MKP lock change instructions

First Use

  1. Your mechanical lock does not use batteries.
  2. Always start with the ‘C’ to clear any previous entries.
  3. The mechanism rotates either clockwise our counter clockwise.
  4. Your combination can be entered in any order, that is C-1-2-3-4-X is equivalent to C-X-4-3-2-1.
  5. When you enter the correct combination, the lock “OPENS”.
  6. The lock has a spring so that the mechanism will recoil when you release the knob.

Note: The lock will only open the cabinet when turned COUNTER CLOCKWISE

Lock Maintenance

Maintenance should be carried out annually or whenever the lock operation becomes “sticky”.

  1. Spray the exposed parts of the lock with WD-40 or equivalent.
  2. Remove the lock from the door.
  3. Spray the inside of the lock thoroughly with WD-40 or equivalent through the tumbler holes at the back of the lock.
  4. Push each of the buttons and rotate the knob several times to make sure the lock is working smoothly.
  5. Wipe away any excess lubricant.
  6. Replace the lock on the door.

Mechanical Key Pad……How to Change your Key Number

  1. Remove the lock from the door.
  2. Remove the 2 retaining screws from the back of the keypad. Take EXTRA care to keep the keypad on a flat surface, when you are removing the coverplate, because there are a lot of small components inside.
  3. You will now see that there are 5 red coloured coded tumblers and 8 blue coloured uncoded tumblers, plus 1 clear tumbler (‘C’ Button).
  4. To change your code, push the ‘C’ button down and hold it. You can then easily remove one or move one of your coded and uncoded tumblers, using the tweezers supplied.
  5. Remember, the red tumblers represent coded digits and the blue tumblers represent non-coded digits.
  6. Please note you should NEVER remove the ‘C’ tumbler.
  7. Please not the different shapes of tumblers, before reinserting them into the lock body. Firstly, there is a difference in shape between the coded and uncoded tumblers, illustrated. And secondly when refitting the tumblers into the lock body, they must be fitted facing the right way, again see the illustration (all square cutouts must face forwards).
  8. After you have refitted the tumblers and made a note of the new code, please replace the metal plate with the two screws.
  9. PLEASE NOTE: with the spare tumblers provided, you can either increase the number of digits in your code to 6-7 or reduce to 3-4.
