Features
Codelocks KL1100 Keypad Locker Lock
The Codelocks KL1100 Keypad is a slimline electronic lock for lockers, cabinets and cupboards. It combines traditional keypad access with a powered latch, flexible user management and automatic unlocking options.
The lock is suitable for organisations that want to remove the cost and administration associated with replacement keys while retaining simple, familiar code access. It can be used for permanently assigned storage or short-term lockers shared by different users.
Why Choose the KL1100 Keypad Lock?
The KL1100 provides standalone electronic access without requiring keys, access cards, network cabling or a central access-control system. All normal operation and programming is carried out at the lock.
- Keyless access using memorable keypad codes
- Suitable for individually assigned and shared-use lockers
- Multiple user codes can be managed from one lock
- Powered latch supports simple closing and controlled unlocking
- Automatic unlocking can help prevent lockers remaining occupied
- Administrative access can be separated from normal user access
- Can be installed on new lockers or used for compatible retrofit projects
- No network connection or subscription is required for normal operation
- Smooth external surfaces are straightforward to clean
- Available in black or silver to suit different locker finishes
Private and Public Locker Functions
The KL1100 can be configured according to whether the locker is allocated to a regular user or made available to different users throughout the day.
| Function | How the locker is used | Suitable applications |
|---|---|---|
| Private function | A programmed code is used repeatedly by an authorised person. The locker normally remains assigned to the same user or group. | Staff lockers, personal storage, office cabinets, equipment cupboards and individually allocated school lockers. |
| Public function | A user selects a temporary code when securing an available locker. Entering the same code reopens the lock and clears it for the next user. | Gyms, leisure centres, hot-desking areas, visitor storage, changing rooms and other short-term shared facilities. |
Public function can be configured for single-entry or double-entry code confirmation. Double entry can help reduce the risk of a user accidentally securing a locker with an incorrectly entered code.
Flexible User and Administrator Access
Different code levels allow day-to-day users, site managers and maintenance personnel to be given appropriate access without sharing one universal administrator code.
In private function, separate user positions allow several authorised people to operate the same locker or cabinet. This can be useful for departmental storage, shared equipment cupboards and facilities accessed by different shifts.
A Technician Code can be used by authorised staff to inspect or open a public-use locker without unnecessarily deleting the current user's code. Full programming remains restricted to the appropriate management code.
Automatic Unlocking for Shared Lockers
Automatic unlocking helps prevent a public-use locker from remaining occupied indefinitely after a user has left the site or forgotten their code.
The KL1100 can be configured to unlock after a defined period or at a selected time of day. This makes it particularly useful where lockers must be cleared at closing time, at the end of a shift or before the next group of users arrives.
- Release lockers after a maximum permitted occupancy period
- Clear shared lockers at a scheduled closing time
- Reduce the need for staff to inspect every locker manually
- Discourage unauthorised overnight or long-term occupation
- Prepare lockers for the next shift, class or booking period
The site's operating procedures should make users aware of any automatic unlocking period before the lockers are placed into service.
KL1100 Locker and Cabinet Applications
The KL1100 is intended for indoor lockers and cabinets where convenient standalone code access is required.
- Employee and workplace lockers
- Hot-desking and hybrid-working storage
- Gym and leisure-centre lockers
- School, college and university storage
- Healthcare staff lockers
- Office cupboards and shared filing cabinets
- Equipment and maintenance cabinets
- Retail staff storage
- Visitor and contractor lockers
- Changing-room storage
New Installation or Locker Lock Retrofit
The KL1100 can be fitted to suitable new locker and cabinet doors. It also shares its principal fixing-hole arrangement with the KitLock KL1000 Classic, making it a potential upgrade for compatible existing installations.
Retrofit compatibility should not be assumed from the existing lock model alone. Door construction, existing apertures, rear clearance, latch engagement and the position of the locker frame must all be checked.
The KL1100 uses a powered latch rather than a conventional rotating cam. The door and frame must therefore allow the latch to close and release correctly without excessive pressure or misalignment.
When Is the KL1100 the Right Choice?
Choose the KL1100 where a site needs a modern keypad lock with more management flexibility than a basic single-code locker lock.
| Requirement | KL1100 suitability |
|---|---|
| Repeated access by regular users | Suitable. Private function supports assigned access and multiple authorised users. |
| Short-term shared lockers | Suitable. Public function clears the temporary code when the locker is reopened. |
| Automatic end-of-day release | Suitable. The lock can be configured to release at a selected time or after a defined period. |
| Remote code generation | Not the primary application. Consider a NetCode locker lock where time-sensitive codes must be generated remotely. |
| RFID card or fob access | Consider the KL1100 RFID lock or another RFID locker locking system . |
| Central network management | Consider a networked or centrally managed electronic locking system rather than a standalone keypad lock. |

KL1100 Code Levels and Permissions
The KL1100 uses separate code levels to distinguish full administrative control from routine user and maintenance access. Management codes should be issued only to authorised personnel and stored securely.
| Code level | Code length | Quantity | Main permissions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master Code | 8 digits | 1 | Opens the lock and provides full control of programming, operating functions, administrator codes and User Codes. |
| Sub-Master Code | 8 digits | 1 | Opens the lock and provides limited programming authority, including management of Technician and User Codes. |
| Technician Code | 6 digits | 1 | Opens the lock for inspection or maintenance. In public function, it retains the current temporary User Code. |
| User Code | 4 digits | Up to 20 in private function | Provides routine access. In public function, the user's temporary code secures and subsequently releases the lock. |
Opening a public-use locker with the Master or Sub-Master Code can clear the current User Code. The Technician Code should therefore be used where the locker must be inspected without cancelling the user's access.
