Stop Spring and Security Spring

The Glenview Security System features two patented components which are important to the efficient operation and the high level of security for which the system is recognized.

The Stop Spring (Figure 1) is permanently mounted to the unit and keeps the mechanism open during the coin-emptying process. After coin bag is empty, simply push the spring on the words "DEPRESS HERE" which are embossed on the top of the spring. The mechanism can now be closed. The action of closing the mechanism also resets the system's security mechanism.

The Security Spring
(Figure 1) is the heart of the Glenview Security System. It is a replaceable flat spring that provides evidence of the security mechanism being forcibly opened or tempered with. The Security Spring is designed to snap (Figure 2) at a scored line in the event of any forced entry. Under these circumstances, the broken end of the spring will be seen detached. Also, the broken spring will prevent the mechanism from closing properly.

A snapped spring can be replaced easily with a special tool (Part No. 015700) available from Glenview Systems, Inc. Replacement of the Security Spring (Part No.027210) is shown below. IMPORTANT: The cause of the broken spring should be determined before replacing spring. Under normal operation a Security Spring should NEVER break.

B) Grasp pliers firmly and pull snapped spring
