Section 3 - 12Key Cutting & PinningPeaks conventional cylinders are designed to be top loaded. Install a patent bottom pin, small end down, andpatent top pin, turned end down, in the patent chamber immediately next to the plug face. In the A2 system anumber 7 top pin should be seated above the patent top pin. In A4 use a number 4 top pin above the patenttop pin.Pin stacksConsult the charts on pages 3-18 and 3-21 for the correct pins. TheUniversal 5400-xx-1099 and the 5400-xx-1095 key-in-knob cylinderhave large diameter plugs and require longer bottom pins and the6140-00-3004 patent bottom pin. All conventional cylinders use thesame top pins. Observe the specified pin stack heights. After loadingthe pins install a 3800-00-4010 stainless steel tumbler spring ineach chamber.StakingPlace the cylinder in the correct cavity of the 3400-00-4000 stakingfixture. Set the correct curved spring cover in place over the springsand hold it down with the staking tool.Using a plastic or rawhide mallet, flatten the spring cover betweenthe flanges. Do not strike the bible flanges on key-in-knob cylinders.Bending or breaking the flanges breaks the patented hard coat onthe shells and can lead to corrosion.The chrome key-in-knob cylinder shell requires a staking tool andnew curved spring cover, 3425-00-2000. Older staking tools had athick blade. The blade must be narrowed to 0.125" to fit between thebible flanges.• Work on a firm bench surface.• Strike tools gently with a plastic or rawhide mallet.• Do not use excessive force.These are the tools required for conventional cylinders:Do not strikebible flangesFlatten thespring coverbetween them.The 3400-00-4002 key-in-knobstaking tool and flat spring coversare discontinued.
