ANSI BHMA A156.13-2017 pdf free download – AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR MORTISE LOCKS & LATCHES SERIES 1000.
1. sCOPE
1.1 This Standard establishes performance requirements for Mortise Locks and Latches and includesoperational, cycle, strength, material evaluation, security, and finish tests，and dimensional criteria.
1.2 Tests described in this Standard are performed under laboratory conditions. In actual usage, resultsmay vary because of installation, maintenance,and environmental conditions.
1.4 Grade Qualifications
1.4.1 Two classifications of Grades are described in this Standard.Manufacturers shall indicateseparately,for both an Operational Grade and a Security Grade level of mortise locks and latches. Theminimum acceptable grade level for Operational and Security grades shall be a grade 3.
1.4.1.1 Operational Grades shall meet the requirements of Sections 8,9,10, 1 1 and 13.
1.4.1.2 Security Grades shall meet the requirements of Section 12.
1.4.2 Any function shall be tested for qualification under Operational Grades and all other functionsshall be considered as meeting the criteria provided the lock case and operating parts are of the sameconstruction as that of the lock previously tested.
1.4.3 Function F21 or a similar function with dead bolts and function F04 or a similar function withoutdead bolts to be certified shall be tested with the trim for qualification under Security Grades.All otherfunctions where access is prevented shall be considered as meeting the criteria provided the lock case andoperating parts are of the same construction as that of the lock previously tested.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.1 Armored Strike A strike reinforced in such a way as to strengthen the frame to which it is applied.
2.2 Auxiliary Lock A lock having a latch bolt or dead bolt operated by a key, paddle andor turn, andusually used in addition to a primary lock or latching device.
2.3 Backset The distance from the edge of the door measured at the centerline of the door thickness tothe centerline of the function holes or cross bore.
2.4 Bitting 1. the number(s) which represent(s) the dimensions of the key，2. the actual cut(s) orcombination of a key
2.5 Biometric Readers Optical, Capacitive, Sound Energy，And Heat Sensitive Readers for decodingunique biometric features, including fingerprints, eye, facial, or speech recognition.
2.6 Bolts
2.6.1 Auxiliary Dead Latch A plunger which,when actuated, automatically locks a projectedlatch bolt against return by end pressure.
2.6.2 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 is closed and the dead bolt thrown, itextends into a hole provided in the strike, locks the door, and does not retract with end pressure.
2.6.3 Latch Bolt A lock component having a beveled end which projects from the lock front in
an extended position, but is forced back into the lock case by end pressure or drawn back by action of thelock mechanism. When the door is closed, the latch bolt projects into a hole provided in the strike, andholds the door in a closed position.
2.6.4 Deadlocking Latch Bolt A spring actuated latch bolt with a beveled end and
incorporating a plunger which, when depressed, automatically locks the projected latch bolt against returnby end pressure. Also called dead latch.
2.6.5 Expanding or Interlocking Type Dead Bolt A bolt which interlocks with its strike
when fully engaged.
2.6.6 Deadlocking Latch Bolt Plunger A component of the latch bolt which, when actuated,
automatically locks a projected latch bolt against return by end pressure.
2.7 Bored Lock Series 4000 A lock installed in a round bored opening in the edge and face of a door.2.8 Cam l. a lock or cylinder component which transfers the rotational motion of a key or cylinder plugto the bolt works of a lock，2. the bolt of a cam lock.
2.9 Card Readers Insertion or swipe credit-card readers decode magnetic stripes and smart cards(memory cards and chip cards).
2.10 Case The housing of a lock.
2.11 Contact Memory Readers Electrical contact readers decode embedded EEROM chips and “touchmemory” modules.
2.12 Credential A key，keycard, electronic key fob, PlN(personal identification number), biometricattribute, or other device,used in contact or proximity of the input device to transfer a code required forunlocking the locking device, or communicating with it for other access control purposes.
2.13 CylinderThe subassembly of a mechanical lock containing a plug with keyway and a body withmovable detainers.
2.14 Cylinder BodyThe portion of a cylinder that surrounds the plug and contains the tumblermechanism. The cylinder body is sometimes called a cylinder shell.
2.15 Cylinder Guard That portion that surrounds the otherwise exposed portion of a cylinder to protectthe cylinder from wrenching, cutting, pulling or prying.
2.16 Cylinder Housing The portion of a mechanical lock that surrounds and retains the cylinder body.lt is often part of a lock itself.ANSI BHMA A156.13 pdf download.
