ASSA Cardlock Classic Mechanical Locker Lock
The ASSA Cardlock Classic is a mechanical locker lock that uses a punched card as a deposit and a key for locker access. It requires no batteries, wiring, software or access codes, making it suitable for temporary-use lockers in leisure centres, swimming pools, healthcare facilities and public buildings.
The lock can be configured to accept cards with one or two precisely positioned punched holes. A strong hook bolt secures the locker door to the frame, while materials selected for humid environments support use in properly specified wet-area installations.
How the ASSA Cardlock Classic Works
When the locker is available, its key remains captive in the lock. The user inserts a compatible punched card, locks the door and removes the locker key.
The card remains captive while the locker is locked. When the user returns the key and unlocks the door, the card is released and the key remains in the lock for the next user.
| Locker available | Locker key remains captive |
|---|---|
| Card inserted | The locker can be locked and the key removed |
| Locker in use | The punched card remains captive in the lock |
| Locker reopened | The card is released and the key remains captive |

One-Hole and Two-Hole Card Coding
The Cardlock Classic can be assembled for cards with either one or two punched holes. The position of the holes determines which locks will accept the card.
Different card codes can be used to separate locker access between changing rooms, departments, membership groups or other managed areas. The card-hole positions must accurately match the lock configuration.
Cards should be produced using the correct ASSA card punch or ordered pre-punched to the required pattern. Hand-drilled or inaccurately punched cards may not operate reliably.
Card Locks for Wet and Humid Areas
The ASSA Cardlock Classic uses components selected for humid and corrosive environments. Typical applications include swimming-pool changing rooms, leisure centres, sports facilities and healthcare changing areas.
Suitability also depends on the locker material, door preparation, fixings, cleaning regime and level of exposure to water or chemicals. The complete installation should therefore be checked before the lock is specified for a wet area.
For complete wet-area storage systems, see our swimming-pool lockers and leisure locker range .
Typical Applications
- Swimming-pool and leisure-centre lockers
- Sports and changing-room lockers
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Schools, colleges and universities
- Theatres, libraries and public buildings
- Visitor and temporary-use storage areas
Compatibility depends on the locker-door construction, handing, mounting preparation, hook-bolt position and selected card configuration. Similar-looking locker locks are not necessarily interchangeable.
Replacement Cards, Keys and Locks
Replacement products should be matched to the existing lock system. Before ordering, provide photographs of the front and rear of the lock, any visible model numbers, the door handing and details of the punched-card pattern.
Useful identification information includes:
- One-hole or two-hole card configuration
- Exact position of the punched holes
- Existing key or cylinder reference
- Right-hand or left-hand door operation
- Locker-door material and thickness
- Required quantity of locks, cards and keys
