CYLINDER OPERATION

THE UNPARALLELED SECURITY CYLINDER

The ASSA Twin 6000 cylinder is a high-security option for any ASSA lock and retrofits most other manufacturers’ locks. A specially shaped key simultaneously operates two independent locking mechanisms. Both the key and sidebar incorporate precision coding.

• MATERIALS. The cylinder housing and inner plug are high-quality brass. Pins are stainless steel, hardened stainless steel or nickel silver.
• MANUFACTURER TOLERANCES. Precision machining ensures smooth, positive operation and extended cylinder life.
• DRILL RESISTANCE. In addition to side and tumbler pins, case-hardened drill-resistant inserts are embedded in the cylinder plug and housing.
• PICK RESISTANCE. ASSA Twin 6000 cylinders have two independent shear lines that help assure optimum pick resistance. “False” grooves in the side pins catch the sidebar when improperly positioned. When the rotational force is applied, counter milling in the cylinder plug catches the spool driver pins.
• KEYS. ASSA Twin keys are manufactured from quality nickel silver material. The key’s rounded back facilitates smoother operation and minimizes wear. The large key bow simplifies key identification, and use by manually impaired people.
• OTHER DESIGNS. ASSA Twin 6000 cylinders are available in different shapes for use in many types of locks.
• PATENTS. Existing U.S patents and those existing and pending in over two dozen manufacture or use of unauthorized keys or cylinders. Any infringement of the ASSA patents rights will be forcefully prosecuted in court.

HIGH-SECURITY CYLINDERS FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS

Mortise and Rim Type Cylinders
ASSA 6000 mortise and rim cylinders are designed to replace original cylinders in many types of common locks. Made to standard dimensions and available in a variety of finishes, these reliable cylinders stand up to the heaviest use imaginable. ASSA 6000 mortise cylinders will improve the security of locks installed in aluminum storefront doors, as well as standard mortise locks by Schlage, Yale, Sargent, and other manufacturers. They also can be applied to a wide variety of special locking devices. Rim-type 6000 cylinders are designed for commercial exit and panic devices, as well as vertical deadbolt locks commonly used on apartment and condominium doors.

Key-In-Knob Cylinders
Knob locks by Schlage, Yale, Russwin, Sargent, and other manufacturers can be retrofitted with ASSA 6000 high-security cylinders. Specifically engineered shapes replace only the original cylinder – greatly improving key control without the cost of replacing the entire lock!

High-Security Deadbolts
ASSA 6000 deadbolt locks can be used to replace existing deadbolts or improve security on other doors. Two types of bolts and strike plates simplify installation in either wood or metal doors and frames, steel, saw-resistant deadbolt has full one-inch throw. Two models are available: double-cylinder and single cylinder with inside thumb turn.

Padlocks
Three grades of ASS 6000 padlocks expand the application of master key systems: they also provide independent security on gates, machines, vehicles, etc. Case-hardened shackles and ball-locking mechanisms are housed in brass or steel barrels. Rekeyable and virtually maintenance-free, each ASSA 6000 padlock offers the same high standards of key control, pick resistance, and rill resistance common to all ASSA 6000 products.

ASSA TWIN 6000 KEYS, KEYBLANKS

Key blanks

• Sidebar Code is cut at ASSA Factory. Key blanks are provided as shown.
•  Sidebar code/profile can be identified on key bow.
  • Example 545-50

Key cutting
Sidebar code is pre-cut at the ASSA Factory. Pin Tumbler Codes can be cut on most code machines and duplicating machines. Manual duplicating machines, historically, produce better duplicating keys than automatic machines. The Twin 6000 key is a hefty quality key. ASSA recommends quality cutters. ASSA has cutter and code cards available for the HPC 1200 CN code machine.

Key stamping
All new keys should be stamped as original. Stamping procedures are as follows.

Decoder for KD/KA combinations. Count from tip to bow. Example: EAEGJC = 126958

KD Blind Codes can be found on factory code tags.

SIDEBAR COMPONENTS

Side bar assembly method is for all ASSA Twin 6000 cylinders

1. Turn cylinder plug upside down. Insert the side pin springs into the holes.
   NOTE: These pin holes are drilled from the bottom side of the cylinder plug.

2. Insert the side pins with the hollowed end towards the spring. Be sure that the springs and pins are properly seated in the recesses. If a spring or pin is jammed, the cylinder will not function,
   NOTE: All side pins are the same.

3.  Keep the cylinder plug upside down and insert the key, for that cylinder,  to keep the side pins in place.
   NOTE: Depress side pins in order to insert the key.

4. Insert the short springs (side bar springs) in the small holes at each end of the groove along the cylinder plug for the side bar. Be  sure that the springs seat correctly.

5.  Place the side bar so that the shelves (lug) correspond to the deep waist of the side pins. Press the side bar into groove so that it can be fully depressed into the cylinder plug.
   NOTE: The key should be kept in the cylinder plug at all times during assembly.If side bar does not fully depress into the cylinder plug, side bar may be inverted.

6.  Slide the cylinder plug into cylinder housing. If the position of the side bar is correct, the cylinder plug will turn. Hold the cylinder plug in place when drawing out the key.

7. Fasten the tail piece and the tail washer. After assembly, test the cylinder for proper operation.
