actuator to engage the passage function.

D-1 Prior to installing the passage actuator, hold the

chosen actuator housing in one hand, and with the
other hand, rotate the key cylinder or knob

d

counterclockwise until it stops. If the key cylinder
actuator is used, withdraw the key, which will lock
the cylinder in this position (a detent in the turn
knob locks the cylinder).

D-2 Insert the key cylinder or turn knob assembly (a or b) into the opening

on the inside unit assembly (c). Upon completion, the arrow of the turn
knob should be pointing to the left, or the dot on the face of the key
cylinder actuator should be on the left.

degrees clockwise so that the arrow (knob) is pointing
up or the dot (key cylinder) is at the top.

Note: Leave the actuator set in this position for installation
(if key cylinder is used, remove the key at this point).

Note: The tailpiece of the passage actuator is scored on several places to
allow you to easily break off the section that extends beyond the required
length to engage the passage set cam.

with the mating part. Turn wrench counter­clockwise (using minimal force) approximately 90
degrees, until it clicks. Return wrench to initial position.
Remove wrench and replace torx screw.

M-4 **This Step Is Very Important** Rotate lever/ knob (d)

once, and only once to clear the old combination; the latch

(e) will retract; release the lever/knob.

M-5 Press in your new combination (b) followed by the

ENTER button (c) and release.

M-6 Rotate the lever/knob (d) to verify that the latch (e) retracts

confirming the validity of the new combination (if you try the

old combination now, it should not work).

IMPORTANT: The “ENTER” button must be depressed and released after
entering the combination. The latch will not retract until the “ENTER”
button is depressed and released.

Caution: Check the operation of the latch by making sure that the

deadlatch (a) stops against the strike (b) as shown and does not slide into
the strike opening when the door is closed. If that situation occurs, then a
total lockout may occur. This will cancel our warranty of the complete lock
mechanism. If necessary, correct the door over-travel by using the rubber
bumpers as described in Section N (Installing Rubber Bumpers).

the deadlatch (a) rests on the strike plate (b) as
shown. Standing on the frame (door stop) side of
the door, check for gaps between the door and
the frame on the three sides of the frame (left,

⁄16" (5 mm). Make sure these locations are free
from grease and dust. Peel the bumpers (c)
(supplied) from their protective backing without
touching the adhesive surface and stick them on

the marked locations.

Note: Allow 24 hours for adhesive to set before testing.
The door may be operated normally during this time.

O. HOW TO RESET A LOST OR

UNKNOWN COMBINATION

There is no way to determine a forgotten, unknown or lost combination code
from the front or outside of the lock. However, it can be reset and recovered
or reset and changed to a new code by following the steps in this section.

Warning: Since this procedure is of a technical nature, only technically trained
personnel in the lock and hardware field should undertake this operation. For
further assistance, call the Kaba Access Control technical support line at

800-849-TECH (8324) or 336-725-1331 between 8AM and 5PM Eastern
Standard Time, Monday through Friday (except holidays).

O-1 Removing Lock From Door

Remove both the outside unit assembly (a) and the
inside unit assembly (b). (Reverse procedures from
sections E and F of this manual.)

O-2 Removing Combination Chamber Assembly

Carefully remove the base plate of outside unit
assembly (a) by removing the 2 Phillips screws (one screw
may be found under an inspection sticker).

Remove the combination chamber assembly (b) from the
base plate by removing the 2 Phillips screws (c).

e

Remove the 3-sided dust cover (d) to fully
expose the chamber by removing 2 small
Phillips screws (e). (May be 1 screw (x) in
newer models)

O-3 Resetting and Recovery of Current Code

To reset the code gears (a), each one of the 5 “L” shaped
legs (b) of the unlocking slide (c) must engage snugly
with the corresponding code gear pocket (d) next to it.

e

b

i

a

Position the chamber in one hand, as
shown. Hold chamber by the top screw tab
(e) and bottom screw tab (f).

h

Rotate the reset cam (g) back toward you

d

a

c

j

with your finger, towards the key stems (h) as far as it will
go and then release. Now look at the code gears (a) and
the unlocking slide (c). Note that some or all 5 of the code

b

c

g

gear pockets (d) are rotated away from the “L” shaped

j

f

legs (b) as if out of alignment. Typically each code gear
pocket will be at a slightly different distance compared to
the other.

Note: Sometimes two different gear pockets are away from alignment by
exactly the same distance – this indicates that the current code uses two
different number buttons (example, 2 and 4) depressed at the same time

as part of the code combination.

Using a small flat blade screw driver or your thumbnail, depress the key
stem which corresponds to the gear pocket which has been rotated the
farthest away (out of alignment) from the “L” shaped leg. When
depressed, the key stem(s) should stay down and the corresponding
gear pocket(s) should move closer to its corresponding “L” leg, closer to
alignment. Record the key stem number. This is the first number of your
combination.

b

Note: If two gear pockets are at the same distance, depress
both of these corresponding key stems at the same time.

Continue by pressing the key stem that corresponds to the gear pocket
that was the next furthest away (do not include gear pockets that have
already been rotated). Record each key stem number that is depressed.
Continue this procedure until all five gear pockets are aligned with their
corresponding “L” shaped legs on the unlocking slide. The combination
is the recorded numbers, in the order recorded.

Note: If you depress the wrong key stem by mistake, rotate the reset cam
back toward you, (toward the key stems and release). This resets the code

c

gears and you must repeat the above procedure, O-3.

O-4 Clearing the Current Code and Setting a New Code

Note: Align the code gear pockets with the “L” shaped legs.

Depress the code change button (i) located on top
of the combination chamber once and release.

i

Rotate the reset cam back toward you with your finger
(toward the key stems) as far as it will go and release.

a

Enter your new combination code by depressing the
key stem corresponding to the first number (1 through

5) of your code. For example, if the new code is 3-2-5,
then you would depress 3 first, then 2 and finally 5.
Record this new combination code for future reference.

c

f

Push the shoulder (j) at the bottom of the Unlocking slide up toward the
code change button and release. If each of the 5 “L” shaped legs of the
unlocking slide engages snugly inside its corresponding code gear
pocket, then it confirms that the new code has been successfully
changed. Rotate the reset cam (g) back toward you and release.

Note: If all 5 “L” shaped legs do not align fully with their corresponding
code gear pockets, repeat the procedures O-3 and O-4.

O-5 Reinstalling chamber assembly into lock and retesting

Reinstall the 3-sided dust cover over the combination chamber with the
2 small Phillips screws removed. (May be 1 screw in newer models)
Reinstall the combination chamber assembly to the base plate with the
2 Phillips screws removed.

Reinstall the base plate on to the outside lock assembly with the 2
Phillips

screws removed. Make sure all parts have been reinstalled correctly.

O-6 Reinstall lock on door by following the procedures in Sections E and F

of this manual.

O-7 Retest new code with lock on door by entering the new numbers

followed by the “ENTER” button and rotating the outside lever/knob.
The lock should open and the latch should retract.
