2009.

c Finish assembling by installing the retaining ring to barrel. The barrel is designed to hold the ring in position.

Important: The retaining ring must clear keyway. SARGENT 6300 Large
