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.

are bolted together or to the wall.

STEP 4
Stop shimming when the locker is plumb and
level.
STEP 5
When the locker is correctly shimmed, break off
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.
