Upgrade to an electronic keypad lock in eight easy steps

 

We often get asked which product is best when upgrading from a single-code mechanical door lock to a more sophisticated electronic version. The digital electronic locks in our CL2000 product range have the same fixing holes as the majority of basic mechanical keyless locks, making them ideally suited for this application.

Follow this simple 8-point demonstration and see just how quickly it is to retrofit a keyless electronic door lock. Our fitter completed the task in less than 10 minutes!

 

Mechanical lock upgrade

The following steps show you how easy it is to upgrade a mechanical lock (shown on door CL255) to an electronic one (shown in hand CL2255).

 

Step 1

You will need a screwdriver and drill, and a 25mm drill bit for wood. Step one - remove the existing lock from the door, leaving the existing latch in place.
