Unlocking the C150
To unlock the C150 Cabinet Hookbolt Lock, press the buttons for the numbers shown on the paper in any order. This will release
the knob and allow it to turn and unlock your door.
If you press a button that is not part of the combination or if you do not press a button that is part of your code, the C150 will
not open. To clear out a wrong button press, just turn the knob whichever way it will turn freely, then try again.
Changing the Code
If you want to change the combination, notice the lock has the numbers 0 through 9 plus the letters A&B. The combination you
use can be as few as 2 buttons or as many as 5 buttons. Here’s how to change the combination: Remove the two red screws,
then carefully remove the plate, noting there are springs mounted on the back of the plate. You will see 12 holes with red or
blue pins in them. Notice the red pins—they are the current combination. Note that all of the pins are set to the same depth.
IMPORTANT: while changing the combination you must continually hold the knob in the clear position (turn it the way it turns
the easiest as far as it will go). If you don’t, you could break the lock!
In the picture, notice each pin has a bump on it. Some of the holes have a matching cutout
towards the bottom of the lock, while others have the matching cutout towards the top of the
lock. To change the combination, move the pins around so your new combination has a red pin in
each hole, the rest of the holes have blue pins, and all pens have the bumps aligned with the
cutouts.
When inserted correctly, all pins should be at the same height below the top of the holes. If you
have one sticking out, it is probably inserted incorrectly, so take it out and rotate it a half turn (180
degrees). Then put it back.
When all the pins are setting inside the holes properly, put the cover plate back on and screw in
the red screws.
Testing Your New Code
Now, before you install the C150 on the door, make sure the combination works like this:
1. Turn the knob whichever way it will go easily to clear the code.
2. Enter the combination.
3. Then turn the thumb turn and make sure it will go the other way. If it doesn’t, clear the code and try to enter it again.
4. If it still doesn’t open, follow the directions above to remove the plate and look at each red pin to verify the
combination.
5. Once it is tested and working correctly, write down the number or letter next to it and keep it in a safe place. The
business card in your box has slots on the back side where you can write in your code.
Installing the C150 on a Door with Hinges
Please note that the C150 cannot be installed flush with the edge of your door, because that would cause the lock to keep the
door from closing. Instead, it needs to be installed a short distance from the edge.
Determining exactly where to install the C150 on your door is easy. Just take one of the black plastic shims and a pencil and go
outside. Close the door securely. Place the black plastic shim on the door frame next to the molding so there is a small gap
between the shim and the molding, say the thickness of a quarter. Make sure the shim is straight, and then mark the three
holes. Then, drill three 5/16” holes where marked.
