What are Codelocks KitLock locker locks?

Codelocks manufactures mechanical and electronic locking products. KitLock is its range of locks designed for suitable lockers, cabinets, cupboards and other storage applications.

Unlike conventional keyed cam locks, many KitLock products use a numerical code or compatible RFID credential for normal access. Most of the electronic models covered here operate as standalone battery-powered locks, so they do not require mains wiring to every locker door.

KitLock models vary considerably. Some provide straightforward keypad access for individual users, others accommodate frequently changing users, and NetCode products enable temporary access codes to be generated for defined periods.

Codelocks KitLock model comparison

The following table compares the principal functions of the models covered by Total Locker Service. Product names can differ between older installations and current ranges, so check the model reference before ordering a replacement.

Model	Access method	Distinguishing feature	Typical application
KL1050 / KL1000 RFID	MIFARE RFID	Contactless access using compatible cards, fobs or wristbands	Assigned and shared lockers
KL1060 / KL1000 NetCode	Keypad and NetCode	Time-sensitive codes generated through the NetCode system	Temporary or remotely managed access
KL1100 Keypad	Electronic keypad	Slimline design with additional user-code and automatic-unlocking features	Workplace, school and shared lockers
KL1100 RFID	Compatible RFID credentials	Contactless access with additional credential-management options	Facilities managing multiple RFID lockers
KL1200	Electronic keypad	More robust construction with additional programming options	Busier or more demanding locker applications

Important: the KL1100 Keypad and KL1100 RFID are different products. Similarly, the KL1050 is an RFID model, while the KL1060 is associated with NetCode keypad operation. Do not select a replacement simply because the model numbers appear similar.

KitLock KL1050: MIFARE RFID locker lock

The KitLock KL1050, also known as the KL1000 RFID, provides keyless access using compatible MIFARE RFID credentials.

Instead of entering a PIN, the user presents a compatible card, fob or wristband to the lock. This makes the KL1050 suitable for applications where an organisation prefers contactless access or already uses compatible identification credentials.

KL1050 private and public functions

The KL1050 supports two principal operating arrangements.

• Private Function: intended for assigned lockers, using registered credentials. The published KL1050 specification supports up to 50 registered user cards per lock.
• Public Function: intended for temporary use. A user presents a compatible credential to secure an available locker and presents the same credential to reopen it.

The manufacturer’s specification also describes Master User Card and Technician Card functions, with different permissions depending on the operating mode.

KL1050 installation and power

The KL1050 is a standalone battery-powered lock using two AAA cells. The published specification describes fitting to compatible doors up to 25 mm thick, with vertical or horizontal positioning available.

For retrofit projects, confirm the existing door opening, fixing arrangement and locking cam. MIFARE compatibility must also be checked against the actual card or credential technology already used at the site.

KitLock KL1060: NetCode electronic locker lock

The KitLock KL1060 is associated with the KL1000 NetCode range. Its principal difference from a conventional keypad lock is the ability to generate time-sensitive access codes.

NetCode is useful where an authorised person needs to arrange access without physically attending the locker to issue a permanent code or key.

How KL1060 NetCode works

NetCode enables authorised users to generate access codes for defined dates, times or durations through the supported NetCode portal or application interface.

The manufacturer describes different options for short-term, medium-term and longer-term access. Available code types and durations depend on the system configuration and version.

The lock itself operates locally. NetCode generation does not mean that the locker is continuously connected to a network or that a manager can necessarily see its live locked or unlocked status.

KL1060 operating functions

The published KL1060 NetCode documentation describes three modes.

• Private Function: a repeated user code for an assigned locker.
• Public Function: a temporary code selected by the user for shared locker operation.
• NetCode: time-sensitive access codes created through the supported management system.

The KL1060 therefore suits applications such as temporary contractor storage, managed access to cabinets and locker facilities where access needs to be arranged for specified periods.

KL1060 power and installation

The referenced KL1060 NetCode specification lists two AAA batteries, a low-battery indication and an external battery override arrangement. It also describes compatibility with suitable doors up to 25 mm thick.

Before selecting NetCode, confirm the required portal access, account arrangements, code-generation process and any service or communication charges associated with the chosen configuration.

KitLock KL1100: keypad locker locks

The KitLock KL1100 Keypad is a slimline standalone electronic lock that retains conventional numerical-code access while introducing additional programming and operating functions.

It is intended for lockers and cabinets where users need a familiar keypad arrangement but the organisation wants more flexibility than a basic electronic cam lock provides.

The product range includes additional user-code functionality and automatic-unlocking options. These features must be configured according to the requirements of the site and the specific lock version.

KL1100 public and private use

The KL1100 Keypad can be used for permanently assigned lockers or temporary shared-use applications where the supported operating mode is configured appropriately.

Private-use operation can suit staff or student lockers assigned to regular users. Public-use operation can suit facilities where occupants change during the day.

KL1100 mounting requirements

The published KL1100 Keypad product specification describes fitting to compatible doors up to 25 mm thick. Existing door preparation, fixing positions and latch or cam operation must still be checked before a retrofit installation.

The environmental suitability of the complete installation should be considered separately from the lock’s published ingress-protection rating.

KitLock KL1100 RFID: contactless access and card management

The KL1100 RFID is a separate model from the KL1100 Keypad. It uses compatible RFID credentials rather than a conventional numerical keypad for normal user access.

This model can be considered where multiple lockers use centrally issued credentials, particularly in facilities such as leisure centres, hospitals, universities and workplaces.

