6:1 Locking Mechanism 

 

The AST3225 enclosure can be equipped with an 

optional

 locking mechanism 

(parts required: locking mechanism and locking mechanism gasket), which 
allows the Transfer Switch to be securely locked, and eliminate any form of 
tampering with the switch. The locking mechanism can mount on either one of 
the quarter turn door latches. The mounting procedure is as follows: 
1). Open the door of the enclosure. 
2). On the back of the enclosure door, remove the Philips head screw, which 
secures the quarter turn latch. 
3). Remove the quarter turn latch. 
4). From the front of the enclosure, remove the quarter turn insert, rubber 
gasket, and flat washer. 
5). Remove the lock nut located on the back of the enclosure door. 
6). On the back of the enclosure door, gently tap the quarter turn latch housing 
until it is free from the door. 

NOTE: carefully observe how the quarter turn 

latch housing is inserted in the door, as it has to be put back in the door in 
the exact same manner. 

7). Remove the quarter turn latch housing and the quarter turn latch housing 
rubber gasket. 
8).  Place the locking mechanism gasket over the hole in the enclosure door, 
and the locking mechanism over the gasket (the hasp on the locking 
mechanism would go closest to the edge of the enclosure). 
9). Repeat steps 2 through 7 in their reverse order.
