12.SECURITY TESTS
12.1 Failure Criteria Failure consists of any damage to the lock mechanism, deadbolt, latchbolt, strikeor fastener component that allows the door to be opened at the appropriate test level.Locksets shall betested in the locked position.The lock shall not be operated from the inside during the tests. Wheremanipulation of the lock with a screwdriver is required, a maximum of five minutes testing time shall beallowed. The screwdriver shall be a commercially available type with a blade not exceeding 6 in.(150mm) in length or 10 in.(250 mm) overall length. It is not intended that the screwdriver be used to attackthe lock mount or fixture or cause further damage to the lock. Applicable tests in 12.3 through 12.7 areallowed to be waived when shown as limited to Suffix“D” cylinders.
12.2 Cylinder Guard or Escutcheon Impact Test Prepare the test specimen in accordance withparagraph 8.6 and then lock the door or test panel in the closed position.Position the vertical impactor sothat the pendulum arm is horizontal when the striking weight contacts the top of the cylinder guard and itscenter of gravity is in the vertical centerline through the cylinder guard or escutcheon.Raise the impactorto 40 in.(1.0 m) above the top of the test specimen to deliver the required impact and release it. Deliverthe required number of impacts to the cylinder guard or escutcheon (grazing or nearly grazing themounting plate on the downswing).After each impact,manually attempt to withdraw the bolt from thestrike by end pressure, and by manipulating any exposed lock mechanism by hand or with a screwdriver.This test is applicable only when the cylinder or escutcheon or both project over 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) from thesurface of the door.
12.3 Cylinder Guard or Escutcheon Tension Test Does not apply to cylinders when test is attempted but can not be completed. Lock the door in a closed position blocking the load from the bolt/strike interface. Use a pulling attachment similar to that shown in 8.9 to apply the specified force behind the cylinder guard or escutcheon and pull perpendicular to the face of the door. Following the test, attempt to open the door by manipulating any exposed lock mechanism by use of a screwdriver. Manually test the bolt for end pressure resistance to assure that it is dead locked or dead latched.
12.4 Lock Body or Housing Tension Test Applicable to all rim and mortise cylinders. Lock the door in a closed position blocking the load from the bolt/strike interface. Perform the test using a fixture (8.11) or modified cylinder capable of delivering the required load and of the same interface configuration as an actual cylinder. Attach to a suitable tensile pulling device and apply the tension load specified. Following the test, attempt to open the door by manipulating any exposed lock mechanism by use of a screwdriver. Manually test the bolt for end pressure resistance to assure that it is dead locked or dead latched.
12.5 Lock Body or Housing Torque Test Applicable to all rim and mortise cylinders. Perform the test using a fixture (8.12) or modified cylinder capable of delivering the required load and of the same interface configuration as an actual cylinder. Apply specified torque rapidly once in each direction without stopping, using a suitable device. Following the test, attempt to open the door by manipulating any exposed lock mechanism by use of a screwdriver. Manually test the bolt for end pressure resistance to assure that it is dead locked or dead latched.ANSI BHMA A156.36 pdf download.
