Frequently Asked Questions
Can the CDL2 deadbolt fit a smaller bore hole?
Yes. The CDL2 deadbolt fits a standard 54mm (2-1/8") bore, or a smaller 38mm (1-1/2") bore by removing the adapter collar with a flat-head screwdriver. Confirm your door bore size before ordering.
Can the CDL2 deadbolt use a restricted or TES5 keyway?
No. The CDL2 deadbolt uses the LKW5 (Silca LW4) keyway and cannot be fitted with a restricted or TES5 keyway. For restricted keying, see the CEL or CEL2 range (C4 keyway).
What is the difference between single-use codes and user codes?
User codes (up to 10) can be used multiple times. Single-use codes (up to 5, 4 digits only) are deleted automatically after a single use — useful for one-time tradesperson or delivery access.
What batteries does this lock use?
The CDL2 deadbolt uses 4 × AA alkaline batteries (Duracell Procell recommended). Low battery warning via indicator light before full depletion.
My door is not within 35–51mm thick or 60–70mm backset — will this lock fit?
This lock requires 35–51mm door thickness and 60–70mm backset. Outside these ranges it is not compatible. See: Buyers Guide Ch02: Measuring Your Door · How to measure your backset
Additional Information
The CDL2 deadbolt ships with an adapter collar for the standard 54mm bore. To install in a 38mm bore, simply remove the adapter collar with a flat-head screwdriver. Confirm your bore size before ordering. See: The realities of electronic door locks
The CDL2 deadbolt uses the LKW5 (Silca LW4) keyway and cannot be fitted with a restricted or TES5 keyway. If restricted keying is required, see the CEL or CEL2 range (C4 keyway). Using a deadbolt on a fire-rated door? Deadbolts, peepholes and fire rated doors
My CDL2 deadbolt is not locking or unlocking correctly after installation — what should I check?
Make sure the bolt is in the retracted position before installing the exterior assembly, there is no key in the cylinder during installation, and the torque blade is inserted horizontally. After installation, enter the default programming code (123456) to allow the lock to determine bolt direction and complete setup.
