DOOR HARDWARE LUBRICATION
The mechanical components of the door
assembly are lubricated during assembly. If additional
lubrication is required, use the following lubricants.
Door lock cylinders should be lubricated with a light
oil. Door hinge pins and rollers should be lubricated at
normal service intervals with 30 weight engine oil. Do
not lubricate hinge roller to hold-open link contacting
surfaces as this may prevent the roller from rolling
properly. The remainder of all door hardware
mechanisms except lock mechanisms can be lubricated
with part no. 1052349, Lubricate Spray-Lube A, part
no. 1052196, Lubriplate Auto-Lube A or equivalent.
HARDWARE
ATTACHMENT THREAD LOCKING
Door hardware production attaching screws
contain an epoxy thread-locking compound to insure
that the minimum original torque setting will be
maintained.
Service attaching screws may not contain a
thread-locking compound. To prevent loosening of
service screws or to renew thread-locking
characteristics of production screws, the threads of the
fastener(s) can be treated with part no. 1052279,
Loctite 75 or equivalent, which is a two-part material
applied to the hardware attachment as a liquid. Upon
installation and tightening, the adhesive cures to bond
the attachment and prevent loosening or back out. The
adhesive bond does not prevent future removal if
required. Loctite 75 or equivalent can be used on any
threaded fastener.
SPRING CLIPS
Spring clips are used to secure remote control
connecting rods and inside locking rods to levers and
handles. A slot in the clip provides for disengagement
of the clips which allows for easier detachment of
linkage. . ~
