CL255 Tubular Latch with Key Override

Premium light duty mechanical lock with mortise latch and key override option.

The CL255 is a light duty lock that utilizes a tubular latch. The latch is spring loaded and will latch automatically when the door is closed. The deadlocking plunger on the latchbolt prevents the latch from being shimmed open. The slide button on the backplate of the lock can be used to hold the latchbolt in a retracted position. When in use with the latchbolt retracted, the door will not latch and can be opened without requiring a code to be entered. If use of the holdback feature is not desired, it can be disabled when the lock is installed on the door.

Codelocks CL255K SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order the Codelocks CL255 for a left hand or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The CL255 is non handed, so one part number works on either swing, and a property manager stocking spares only has to carry one lock.
2) Can I get into the Codelocks CL255 if someone forgets the code?
Yes, the CL255K version includes key override, so a manager or maintenance tech can key in without the combination. The keypad side holds a single code with 8,191 non sequential combinations available, and the locks can be supplied keyed alike so one override key covers a run of doors.
3) Can I leave a door unlocked during business hours with the Codelocks CL255?
That is what the holdback is for. A slide button on the backplate holds the latchbolt retracted, so the door pushes open free without a code, which suits an office or classroom that stays open through the day and locks down after hours. If you do not want staff or students using it, the holdback can be disabled at installation.
4) Is the Codelocks CL255 strong enough for a main entrance or high traffic door?
No. The CL255 is rated light duty with a light duty tubular latch and a zinc alloy case. It fits interior offices, storerooms, nurseries, care homes and similar moderate traffic openings. For a main entry or an abused opening, step up to a Grade 1 deadbolt such as the Dexter DB1000 or Corbin Russwin DL3011.
5) I do not need code entry - what is a simpler keyed lock to use instead of the Codelocks CL255?
If a single code is more than the opening needs, a keyed deadbolt covers it. The Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter DB2000-SCT is a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. Both are key-and-turn only, so every user carries a key; the CL255 gives coded entry from the outside with the key held in reserve as an override.
6) How do you change the code on a Codelocks CL200 series mechanical lock?
Code changes on the CL255 are made with tumblers, off the door, meaning the lock has to come off the door to reset the combination. Plan a few minutes per opening when rotating codes across a building. There is no battery or programming involved; the 14 stainless steel keypad buttons are arranged 2 x 7 and the mechanism is fully mechanical.
7) Can the Codelocks CL255 be used on an exterior door?
Yes, it is listed as suitable for internal and external use, and the marine grade black finish is the one to pick for coastal or wash down exposure. The standard option is stainless steel.
8) Will the CL255 latch on its own when the door closes, or does someone have to lock it?
It self latches. The tubular latch is spring loaded and catches as soon as the door shuts, so a storeroom or office door is secure without anyone turning anything. A deadlocking plunger on the latchbolt blocks shimming with a card or shim.
9) Should I use a keypad lock like the Codelocks CL255 or a standard keyed deadbolt?
Pick the CL255 when you want to stop issuing keys, for example a shared storeroom, a nursery, or a hotel back of house door where turnover makes rekeying costly. It is code entry with a key override and holdback. If the opening just needs a secondary bolt above an existing knob or lever, a conventional deadbolt is simpler and cheaper, such as the Cal-Royal CB160 Grade 2 single cylinder or the Hager 3215 with a 1 inch throw.
10) What is the difference between the Codelocks CL255 and an electronic keypad deadbolt?
The CL255 is purely mechanical, with 14 buttons and a tumbler code change, so there are no batteries to replace and no power to fail, but it stores one code for all users. If you need per user codes, audit or remote credentials, that is an electronic lock such as the Delaney KP400 Grade 2 electronic deadbolt or the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D RFID deadbolt.
11) I need free egress with no code on the inside - what works better than the Codelocks CL255 on an exit door?
The CL255 latches automatically when the door closes and has a holdback slide that keeps the latchbolt retracted for open periods, with key override for entry. If the opening needs a thumbturn-only inside and no keyed outside trim at all, the Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock with blank plate outside and thumbturn inside for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. That configuration gives no outside entry at all, where the CL255 is meant to admit coded users from outside.
12) We key everything to an interchangeable core - is there a deadbolt that takes SFIC where the Codelocks CL255 does not?
The CL255 is a mechanical code lock offered with a key override and is available keyed alike across an order. For small format interchangeable core programs, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock supplied with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset prepped for interchangeable core. Those two fold into an existing core system; the CL255 adds coded entry that neither offers.
13) Does the Codelocks CL255 mount horizontally or vertically on the door?
Vertical orientation, with a hexagonal bevelled handle and lock case and a dual backplate. Worth checking against narrow stile or glass framed doors before committing, since the case runs up and down the door rather than across it.
14) For a coastal property, is the Codelocks CL255 the right pick or should I look at a bronze or brass deadbolt?
The CL255 is built from zinc alloy and comes in stainless steel and a black marine grade finish, with stainless steel buttons on the keypad, and it is suited to internal and external doors. If a decorative solid metal body is preferred, the Emtek #11 Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn and the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc is a brass double cylinder deadbolt. Those are keyed trim options; the CL255 keeps coded entry with the marine grade finish choice.
