Cutting The Tubes - Kaba Mas DKX-10 Installation Manual

HELPFUL HINT: If available, another inner tube inserted from the dial ring side, with the cables carefully fed through it,
can be very helpful as a guide in feeding the cables through the door.
3. Upon locating the Lock Assembly correctly, install the two remaining machine Screws (115052). With all four machine
screws in place, and the Lock assembly located correctly, tighten all four screws to keep the assembly in place.
4. When sure the position of the lock is complete, install the two remaining mounting screws (Sheet Metal/Wood_115031)
nearest the strike opening (top and bottom) to attach the DKX-10 assembly to the Door Panel.

Cutting the Tubes

WARNING: The end of the large tube that is to be discarded must be from the plain (un-flared) end of the tube. The end
of the small tube that is to be discarded must also be from the plain (un-notched) end of the tube.
1. Make sure that the outer tube is properly placed over the lock case tube retainer.
2. While holding the outer tube firmly in its seated position, use a 6" scale or ruler to measure 5/16" from the container wall
and mark the outer tube at this length.
3. Remove the outer tube for cutting.
4. Assemble the saw blade and wooden saw handle provided. To assemble the saw, grip the saw frame in a vise, just below
the neck. Drive the handle fully onto the neck. This will reduce the tendency of the handle to turn on the saw frame when
sawing.
NOTE: This saw is intended only for cutting the tubes. A standard hacksaw should be used to cut the spindle.
5. Insert the tube to be cut into the rubber vise clamp (provided), with the mark just beyond the clamp. Then firmly clamp
the rubber vise clamp in a vise. Use the saw to cut the tube where marked. Be careful to keep the cut as straight as
possible. Remember the saw only cuts when pushing. Trying to cut while pulling may pull the handle off of the saw
blade.
6. The inside and outside of the tubes must be deburred after cutting. Use the stone which is provided for this purpose.
Make sure there are no sharp edges on either tube inside and outside so as not to damage the cables.
7. Install the inner tube on the lock case. Feed the cables through the outer tube and install the outer tube on the lock case.
Measure and mark the inner tube to be 1/16" to 1/8" longer than the outer tube. Remove the inner tube and cut by the
same method as described in Step 5.
WARNING: The end of the outer tube that is to be discarded must be from the plain (un-flared) end of the tube. The end
of the inner tube that is to be discarded must also be from the plain (un-notched) end of the tube.
