KNOCK OPEN YOUR DOOR. KEYLESS ENTRY IS JUST A KNOCK AWAY! CLICK THE PICTURE OF
THE HAND ABOVE




VERY POPULAR FOR ESCAPE ROOMS, SAFE ROOMS, SECRET ROOMS AND CABINETS!



This animation shows the interaction between the Knock Lock and the user. The
"combination" for this illustration is "5 - 2 - 4" where the hand knocks five
times then two and finally four. This illustrates a 3-DIGIT code. The code is
USER SETTABLE and can be set from a 1-DIGIT code to a SIX-DIGIT code. Each DIGIT
can be from 1 KNOCK to 63 KNOCKS!

The KnockLock is a secret knock detecting door device that is simple to use and
capable of "sensing" a special and unique pattern of knocks. Actually a more
appropriate name might be the KnockUnlock since you use it to unlock. The
knocklock easily interfaces to "unlocking" devices such as Electric door
strikes, Door actuators, alarm disable, hidden switch applications, covert entry
or the ultimate secret Electric Garage Door opener allowing you to unlock or
open the door simply by knocking a "special" way. This is done by using a
vibration sensor that senses "knocking" on or near the item or area and sends
the "knocking" information to a processor that is capable of recognizing a
SPECIFIC and UNIQUE pattern. Once the "unique knocking" is sensed (for example:
KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK (pause) KNOCK-KNOCK (pause) KNOCK) the KnockLock then
activates an internal relay that can switch power to a lock mechanism (such as
an electric door strike, electric car door lock or electric garage door opener
for example). The "knocking" pattern that is required to activate the KnockLock
can be as simple as one knock or as complicated as six different groups of
knocks, where each group can be from one knock to 63 knocks (resulting in over 1
billion possible combinations). The combination must match EXACTLY before access
is granted and is completely programmable by the user. The internal relay is
rated at 2 Amperes at 30 volts DC.

The Pickup





GREAT FEATURES!

The KnockLock will hold TWO different combinations with each being from one
knock to six groups of knocks. The KnockLock has a built-in PICK-UP element so
the unit can be attached directly to a door or wall. For installations requiring
the KnockLock to be mounted away from the "knock area" an external pick-up
element is provided which simply plugs into the "external input" jack on the
KnockLock.






DUAL POWER INPUT

The KnockLock can run from four AA batteries or an external power source from 9
- 15 volts DC or BOTH (i.e. Batteries could be used in conjunction with external
power for "combination" retention in the event that power was disrupted to the
external power source)






ACCESSORY IGNITION INPUT TERMINAL

Used to keep the KnockLock from resetting until this input goes negative for a
period of 20 seconds. This is useful in an automotive kill-switch application,
so the user does not have to keep re-entering the code when the car is shut off
briefly, and then re-started. Once the car has been off for a period of
approximately 20 seconds, the KnockLock will then reset.

Sensitivity adjustment for how "hard" of a knock is required to trigger the
KnockLock.

10-Try Lockout. If ten incorrect attempts are made at entering the code, the
KnockLock will lock-up for 15 seconds.






PROGRAMMING

The KnockLock combinations can be set before OR after mounting. It is
recommended that you familiarize yourself with the operation of the unit before
putting it into service.

To program COMBINATION #1:

STEP #1 Insert paper clip or toothpick into CODE hole (Fig. 3), pressing and
holding the internal push-button through the entire programming process. You
will hear three tones indicating that you are in "CHANGE-CODE" mode.

STEP #2 While continuing to hold in the toothpick/paper clip, tap the KnockLock
the number of times you want the FIRST digit to be. After the last tap, the
KnockLock will then verify what you tapped in by responding with a short "BEEP"
for EACH tap. For example, if you want the first digit to be FIVE, tap the
KnockLock five times. When you stop tapping, the knock-lock would then "BEEP"
five times. The first number is now entered.

