Black or brown cams seem to be found on 6741 model locks.
Tried looking at Sargent Greenleaf parts catalog to find different cams and cam numbers.?
Didn't succeed.
So now we have the:
Narrow cam (original)
Wide cam (Due to flat area at bottom of drop in)
Brown cam (color)
The contact points on the wide cam start outside of the Forbidden zone.?
Have been wondering if the Forbidden zone should be adjusted? Or if it is needed.?
I'm starting to think the large flat spot on the "wide cam" allows the nose of the lever to slide under the lever stop, whereby nullifying the need for a forbidden zone.(Prevents Lever Lock)
Which would allow you full range of possible combinations.?
The numbers on the label(6730) in many cases include a Dash then another number or letter.(i.e) 6730-A or 6730-135.
Perhaps the information after the lock model # is the Cam style?
Used to think it was the Dial type and Dial ring style. This does not appear to hold true.
Any ideas, on where I could find out more information about cams is appreciated.
Thanks
