Why Using Simplex Locks

Simplex locks, manufactured by Kaba (now dormakaba), are mechanical pushbutton locks that offer secure access without the need for keys, batteries, or wiring. They’re widely used in commercial buildings, offices, and storage rooms where restricted access is needed without the complexity of electronics.

Their keyless convenience reduces the risk of lost keys and unauthorized duplication. Simplex locks are also known for their durability, weather resistance, and compliance with fire and ADA codes in certain models.

The main limitation is that most models are single-code systems, meaning all users share the same entry code — though this works well in many environments where frequent code changes aren’t required.

Simplex Lock Rekey

Many Simplex locks include optional key override cylinders. If your lock has this feature, we can rekey the cylinder portion to deny access to old keys. However, most Simplex locks do not rely on traditional keys, and instead, the pushbutton code is changed directly on the hardware.

Our locksmiths in Channelview can reprogram your combination code securely, whether you’ve lost the original code or just want to reset it. Rekeying or code changes typically cost $40 to $65 depending on the lock model and condition.

Smart Locks

Although Simplex locks are mechanical, dormakaba also offers electronic models under the E-Plex line. If you're interested in expanding into smart access, E-Plex locks provide features like audit trails, multiple user codes, time-based access, and integration with card readers or fobs.

E-Plex locks maintain the same rugged durability of Simplex but include keypad + card or keypad + PIN options. We install and program both Simplex and E-Plex models for businesses in Channelview.

Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith

Installing a Simplex lock may seem straightforward, but many users run into issues with alignment, latch compatibility, or incorrect code programming. Also, some doors (especially metal or glass) may require special hardware or drilling templates.

Our professional locksmiths ensure your Simplex lock is installed cleanly, the combination is set securely, and any optional override keys are tested. We also provide a 6-month warranty on labor and parts for peace of mind.
