Rotary Lock Redistribution and Ordering Process
Rotary locks must be used to secure Registered Mail
and non-saleable stamp stock in transit, whether in
pouches, sacks, CON-CON containers, or LD-3 Dacon
containers. Under the Postal Service and FedEx CON-
CON Program, Registered Mail must be secured in a red
and blue CON-CON container using a rotary/registry lock.
No seals or outside locks are permitted.
Handbook DM-901, Registered Mail, section 523.1,
states that numbered tin-band sealed pouches (PSIN
0817-C) should be used only when rotary locks are not
available.
The first source of supply should always be local redistribution.
Audits show that even when rotary locks are
available locally, units are not redistributing them because
they are not stored in a visible location and coordinators do
not have a visual reminder. Area registry coordinators must
monitor and coordinate the redistribution of rotary locks
within their areas, and sites should maintain up to a 7-day
supply of locks. Quantities greater than a 7-day supply are
considered excess.
If redistribution is not possible, rotary locks can be ordered
at no cost during fiscal year 2006 by contacting the
appropriate area Registered Mail coordinator listed below:
