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.