Depending on the selected management arrangement, credentials may be issued and controlled through supported reception or facilities-management equipment. Additional card-management functionality, including available audit features, depends on the specified system and accessories.

Do not assume that an existing site access card will operate the KL1100 RFID without checking the credential format and compatibility.

KitLock KL1200: robust electronic keypad lock

The KitLock KL1200 is designed for applications requiring a more robust electronic keypad lock with additional programming functions.

Compared with the simpler KL1000-style keypad range, the KL1200 provides a larger lock body and a specification intended for more demanding use.

KL1200 features

The published KL1200 specification includes the following features, subject to the version and configuration supplied.

• Private and public operating functions.
• Electronic keypad access with individual buttons.
• Additional programming options, including automatic unlocking.
• Two AAA batteries and low-battery indication.
• External emergency battery-power arrangement.
• Different fitting orientations and configurations.

The manufacturer’s referenced specification describes IP54 protection when fitted with the appropriate rubber gasket. This does not mean that the lock is suitable for continuous water exposure or every wet-area environment.

Different KL1200 generations and configurations may have different programming procedures and capabilities. Always identify the exact version before ordering a replacement or attempting to reprogramme an existing installation.

Which Codelocks KitLock model should you choose?

The appropriate model depends primarily on how users will access the locker and how the site intends to manage the system.

Requirement	Model to investigate	Reason
Contactless access using compatible cards or wristbands	KL1050 / KL1000 RFID	Standalone MIFARE RFID access
Temporary access codes issued remotely	KL1060 NetCode	Time-sensitive code generation
Keypad access with flexible programming	KL1100 Keypad	Additional code and automatic-unlocking features
RFID access with additional credential-management options	KL1100 RFID	Supported card-management arrangements
More demanding keypad-lock installations	KL1200	Robust construction and additional functions

These are starting points rather than interchangeable replacements. The available model version, locker construction and required management functions must all be checked before selecting a product.

Can KitLock locks be fitted to existing lockers?

Several KitLock models are suitable for compatible retrofit applications, allowing existing lockers to be upgraded without necessarily replacing the doors or locker bodies.

However, an existing cam-lock opening does not automatically make a door compatible with every KitLock model. The mounting method and locking arrangement can differ considerably between products.

KitLock retrofit measurements

Before ordering, confirm the following details.

• Door material: steel, laminate, timber or another construction.
• Door thickness: include any cover plates or additional components.
• Existing cut-out: measure the opening left by the original lock.
• Fixing positions: check whether the new lock requires additional mounting holes.
• Cam or latch: confirm engagement with the locker frame.
• Rear clearance: ensure the mechanism does not obstruct internal components.
• Orientation: check the required fitting direction and available model configuration.

A representative trial installation can be useful before converting a large bank of lockers. The lock should be tested for secure fixing, correct latch engagement and reliable operation with the door closed.

For the wider mechanical conversion process, see our Retrofit Locker Locks UK guide.

Managing KitLock user access and override procedures

Different KitLock models use different management arrangements. A keypad lock may have master and technician codes, while an RFID model may use designated management credentials. NetCode products require the appropriate code-generation and administration arrangements.

When specifying a system, establish who is authorised to administer the locks, how forgotten access will be handled and how credentials or codes will be changed when lockers are reassigned.

Keep the correct programming instructions for each model and version. Using procedures intended for a different KitLock model can result in incorrect settings or operational problems.

KitLock batteries, servicing and emergency access

The electronic KitLock models described in this guide use batteries rather than requiring a separate mains power supply at each locker.

Battery life depends on the specific model, usage and operating conditions. Follow the published battery specification and respond to any low-battery warning before the lock becomes difficult to operate.

Some models provide an external battery-power facility for authorised recovery. The precise arrangement differs between products and should be checked against the correct manufacturer instructions.

For general information about battery-powered locking systems, read our Electronic Locker Locks UK guide.

Codelocks KitLock suitability for wet and humid environments

Electronic locker locks may be used in leisure facilities, but suitability depends on the precise product specification, gasket arrangement and installation conditions.

The published documents for selected KitLock models specify ingress-protection ratings when the appropriate gasket is installed. These ratings apply under defined test conditions and should not be interpreted as approval for submersion, direct shower exposure or every poolside location.

For swimming pools, spas and other humid environments, confirm the exact lock version, required ingress protection, cleaning conditions and compatibility with the locker material before ordering.

Codelocks KitLock applications

Different KitLock models suit different locker management requirements.

• Workplaces: assigned staff lockers, changing rooms and shared storage.
• Schools and universities: student lockers with managed keypad or RFID access.
• Gyms and leisure centres: public-use lockers for changing users.
• Healthcare facilities: suitable staff lockers and non-specialist storage cabinets.
• Temporary-access applications: NetCode arrangements for time-limited access.

Where the requirement is straightforward and there is little benefit from electronic access, a conventional keyed cam lock, hasp lock or mechanical combination lock may remain a practical alternative.

Information needed when ordering KitLock replacements

For replacement or new-installation enquiries, the following information will help establish an appropriate model and configuration.

1. Existing KitLock or locker manufacturer and model number, if known.
2. Number of lockers and intended installation location.
3. Photographs of the existing lock, door and rear fixing arrangement.
4. Door material, thickness and mounting dimensions.
5. Preferred access method: keypad, RFID or NetCode.
6. Private-use, public-use or temporary time-limited access requirement.
7. Any existing card, fob or wristband system that must be supported.
8. Required administration, override and recovery procedures.
9. Wet-area, humidity or cleaning requirements.

Total Locker Service can use these details to help identify a suitable product or determine which additional measurements are required.
