After unpacking lockers, align left to right with
multiple door side opening facing you as pictured
under STEP 5 to the right.
STEP 2
Bolt lockers together in four places on the front
and back as shown in DETAIL A.
Evidence Locker Installation Instructions
STEP 3
If the sides of the locker will be visible,
install the evidence end trim panels. End panel
installation instructions are on page 8.
STEP 4
If end trim was ordered for a recessed locker,
clamp the vertical trim components keeping
the trim ush and centered with the front of the
lockers.
STEP 5
Attaching trim with no end panels -
To attach the trim to the frame, drill 3/16” holes
in the locker frame to match the holes in the
vertical trim. Use the included sheet metal
screws to attach the trim to the frame.
If you are attaching trim with end panels, see
Steps 6 & 7. If you are not using end panels
move on to STEP 8.
STEP 6
Attaching trim with end panels -
If end panels were installed per instructions on
page 8, drill holes in the end panels to match the
holes in the trim sections.

STEP 7
If either the front or rear of the locker will be
proud of the wall, adjust the location of the
recessed trim so that it will be ush with the wall
and present a nished appearance. Secure the
trim with provided sheet metal screws.
STEP 8
Install the top trim angle by drilling 1/8” holes
in the horizontal trim angle and securing it with
the included 3/4” socket head cap screws.
STEP 9
If the run of lockers is longer than 72”, repeat
STEP 7 using the included adder trim kit.
STEP 10
If applicable, eld cut the trim to length as
needed using tin snips.
STEP 11
Slide the lockers into the wall opening until the
trim is ush against the wall. At this point, the
recessed trim can be installed on the rear side
of the locker.
STEP 12
Check lockers for plumb and level. If required,
level lockers following the instructions on page 9.
STEP 13
Once the lockers are plumb and level, eld drill
two 3/16” holes through the frame. See DETAIL
B. Anchor the lockers to wall or, if the situation
provides, to a wall stud (hardware not included).
7
TOP/BOTTOM TRIM ANGLE
STEP 14
If desired, drill holes through the bottom shelf
for anchoring to the oor (hardware not
included).
STEP 15
Test all doors for correct operation. If there are
any issues with the keyless lift latch, see pages
10-11 for troubleshooting instructions.

End Panel Installation Instructions
STEP 1
Ensure the frame is clean and dry to promote
good adhesion between the end panel and
locker.
STEP 2
Apply primer where the adhesive will contact
the frame.
IMPORTANT – Make sure to use the
primer in the hardware pack to ensure a
good bond between end trim panel and
the locker frame.
STEP 3
Remove the backing from the tape on the end
panel and press rmly into place ensuring that
the end panel is properly located.

Leveling an Evidence Locker
STEP 1
Look at the access holes on the hinge side of
the locker to determine what type of screw was
used to attach it to the wall or the next locker.
See PHOTO 1. For new construction the lockers
should not be attached to the walls yet.
STEP 3
Place the thin tapered edge of the shim
directly under the hinge side of the locker and
begin tapping on it with the hammer. Frequently
check for plumb and level during this step. See
PHOTO 2.
PHOTO 1
The red circles show where the lockers
are bolted together or to the wall.
PHOTO 2
STEP 4
Stop shimming when the locker is plumb and
level.
STEP 5
When the locker is correctly shimmed, break o
the excess shim and discard the left over piece.
STEP 6
Tighten up the screws in the frame that were
loosened in STEP 2 or attach the locker to the
wall.
STEP 7
If the keyless lift latches do not function
correctly see pages 10-11 for troubleshooting
instructions.
STEP 2
Using the appropriate driver, loosen the screws
if applicable.

Keyless Lift Latch Adjustment
STEP 1
Make sure locker is plumb and level. See page 9
for instructions on leveling a locker. Check doors
and locks after shimming to see if that was the
issue.
STEP 2
Ensure that the doors did not shift or sag during
shipping by examining the gap between the door
and frame. If this is the issue, see pages 12-14
for door adjustment instructions.
PHOTO 1
STEP 3
If the locking rod and door are not the
problem, use a 7/16” nut driver to loosen the
bolts that hold the lock in place. See PHOTO 2.
PHOTO 2
PHOTO 3
STEP 4
Make sure the lock is all the way forward, there is
not much forward movement. See PHOTO 3.
STEP 5
If the lock will not release raise the lock up.
STEP 6
If the lock will not engage push the lock down.

STEP 7
Tighten down the bolts loosened in STEP 4 and
check the function of the locks.
STEP 8
Repeat STEPS 4-6 if more adjustment is needed.
STEP 9
Test several times to ensure that the lock is
working consistently.
STEP 10
Double check the tightness of the lock bolts.

Adjusting or Replacing Door or Components
STEP 1
Drill a hole in the plastic covers on the inside of
the door big enough so that the tip of a at blade
screwdriver will t.
STEP 2
Put the tip of the screw driver in the hole and pry
the plastic cover o exposing the PEMs and nuts
underneath. See PHOTO 1.
PHOTO 1
STEP 3
Remove the 3/8” nuts that hold the cover on the
door with the nut driver. See PHOTO 2.
PHOTO 2
STEP 4
Close the door halfway and the spring will pull
the cover o. Then, angle the front end of the
cover o of the studs and pull it back over the
lock latch rod. Carefully place the cover in the
locker to prevent damage. See PHOTO 3.

Adjusting or Replacing Door or Components -Continued
STEP 5
Remove the 3/8” locknuts holding the hinge cap
on. Remove the hinge cap and any washers that
may be on the PEM studs. Make a note of the
washer location then set them aside with the
hinge cap. See PHOTO 4.
PHOTO 4
STEP 6
The door can be removed by partially closing it
and then pulling the door o of the hinge rod.
See PHOTO 5.
PHOTO 5
STEP 7
When replacing the door make sure that the
thin black spacer is on the top of the door. It will
most likely have to be pushed to the top of the
door during re-assembly. See PHOTOS 6 & 7.

STEP 8
Replace any washers that may have been on the
PEM studs, then install the hinge rod cover and
locknuts. Do not overtighten the locknuts as this
will make small dents in the door. See PHOTO 8.
STEP 9
Make sure that the gap between the door and
frame is consistent on the top and bottom of the
door. If necessary, slightly loosen the nuts
tightened in STEP 8 and adjust the door to
achieve a consistent gap. Re-tighten the nuts
when the door is correctly positioned.
STEP 10
Close the door and test the latch before
putting the cover back on.
STEP 11
Close the door halfway and replace the door
cover by placing it over the latch rod and then
the PEM studs.
STEP 12
Tighten the locknuts and install the new plastic
caps in the access holes. See PHOTO 9.
