Why Using Simplex Locks
Simplex locks, made by Kaba, offer mechanical push-button access without the need for keys, cards, or batteries. This makes them extremely reliable and maintenance-free, even in high-traffic environments.
Advantages include quick combination changes, no electronic hacking risk, and installation versatility on doors, cabinets, and gates. They're ideal for areas where controlled access is required but electrical wiring isn't practical.
The downside? Only one access code is typically available at a time, which might not suit environments that require multiple user profiles. Also, incorrect installation can lead to premature wear or jamming of the mechanism.
Simplex Lock Rekey
Some Simplex locks feature optional key override cylinders, which can be rekeyed just like any standard lock. If your model includes this feature and you’ve lost the override key, rekeying is a smart, cost-effective solution.
Our locksmiths carry the tools and components to rekey these cylinders on-site. Prices range from $40 to $65, depending on the model and override system. Rekeying the mechanical code itself (if needed) is also possible on many models.
Smart Locks
While Simplex locks are primarily mechanical, some models incorporate audit trails or limited electronic control, such as the Simplex L1000 with passage mode or lockout mode features. However, they are not smart locks in the traditional sense.
For clients looking to upgrade their Simplex system to true smart functionality, we can help retrofit your entry with hybrid solutions that maintain mechanical simplicity while adding card readers or keypad integration.
We’ll help you compare your current setup with retrofit kits or guide you through upgrading to a full smart lock system while maintaining mechanical backup.
Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith
Simplex locks may look simple, but installing or resetting them requires precision. An incorrect install can misalign the mechanism or cause code buttons to stick—rendering the lock unreliable or unusable.
Professional installation ensures long-term performance, proper torque settings, and security testing. We also handle combination resets safely without damaging the lock. Every installation is backed by a 6-month warranty on parts and labor.
