1.2 The timelocks covered by these requirements may be automatic, manual, or both, in operation
depending upon their design. Automatic devices can be factory set to a fixed minimum time delay of 5

120 hours or more. Some designs may include both the automatic delay feature for interior robbery
protection and the manual delay feature for burglary protection.

A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specific requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard.