STEP #3 Repeat STEP #2 by tapping in the SECOND digit for the code. Once again,
the KnockLock will verify what you tapped in by "BEEPING" back the number of
taps. This process can be repeated for UP TO SIX digits.

STEP #4 When the LAST digit is "tapped" in, release the toothpick/paper clip
from the program-hole, and the KnockLock will signal with two quick beeps that
it is ready for normal operation. The code setting is complete.

To program COMBINATION #2:

NOTE: The first digit of COMBINATION #2 MUST BE DIFFERENT than the first digit
of COMBINATION #1. Other wise, COMBINATION #2 will be disabled.

Step #1 Just as in setting the first combination, you must insert a
toothpick/paper clip into the programming hole. You will then hear 3 tones
indicating the KnockLock is in "CHANGE-CODE" mode. BRIEFLY remove
toothpick/paper clip, and then RE-INSERT toothpick/paper clip and you will hear
six quick tones indicating that it is ready to set COMBINATION #2. Continue to
hold in the toothpick/paper clip through the entire programming of COMBINATION
#2.

Step #2 Follow steps 2 through steps 4 in "CHANGE-CODE" example above. When
finished, remove toothpick/paper clip from CODE hole.






MOUNTING

The KnockLock should be securely mounted on a surface capable of conducting
sound (such as wood, metal or plastic for example). Poor mounting will result in
poor sensitivity to the knocking. If the external sensor is being used, plug the
1/8" connector into the "REMOTE" hole (Fig. 1) and make sure it is mounted
securely to the knock surface as well. The sensitivity control (Fig. 3) can be
adjusted to fit the mounting environment. This is done by turning the
sensitivity control left or right with your thumb. On surfaces that are more
"resonating" or surfaces that lend themselves to reverberation, the sensitivity
may have to be decreased to reduce false "additional" sound pulses. Experiment
to find the ideal sensitivity setting.






NORMAL OPERATION

When batteries are installed, the KnockLock will emit five short beeps. Pay
close attention to the speed of these "beeps" as they occur at the recommended
"knock" rate for operation. During normal operation, the KnockLock is always
listening for knocks. The rate at which the knocks should occur is approximately
5 to 6 knocks per second. The knocks can be as fast as 12 times per second, or
as slow as 4 times per second. For our example, we will assume the code to be: 5
- 3 - 1 - 4 Knock five times and wait for the response BEEP. Immediately after
the BEEP, knock three times and wait for response BEEP. Immediately after that
BEEP, knock one time and wait for response BEEP. Immediately after that beep,
knock four times and STOP.

Note: If too much time goes by after a response BEEP, the KnockLock assumes you
are done knocking. You have up to one second MAX to knock the next number after
a response beep.

If the procedure was done correctly , the KnockLock will play 9 tones very
quickly, and engage the internal relay, activating the lock mechanism it is
connected to. If the KnockLock did not recognize the code, it will respond with
four tones, reset and wait for another attempt.

Hint: Additional digits can be added in FRONT of the combination, and so long as
the sequence ENDS with the correct combination, the KnockLock will still
activate. For example, if the combination is 5 - 3 - 1 - 4, the user can "knock
in" 3-1-2-4-2-4-10-1-2 - 5-3-1-4 and the lock would still engage. This is useful
if someone is standing nearby, and you do not want them to easily figure out
what you are doing, or to make the code seem much more complex than it really
is.

When the correct combination is entered, the KnockLock’s normally-open relay
contacts engage for a period of 2 seconds by default.






BATTERY LIFE

4 AA Alkaline batteries should last well over 1 year under normal usage. Some of
our tests indicate that the batteries could last at long as 3 - 5 years. Make
sure the sensitivity control is set so that the environment does not trigger the
pick-up element, causing unnecessary power consumption. When the batteries start
to get low, the KnockLock will play an unusual sounding set of tones after each
access attempt. Once you hear this sound, you should replace the batteries
within 1 month.






