Simplex Locks Allen TX Rekey & Replacement (214)838-7730

If you want a keyless entry solution that combines simplicity, durability, and zero-maintenance operation—Simplex locks are the go-to choice for commercial, institutional, and residential applications. At Lock Change Allen, we provide professional Simplex lock change, installation, and service across Allen, Texas. Whether you're replacing a mechanical push-button lock or upgrading your office entry, our mobile locksmith team is trained to handle all models of Simplex hardware quickly and efficiently.


Why Using Simplex Locks

Simplex locks by Kaba (now dormakaba) are mechanical push-button locks designed for areas where keyless access is required and electronic locks are not ideal. They’re perfect for utility rooms, offices, storage areas, restricted staff zones, and even homes needing quick code-only entry.

They don’t require batteries or wiring, making them ideal for low-maintenance, always-ready access. The push-button interface is tamper-resistant, weather-resistant, and made for heavy use.

With models available for both cylindrical and mortise locksets, as well as for narrow stile aluminum doors, Simplex locks offer flexible configurations that fit virtually any commercial door type.

At Lock Change Allen, we install, repair, and reprogram all mechanical Simplex models with precision and speed.

Simplex Lock Rekey

While Simplex locks operate via a mechanical code, many models also include a key override feature. This key cylinder can be rekeyed for access control or in case of lost/stolen keys.

Our locksmiths can rekey the override cylinder to match your existing master key system or create a new key entirely. We handle Schlage, Best, and other compatible keyways built into Simplex models.

Rekeying costs typically range from $39–$69 depending on the override format and door hardware setup.

Smart Locks

Although Simplex locks are primarily mechanical, dormakaba does offer advanced electronic lines such as the E-Plex series for facilities that want keypad-based access with audit trails and multi-user codes.

Simplex remains popular for clients who want a simple, code-only lock with no electronics or connectivity. However, we also offer upgrade options to electronic push-button locks under the same brand for clients seeking more access control features.

We install both traditional Simplex and modern E-Plex smart systems, providing configuration, training, and maintenance on all models.

Do It Yourself VS Using Professional Locksmith

While Simplex locks are widely sold as "easy to install," the truth is their programming, door prep, and code-change process can be tricky. Incorrect installation can cause jamming, misalignment, or compromised security.

Our locksmiths ensure clean mounting, correct backset alignment, and fast code configuration changes without the risk of misprogramming. We also confirm door latch operation, strike alignment, and ADA compliance when needed.

All work is backed by a 6-month warranty on labor and any Simplex lock hardware we supply.
