Battery Override Cap for KL1000 Series
If batteries no longer power your KitLock, a 9 Volt Battery (USA & CAN) held to the terminals will allow power to transfer from the battery to the lock while you insert the code.
For the rare occasion this procedure is required, Codelocks developed the “Cap” to enable an even easier transfer especially on horizontal mounted locks.

Codelocks BC1000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Codelocks BC1000 battery override cap actually do?
The BC1000 is a plastic cap that holds a 9 volt battery against the external terminals of a KitLock KL1000 Series lock so power transfers to the lock while you key in the code. You can do the same job by hand, holding the battery to the terminals, but the cap holds it steady for you, which matters most on horizontally mounted locks where a hand-held battery keeps slipping off the contacts.
2) Does a 9 volt battery come with the Codelocks BC1000 cap?
No. The BC1000 is the cap alone. You supply the 9 volt battery it holds against the terminals, so keep one in the maintenance cart or at the front desk alongside the cap, or the cap does nothing when a lock goes dead.
3) Should a facility keep a battery override cap on hand for KitLock cabinet locks, or just replace batteries on a schedule?
Both, and they solve different problems. Scheduled battery changes prevent the lockout; the BC1000 gets you into the cabinet or locker on the day one slips through anyway. For a locker room or gym with a wall of KL1000 locks, one cap in the office covers the whole run, since the same cap works on any KL1000 in the fleet. Codelocks describes the override procedure as a rare occasion item, so this is a contingency tool rather than something you buy per door.
4) Can the Codelocks BC1000 override cap be left mounted outdoors on an exterior locker or gate?
No. Codelocks rates the cap as suitable for internal use, and it is plastic. Keep it indoors, in a toolbox or at a service desk, and carry it to the lock when you need it rather than storing it exposed to weather.
5) Does using the battery override cap wipe the codes on a KitLock KL1000?
The cap only carries power. It holds a 9 volt battery to the lock's terminals long enough for you to enter the existing code and open it, so you get in with the code already programmed. The cap does not open the lock on its own, which means a dead battery is not a way around the code for anyone who finds one.
6) Is the Codelocks BC1000 a commercial grade part or a consumer accessory?
Codelocks classes the BC1000 as commercial. It is the service accessory for KL1000 keypad locks in commercial installs, lockers, cabinets and staff storage, and it is stocked as a maintenance item rather than sold with the lock.
7) How many versions of the Codelocks battery override cap are there?
One. The cap is sold as a single model, BC1000, with no finish, size or handing options to specify. Order the part and you have the only configuration Codelocks makes for the KL1000 Series.
