S&G 2740B Mounted Electromechanical Combination Lock

The Sargent & Greenleaf Model 2740B electromechanical combination lock has been approved under Federal Specification FF-L-2740B, Locks, Combination, Electromechanical.  The S&G Model 2740B lock is available from the DLA Land and Maritime and GSA Advantage.  Click on the Ordering Information tab for information on how to procure this lock. 

The two main differences between the S&G Model 2740B lock and its predecessor are that the S&G Model 2740B lock does not use a setup module, and you only have to make one revolution between each number when dialing the combination.  There is a "111" sticker on the lock to remind users.  The dialing sequence of the S&G Model 2740B lock is left-right-left-right, however, the dial can be rotated more than one revolution for entry of any combination number in case you overshoot the desired number.

You can visit Sargent & Greenleaf's Model 2740B web page for more information about this lock.  When properly disposing of this lock, it shall be sent to the DoD Lock Program, see our Combination Lock Support page for disposal instructions.

S&G 2740 Mounted Combination Lock   

The Sargent & Greenleaf Model 2740 electromechanical combination lock was approved under Federal Specification FF-L-2740A, Locks, Combination, Electromechanical.  This lock was also known as the "Model S&G 2740A" lock.  The S&G Model 2740 was only available through a Sargent & Greenleaf distributor, and never was available from DLA or GSA Advantage.  This section is presented only for technical support purposes.  When disposing of this lock, it can be sent to the DoD Lock Program, see our Combination Lock Support page for disposal instructions.

Operation of the S&G Model 2740 lock is much like the operation of their S&G 2937 mechnical lock.  The dialing sequence is left-right-left-right, with at least four complete revolutions to the first number, stopping on the third rotation on the second number, and stopping the second rotation on the third number.  However, unlike the mechanical lock, the dial can be rotated more than the minimum number of rotations for entry of any combination number in case you overshoot the desired combination number.

A setup module is used to calibrate, program, and troubleshoot the S&G 2740.  Only a properly trained technician should connect a setup module to your lock.  A single module may be used on any number of locks.
