Why Choose Simplex Locks

Simplex mechanical pushbutton locks by dormakaba offer reliable keyless access without cards, wires, or batteries. These locks are trusted in commercial and residential applications for their durability and simplicity.

Advantages:

  • Keyless convenience – No keys to lose or copy.
  • Heavy-duty construction – Ideal for high-traffic use.
  • Low maintenance – No batteries or wiring required.
  • Fast reprogramming – Easily change entry codes when needed.

Disadvantages:

  • Typically supports only one code at a time.
  • No remote or smartphone integration in mechanical models.

Simplex Lock Rekeying

Unlike standard keyed locks, Simplex mechanical locks are rekeyed by changing the entry code. This makes them ideal for quick re-securing without hardware replacement.

Changing the combination can be done without removing the lock from the door, but requires following specific steps depending on the model. We recommend professional help to avoid lockouts or misprogramming.

Price range: $50–$100 depending on the model and service complexity.

Simplex Smart Locks

While most Simplex locks are mechanical, dormakaba offers digital models like the PowerPlex series. These locks combine code-based entry with audit trails and multiple user codes.

Standard smart locks include features such as:

  • Multiple user credentials
  • Timed lockout modes
  • Self-powered operation (PowerStar models)

Retrofit options are available to upgrade older mechanical Simplex locks to digital keypads with memory and access control.

DIY vs. Professional Locksmith Services

Some Simplex models allow end-user reprogramming, but not all installations are DIY-friendly. Improper installation or code setting may render the lock inoperable or insecure.

DIY:

  • Cost-saving, but requires careful instructions.
  • No warranty on failed rekey attempts.

Professional:

  • Fast, correct configuration and mounting.
  • Includes warranty on labor and parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can I reset a Simplex lock code myself?
    Yes, most Simplex locks are designed for user reprogramming. However, the process varies by model and must be done precisely to avoid disabling the lock.
  2. Do Simplex locks work outdoors?
    Yes. Many models, such as the 1000 and L1000 series, are weather-resistant and suitable for exterior use on gates, doors, and perimeter access points.
  3. What if I forget the code?
    If the code is forgotten, the lock must be reset. This often requires disassembly and a special key or reset procedure—call a locksmith for assistance.
  4. Do you service legacy Simplex models?
    Yes, we service most mechanical and electronic models, including discontinued lines. We'll let you know if replacement is more cost-effective than repair.
  5. Are Simplex locks ADA compliant?
    Lever-style models like the L1000 series are ADA compliant and suitable for accessibility requirements in public and commercial buildings.
  6. Can I get multiple Simplex locks with the same code?
    Yes. We can configure multiple locks to share the same access code if installed on the same property or managed under a single key policy.
  7. Is there a backup key for Simplex locks?
    Most mechanical models do not have a key override. Some electronic or special versions may include that feature—check your model specs.
  8. Do Simplex locks come in different finishes?
    Yes. Popular finishes include satin chrome, polished brass, and black. We can order and install your preferred aesthetic match.
  9. Can you provide same-day installation?
    In most cases, yes. Our mobile locksmiths are available for same-day service across Katy and surrounding areas.
  10. Are Simplex locks pick-proof?
    Mechanical Simplex locks have no keyhole, so they're immune to traditional lock picking. However, they must be properly installed to ensure tamper resistance.
