ANSI/BHMA A156.11-2019 pdf free download.The title is Cabinet Locks.Here are some details of ANSI/BHMA A156.11-2019 pdf.
1. SCOPE
1.1 ANSI/BHMA A156.11-2019 establishes requirements for Cabinet Locks used on doors, drawers and furniture. Cycle tests, operational tests, strength tests and finish tests are included.
1 .2 Tests described in this Standard are performed under laboratory conditions. In actual usage, results vary because of the material used in the installation, maintenance and environmental conditions.
1.3 The intent of ANSI/BHMA A156.11-2019 is to provide fair, uniform and repeatable testing of cabinet locks. Each testing section of the standard identifies the tools and/or fixtures applicable to that particular test. We recognize that any cabinet lock can be compromised or destroyed by excessive force or extended time or by the use of custom designed tools or techniques. For cabinet locks to be used beyond the scope of this standard, we recommend the guidance of or consultation with an independent physical security specialist.
1.4 No lock can provide complete security by itself. Locks may be defeated by forcible or technical means, or evaded by entry elsewhere on the property. No Jock can substitute for caution, awareness of your environment, and common sense. Builders hardware is available in multiple performance grades to suit the application. In order to enhance security and reduce risk, consult a qualified locksmith or other security professional. For applications where pick resistance and other higher security protections are required users should consider Jocks meeting ANSI/UL 437 or ANSI/BHMA A 156.30 for High Security Cylinders.
1.5 Grade Qualifications Two classilIcations ol’ tests are described in this Standard, Operational and
Security. Manufacturers shall indicate the Grade level. A Grade 1 product shall meet all Grade 1 criteria,
a Grade 2 product shall meet all Grade 2 criteria, and a Grade 3 product shall meet all Grade 3 criteria in
each classification.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 Bolts
2.1.1 Dead Bolt A lock component having an end which protrudes from, or is withdrawn into, the lock front by action of the lock mechanism. When the door or drawer is closed and the dead bolt is thrown, it extends into a hole provided in the strike or if no strike is used, behind the frame, thus locking the door or drawer. It does not retract with end pressure.
2.1.2 Extension Bolt A type of dead bolt which projects laterally after entering the strike and interlocks with the strike.
2.1.3 Hook Bolt A type of dead bolt which after entering the strike expands and interlocks with the strike.
2.1.4 Latch Bolt A lock component having a beveled end which projects from the lock front in its extended position, is forced back into the lock case by end pressure or drawn back by action of the lock mechanism. When the door or drawer is closed, the latch bolt projects into a hole provided in the strike or if no strike is used, behind the frame, thus holding the door or drawer in the closed position.
