Manufactured by Kaba, Simplex locks are known for durability, code-only access, and zero electronic components. If you're looking for a dependable lock that doesn’t rely on batteries or Wi-Fi, Simplex is an ideal solution. Our locksmiths in Round Rock provide same-day service for Simplex installations, code resets, and mechanical upgrades.

Why Using Simplex Locks

Simplex locks offer secure, mechanical keyless entry with no batteries, software, or electronics. They are ideal for environments that demand reliability, such as utility closets, server rooms, gates, breakrooms, and secure offices.

With their push-button interface, Simplex locks allow quick access via a user-set PIN code. You can change the code without removing the lock from the door, and some models include optional key override or passage mode functions.

Popular with businesses in Round Rock, Simplex locks reduce the risk of lost keys and eliminate the need for electrical maintenance. They're highly durable, weather-resistant, and compliant with commercial door hardware standards.

Simplex Lock Rekey

While Simplex locks are primarily code-operated, many models include an optional key override cylinder. If your Simplex lock has this feature, we can rekey the cylinder to match your master key system or a new key set.

Rekeying is useful after staff changes or if the key override has been compromised. Pricing typically ranges from $35 to $60 per cylinder, and we can perform this on-site throughout Round Rock.

Smart vs Mechanical Access Comparison

Unlike smart locks that rely on apps, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, Simplex locks are completely mechanical. This eliminates concerns about batteries dying, hacking, or signal interference. Your building stays secure even during a power outage.

Simplex locks are ideal for entry points that need controlled access but don’t require audit trails or smartphone integration. If you're seeking access logs, scheduling, or remote control, you may prefer a smart lock. But for simplicity, durability, and zero-maintenance security, Simplex locks are unbeatable.

We help clients choose between smart and mechanical locks based on their specific needs, environment, and risk profile.

Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith

Simplex locks require precise installation for correct latch alignment, security, and smooth operation. Incorrect installation can lead to malfunction, stuck buttons, or security failure.

Lock Change Round Rock technicians are trained to install and reset Simplex locks properly, including adjusting for metal or wooden doors, backset conversions, and code setting. We also include a 6-month warranty on all parts and labor.
