Designation:F157705(Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Methods forDetention Locks for Swinging Doors1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1577;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 These test methods cover the apparatus,procedures,andacceptance conditions for evaluating the normal operationalperformance and the performance characteristics under assaultconditions of locks used in swinging door assemblies indetention and correctional institutions.Thus,they give only anindication of the performance characteristics of locks in actualservice.Such variables as installation and maintenance condi-tions are not considered.1.2 It is the intent of these test methods to help ensure thatdetention locks perform at or above minimum acceptable levelsto control passage to unauthorized or secure areas,to confineinmates,and to delay and frustrate escape attempts and resistvandalism.It is recognized that in order to meet the intent ofthese test methods,door and frame assemblies must becompatible with the level of performance required by TestMethods F1450.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The values in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E152 Test Method for Fire Tests Of Door Assemblies(With-drawn 1995)3F1450 Test Methods for Hollow Metal Swinging DoorAssemblies for Detention and Correctional FacilitiesF1592 Test Methods for Detention Hollow Metal VisionSystemsF1643 Test Methods for Detention Sliding Door LockingDevice AssemblyF1758 Test Methods for Detention Hinges Used onDetention-Grade Swinging DoorsF1915 Test Methods for Glazing for Detention Facilities2.2 ANSI Standard:4ANSI A156.5 Auxiliary Locks and Associated Products2.3 UL Standards:5UL-437 Standard for Key LocksUL-1034 Standard for Burglary Resistant Electric LockingMechanisms3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Bolts:3.1.1.1 bolt projections,ndistance the lock bolt extendsfrom the lock case measured with the lock bolt in an extendedposition.3.1.1.2 dead bolt,nlock component having an end thatprotrudes from or is withdrawn into the lock front by action ofthe lock mechanism by rotating the key or thumb turn.Whenthe door is closed and the dead bolt is thrown,it extends intoa hole provided in the strike,locking the door,and will notreturn with end pressure.3.1.1.3 deadlocking latch bolt,adjcomponent that,whenactuated,automatically locks the projected latch bolt againstreturn by end pressure.Also referred to as an auxiliary latchbolt or roller bolt.3.1.1.4 latch bolt,nlock component having a beveled endthat projects from the lock front in its extended position butmay be forced back into the lock case by end pressure ordrawing back by action of the lock mechanism.When the dooris closed,the latch bolt projects into a hole provided in thestrike,holding the door in a closed position.Sometimesreferred to as a snapbolt.3.1.2 bolt throw,ndistance the lock bolt travels from aretracted to a fully extended position.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F33 onDetention and Correctional Facilities and are the direct responsibility of Subcom-mittee F33.04 on Detention Hardware.Current edition approved June 1,2012.Published August 2012.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2005 as F1577 05.DOI:10.1520/F1577-05R12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036.5Available from Underwriters Laboratories(UL),Corporate Progress,333Pfingsten Rd.,Northbrook,IL 60062.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.1.3 cylinder,nsubassembly of a lock containing a plugwith a key slot and tumbler mechanism.3.1.3.1 builders hardware cylinder,adjkey cylinder ofsimilar design to the mogul cylinder except smaller(1532in.(40 mm)in diameter),with keys and internal parts at least halfthe size of mogul cylinders.Also known as commercialcylinders and mortise cylinders.See ANSI A156.5,6.9.3.1.3.2 mogul cylinder,adjpin tumbler cylinder approxi-mately 2 in.(51 mm)in diameter,2 in.long.3.1.3.3 mogul ke
