Pertanyaan umum tentang COMPX REGULATOR dari 3G Electric.
What latch types are available for COMPX REGULATOR electronic keyless locks?
COMPX REGULATOR electronic keyless locks are available with two primary latch types: cam latch and deadlatch. Cam latch models, such as SKU 45KF54 (MPN REG-M-R-3-BLK), use a rotating cam to secure the door, suitable for cabinets where a simple turn-to-lock mechanism is sufficient. Deadlatch models, like SKU 45KF43 (MPN REG-S-V-3), incorporate a spring-loaded bolt that automatically locks when the door closes, providing a more secure engagement for lockers or cabinets requiring self-latching. Both types are designed for standard cabinet or locker door thicknesses and are available in multiple handing configurations.
What finishes are offered for COMPX REGULATOR locks?
COMPX REGULATOR electronic keyless locks are offered in brushed nickel and black finishes. Brushed nickel models, such as SKU 45KF43 (MPN REG-S-V-3) and SKU 45KF49 (MPN REG-S-V-5), provide a corrosion-resistant, satin-like appearance that blends with many commercial and institutional environments. Black finish models, like SKU 45KF54 (MPN REG-M-R-3-BLK) and SKU 45KF56 (MPN REG-S-V-5-BLK), offer a low-profile, matte appearance suitable for darker cabinetry or lockers. Both finishes are designed to withstand regular use and cleaning in indoor settings.
How many buttons does the COMPX REGULATOR keypad have?
The COMPX REGULATOR electronic keyless lock keypad features 12 buttons. This includes digits 0-9 plus two additional function buttons, typically used for programming and user code entry. The 12-button layout allows for multiple user codes, often up to 100 or more depending on the model, enabling facility managers to assign unique codes to different personnel. The keypad is designed for durability with tactile feedback and is sealed to resist dust and moisture ingress, suitable for indoor use in environments like gyms, schools, and industrial facilities.
What are the body dimensions of COMPX REGULATOR electronic locks?
COMPX REGULATOR electronic keyless locks have a body height of approximately 1 1/2 inches and a body width of approximately 5 7/16 inches. These dimensions are consistent across the product line, as seen in SKUs like 45KF54 (cam latch) and 45KF56 (deadlatch). The compact size allows for installation on standard cabinet and locker doors without requiring significant modification. The lock body is designed to fit within the typical cutout dimensions for replacement locks, making retrofitting straightforward for maintenance teams.
Are COMPX REGULATOR locks battery-powered?
Yes, COMPX REGULATOR electronic keyless locks are battery-powered. They typically use standard alkaline batteries (e.g., 9V or AA, depending on the model) to operate the keypad and latch mechanism. The locks include a low-battery indicator, usually an LED or audible beep, to alert users when replacement is needed. Battery life varies with usage frequency but generally lasts several months to a year under normal conditions. The battery compartment is accessible from the interior side of the door for easy replacement without removing the lock.
Can COMPX REGULATOR locks be used on both left-hand and right-hand doors?
Yes, COMPX REGULATOR electronic keyless locks are available in both left-hand and right-hand handing configurations. For example, SKU 45KF52 (MPN REG-S-R-3-BLK) is a right-hand deadlatch model, while SKU 45KF53 (MPN REG-S-L-3-BLK) is a left-hand deadlatch model. The handing determines the orientation of the latch bolt and keypad for proper operation. When selecting a lock, it is important to match the handing to the door swing direction to ensure correct installation and function. 3G Electric provides SKU-level specifications to help identify the correct handing for each application.
