5. Installation Guide (Setup)

Proper installation is crucial for the security and functionality of your cylinder lock. If you are unsure about any step, consult a professional locksmith.

5.1. Tools Required

• Screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on your door hardware)
• Measuring tape or ruler

5.2. Measuring Your Existing Cylinder

Before replacing a cylinder, accurately measure its dimensions. The M6503030L is a 30x30mm cylinder (total length 60mm). Ensure this matches your door's requirements.

1. Open the door and locate the fixing screw on the door edge, usually below the latch bolt.
2. Unscrew and remove this screw.
3. Insert your key into the cylinder and turn it slightly (about 15-20 degrees) in either direction.
4. While turning the key, gently pull the cylinder towards you. It should slide out once the cam is aligned with the cylinder body.
5. Measure the cylinder from the center of the fixing screw hole to each end (dimensions A and B as shown in Figure 4). The total length (L) is A + B.

5.3. Replacing the Cylinder

1. Ensure the new Tesa Assa Abloy M6503030L cylinder matches the required dimensions (30x30mm, short cam).
2. Insert one of the supplied keys into the new cylinder.
3. Turn the key slightly to align the cam with the cylinder body, allowing it to slide smoothly into the door's mortise lock.
4. Push the cylinder fully into the door, ensuring it is flush with both sides of the door.
5. Re-insert the fixing screw into the door edge and tighten it securely. Do not overtighten.
6. Test the lock from both sides with the key to ensure smooth operation before closing the door.

6. Operation

To operate your Tesa Assa Abloy M6503030L Safety Cylinder Lock:

• Insert the key fully into the keyway.
• Turn the key clockwise to lock the door or counter-clockwise to unlock it.
• Remove the key once the door is locked or unlocked.

Always use original Tesa Assa Abloy keys for optimal performance and security. Using non-original or damaged keys may impair the lock's function and security features.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your cylinder lock.

• Lubrication: Apply a specialized lock lubricant (e.g., Tesa lubricant as shown in Figure 3) into the keyway approximately once a year, or if the lock feels stiff. Do not use oil-based lubricants or graphite, as these can attract dirt and clog the mechanism.
• Cleaning: Keep the keyway free from dust and debris. You can use compressed air to clear any obstructions.
• Key Care: Store keys properly to prevent bending or damage. Avoid using keys for purposes other than operating the lock.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Tesa Assa Abloy M6503030L cylinder lock, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Key is difficult to insert or turn:
  • Ensure you are using an original, undamaged key.
  • Check for debris in the keyway. Use compressed air to clear.
  • Apply a suitable lock lubricant.
• Lock feels stiff or gritty:
  • The lock may require lubrication.
  • Internal components might be dirty. Professional cleaning may be needed.
• Cylinder cannot be removed:
  • Ensure the fixing screw is completely removed.
  • The key must be turned slightly (about 15-20 degrees) to align the cam with the cylinder body. Try turning the key in both directions while gently pulling.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact a qualified locksmith or Tesa Assa Abloy customer support.
