Full Product Description

The dormakaba Simplex 7102 Mechanical Pushbutton Deadbolt provides reliable keyless access without batteries, electrical wiring, software or electronic credentials. Authorized users enter the programmed combination and rotate the exterior thumbturn to retract the 1" deadbolt. From the interior, the thumbturn permits unrestricted operation without entering the combination.

The Simplex 7102 is the 2-3/4" backset deadbolt model in the Simplex 7100 Series. It is commonly installed as a primary lock or as an auxiliary lock above an existing cylindrical or mortise lock.

Unlike an automatically relocking latch, the 7102 deadbolt remains retracted after authorized entry and must be manually extended to secure the door again. The interior thumbturn controls both retraction and extension of the deadbolt. This makes the 7102 particularly useful for applications where the user wants deliberate control over when the opening is locked.

Because the Simplex 7102 is completely mechanical, it operates without batteries, electricity, wiring, access cards, software, computers or network connectivity. It remains operational during power and network outages while eliminating battery-replacement and electronic maintenance expenses.

The lock stores one shared access combination. The combination can use one or more of the five buttons, pressed individually or simultaneously, to create thousands of possible combinations. Authorized personnel can change the combination from the interior without removing the complete lock from the door.

Heavy-duty construction includes an all-metal cast exterior housing, vandal-resistant solid-metal pushbuttons and a force-resistant, clutch-protected exterior thumbturn. The clutch helps protect the internal mechanism if someone attempts to force the exterior thumbturn without entering the correct combination.

The 7102 installs on wood or metal doors from 1-3/8" through 2-1/4" thick and requires a minimum 4" door stile. It is field reversible for left-hand, right-hand and reverse-bevel door applications.

The lock is weather resistant for appropriate indoor or outdoor installations and is available in multiple plated and powder-coated finishes. Manufacturer specifications

7102 vs. 7108

The Simplex 7102 and 7108 use the same basic mechanical deadbolt function. Their primary difference is backset.

Measure the door’s backset before ordering. Backset is measured from the edge of the door to the centerline of the lock.

The 7102 is sometimes referred to in the market as a Simplex Shabbos lock or mechanical Shabbat combination lock.
