How the pin blanking system works

 
In Multi-Locks, unused padlock positions are blanked out during installation by the insertion of the supplied stainless padlock blanking bolt into the pre-tapped hole in the padlock pin.

The lock to the left has three padlock pins blanked.

To remove the blank at a later date and add a new user the following procedure is adopted:

     
 
Firstly, the blank cover is removed.

By default this requires the removal of the screws. To continue any further, an authorised user must first have removed their padlock and pin. This last requirement is essential and excludes the removal of the blank by unauthorised individuals.
     
 

With a users padlock and pin removed the blanked padlock pins are free to slide laterally.

This allows one of the blanked pins to be aligned with the blank removal hole. The padlock pin blank can now be extracted using the supplied allen-Key.

The cover should now be replaced.
