Retrofitting a Codelocks CL155 Keypad Lock for Secure Access in York
We recently completed a retrofit installation of the Codelocks CL155 Tubular Mortice Latch on a fire escape door at a commercial unit in York. The client, a local engineering company, wanted to provide their staff with convenient and secure access, and the keypad lock was the ideal choice to meet their requirements. Here’s a closer look at the installation process and the benefits this lock brings.
Why Choose the Codelocks CL155?
The Codelocks CL155 is a durable and versatile solution, specifically designed for retrofit projects where added security and ease of use are top priorities. This keyless entry system provides quick and controlled access without the need for traditional keys, which makes it perfect for busy workplaces with frequent staff movement. The client’s primary goal was to enhance security and access convenience, and the CL155 met both needs seamlessly.
Installation Process: Adding Keyless Entry to an Existing Door
1. Preparation and Assessment
Before installing the lock, we conducted a site survey to confirm that the door and frame were compatible with the CL155 lock. Our focus was to ensure that the lock could be fitted with minimal adjustments, preserving the door’s integrity and fire rating.
2. Fitting the CL155 Keypad Lock
With precise measurements in place, we began by marking the location for the tubular mortice latch. The retrofit process required careful alignment to ensure smooth operation of the keypad mechanism and latch. This installation allowed the door to remain secure, only opening when the correct code is entered.
3. Testing for Smooth Functionality
After fitting the lock, we tested the door several times to ensure the latch engaged properly with the strike plate. We also walked the client through setting and changing access codes, giving their staff the flexibility to update security as needed.
Benefits of the Codelocks CL155 Keypad Lock
The CL155 provides a great balance of security and ease of use. By eliminating the need for physical keys, it reduces the risk of unauthorised access and provides more controlled entry for staff. Our client now has peace of mind knowing that only those with the code can enter, adding an extra layer of security to the commercial unit.
