WARNING: The Kaba Mas X-10 used with the DKX-10 type II is protected from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
damage once installed, but can be damaged during the installation process if proper precautions are not
observed. Follow these precautions to avoid ESD damage when installing the lock:
• Do not touch the end of the flex cable if the ESD protective cover has been removed.
• For the best protection, use an ESD wrist band grounded to the lock during installation.
• The lock is protected to greater than 25,000 V when correctly installed.
NOTE: The GSA approved Kaba Mas FF-L-2890B type II Lever Release Lockset is available for use with a Kaba
Mas, Style 1, X-10 combination lock or a Sargent & Greenleaf (S&G) 2740B, Style 2 combination lock.
This document designates the Best 9K Cylindrical Lockset with a modified CDX-10 lock as: DKX-10 Type II.
This document also designates the Best 9K Cylindrical Lockset with a modified CDX base with the S&G
2740B lock as: DKX-19, Type II.
The DKX-10, Type II combines, through linkage, a Best 9K cylindrical lockset and a Kaba Mas CDX-10 base-
plate. If the system is ordered with a Kaba Mas X-10, the X-10 is mounted to the baseplate. If the system
is ordered with an S&G combination lock, the S&G lock is mounted to the CDX-10 baseplate. The
procedure to mount the DKX unit to the door is the same whether the combination lock is an X-10 or an
S&G 2740B lock. The process to install and set up the X-10 (once the CD base plate is mounted to the
door) is the same as it would be for any X-10 or CDX-10 installation. The installation and setup for the
S&G 2740B lock is also the same as it would be for any standard installation. A copy of the Kaba Mas X-10
installation instructions is provided when the device is ordered with an X-10. S&G’s 2740B lock installation
instructions are provided with the S&G lock when it is specified.
Only technicians who have successfully completed manufacturer certified training for FF-L 2740B
combination locks should install the DKX-10 or the DKX-19.
NOTE: One set of instructions should be left with the building owner after devices have been installed.

Mark Cylindrical Lockset and Strike Locations
NOTE: Door must be fitted and hung properly before proceeding.
NOTE: Most doors are equipped with rubber bumpers to dampen the closure. The door must remain in the same state in
which it was prepped.
NOTE: The suggested distance from the finished floor surface to the Best 9K cylindrical lockset horizontal reference
centerline is 38", and may be varied to meet application requirements. However, in no case should this distance be greater
than 48" due to National Fire Protection Association code requirements.
Figure 2 is a reference for the two drill templates referenced in this instruction guide.
It is recommended that the installer scribe two horizontal centerlines 10" apart, on both the door and the strike
mounting surface.The line be the locator for both locksets, and associated strikes.

Figure 3 - Tube-Cable Assembly Relationships
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.
6Cutting 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 ⁄" 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.

7Installation of the Lock
1. Place the inner tube into the lock case tube retainer. Ensure that the cutout in the tube aligns with the cables and allows
the tube to seat completely in the tube retainer.
2. Refer to Figure 5. Feed the cables through the outer, larger, tube starting from the flared end of the tube. Seat the tube
into position on the tube retainer on the back of the lock case assembly. Be careful to keep the cables pulled taut while
seating the tube to avoid pinching damage to them.
ALTERNATE METHOD: Depending on the width of the door, it may be easier to insert the non-flared end of the outer
tube through the spindle hole from the inside of the door and feed the cables through the tube, and then seat the flared
end of the tube on the tube retainer.

8Installation of the Dial Ring
1. Remove the two screws from the dial ring assembly cover and remove the cover.
NOTE: Make sure the tubes are projecting through the door. If not, the tubes are
not seated properly in the lock or they were not cut to the proper length. Correct
the problem before proceeding.
2. If necessary, rotate the tube retainer in the dial ring so that the cables come
through the notch in the tube retainer.
3. Feed the cables through the tube retainer on the dial ring assembly and place the
dial ring assembly over the end of the tubes. Make sure the tubes are seated in the
tube retainer on the dial ring assembly.
4. Attach the dial ring to the door with the dial ring mounting screws and tighten to
the specified torque.

