SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Project: Exterior Cipher Locks & Exit Hardware Retrofit Location: Schofield Barracks, Building 768, Hawaii User Agency: 125th Intelligence & Electronic Warfare Battalion (125th IEW BN) Coordination Authority: Schofield Barracks Directorate of Public Works (DPW) / Facility Management

1. Project Background & Objective The 125th Intelligence & Electronic Warfare Battalion (125th IEW BN) requires an upgrade of exterior and egress locking hardware at Building 768, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.

The primary objective of this contract is the removal of obsolete hardware and the installation of Department of Defense (DoD) approved, standalone electronic pushbutton cipher locks, heavy-duty vertical rod panic exit hardware, high-security Small Format Interchangeable Cores (SFIC), and specialized conversion trim for standard and bullet-resistant door assemblies.

All installations must be performed by GSA-certified lock technicians to satisfy DoD physical security requirements and fire/life-safety egress regulations.

3. Salient Characteristics All equipment provided must meet or exceed federal and military physical security criteria:

4. Quality Assurance & Key Custody

4.1 Certified Labor & Quality Assurance

GSA Certification: All lock installations, core pinning, and exit device alignments must be executed by certified technicians qualified to handle GSA-approved and DoD-compliant locking systems.

Surface Preparation & Dressing: Standard and bullet-resistant doors must be retrofitted using the custom conversion dress plates to conceal prior preparations, ensure structural integrity, and maintain ballistic resistance.

Vertical Rod Adjustment: The Contractor shall install, tune, and test the 20 BEST-Precision 2200 vertical rod assemblies to guarantee smooth top and bottom latching without binding or drag. Comment by Kim, Eric K SFC USARMY 413 CONTR SPT BDE (USA): Is it brand name? if so, please change to some thing like “ The Contractor shall install, adjust, and test all required heavy-duty exit-device and vertical latching components to ensure smooth operation, positive latching, and free egress without binding or drag. “

4.2 Key Control & DPW Custodial Turnover

SFIC Master Override Keys: Exactly three (3) master override keys stamped sequentially "1", "2", and "3" and inscribed with "US Property, Do Not Duplicate" shall be generated.

SFIC Control Keys: Exactly two (2) core removal/control keys inscribed with "US Property, Do Not Duplicate" shall be generated.

Direct Handover Protocol: In compliance with military installation regulations, the Contractor shall turn over all master override keys and control keys directly to the Schofield Barracks Directorate of Public Works (DPW). The 125th IEW BN designated key control officer will sign out keys through DPW channels.

5. Technical Installation Instructions Phase 1: Site Preparation & Demolition Conduct an opening-by-opening audit against the Door Hardware Matrix to confirm door hand, stile width, and ballistic rating.

Remove all existing, obsolete locks, mortise cartridges, panic hardware, and vertical locking bars without damaging underlying structural frames.

Clean, deburr, and prepare all door preps. Apply rust-inhibiting primer to any bare cutouts to guard against tropical marine corrosion.

Phase 2: Plate Retrofit & Lockset Installation Standard Hollow Metal Doors: Fit standard conversion dress plates over existing cutout footprints on both interior and exterior faces. Secure through-bolts to manufacturer specifications to ensure rigid seating without deforming the door skins.

Bullet-Resistant Doors (9 Openings):

Align custom heavy-gauge bullet-resistant conversion plates over door preps, ensuring a minimum 1.25-inch perimeter overlap of existing penetrations.

Secure plates using high-strength tamper-resistant fasteners to maintain ballistic integrity.

Install custom-machined extended key override tailpieces into the cylinder assembly to guarantee full cylinder throw depth across the reinforced door core.

Mount the DoD-approved 10-PIN cipher locksets (PowerStar self-powered units on exit device doors; mortise locksets on interior controlled doors). Comment by Kim, Eric K SFC USARMY 413 CONTR SPT BDE (USA): Remove model name Phase 3: Vertical Rod Panic Device Installation & Synchronization Mount the heavy-duty vertical rod panic bar chassis at standard finish height (40-5/16" centerline AFF).

Install top Pullman latch and bottom vertical locking rod bolt.

Adjust top and bottom rod linkages simultaneously to ensure synchronized release upon push-bar depression.

Verify bottom rod bolt maintains at least 3/16" floor/threshold clearance during opening motion to eliminate floor strike dragging.

Phase 4: SFIC Core Pinning & DPW Turnover Pin 7-pin SFIC cores to master specifications.

Verify mechanical stamping: Master keys sequentially stamped "1", "2", "3" with "US Property, Do Not Duplicate"; Control keys stamped "US Property, Do Not Duplicate".

Insert pinned cores into locksets using the designated Control Key and verify positive locking cam engagement.

Deliver master override keys and control keys directly to the Schofield Barracks DPW Key Control Facility under DA Form 5513 custody receipt.

6. Testing, Inspection, and Acceptance

Single-motion free egress via all vertical rod exit devices (NFPA 101 / Life Safety compliance).

Smooth operation of the extended tailpiece override on all bullet-resistant doors using the authorized override keys.

Clean handover of site debris, removed hardware, and manufacturer manuals.
