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!
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).
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.
Use the gasket from the electronic lock to mark where you will need to drill the extra hole for the battery cable.
With a 25mm drill bit (for wood), drill the hole from both sides of the door to avoid splintering.
Reinsert the spindle with the spring on the code side of door.
Place the front plate over the spindle, passing the cable through the hole.
Place the back plate over the spindle passing the cable through the hole in the gasket.
Use the existing fixing bolts from the old lock to secure the new one.
Install the battery pack and fit the battery cover. Job done! Your new electronic keypad lock is ready to use.
