Introduction
Your new nose and door puller kit contains all the essential
components normally used to effectively open most safe
deposit locks. Each component is designed to perform a specific function. When used correctly,
these tools will last a lifetime with a minimum of care or
service.
PDP-1000 Door Puller
The
PDP-1000 Door Puller is designed to open most safe deposit
doors that require this method of service. The design is unique
and not similar to those of other manufacture. Best results can only be achieved by a complete understanding
of the directions that follow. Refer to the
exploded view page of these directions for nomenclature. Each component has a
specific purpose. The
door puller anchor assembly is made up of a pair of jaws
(double jaw anchor assembly). These jaws are made from high carbon steel that has been heat
treated to RC-50. The
hub is responsible for securing and aligning the pair of
jaws. The
radiused obturator is made from high carbon steel that is
heat treated to RC60. This
component is responsible for opening and closing the jaws. The ball bearing is
410 stainless and acts as the primary, semi-frictionless bearing
of the obturator. The
threaded shaft is high carbon steel that is heat treated to
RC-42. This
shaft has a slotted head provided for ease of rotation. The hand nut secures
the entire assembly against the rail pad. The rail assembly
is made from a solid steel bar, machined to accommodate the
double jaw anchor assembly and it’s requisite components. The door pad is
injection molded from 33% glass reinforced nylon. The primary
functions of the door pad include proper spacing of the
puller components and protection of the door surface. The rail pad protects the plated upper surface of the rail
assembly. The
jack bolt pads protect the door surface from scaring and are
installed under the toggle pads of the jack bolts.
Service Notes
- End boxes can be pulled by using the rail
assembly vertically.
A vertical pull requires that both jack bolts are
tightened synchronously.
- End box doors
that are more than 5" high will require the use of
our accessory, 14" rail assembly.
- The
double jaw anchor is designed to hook under the lid of
the safe deposit lock.
If the levers preclude easy entry of these hooks,
compress the levers.
Compression is accomplished with a flat faced
punch and a hammer.
At the lock-in position for each hook, tap the
levers inward until the hook end of the jaws can capture
and seat against the lid of the lock.
-
On hollow doors, always use the jack bolt pads
under each toggle pad.
These pads distribute the pulling force over a
larger area, preventing the toggle pads from denting of
caving in the hollow type safe deposit door.

Using
the PDP-1000 door Puller
-
Pull the key
plug in the usual manner.
-
Assemble the
double jaw anchor assembly following the provided
exploded view drawing.
-
Collapse the double jaws to their smallest size. Insert the jaw
assembly into the cavity created by pulling the key
plug. Seat
the jaws in such a manner as to allow one of the jaws to
align with the lock’s bolt. Ascertain that
the jaws are seated under the lip of the safe deposit
lock’s lid. Expand
the jaws by rotating the threaded shaft. Do not
over-tighten this shaft.
A snug fit is normally all that is required.
-
Slip the door pad over the top of the threaded
shaft. Align
the door pad so that no portion of the pad extends
beyond the edge of the door and central to the cavity of
the extracted key plug.
-
Thread both
jack bolts into the rail assembly, allowing them to
extend 1" below the bottom surface of the rail
assembly. Screw
on the toggle pads.
Position the rail assembly horizontally across
the door pad, allowing the double jaw anchor assembly to
protrude through the slot in the rail assembly. Install the rail pad, concave side facing the top of the rail
assembly. Install
and loosely tighten the hand nut.
-
Re-align all components ascertaining that one of
the jack bolts and toggle pads is positioned on an
adjacent door. Level
both jack bolts equally and assure perpendicularity.
-
Hand tighten
the hand nut.
-
Using a 3/16" Allen Wrench, begin to tighten
down on the jack bolt that is positioned on an adjacent
door. Note:
angularity will increase as this jack bolt is tightened. Do not tighten
the second jack bolt.
The second jack bolt is used to stabilize the
setup.
-
Tighten the primary jack bolt until audible and
visual evidence reveals that the lock’s bolt has
broken out the back-side of the lock case.
-
Do not tighten the primary jack bolt beyond the
point of where the lock bolt breaks. Finish opening
the door by gently prying the door open with a small,
flat pry bar.
