A. Lubrication and Cleaning
1. Each lock is well lubricated at the time of assembly. However, all lubricants deteriorate
eventually and need replacing on a regularly scheduled basis to prevent equipment failure.
Airteq Systems recommends cleaning and lubricating each type of lock according to the
following instructions approximately every (2) years. (Yearly for locks in high use areas,
every 3 to 6 months for exterior locations).
2. General Lubrication:
i. Remove lock cover plate and back plate.
ii. Wipe contaminated/dirty surfaces and remove all foreign material
iii. Lubricate the following areas with Super Lube grease or equivalent (Sythentic lubricant
with PTFE aka Teflon):
•
Latch bolt and deadlatch surfaces where they exit the lock body and at the back
‘ shafts ’ where they enter the guide base.

Dead latch lever where it contacts lock body front and top of actuator
•
RLB arm surface where it contacts the actuator roller
•
Actuator roller sleeves
