The KL1000 G3 NetCode® combines the style and functionality of the KL1000 G3 KitLock with the convenience of Codelocks' NetCode technology - enabling administrators to generate temporary date and time-sensitive access codes.
The KL1000 G3 NetCode can be set up to provide either short or long-term access for users and includes all the features introduced with the KL1000 G3 - including a key override function, easy access to the battery compartment and the option to include Slam Latch for fast 'push shut' closure.
The instructions in the box are straight forward to understand. A QR code is also supplied for additional programming instructions. The instructions are simple to read. The installation part of the lock is very straight forward and easy to fix. The instructions step by step guide is very clear and if followed correctly, will allow for an easy installation. The programming seems to be quite technical for such a basic lock.
There are lots of different types of codes, master, sub master, technician and user codes that operate differently. Whilst these are good features, programming the codes into the lock seemed like it could have been made easier, as the LEDs are used to guide you through the programming, but seem to time out and not work as suggested each time.
The lock performs exactly as it supposed to. It locks the door and unlocks the door when required. No problems in its performance when testing. Sits nice and flush and because of the extra washers, there is no movement on the door when it is locked.
Once programmed in, the NetCode function works perfectly. Access codes sent via text or email gave access on specified dates and times for the allocated period.
The build quality of the lock is very good; a solid stainless-steel unit with a very smooth finish. It looks very modern and smart and is quite robust. The buttons are of good quality and from testing the lock, do not seem to stick or seem like they will over time as some other locks on the market do.
The indicating LEDs are very bright and are set back into the lock for protection. A good build quality overall.
The lock has been tested on internal office doors, outhouse door and a shed door, as well as the lockers for which it is intended so might be useful for multiple applications.
Very smart looking, robust, easy to fix, performs as it says. The ability to have the lock latched open upon entry of the code and stay latched open until the code is re-entered, or have the lock perform as most locks do, re lock after the code is entered is useful. The choice between the two is a good feature of this product.
When programming the codes in with the LED indication, the LEDs can time out and sometimes it is not clear on what stage of the programming you were at.
