Flush Fitting

Recess Fitting (If Required)
- After fitting the bolt, position the keep plate. Mark its position and recess it into the frame.

Operating Instructions: Setting and Recoding the Combination
The bolt is factory set to 0000. To change the combination, follow these steps:
- Ensure the bolt is in the unlocked position (retracted).
- Locate the small security screw on the side of the bolt mechanism (refer to Figure 2). Remove this screw.
- Draw the bolt back to its stop position. Lift the bolt knob and draw it back to a second stop position. Push it down to lock it in this recoding position.
- Carefully rotate the coding wheels to your desired new number, aligning them with the coding mark. Make a note of your new code immediately.
- Without moving the wheels, reverse the procedure of step 3 to release the bolt from the recoding position.
- Replace the security screw.
Important: For external installations, always lock the bolt even in the open position. This prevents unauthorized recoding.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Squire Combi 4 locking bolt, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the lock body and wheels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: For optimal performance, especially in outdoor environments, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the bolt mechanism and combination wheels once or twice a year. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
- Inspection: Regularly check the mounting screws for tightness and the overall condition of the lock for any signs of wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Combi 4 locking bolt, try the following:
- Bolt not moving smoothly: Ensure the combination is correctly aligned. Clean the mechanism and apply a silicone lubricant as described in the maintenance section. Check for any obstructions.
- Difficulty setting/recoding combination: Ensure the security screw is fully removed and the bolt knob is correctly positioned in the second stop for recoding. Refer to the 'Operating Instructions' section.
- Forgotten combination: Unfortunately, if the combination is forgotten and not recorded, there is no master key or override function. The lock will need to be replaced. Always keep a secure record of your combination.
