Need to change the combination on Unican simplex 1011, but don't have the override key. Can I still change the combination? I know the current combination, if that is an issue.

Look for a small hole in the side of the spindle, close to the lock. Poke a stiff wire into the hole to release the inside handle.

You will find a link to download the manual for your model on this page:

http://www.kaba-ilco.com/access_control/literature/literature_grid_mechanical_pushbutton_locks.aspx?id=13

Hover your mouse over "PDF" under the "TIPS" column and the two choices of "Changing the Code/Combination" or "How to Reset a Lost or Unknown Combination" will appear--move your mouse over the appropriate one and click to download the info.

These are PDF files, requiring Adobe Reader to open. There is a link on the same page to download Adobe reader, if the file will not display for you.

Good luck--and please provide feedback if this helps!

"If your lock is opening on every turn of the knob or lever, except upon entering a code, this may be a ZERO CODE. Before attempting to remove the lock from the door, refer to the troubleshooting procedures outlined at bottom of this document for a zero code symptom/solution

Solution: Follow the procedure for changing a combination except omit step 3 (do not enter
the existing combination)."

I excerpted the above from the full instructions on how to change the code. If you don't have them, got to this link:

http://www.kaba-ilco.com/access_control/literature/literature_grid_mechanical_pushbutton_locks.aspx?id=13

and go across from L1000 to the last column, "Tips".
When you hover your mouse over PDF, two choices will appear; left click on the upper one, "Changing the code/..." to download it.
The download will be a PDF file format. If you are unable to open it, you will need to download and install Adobe Reader on your computer. There is a link (Get Adobe Reader) at the top right of the literature grid.
When you do get the download open, you will have the stepwise procedure and illustrations necessary-but don't forget to omit Step 3, if you believe that you have the ZERO code problem!
