Knox DOCUMENT CABINET User manual

Each Knox Document Cabinet is coated with a tough TGIC
powder coating and includes a 1/8" thick stainless steel
dust cover to protect the lock. It is always best, however, to
locate the unit in an area which is sheltered from moisture
and possible mechanical damage.
The Knox Document Cabinet itself is an inherently strong
cabinet, but proper mounting is important to achieve
desired security.
Knox Document Cabinets are fully tested and listed by
Underwriters Laboratories as anti-theft devices.
GENERAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. CAUTION! Be extremely careful when handling the
Knox Document Cabinet prior to installation. When not
mounted, the door will be OPEN. Always hold box and
door securely to prevent door closing on ngers and
causing injury.
Tamper Alert: If your Knox Document Cabinet has the
Tamper Alert feature, remove the rear Tamper Alert and
set aside for installation after the cabinet is mounted.
2. Always mount your Knox Document Cabinet to
a secure solid wall. The Knox Document Cabinet
should never be mounted with the door facing up.
3. Use a small level to plumb the box square.
4. Use at least eight (8) mounting fasteners (Grade 8
bolts) of 5/16" diameter. Units may also be welded
into place. For best security, bolts should go through
a solid wall with large washers on the opposite side.
5. We strongly recommend that all Tamper Alert
connections and adjustments be carried out by a
qualied alarm technician.

MOUNTING THE KNOX DOCUMENT CABINET
The Knox Document Cabinets have eight (8) pre-drilled
mounting holes in the back side, each 5/16" in diameter.
Outside dimensions of the unit are 14-1/2" W x 18" H x 7" D;
the door swings 15" to the left.
When mounting Knox Document Cabinet to wall, check
to see that rear “Cabinet-to-Wall” Tamper Alert plunger is
depressed at least 3/16" and is activated. The Tamper Alert
is rated at 36 VDC, at 50 mA.
Door handle is equipped with a unique clutch device
which disengages when the handle is forced while the
door is locked.
Two (2) holes in the lock dust cover enable it to accept a
numbered security seal to indicate when the lock cover
has been opened. Each time the lock cover is opened, the
seal is broken and a new seal must be inserted. Standard
security precautions will require that persons opening the
cabinet sign their name in a log book inside the cabinet,
indicating the number of the old and the new seal. Seals
may be obtained from the Knox Company.
