CL500 - 2018 Code Change
Instructions
Many codes to choose from
The CL500 code chamber (CL500, CL510, CL520) consists of 11 buttons from which the code is selected,
and a ‘C’ button which is used to re-set the chamber after an incorrect entry, and which must always be
used as the first digit of a code. Buttons may only be used ONCE in a code. For example, 1212 is not
possible.
A CL500 code, or combination, can be entered in any order or sequence; e.g. 1234 can be 4321 or 1342 or
whatever sequence is most convenient to remember. With 11 buttons, a total of 2,047 different codes are
available, any of which can be entered in any sequence.
The total is arrived at as follows:

Most people will set a code in the range of 4 to 7 digits, and the total number of codes in this range is
1,584.
The lock is factory set with a randomly selected 5 digit code starting with the C button. The code is not
recorded by the factory. The code can be changed as often as required to any other 5 digit code. Every new
code must start with the C button. Using the spare tumblers, the code length can be changed to 4 or 6
digits. Shorter codes are possible, but 1 or 2 digit codes are not recommended.
Note:CL505, CL515 and CL525 have 10 coded buttons giving 1,023 different codes.

3. Remove the 4 red screws and carefully lift off the code chamber plate. Check that all 12 springs are held
in place on the plate.
