Keri Systems PXL-500
| Another job done by Bill's Lock, Safe & Security at the Plainfield Public Library in Plainfield, New Jersey 07060 was the installation of a glass and aluminum door and including it in our already existing access control system. An 8’-9” high x 46” wide x 1 ¾” thick wood door covered in white formica was originally installed when the library was built in the late 1960’s. Bill’s Lock, Safe & Security removed the door and supplied and installed this 7’-0” high x 46” x 1 ¾” thick glass and aluminum door. We utilized the original Rixson floor check and arm. The new aluminum tube header was supplied with the correct Rixson walking beam top pivot. We were then able to install the door. To make use of the Keri Systems access control system, we added a Keri Systems PXL-500 reader controller with a Keri Systems MS-3000X proximity reader on the aluminum mullion to unlock the Corbin/Russwin ML2200 ECL series electrically controlled mortise lockset. The final piece to this setup was the custom fabricated stainless steel strike plate to replace the small “odd-sized” one left from the previous Corbin UT 5200 series unit lock. |

Sargent & Greenleaf 6730
| At a tire and auto center on Westfield Avenue in Roselle Park NJ 07204, Bill’s Lock, Safe & Security was called upon to repair an old Mosler safe. The safe had a long discontinued Mosler B-6 lock which, as you can see from the wheel post , was seriously worn. The wheel post shown in the photo should be smooth and of a single diameter. You can plainly see the wear from the three wheels that revolve around that post. Since there is so much wear, the wheels do not stay on the numbers to which they were set. |

| The problem now is the “footprint” of the lock. You can see the difference in the size of the locks and where the bolts are located. Since the Mosler mounting plate is very thin and welded to a hardened, drill resistant plate, we were forced to make our own mounting plate and weld it to the Mosler plate. This covered the old spindle hole on the inside and we then used carbide drill bits to make a spindle hole for the new lock. We used an epoxy liner to prevent the fireproof material from the hole from leaking into the lock case. |

The new Sargent & Greenleaf 6730 Group 2 combination lock is now in place on the new mount. A custom fabricated relock hold back or strap was made from stainless steel. The original holdback was part of the lock mount. Originally, the back of the Mosler wheel pack stuck through the back cover. The back cover of the safe door was cut to accept the new S&G 6730 combination lock with stainless steel relock strap. The Mosler safe now has a new Sargent & Greenleaf combination lock with black spyproof dial and ring. |

We took these from the West Conshohocken office, drove to Plymouth Meeting and installed them there. |

Children’s Library |
| Bill’s Lock, Safe & Security fabricated and installed a visually attractive and secure entrance door. There were two 8’-9” x 35” wide panes of glass with an aluminum tube between them in an entire glass wall. The glass company removed the glass and cut away the aluminum tube. Bill’s Lock, Safe & Security then supplied and installed a National Guard Products threshold. We cleaned up the cut tube and installed 2 Roton 780-224 HD full mortise continuous geared hinges in clear aluminum finish. We then installed the doors which we had made at Alberti Woodworking of Union NJ 07083 http://www.albertiwoodworking.com |

Next we supplied and installed an aluminum 4” x 1 ¾” tube header. Above the header we supplied and installed ¼” thick aluminum which we held in place with miter-cut pieces of 1 ¾” x 1 ¾” x 1/8” clear anodized aluminum angle. Finally, after installing the Corbin mortise bolt lock, handles and push plates, we finished by installing two LCN 1461 door closers with hold open arms. |