4. Install at least one of the stick-on cable guides in an appropriate position to restrain the cables.
5. Route the cables through the cable guide that was just installed.
6. Depending on the thickness of the door, additional cable guides may be necessary to ensure the cables are sufficiently
restrained. Install additional guides as needed, and route the LCD and generator cables through them to ensure that the
cables do not get routed through the “KEEP CLEAR” area, over the Zebra connector, or near where the geared end of the
dial hub will project through the dial ring cover.
Cable Guide Locators Dial Ring Cover
11 Installation of the Dial Ring Cover
1. Align the dial ring cover with the dial ring so that the generator will seat into the five o’clock position and the four aligning
lugs align with the corresponding slots in the dial ring.
2. Carefully slide the dial ring cover into the dial ring.
3. Hold the dial ring cover in place and tighten the two dial ring cover mounting screws to the specified torque.
12 Cutting and Installing the Spindle
1. Ensure that the lock bolt is extended and remove the cam from the lock case.
2. Slide the dial hub onto the spindle, turning the hub slightly to align the generator drive gear teeth. Hold the drive cam
assembly in place while installing the dial hub.
3. Snug down one setscrew to hold the dial hub in place.
4. Mark the spindle flush to the dial hub.
5. Loosen the setscrew and remove the hub.
ALTERNATE METHOD: The hub may be left on instead of removed, and used as a vise to hold the spindle while cutting.
8. Carefully cut the spindle so that it will be flush to the dial hub after installation.
CAUTION: The spindle should not extend past the dial hub once installed but may be recessed up to 1/32" below the sur-
face of the hub. If it extends past the dial hub, it must be filed to flush.
9. Remove all burrs from the end of the spindle.

13 Installation of the Dial Hub and Dial
1. Apply lubricant to the hub bearing surface.
2. While holding the drive cam and spindle in their proper positions in the lock case assembly inside the door, push the dial
hub assembly onto the spindle.
3. Make a bend in the dial hub locating gauge at its midpoint. This will keep it from acting as a spring as the hub is
positioned for locking to the spindle.
4. Place the Dial Hub Locating Gauge over the spindle and between the dial hub assembly and the bushing in the dial ring
cover. This sets up an initial 0.010" end play.
5. Push the dial hub and the spindle assembly toward each other. While maintaining a constant pressure on them,
SECURELY tighten the setscrews in the dial hub assembly to 17-20 inch-pounds of torque (a minimum of 1" deflection of
the handle of the hex key). Tighten the inner setscrew first.
CAUTION: Tighten in a downward motion in case the hex key should break.
6. Remove the dial hub locating gauge.
7. Apply lubricant to the retaining ring on the dial hub assembly and position the retaining ring so that an equal amount of
it is consistently exposed around the hub. Also apply grease from the lubricant tube to the entire ramp area just inside the
back of the dial and also to the inner surface of the 5-sided formed clutch spring within the dial.
NOTE: Ensure that the retaining ring gap is aligned with the setscrews and that an equal amount of the retaining ring.
8. Ensure that the 5-sided flat spring is fully recessed in the dial with the spring gap aligned with the internal key of the dial.
9. Carefully align the dial assembly so that the 5-sided formed spring matches the flats of the dial hub assembly. Holding
the dial square to the spindle, apply pressure to the dial until the retaining ring seats in the dial.
NOTE: The dial should not be able to be pulled away from the dial hub assembly. The dial clutch should provide a slip
torque of 7 to 25 inch-pounds.
2. Verify the operation of the lock as described on the following page under Installation Completion Checklist.

15 Install Lock Cable Assembly
1. Ensure correct assembly of the Rod End Connector (515086), Connecting Screw (515039), Jamb Nut (115123) and Cable
Assembly (116036).
NOTE: Do not tighten the Jamb Nut Down on the Connector Rod until the optimum timing is achieved in opening the
DKX-10 or DKX-19 high security lock
2. Attach this subassembly to the Cam (515027 or 515035) with the Retaining Clip (515041).
3. Refer to Figure 7 or Figure 8 depending on the handing of the installation. Use lubricant (9810004) to adequately grease
all moving parts on both RH and LH cable/cam and levers. A generous application of grease is recommended.
4. For LH and LHR doors, the gear cam plate assembly is used to rotate the knob. When aligning the gears, the timing
mark on the Lever Arm Gear (515105) should be between the two timing marks, represented by two indents, on the side
of the Knob Cam Gear (515104), when the deadbolt is in the extended position as shown in Figure 8. Ensure that the
meshing gear teeth have been properly greased.
