AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD

An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and

provisions. An American National Standard is intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer and

the general public. The existence of an American National Standard does not in any respect preclude anyone,

whether he has approved the standard or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products,

processes, or procedures not conforming to the standard. American National Standards are subject to periodic

review and users are cautioned to obtain the latest editions.

CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The

procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or

withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of publication. Purchasers of American National

Standards may receive the current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National

Standards Institute.

The Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association, Inc. first published the basic material in this standard

February 1971. It was entitled Standard 501 BHMA Product Standards Section E, Auxiliary Locks. ANSI

approval was secured under the Canvass Method, leading to the publication of ANSI/BHMA A156.5, which

included both cylinders and auxiliary locks. BHMA was accredited on 21 March 1983 by ANSI as a sponsor

using the Canvass Method. In 2010, BHMA published updates of A156.5 being dedicated to cylinders, and a

new A156.36 for auxiliary locks.

FOREWORD (This Foreword is not a part of ANSI/BHMA A156.36)

The general classification of builders hardware includes a wide variety of items which are divided into several

categories. To recognize this diversity, a sectional classification system has been established. Auxiliary Locks

and Latches is one such section and this Standard is the result of the collective efforts of members of the

Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association, Inc. who manufacture this product. The total Product Standards

effort is, therefore, a collection of sections, each covering a specific category of items.

Performance tests, and, where necessary, dimensional requirements, have been established to ensure safety,

security and stability to which the public is entitled. There are no restrictions on design, except for those

dimensional requirements imposed for the reasons given above. It is also required that locks fit certain cutout

dimensions.

This Standard is not intended to obstruct, but rather to encourage, the development of improved products,

methods, and materials. The BHMA recognizes that errors will be found, items will become obsolete, and new

products, methods, and materials will be developed. With this in mind, the Association plans to update, correct,

and revise these Standards on a regular basis. It shall also be the responsibility of manufacturers to request such

appropriate revisions.

In most cases, products have been described in grade levels related to performance and security. Choice of

grade and specific product is made on the basis of utility, aesthetics, security objectives and end use desired.

The BHMA numbers, which indicate types of hardware do not identify grade, finish, or design and are not

intended to be used without necessary supplementary information. Individual manufacturers' catalogs are

consulted.

Users of this Standard consult applicable local building codes as to requirements affecting the functions of locks

used on fire doors and doors within a means of egress. Some communities require the use of exterior door locks

having a dead bolt with a 1 in. (25.4 mm) projection for the purpose of providing greater security. Only

functions compatible with the requirements of the applicable building codes are used.

Most of the products in this Standard were covered in ANSI/BHMA A156.5 for Auxiliary Locks through the

2001 edition. Section E determined in 2005, due to the increasing variety and complexity of products, it

would be preferable to create two standards, and dedicate A156.5 to Cylinders, resulting in the first edition of

this Standard.

1. SCOPE

1.1 ANSI/BHMA A156.36 establishes requirements for Auxiliary Locks, and includes dimensional

criteria and five classifications of tests: operational, cycle, strength, security and, finish . This Standard

was formerly part of ANSI/BHMA A156.5 for Auxiliary Locks and Associated Products.

1.2 Tests described in this Standard are performed under laboratory conditions. In actual usage, results

vary because of installation, maintenance and environmental conditions.

1.3 Grade Qualifications Manufacturers shall indicate the Grade level to which their product is

certified. Products shall meet all Grade requirements for tests listed in 1.1. , A Grade 1 product shall meet

all Grade 1 criteria, a Grade 2 product shall meet all Grade 2 criteria, and a Grade 3 product shall meet all

3. GENERAL

3.1 Cylinders and Input Devices for Locks shall meet the performance requirements for the

appropriate types and grade level found in the ANSI/BHMA Standard A156.5-2010 for Cylinders and

Input Devices for the lock to retain its grade listing. Assemblies take the grade level of the lowest graded

component.

3.2 No lock can provide complete security by itself. Locks may be defeated by forcible or technical

means, or evaded by entry elsewhere on the property. No lock can substitute for caution, awareness of

your environment, and common sense. Builders hardware is available in multiple performance grades to

suit the application. In order to enhance security and reduce risk, consult a qualified locksmith or other

security professional. For applications where pick resistance and other higher security protections are

required users should consider locks meeting UL 437 or ANSI/BHMA A156.30 for High Security

Cylinders.

3.3 Tolerances Where only minus tolerances are given, the dimensions are permitted to be exceeded at

the option of the manufacturers. All values which do not carry specific tolerances or are not marked

maximum or minimum shall have the following tolerances: Linear dimensions shall be ± 1/16 in (1.6

mm). Pounds or pound force shall be ± 2%. Degrees shall be ± 2 degrees.