Programmable KL1100 Settings
| Setting | Available configuration | Technical note |
|---|---|---|
| Private function | Repeated access using pre-programmed User Codes | This is the factory-default operating function. |
| Public function | Single-entry or double-entry code confirmation | Double entry requires the temporary code to be entered twice when the locker is secured. |
| Maximum locked period | From 1 to 24 hours | The lock automatically releases when the programmed period has elapsed. |
| Scheduled auto-unlock | Unlock at a selected time of day | The internal date and time must be set before this function is used. |
| Restricted opening hours | Programmed start and finish times | Normal User Codes can be limited to the selected access period. |
| Locked LED indication | Enabled or disabled | When enabled, the red LED flashes periodically while the lock is secured. |
| Battery-level check | Available through the Master or Sub-Master Code | Red and blue LED flashes indicate the approximate remaining battery level. |
| Factory reset | Keypad reset or manual reset at the latch unit | A reset deletes configured users and restores the factory operating settings. |
| Firmware check | Available using the Master Code | LED flashes identify the firmware version installed on the lock. |
The KL1100 does not automatically adjust for British Summer Time. Where scheduled access or automatic unlocking is used, the time should be checked when the clocks change.
Battery and Emergency Power Information
The KL1100 is powered by four AA batteries housed within the rear latch unit. Use four matching, high-quality batteries and replace the complete set at the same time.
| Condition | Lock indication | Required action |
|---|---|---|
| Normal battery level | Normal keypad and LED response | Continue routine operation and include the lock in the site's planned maintenance checks. |
| Low battery | Red LED flashes three times before the normal unlocking indication | Replace all four AA batteries as soon as possible. |
| Battery failure | The keypad does not operate normally | Connect a compatible 5 V maximum mobile power bank to the micro-USB port and enter an authorised management code. |
| Batteries disconnected | Programmed codes remain stored, but time-based functions may be affected | Reset the internal date and time before relying on scheduled unlocking or restricted access periods. |
The micro-USB connection provides temporary emergency power. It is not intended to recharge the installed AA batteries or act as the lock's permanent power supply.
KL1100 Installation Requirements
| Installation detail | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Maximum door thickness | 25 mm |
| Front unit orientation | Vertical |
| Door handing | Suitable for compatible left-hung or right-hung locker and cabinet doors |
| Rear mechanism | Powered latch unit with internal battery compartment |
| Environmental seal | Fit the supplied foam gasket correctly where IP55 protection is required |
| Fixing template | Print at 100% actual size and verify all dimensions before drilling |
| Control cable | Feed the cable through the door without trapping, pinching or damaging the connector |
| Latch alignment | The powered latch must engage and release without binding against the door frame or strike |
The lock is supplied with the powered latch in the unlocked position. If installed before the batteries are fitted, it will remain unlocked until power is applied and the lock is programmed.
When replacing a conventional cam lock, the old fixing aperture may remain visible because the KL1100 uses a powered latch and a different fixing arrangement. A suitable cover plate may be required, provided the total door thickness remains within the permitted limit.

KL1100 Keypad Technical FAQs
How many User Codes can the KL1100 Keypad store?
The KL1100 Keypad can store up to 20 four-digit User Codes when operating in private function. Each code is assigned to a numbered user position so that individual codes can be changed or deleted without resetting all users.
What batteries does the KL1100 Keypad use?
The KL1100 Keypad uses four 1.5 V AA batteries located in the rear latch unit. Use four matching, high-quality batteries and replace the complete set when the low-battery warning appears.
What does the KL1100 low-battery warning look like?
The red LED flashes three times before the normal unlocking indication. Approximately 100 further openings may remain, but the four AA batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.
How is the KL1100 opened if the batteries have failed?
Connect a compatible mobile power bank, rated at no more than 5 V, to the micro-USB port at the bottom of the lock. Enter the authorised Master Code while temporary power is connected, open the door and replace the four AA batteries.
Does the micro-USB connection recharge the KL1100 batteries?
No. The micro-USB connection provides temporary emergency power so that an authorised code can open the lock. It does not recharge the installed AA batteries and should not be used as a permanent power supply.
What is the difference between the Master and Technician Codes?
The eight-digit Master Code provides full programming control. The six-digit Technician Code provides maintenance access with fewer permissions. In public function, a Technician Code opens the lock without deleting the current temporary User Code.
What happens after three incorrect KL1100 codes?
Three consecutive incorrect code entries trigger a 10-second penalty period. The keypad will not accept another operating attempt until the delay has ended.
Does the KL1100 retain its codes when the batteries are removed?
Yes. Programmed codes and general settings are retained in non-volatile memory. The internal date and time are lost when power is interrupted, so they must be reset before scheduled unlocking or restricted access periods are used again.
Does the KL1100 adjust automatically for British Summer Time?
No. The lock does not automatically apply daylight-saving adjustments. Its internal time should be checked and corrected when British Summer Time begins or ends if time-based features are enabled.
Can the KL1100 automatically unlock after a set period?
Yes. In public function, the lock can be programmed to unlock from one to 24 hours after it was secured. It can also unlock at a selected time of day once the internal date and time have been set.
What is the maximum KL1100 door thickness?
The KL1100 is supplied for compatible doors up to 25 mm thick. Any additional cover plate or packing material must be included when the total door thickness is measured.
Is the KL1100 Keypad suitable for exposed outdoor use?
The lock is primarily intended for internal lockers and cabinets. It is rated IP55 when correctly installed with the specified gasket, but the complete locker, door and installation environment must also be suitable. For help choosing a lock, see the electronic locker lock range .
Is the KL1100 Keypad programmed in the same way as the RFID version?
No. The two locks share a similar slimline body and powered latch, but the Keypad model uses numeric codes while the KL1100 RFID uses compatible cards, fobs or wristbands. Use the programming instructions supplied for the exact model.
