General NoKey Force – Installing and Operating
4
General
NoKey force is a battery-operated code lock that easily complements existing lock casings and
handles with the option to control entry access using codes.
To unlock and permit access, enter a pre-programmed code. When a valid code is entered, a distinct
click is heard, the green LED illuminates (and if activated, a brief beep is also heard) and the door
can be opened by pushing down the handle.
From the inside, the door is opened by pushing down the handle in the normal way.
Ensure that doors with electric locking can also be unlocked mechanically.
Emergency power is provided via a 9-volt battery connected to contacts on the underside of the
external unit. This option is intended for use if the unit’s normal AA batteries are entirely spent. All
codes will work in this mode.
The codes also remain when batteries are changed.

Recommendation: Download the
information sheet Låshus per modell (in
Swedish) from RCO:s website! The info
sheet uses a matrix to illustrate suitable lock
housings for each NoKey model. Some lock
housings require a butterfly adapter to
prevent the knob pin from jamming.
1Installed in combination with approved round cylinders on the inside and outside of the door. Small knob on the
inside. Always locked when you leave, even if the cylinder lock is not used. Suitable for houses and apartments.
A butterfly adapter is recommended
with this type of cylinder,
particularly if the door is thick

NoKey Force – Installing and Operating Installing NoKey force with round cylinders

Installing NoKey force with round cylinders
When installing NoKey force KC02 or KC03 together with a round cylinder, there is nothing fixing
the unit’s upper section to the door leaf, as with the cylinder ring when installing with an oval
cylinder. The unit is therefore fitted with two ‘barbs’ which fix the upper section to the lock cylinder
and door leaf.
First ensure that the lock cylinder with the correct
cylinder extender is fitted
but can still move
towards the lock housing. When installing NoKey
force, tighten the lower screws (by the handle) so
that the unit is fixed to the door leaf.
Then continue with the Allen screws (2.5mm)
which activate the ‘barbs.’ Ensure that the unit is
not pulled up/down or sideways by the ‘barbs.’
This can lead to the handle sticking, as the square
pin then pinches against the lock housing. There is
negligible risk of this happening if the lock cylinder
can still move against the lock housing.
Ensure correct function by tightening the Allen
screws clockwise in turn (upper – lower/right –
left) whilst feeling to check the handle on the inside
is not sticking.
When the unit is close to the door leaf, check that
the lower screws are sufficiently tight. Then finally
fully tighten the lock cylinder.

Checking the placement of the lock housing NoKey Force – Installing and Operating
6
1 Checking the placement of the lock housing; altering the length
of the square pin
This section ensures that a good mechanical function is achieved, regardless of the NoKey model.
Note: If the door leaf is 39 mm or thinner, a spacer plate must be fitted to the rear of the inner
unit. To be ordered from RCO Security (item no 20 180 815). Hold it against the door leaf when
placing the gauge and defining the length of the square pin.
1.1
Insert the square pin with the rounded
end towards the lock housing.
1.2
Use the included gauge.
Check that the square pin runs easily
through the gauge and lock housing.
If not, the handle hole must be
adjusted – see page 8.
1.3
Push the square pin in to the lock
housing.
Make a mark on the square pin at the
level of the gauge.
Inside of door

1.4
Cut the square pin to the correct length
as per the mark.
Make sure the cut is at a right angle.
Smooth off the cut face with a suitable
tool.
1.5
After cutting, check with the gauge
again. The end of the square pin should
be between the inner and outer edges of
the gauge.
If the end of the square pin sticks out
from the outer edge of the gauge, the
lock will stick.

Adjusting the handle hole and/or recess for the lock housing NoKey Force – Installing and Operating

2 Adjusting the handle hole and/or recess for the lock housing
If the gauge does not go into the handle hole, or if there is not enough space for the cable, the
necessary adjustments will have to be made.
2.1
Loosen and remove the lock housing.
Save the screws for later re-installation.
2.2
File the hole so that the cabling has
space and the gauge fits without
tension. Then re-install the lock
housing.
Now continue by adapting the unit for a
left-hinged door (see next page) or on the
following page, depending on the model:

KC03: page 16
KC02: page 23

3 Adapting for left-hinged doors
The lock is set for right-hinged doors. Use the following process to adapt it for left-hinged doors.
3.1
The repositioning is achieved on the
outer unit by turning the handle and
lock mechanism.
Remove the two screws (Torx T25) that
hold the mechanism in place. Save them
for later re-installation.
3.2 Turn t
he mechanism round 180 degrees
without
lifting it, so that the handle ends
up in the right direction.
Keep the mechanism pressed down
the entire time!
3.3
Replace the screws and tighten them.
Now continue on the following page,
depending on the model:

This describes the installation of an outer unit without lock cylinder together with an inner unit
without a knob.
For installation of NoKey force KC03 go to page 16, for KC02 go to page 23!
To simplify the process for the installer, the lock is always unlocked until it is in operation.
4.1
Thread the cabling from the outer unit
through the door under the lock
housing.
Ensure there is enough space. If not,
adjustments must be made –
see page 8.
4.2
Insert a lock screw in one of the upper
holes to temporarily secure the outer
unit.
4.3
Loosen and remove the cover from the
inner unit.

If the door is thinner than 39 mm, a
spacer plate is needed on the rear of the
inner unit (see page 6.)
The spacer plate is screwed on to the
rear of the inner unit with the
accompanying screw (Torx T15).
4.5
Insert the square pin into the inner unit,
with the rounded end facing outwards.
Select the correct hex pin and insert it
past the square pin, turn it back and
forth a few times and ensure that it
grips in the mechanism.

must compensate for the thickness of
the cover (17 mm) with a suitable
cylinder extender.
Fit the lock cylinder and extender to
the lock housing.
4.12
Before the cylinder ring can be fitted,
the correct length screws must be
defined:
AFirst insert the tension plate into the
cylinder hole. Then insert the
screws to be used through the
tension plate and lock housing and
screw them in so that they go into
the cylinder ring.
