Overview
A facility manager securing a staff room or classroom door gets a pushbutton lock that works without batteries or wiring. A lever handle mounts on a cylindrical body, with a floating face plate and a key override behind it.
Pushbutton entry means no key hand-out to every user, and the metal body is made for commercial wear. The core is not part of the package and the listing names handing, so a left hand door needs a different model.
Who it's for
Maintenance teams fitting mechanical access control to interior commercial or institutional doors. Residential buyers wanting a simple keyed handle, or anyone on a left hand door, should look at other locks.
Pros and cons
- No batteries or wiring needed
- Key override for staff access
- Floating face plate
- Satin chrome metal finish
- Cylinder core not included
- Right hand only
- Door thickness range not listed
- Listed weight looks like a data error
Performance notes
A pushbutton code releases the latch mechanically, and the key override lets authorized staff in when the code is forgotten or changed. A floating face plate helps the trim sit flat against the door during fitting, and the backset has to match the door preparation.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to install the Kaba Simplex L1000 lock?
The door needs to match the 70mm backset, and you must supply the cylinder core, which is not included. The listing names Medeco, ASSA, Yale and Abloy cores in 5 or 6 pin length.
Is the Simplex L1000 electronic?
No. It is a mechanical pushbutton lock, with no battery or wiring and a key override.
Will the L1000 fit a left hand door?
The listing says right hand, so a left hand door would need a different handing.
