Buttons may only be used once in a code. For example, 1212 is not possible.
A code, or combination, can be entered in any order or sequence, e.g. C1234 can be C4321 or C1342 or whichever sequence is most convenient to remember. The total number of codes available depends on how many buttons the lock has.
The lock is factory set with a randomly selected code starting with the ‘C’ button. This code can be found on the code card included in the box. The code is not recorded by the factory.
The code can be changed as often as required to any other code. Every new code must start with the ‘C’ button.
The code length can be increased/decreased by 1 digit using the spare tumblers.
Code Change Instructions
- If already installed, remove the lock off the door by unscrewing the fixing bolts in the back plate.
- Press the ‘C’ button to reset the chamber and place the lock case on a flat surface with the buttons down.
- Remove the coloured screws and carefully lift off the code change plate. Check that all springs are held in place on the plate.
- Hold the lock in your hand, press and hold the ‘C’ button. Keeping the ‘C’ button depressed use tweezers or a pair of long nosed pliers to reposition the tumblers to correspond with your new code. The square notches of all tumblers must face outwards, with the square tips at the top: See Fig.1. Do not force the tumblers in.
Note: Holding the ‘C’ button depressed whilst removing or replacing the tumblers is ESSENTIAL to avoid damaging the internal mechanism. DO NOT attempt to reposition the ‘C’ tumbler. - Replace the code change plate carefully with the coloured screws.
- Check the operation of the new code and make a written note of it before reinstalling the lock.
- Reinstall the lock according to its specific Installation Instructions. All instructions are available online at codelockssupport.com
