Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to install your Strnek Mechanical Code Lock:

1. Prepare the Door: Ensure your door thickness is between 30-60mm. Mark the positions for drilling holes for the lock body and the through-bolts according to the provided template (if included, otherwise measure carefully).

2. Install the Lock Body: Insert the lock body into the edge of the door. Secure it with screws. Ensure the latch bolt extends and retracts smoothly.

3. Install the Strike Plate: Position the strike plate on the door frame so that the latch bolt aligns perfectly. Mark and chisel out the recess for the strike plate and secure it with screws.

4. Attach the Panels:

   • Insert the spindle through the lock body.
   • Place the rubber gaskets on both sides of the door panels.
   • Align the front panel (with the keypad) and the back panel (with the handle) with the drilled holes and the spindle.
   • Secure the panels using the long through-bolts, ensuring they are tightened evenly to prevent misalignment.

5. Test Operation: Before closing the door, test the lock mechanism. Ensure the handle turns freely and the latch retracts when the correct code is entered and the handle is turned. Also, check that the lock engages properly when the door is closed.

Operating Instructions

The Strnek Mechanical Code Lock operates without batteries and uses a mechanical combination system.

Setting the Password

This lock has a single set of passwords, and the numbers are not repeatable. For example, if the password is set to "123456", entering "231456" will also open it, as long as all the correct digits are pressed, regardless of order. The recommended password length is 4-6 digits, but it supports 1-11 digits.

To set or change the password, you will typically need to access the internal mechanism of the lock panel. Refer to the specific instructions provided with your lock for the exact procedure, as this often involves rotating pins on the back of the keypad to correspond with your desired code. Always perform password changes with the lock disassembled or in an unlocked state to avoid locking yourself out.

Unlocking the Door

1. Enter the Code: Press the digits of your set password in any order.
2. Turn the Handle: After entering the correct digits, turn the handle to retract the latch bolt.
3. Open the Door: Push or pull the door open.

Locking the Door

To lock the door, simply close it. The latch bolt will automatically extend and secure the door. No code entry is required to lock the door from the outside or inside.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the lock surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the latch bolt and internal moving parts to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
• Inspection: Regularly check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. If any part appears loose or damaged, tighten or replace it as necessary.
• Environmental Conditions: While the lock is durable, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., direct rain, extreme cold/heat) may affect its longevity. If installed outdoors, ensure it is in a sheltered location.

Troubleshooting

• Lock not opening with correct code:

  • Ensure all correct digits are pressed. Remember the order does not matter, but all required digits must be pressed.
  • Press the 'C' (reset) button before re-entering the code.
  • Check if the handle is turning freely. If stiff, apply lubricant to the spindle and latch mechanism.
  • Verify that the internal password setting pins are correctly aligned with your chosen code.

• Handle is loose or not engaging:

  • Tighten the through-bolts connecting the front and back panels.
  • Ensure the spindle is correctly inserted and engaging with both handles and the lock body.

• Latch bolt not retracting/extending smoothly:

  • Check for obstructions in the door frame or strike plate.
  • Lubricate the latch bolt mechanism.
  • Ensure the lock body is installed straight and not binding.
