Kaba Simplex 7102 - User Manual

The Simplex 7100 Series is a line of mechanical pushbutton locks designed for access control, eliminating the need for keys or cards. These locks provide fully mechanical primary or auxiliary pushbutton access control via an exterior combination, while allowing free egress at all times through an interior thumbturn.

Function Description:

The Simplex 7100 Series offers robust access control without the complexities and costs associated with issuing, controlling, and collecting keys or cards. The mechanical design means there are no batteries to replace, reducing material and labor expenses. Deadbolt models require manual relocking, while deadlocking latch models automatically relock each time the door closes. The Model 7106, a rim deadlocking latch, also includes a latch holdback feature.

Usage Features:

Access Control: Provides a single access code that is easy to manage for all users.
Programming: The lock can be easily programmed via the keypad without removing it from the door.
Operation Modes: Offers pushbutton access and, for the Model 7106, a latch holdback feature.
Economical: A cost-effective access control solution due to its mechanical nature and lack of battery requirements.
Changing the Code/Combination: The combination can be changed while the door is open. The process involves turning the outside thumbturn, entering the existing combination, using a Phillips-head screwdriver to turn a central piece in the combination change assembly, removing the screwdriver (ensuring the central piece returns to its original position), turning the thumbturn again to clear the existing code, and then entering a new combination. Each button can be used only once in a combination, either individually or simultaneously. One-button combinations are not recommended.
Testing: After setting a new combination, it is crucial to test the lock's operation 2-3 times with the door open to ensure the combination was set correctly.

Maintenance Features:

No Battery: The fully mechanical design eliminates the need for battery replacements, reducing ongoing maintenance costs and labor.
Troubleshooting:
- Issue: Outside thumbturn retracts latch clockwise without depressing any buttons.
- Cause: Lock is in zero combination.
- Solution: Follow the procedure for setting a new combination, but omit step 2 (entering the existing combination).
General Operation: Do not use excessive force at any time. If a wrong combination is entered, turn the outside thumbturn counterclockwise to the top position and release to clear any previously depressed buttons before re-entering the correct combination.
