using a soft hammer to avoid damage to the housing.
Electromagnet and armature should be handled carefully.
Any damage to the surface such as paint, burrs, dirt and rust
may hinder bonding of surface and reduce holding power.
SHOULD THE SURFACE PLATING BE DAMAGED:
Do not touch the lock face with your hands.

manufactured by LPS Laboratories (available at most hardware stores)
can then be applied. Apply a coat of inhibitor to armature face also.
