Kaba/Ilco 4550 powerlever lock

Sep 22, 2004 Last reply: 21 years ago 5 Replies

Our security manager forgot the master user combination for a Kaba 4550 powerlever lock - and we need to add and delete users. No info available from the user handbook (it assumes you wrote down the mastere user combo and pin,and kept it safe somewhere, oops!).



Anyone got any ideas? We still can open the door with a regular user combo/pin, and if necessary can disassemble the lock. But how can we set it back to



0000/0000 without the master user combo/pin? Can you jumper the memory similar to wiping cmos on a computer?

TIA

Thanks, Key. I guess I will take one of the extras home over the weekend and play around with it - really hoped someone here could provide a little assist.

that is a question needs asking on Clearstar..

Thanks - will ask in the public forum section, since I'm not a member.

It probably won't get answered there either unless you can prove you're a locksmith.

You have to understand. What if you're not really someone who is allowed to have that code. We really have no way of knowing.

And before you go fiddling around with an expensive lock and fry the board.

I sympathize with your situation, but we really can't - in good conscience - give you information that would allow you to acquire a management code.

You could try contacting KABA. If they give out the information, it's on them. My guess is, they'll recommend you call a *qualified* locksmith who will be able to verify your eligibility to receive the information you're requesting
