Codelocks launches new KitLockNano boasting modern design and intuitive control

Enschede, NL, 26 November 2025 – Codelocks launches its KitLockNano, a redefined compact lock, engineered with a stronger build and smarter design. The upgraded lock delivers improved performance and functionality in the same ultra-small footprint as the original, while including a key override for complete control in any situation. Ideal for lockers, cabinets, and drawers, the KitLockNano addresses the growing demand for modern, reliable access control in environments like workplaces, sports facilities, and hotels.

“In redesigning the lock, we’ve improved its everyday usability and strength, while keeping it in the same ultra-compact footprint. It’s been a complete overhaul in its construction,” said Steve Newman, Codelocks European Regional Director.

“Thanks to this, KitLockNano delivers exactly what European businesses are looking for. Sophisticated design combined with practical functionality, robustness, and smarter features. This lock works seamlessly across different environments, from corporate offices to hotels to health spas, while giving organisations the flexibility they need through its private and public functions and key override feature.”

The KitLockNano’s Private Function allows repeated use of the same code for dedicated users, while the Public Function enables temporary four-digit codes that automatically erase after use. A red/blue LED indicator provides an at-a-glance locked/unlocked status.

“Locker arrays, cabinets, and a host of different solutions benefit from having dual functionality. It means businesses can cater to the needs of regular and temporary users, effectively giving them twice as much lock as a standalone keyed lock. On top of that, it also makes management easier. There’s no administrative time committed to routinely swapping and sharing keys between lots of users, for example, as there would be at a hotel or co-working office. And there are no costs or risks associated with lost keys. Additionally, any facilities managers have the added benefit of a key override allowing immediate access to the lockers,” said Steve Newman.

“Dual functionality means organisations using the KitLockNano in applications such as hot-desking offices, sports clubs, or events and conference spaces get more out of their locker and cabinetry solutions. The same lockers can be used as private storage or for short-term, multiple occupancy without having the hassle and costs associated with keys,” said Steve Newman.

Installing the KitLockNano is simple, as the lock easily retrofits into existing cam lock placements using just two additional fixings. New installations require only three small holes, allowing locksmiths and installers to fit the lock in minutes. It can be surface-mounted or fitted flush, maintaining a clean aesthetic while ensuring easy battery access. The key override remains accessible, making it simple for facilities managers to regain access if needed. It is also available in vertical or right-hand horizontal orientations.

The KitLockNano makes maintenance and management easier. Powered by two AAA batteries, it can perform up to 15,000 operations per battery cycle, includes a low battery indicator function, and has comprehensive code management with Master, Sub-Master and Technician. It is IP54 rated and equipped with a key override that is protected by a dust cover over the key cylinder.

Part of the KitLock by Codelocks range, the KitLockNano is a convenient and stylish alternative to traditional key-operated locker locks. Learn more about KitLockNano and its applications.
