How to use

Position the lock on the enclosure door at the desired location and secure it using appropriate fasteners for the cabinet material. If a lock cylinder insert is required, install the cylinder according to the manufacturer’s instructions and test operation to ensure smooth locking and unlocking.

Recommendations
