Dormakaba EE1011/EE101126D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Dormakaba Simplex EE1000 back-to-back lock used for?
This mechanical pushbutton lock provides keyless entry and egress on both sides of the door. Common applications include office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and commercial spaces requiring secure access control without batteries or wiring.
2) What door thickness does this lock accommodate?
The EE1000 series typically fits standard commercial door thicknesses from 1-3/4" to 2-1/4". Verify exact specifications with the manufacturer template before installation to ensure proper fit.
3) How do I determine the correct handing for this lock?
Stand outside the door (secure side). If hinges are on the right and door swings away, specify right-hand reverse bevel. If hinges are left and door swings toward you, specify left-hand. Consult the manufacturer's handing chart for verification.
4) What finish options are available for the EE1000 series?
Dormakaba Simplex locks typically come in satin chrome, dark bronze, and bright brass finishes. Specific finish availability may vary by model. Check product specifications or contact us to confirm finish options for your application.
5) What grade rating does this mechanical lock have?
Dormakaba Simplex locks are typically ANSI Grade 1 rated for commercial applications. This provides heavy-duty performance for high-traffic areas. Verify specific grade rating on the product data sheet for code compliance requirements.
6) How many combination codes can be programmed?
The EE1000 series allows multiple combination codes to be set. Each side can have independent codes programmed. Code length is typically 2-6 digits. Refer to the programming instructions for exact capacity and setup procedures.

Standard package includes the lock body, both knob assemblies, latch, strike plate, mounting hardware, and installation template. Additional accessories like extended faceplates or special strikes may be ordered separately as needed.
8) What tools are needed for installation?
Installation requires standard locksmith tools including hole saw or boring jig, chisel, screwdrivers, and drill bits. Door preparation follows ANSI A115 series standards. Use the manufacturer's template for precise hole locations.
9) How do I maintain the mechanical pushbutton mechanism?
Clean buttons regularly with mild soap and water. Lubricate internal mechanisms every 6 months with manufacturer-approved lubricant. Check button operation and code functionality monthly. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
10) Can this replace a standard cylindrical lock?
Yes, this lock fits standard ANSI cylindrical lock preparations with 2-1/8" cross bore and 1" edge bore. The back-to-back configuration allows both sides to have pushbutton entry, replacing conventional keyed entry locks.

Related models include the EE1000 entrance-only version and mortise versions of the Simplex series. Browse our Dormakaba selection for compatible mechanical locks and access control hardware.
