Check Operation Of The Coded Front Plate; Installation Instructions; If Your Lockcase Has A Hole Below The Follower (Fig.1 ‘A’) - CODELOCKS CL500 Installation Manuals

Check operation of the coded
front plate
Turn the front plate over and note
that the red tipped tumblers inside
correspond to the code. The code
may be entered in any sequence, i.e.
1370 may be entered as 3710 or any
other sequence of those numbers.
There are a total of 2,047 codes
available, any of which may be
entered in any order.
If you intend to change the code you
should do it, if convenient, before
installing the lock – see the Code
Change instructions.
The CL500 model is intended to
replace the conventional door
furniture fitted to an existing mortice
latch, or an existing mortice lock
which has both a spring latch and a
deadbolt. The square follower should
be 8mm square. Any lock and key
mechanism is retained to operate the
deadbolt. The latchbolt will only
operate by code, and not by key.
A mortice lock case should have
holes for fixing bolts to pass through
on either side of the square latch
follower and sometimes, additionally,
a hole below the follower. See figure
1 and confirm that your lockcase is
compatible with the CL500 lock
plates.
If your lockcase has a hole
below the follower (fig.1 'A'),
proceed as follows:
1. Hold the black neoprene seal with
the three holes against the door,
perfectly vertically, with the
rectangular hole centrally over the
follower. Mark the top and bottom
holes on the door face, and repeat
the procedure on the other side of
the door. Remove the lock. At both
points drill a 12mm hole through the
door. Drill from both sides for greater
accuracy and to avoid splintering out
of the door face. Check that the
existing spindle hole is at least 18mm
diameter. Replace the lock.
2. Take the BLUE or RED tipped
spindle and fit to the code side
according to the hand of your door
(see diagram).
Fit the butterfly spindle to the inside,
non-code side.
3. Check that the lever handles are correctly fitted for the hand of door. To change the hand of a lever handle, loosen the grub
screw with the small Allen key, reverse the lever handle and full tighten the grub screw.
4. Cut two of the black socket head screws to the required length for your door. Approximate overall length should be door
thickness plus 25mm, to allow about 10mm of threaded bolt to enter the outside plate.
5. Apply the front and back plates, with the neoprene seals in position, against the door, over the protruding ends of the spindle.
6. Fix the two plates together using the socket head bolts, starting with the top fixing. Ensure that the two plates are truly vertical
and then tighten the bolts using the 'T' shaped Allen key. Do not use excessive force.
7. Before closing the door, enter the code and ensure that the latchbolt will retract when the lever handle is depressed. Now
check the operation of the inside lever handle. If there is any binding of the handles or latch then loosen the bolts slightly and
reposition the plates slightly until the correct position is found, and then re-tighten the bolts.
If your lockcase only has holes on either side of the
follower (fig.1 B), proceed as follows:
1. Hold the black neoprene seal with the three holes against the
door, perfectly vertically, with the rectangular hole centrally over the
follower. Mark the top hole and the holes on either side of the
follower, if not already drilled, then repeat the procedure on the other
side of the door. Mark an extra hole on the inside of the door in line
with the bottom fixing hole. Remove the lock. Drill the 3 x 12mm
holes from both sides for greater accuracy, and to avoid splintering
out of the door face. Check that the existing spindle hole is at least
18mm. Drill the extra 12mm hole 5mm deep on the inside of the door
to accept the fixing nut on the adaptor plate. Replace the lock.
2. Take the BLUE or RED tipped spindle and fit to the code side
according to the hand of your door (see diagram).
