      Figure 2. Removing the existing door latch
   3. Remove the bracket (5).
   4. From the outside of the door, remove the door latch (6).
   Note: If the rack is equipped with the ruggedized kit, remove the jam nut and hex nut from the existing door latch and reinstall both nuts on the new door lock latch.
4. Install the locking latch.
   1. Insert the keyed rack lock into the latch slot on the front of the door (6) in Figure 2.
   2. Secure the lock by attaching the lock bracket (5) with the screw (4), on the inside of the door.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to install the second lock on the back rack door.
6. Install a security slide bar on the right side of the rack.
   Note: Each slide bar rail has two long tabs on the bottom of the rail. The slide bar rails are identical and can be installed on either the right or left side cover panel.
   1. Unlatch right-side cover panel and lean the panel back so that you can access the top of the panel.
   2. With the flat side of the slide bar rail (7) in Figure 3, facing the inside of the cover panel (8), insert the two tabs (9), on the slide bar rail into the two vertical support channels (10) on the side cover panel.
      Note: When installed correctly, the slide rail moves from front to back.

   3. Reinstall the side panel cover on to the rack.
   4. Lock the side panel covers by sliding the bars to the front of the rack.
   5. Place a locked/unlocked sticker on the inside of the cover panel so that when the slide bar is in the locked position, the tab is over the locked symbol (11), as shown in Figure 4, and over the unlocked symbol (12), when the slide bar is unlocked.
