Description:

This course will certify the student to service, neutralize, and repair GSA approved security containers and vault doors as well as the locks used on them. The Department of Defense and other federal departments are moving toward making this certification a requirement for anyone performing most types of service on these containers, including maintenance, drilling and repair.

This two-week course begins with combination locks used on GSA containers including the latest electromechanical locks approved under FF-L-2740 (Kaba-Mas X-10 and S&G 2740B) and mechanical lock approved under FF-L-2937 (S&G 2937).  Lock extensions approved under FF-L-2890 are covered as well as GSA container identification, and proper servicing, drilling & repair.  The course also includes coverage of Federal Specifications for GSA approved containers, vault doors & locks and regulations concerning GSA containers and what are to be stored in them.

In addition to GSA certification as a technician, the course includes training and qualification as a GSA approved container and vault door inspector.  By becoming a GSA approved Inspector, the student will also be qualified to perform recertification inspections on GSA containers when there is any reason to doubt their security integrity. Both of these qualifications have been approved by GSA and are valuable credentials for anyone performing work on GSA Containers or vault doors.

The following is covered in detail:

  • Mechanical combination lock operation
  • S&G Model 2937 factory authorized training
  • S&G Model 2740B factory authorized training
