This is the last revision of the last parts catalog published by S&G.

Sargent & Greenleaf Time Lock Booklet (1.4 MB)
An interesting 12-page booklet printed in 1973, most likely to help draw attention to the 6200 Series Time Lock, introduced in 1971. This represented S&G's re-entry into the time lock business.

Sargent & Greenleaf 8077 Padlock Recovery Instructions (2.6 MB)
Procedure to recover a padlock if the combination is lost AND the back cover is off AND the change key hole is open. Be advised that this procedure requires an 8077-044 reset (or recovery) key which S&G discontinued about 2005. You can make what you need by removing material from a standard 8077 change key (not a novice project). These instructions were written in 1992.

Sargent & Greenleaf 8065 Padlock Instructions (948 KB)
The model 8065 is a concealed shackle padlock closely related to the 8077. The printing date of the instructions is 1967, so this is probably the date of initial distribution. It was discontinued in 1976 following a significant industrial accident at the factory involving the lead casting process used to make x-ray resistant inserts for the padlock. Document scan provided by the incredible Andy Dennison (his words, not mine).

Sargent & Greenleaf 6705/6706 Sales Sheet,
Installation, and Operating Instructions (3.1 MB)
This interesting mechanical lock was only produced for a short time in the mid 1980s. Designed to be very inexpensive, it also suffered from poor dependability and questionable security.

Sargent & Greenleaf 6709/6710 Parts, Operating, and Changing Instructions (332 KB)
These two models of combination safe locks were used extensively on small fire safes. Discontinued in the mid 80s, S&G still gets several requests each year for parts and information. Parts are no longer available, but this document should provide a wealth of information.

Sargent & Greenleaf 0500 Series File Cabinet Lock (4.3 MB)
S&G discontinued its line of file cabinet locks in the early 90s. These pages from a 1967 service manual cover models, dimensions, and key cutting information. Be aware that some locks require a clearance cut on the bottom of the key blade tip. The clearance cut is not shown in this material, and is not necessary on early file cabinet locks.

Sargent & Greenleaf 6500 Series L.O.B.C Vault Lock Instructions (2.3 MB)
The L.O.B.C. (Locked On By Combination) vault lock requires the working combination to be dialed to a special index on the dial ring before the cover can be removed for servicing and combination changing. These instructions should apply to all L.O.B.C. vault locks manufactured since the early 50s. These pages were published in a 1967 service manual.

Sargent & Greenleaf T8400 and ET8400 Operating and Changing Instructions (1.7 MB)
The T8400 is the forerunner of the modern 8400 series 3-wheel Group 1 and Group 1R mechanical combination lock. The ET8400 series was the same lock, but with the addition of two switches that could report various lock conditions and activities to a remote monitoring station. These instructions are applicable to current production (as of 2010) 8400 series locks.

Sargent & Greenleaf C.L.O.C.K. (or PRIMA) Key Operated Safe Lock Brochure (1.4 MB)
The Combination Lock Operated by Changeable Key (C.L.O.C.K.) was later known as the PRIMA. The key could be changed in a matter of seconds. This brochure, produced for Europe, shows how to change keys. It was originally printed around 1985 in A4 format. I have converted it to U.S. letter size.

Sargent & Greenleaf SM181 Disassembly and Dimensional Information (1.3 MB)
The SM181 deadbolt is a simple, sturdy sliding bolt mechanism. This information is from a 1967 service manual, and it is still applicable to today's model. The dimensional information is also valid for the newer SM183, which has an integral key cylinder.

Sargent & Greenleaf 6870 (FAS) Key Operated Safe Lock (10.2 MB)
The 6870 is a nine-lever, key operated safe lock made by Swedish lock maker FAS for Sargent & Greenleaf. This 1994 article explains the lock and shows how to disassemble one that has no key so that the lock can be set to a new key. The article is also very helpful if you have a 6870 that somehow ended up as a bag of parts.

Sargent & Greenleaf 6280 Series Time Lock Description and Dimensions (7 MB)
This data sheet was used until the early 1990s as a combination sales/technical data sheet for the two-movement, small case time lock. Dimensions should still be applicable to current production (as of 2010).

This data sheet was used until the early 1990s as a combination sales/technical data sheet for the three-movement, standard full size time lock that can be equipped with three movements, or two movements and a filler block in the center movement space. Dimensions should still be applicable to current production (as of 2010).

Mesh Change Wheel Compensation (1.1 MB)
This one page guide was designed to help safe technicians more easily compensate for wear and misalignment of mesh change (hand change) wheels when setting combinations in locks that use this type of wheel. I created this in 1990, but it's based on earlier such publications from several other sources.
