® Your Unique Signature Pattern The SARGENT Signature Series protected cylinder and key program is a unique configuration of internal components within the cylinder barrel, body and dimpling on the key. The blending of these components and machining processes provides SARGENT a vast number of unique individual patterns.
Signature Series ® Signature Feature Description The SARGENT Signature feature is the interaction of unique components loaded into standard production cylinder parts modified to accept these components. How are the Cylinder Parts Modified? The parts which are modified to accommodate the Signature components are the cylinder barrel, cylinder body and key blank.
Signature Series ® Assembly of Signature Feature Inside the Cylinder The Signature feature operates independent of your cylinder’s master key system. The Signature feature provides two locking points within the cylinder in addition to the locking created by the master key system. Each of the holes drilled into the cylinder barrel for the Signature feature contains a side pin or keyway blocking pin and a side pin/keyway or blocking pin spring.
Signature Series ® Field Servicing the Signature Cylinder Types of Servicing Over the course of time, there are several types of field servicing that the building owner may need to perform on the Signature cylinder. • Pinning a new or re-combinating an existing Signature cylinder •...
Signature Series ® Blocking Bar Configuration SARGENT‘s Signature cylinder contains two (2) blocking bars. The bar is placed so that the witness mark side of the bar is either toward the keyway broaching or away from the keyway broaching. GUIDE TO OFFSET BAR ORIENTATION The position of the bars is determined by the last (seventh) digit of the Signature code pattern stamped on the keys to be used.
Signature Series ® Signature Pin Kit SARGENT has developed the Signature Series cylinder to be very simple to maintain and service. In keeping with this concept, SARGENT has a pin kit (catalog part #437S) and tools to assist in the field servicing of the Signature cylinder.
Signature Series ® Cutting Signature Keys Signature protected key blanks in your assigned code key pattern are available only from the SARGENT factory or through an authorized SARGENT distributor. (See section “How to Order Signature Components” for further details). No special equipment is required for cutting new or copying existing key bittings onto the dimpled Signature key blanks.
Signature Series ® Signature’s Affect on the Master Key System Your master key system is not affected by the Signature feature (other than making it more secure). As its functions are independent of the Signature feature, maintenance is no different than any other key system. The separation between its function and the Signature features allows the end-user to introduce the Signature feature into most existing SARGENT factory-generated master key systems.
Signature Series ® Acknowledgment Process A new PIN code is generated as each new purchase order for your Signature products is processed, or a new PIN code will be generated upon the end user (system owner’s) request. An acknowledgment containing the new PIN code will be mailed directly to your facility from the factory. This acknowledgment will be sent via a mailing process and it will be addressed to the attention of the area and authorized person(s), on record at the SARGENT’s Key Records Department.