3.4 Door and Frame Preparation The lock models described in this standard shall fit the door and

frame preparations described in the ANSI/BHMA A156.115 Series. Other configurations are permitted to

fit special opening templating requirements. See manufacturers’ instructions for details.

3.5 Trim Roses, escutcheons, knobs, levers, turns, paddles, cylinder guards shall cover all door

preparation openings.

3.6 Reference to other Standards Referenced standards are available from

www.buildershardware.com, www.ansi.org, www.astm.org, and www.ul.com.

3.7 Values Required values in this Standard are given in US units. The SI (metric) equivalents are

approximate.

3.8 Codes Certain lock functions described in this Standard are not permitted on doors within a means

of egress. Consult local Authority Having Jurisdiction. When locks and latches are used in fire door

assemblies, they shall be listed for use in fire doors by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory

(NRTL) and shall be under an in-plant follow-up inspection service.

3.9 When any function of lock combines a dead bolt and auxiliary dead latch, the auxiliary dead latch

shall be effective whether or not the dead bolt is projected.

APPENDIX A USER'S GUIDE (NOT A PART OF ANSI/BHMA A156.36)

A-1 FUNCTIONS AND GRADE LEVELS OF LOCKS

A-1.1 Dead bolt locks are usually the most secure. Those wishing a relatively high level of

security specify Grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 is generally adequate in areas where the threat is an attack

of opportunity and where the attack is expected to be of short duration.

A-2 TRIM

A-2.1 Because of the security tests imposed, there are no material requirements in this

Standard. If trim of minimum thickness or a specific material is wanted, so specify. Materials

most commonly used are aluminum, brass, bronze, 300 Series stainless steel and zinc alloy.

A-2.2 If specific trim designs are desired, so specify.

A-4 DOORS AND FRAMES

The provisions of this Standard evaluate locks as a component and do not take under

consideration the variety of doors, frames and other components available, some of which are

vulnerable under the kinds of attacks described. Select doors, frames and surrounding wall

systems compatible with the level of lock security selected.

A-5 FASTENERS

Where lock strikes are applied to wood frames under 1 inch (25.4 mm) thick, screws normally

furnished are sometimes inadequate. Specify screws of sufficient length to engage the structural

stud behind the frame.

A-6 FINISHES

See ANSI/BHMA Standard A156.18 for Materials and Finishes for a description of the finishes.

Other available finishes are found in individual manufacturer's catalogs.

MOUNTING BLOCKS FOR TESTING

For consistent test results, the following mounting block material specifications are

recommended:

• Euro Birch, Yellow Birch or Baltic Birch is the preferred type of plywood because of the

tight control on voids and other imperfections.

• Three pieces are bonded together with alternating ply, PVA glue and a cold press method.

• The resulting block has 33-ply, consisting of two ½” outer sections with 10-ply and one ¾”

center section with 13-ply.

• FAS Grade Clear Maple.

31

A-8 CONFORMANCE CRITERIA

Certification that products offered meet the requirements of this Standard and conform to

individual manufacturer's drawings, specifications, standards and quality assurance practices are

available and in some circumstances are required. Buyer requirements determine the need for

proof of conformance such as first article inspection,

test laboratory reports, or listings. Specifiers requiring assertions of conformance utilize

statements of conformance by individual manufacturers, or test reports acceptable to the buyer.

A-9 PRESERVATION, PACKAGING AND PACKING

Unless other arrangements between buyer and seller are made, preservation, packaging and

packing shall be sufficient to protect containers and their contents under normal shipping and

handling conditions from the source of supply to the destination point.

A-10 MARKING

Unless other arrangements between buyer and seller are made, marking shall be in accordance

with the individual manufacturer's standard practice.

A-11 PRELOADED DOOR TESTS

The previous editions of the Preloaded Door Test based the maximum torque on an equation to

allowed a mechanical advantage with an increasing keybow width and turn length. In the 2009

edition of A156.5 for Cylinders, revised concurrently with this standard, cylinders are now

evaluated independently of their mating products; similarly, the testing of auxiliary locks is

expected to be a fair prediction of performance no matter which cylinder or turn is selected.

Rather than allowing the use of oversize keys or turns to pass the tests, the new torque values in

this standard are constant based on a typical keybow of 1.1 inches, and a turn length of 1 3/16

inches (with a .250 inch wall thickness) as specified by the standard. The preloaded door weights

(50 and 30 lbf.) are selected for laboratory evaluation to ensure product performance, but are not

considered to be acceptable installation conditions.
