Operating Instructions

Setting/Changing the Combination

The Simplex 3002-26D-41 lock uses a mechanical combination. To set or change the combination, you typically need to remove the interior cover plate and manipulate the code tumblers according to the detailed instructions provided with your lock's programming guide. This process usually involves:

1. Removing the interior cover.
2. Locating the code change mechanism (e.g., tumblers or pins).
3. Following the specific sequence to set your desired code.
4. Testing the new code before reassembling the lock.

Important: Always record your new combination in a secure location. Do not share your combination with unauthorized individuals.

Unlocking from the Exterior (Code Entry)

1. Enter Code: Press the buttons corresponding to your combination in the correct sequence.
2. Turn Handle/Lever: After entering the correct code, turn the exterior handle or lever to retract the latch bolt.
3. Open Door: The door will now open.
4. Relock: The lock automatically relocks when the door is closed and the handle/lever returns to its original position.

Unlocking from the Interior (Thumbturn)

From the interior side, simply rotate the thumbturn to retract the latch bolt and open the door. This provides immediate egress without needing to enter a code.

Key Override Function

If your model includes a key override, insert the key into the cylinder and turn it to retract the latch bolt. This function is typically used for emergency access or by authorized personnel for management purposes.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Clean the exterior of the lock with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

Lubrication

• Periodically apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant or a silicone spray to the latch bolt and internal moving parts.
