M. HOW TO RESET A LOST OR

UNKNOWN COMBINATION

There is no way to determine a forgotten, unknown or lost combination

code from the front or outside of the lock. However, it can be reset and

recovered or reset and changed to a new code by following the steps in

this section.

Warning: Since this procedure is of a technical nature, only technically

trained personnel in the lock and hardware field should undertake this

operation. For further assistance, call the Kaba Access Control technical

support line at 800-849-TECH (8324) or 336-725-1331 between 8AM and

5PM Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday (except holidays).

M-1 Removing Lock From Door

Remove the Simplex 5000 Exit Trim lock

from the door. (Reverse procedures from

section J of this manual).

M-2 Remove the Universal Mounting Plate

from the Unit Assembly

Disassemble the Universal Mounting Plate

from the Outside Unit Assembly. (Reverse

procedure from section E of this manual).

M-3 Removing Combination Chamber

Assembly

Carefully remove the base plate of outside unit assembly

(a) by removing the 2 Phillips screws (one screw may be

found under an inspection sticker).

Remove the combination chamber assembly (b) from the

base plate by removing the 2 Phillips screws (c).

Remove the 3-sided dust cover (d) to fully

expose the chamber by removing 2 small

Phillips screws (e) (may be 1 screw in newer

models) (x).

K-5 Insert one of the supplied keys into the outside lever. Rotate key counter

clockwise till it stops (approximately 90 degrees), while holding the key in

this position with one hand, use the other hand to rotate the lever down-

wards till it stops and hold (once the lever has rotated a few degrees the

key may be released). Ensure that the latch has retracted sufficiently to

clear the strike. Release the lever once more and ensure that the latch is

fully extended.

L. CHANGING COMBINATIONS

Note: The factory set combination of your new 5000 series: Press “2” and

“4” at the same time, then release. Press “3”, then release. Press the

“ENTER” button, then release. For your security, the factory set combina-

tion MUST BE changed when lock is installed.

The combination can be easily changed using one to five of the lock’s buttons

in any order in the combination. Each button can only be used once. Note:

Three or more non-sequential button combinations are recommended for

higher security. Also, two or more buttons may be pushed together (at the

same time) as part of your new combination.

CAUTION: The door MUST BE open during this entire procedure.

L-1 Note: The combination change can be done without removing lock from

door. Ensure that the door is open during this procedure. Rotate the

outside lever (d) once to stop position and release to reset the lock; the

latch should not retract.

L-2 Press the existing combination (b) followed by the ENTER button (c) and

release; do not turn the lever.

Exterior Combination Change

L-3 Insert the release tool (a) through hole in number pad

and gently lift up loop end of the tool to depress the

code change button until you hear a click; remove tool

and do not press any buttons.

L-4 **This Step Is Very Important** Rotate lever (d) once,

and only once to clear the old combination; the latch (e)

will retract; release the lever.

L-5 Press in your new combination (b) followed by the

ENTER button (c) and release.

L-6 Rotate the lever (d) to verify that the latch retracts confirming the

validity of the new combination (if you try the old combination now, it

should not work).

IMPORTANT: The “ENTER” button must be depressed and released

after entering the combination. The latch will not retract until the

“ENTER” button is depressed and released.