WIRING

The KnockLock has five screw-wire terminals. Terminals 1 and 2 are the
normally-open switch contacts that close when the correct combination is
entered. Terminal 3 is an auxiliary input for automotive applications. Terminal
4 is the NEGATIVE connection for an external power source and terminal 5 is the
POSITIVE connection for an external power source (from 9 to 15 VDC). To attach a
wire to these terminals, simply loosen the screw with a small screwdriver,
insert the wire in the terminal hole and then tighten the screw down on the
wire. For the application of connecting to a garage door opener, simply parallel
the two switch contacts of the wall mounted garage door opener switch with the
switch terminals on the KnockLock. The KnockLock would then simulate the garage
door switch being pressed when the correct combination is entered into the
KnockLock.

The KnockLock’s relay switch contacts are rated at 2 Amps/ 30 VDC maximum. If
higher current requirements are needed, the KnockLock’s relay can be used to
drive the coil of a heavy-duty relay, which would switch a much heavier current
load.






MODIFY RELAY CONTACT TIME

The "contact period" can be extended by pressing the "CODE" button when FIRST
installing the batteries. After the five short start up beeps, you will hear a
lower pitch beep, approximately once per second. Each beep represents an extra
SECOND of "contact" time. Release the "CODE" button when the desired "contact
period" has elapsed.






GREAT FOR SECRET ROOMS, SAFE ROOMS, ESCAPE ROOMS, CABINETS OR BOOKCASES. JUST
KNOCK TO UNLOCK!

Please note: that this item has just one output for a fail secure type of device
such as an electric strike. If using it with a fail safe type of device such as
a magnetic lock then an additional relay will be needed. See the relay module

is this also a lock or does it include a lock
No - the Knocklock is not really a lock but it can be used with an electric
strike to control a lock. So for a complete Knocklock system you would usually
also need an electric strike and two 12 vdc power supplies.

I plan to use this for an escape room. This is to enter a section of the escape
room so I need back up ways to open the same door once people are through in
case it closes and activates the lock. Firecode! Can this device take Exit
button and motion sensor input as well as knock to unlock the maglock from the
other side once people enter? This is to meet firecode.
Would it be possible to use an electric strike instead of the mag lock? It would
then be more fire safe friendly. If not then if you interrupt the power with the
exit switches going to the mag lock say directly at the power supply it should
be fine. Please feel free to give us a call and we'll be happy to help.

Does the Knock Lock have any dry contact closure options for triggering the
strike?
The KnockLock has five screw-wire terminals. Terminals 1 and 2 are the
normally-open switch contacts that close when the correct combination is
entered. Terminal 3 is an auxiliary input for "special" applications and should
be tied to the negative ( - ) terminal if not being used. Terminal 4 is the
NEGATIVE connection for an external power source and terminal 5 is the POSITIVE
connection for an external power source (from 9 to 15 VDC). Note: Many "wall
adapters" deliver a higher output voltage than the stated voltage when under a
"light load". This "higher voltage" may exceed the ratings of the KnockLock and
cause damage. It is always best to use a "regulated" power supply.

To attach a wire to these terminals, simply loosen the screw with a small
screwdriver, insert the wire in the terminal hole and then tighten the screw
down on the wire. For the application of connecting to a garage door opener,
simply parallel the two switch contacts of the wall mounted garage door opener
switch with the switch terminals on the KnockLock. The KnockLock would then
simulate the garage door switch being pressed when the correct combination is
entered into the KnockLock.

The KnockLock’s relay switch contacts are rated at 2 Amps/ 30 VDC maximum. If
higher current requirements are needed, the KnockLock’s relay can be used to
drive the coil of a heavy-duty relay, which would switch a much heavier current
load.

MODIFY RELAY CONTACT TIME

The "contact period" can be extended by pressing and holding the "CODE" button
when FIRST installing the batteries or applying power. After the five short
start up beeps, you will hear a lower pitch beep, approximately once per second.
Each beep represents an extra SECOND of "contact" time. Release the "CODE"
button when the desired "contact period" has elapsed.
