For detailed visual instructions, refer to the installation guide included with your product packaging. Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and security.
Operating Instructions
The Simplex E-Plex lock operates using a numeric keypad for access control. Programming is done directly on the keypad.
Entering an Access Code
- Press the # key to activate the keypad.

- Press the # key again to confirm.

Programming Access Codes
The lock can be programmed directly via the keypad without removing it from the door. Refer to the full programming guide for advanced features such as adding/deleting codes, setting passage mode, or changing master codes.

- Adding a User Code: Typically involves entering the master code, a specific function key, the new user code, and confirming.
- Deleting a User Code: Similar process, using the master code and a delete function key.
Note: Specific key sequences for programming are detailed in the separate programming instructions provided with your lock.
Key Override (if applicable)
If your model includes the optional key-in-lever cylinder, you can use the physical key to unlock the door in case of battery failure or for emergency access. Insert the key into the cylinder and turn to unlock.
Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: The lock is powered by batteries (type specified in product documentation). When batteries are low, the lock may provide an audible or visual warning. Replace all batteries simultaneously with new, high-quality alkaline batteries.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the lock with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and keypad.
- Lubrication: The internal mechanisms are designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Do not lubricate the keypad or internal components unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check that all mounting screws are secure and that the lever operates smoothly.
