Frequently Asked Questions - X-10 Dormakaba

How do I change the combination on the X-10 lock?

To change the combination, you need the current correct combination or the serial number. Enter change key mode (indicated on LCD), then follow prompts. The lock supports single, dual, and supervisor/subordinate modes.

Does the X-10 require batteries?

No, the X-10 is self-powered using Kaba Mas PowerStar™ technology. Simply rotate the dial to generate power for operation.

What does the backlit display show?

What happens if I enter the wrong combination too many times?

After 10-14 incorrect attempts, a 3-minute penalty lockout occurs. 15+ errors result in a 4-minute lockout. Both error count and penalty reset after a correct opening.

Can the X-10 be used on a door?

Poorly lit areas make it difficult to see a lock's visual control, and temporary lighting is a potential security issue. The X-10 now has the solution - simply turn the dial and the X-10 LCD screen illuminates. The X-10 was originally designed with the backlit feature in mind. Approved by the GSA after its first test submittal, the backlit feature is standard on all X-10s. Buy with confidence - all X-10 locks come with a two year warranty!

X-10: The GSA Approved Lock for FF-L-2740,

Revision B, Style 1 Applications

Secure Tradition

The Kaba Mas X-0 series is the trusted choice for securing the US Government's most sensitive material. The X-0 series was first introduced in 1992 as the only lock to meet the strict requirements of Federal Specification FF-L-2740. This specification is the US Government's highest security standard for electro-mechanical locks. The X-10 represents the latest edition to this secure tradition. The X-10 is the GSA (General Services Administration) approved lock for FF-L-2740, latest revision B, Style 1 applications. The X-10 is approved by the GSA for use on approved Class 5 and 6 filing cabinets and Class 5 Security vault doors.

Why the X-10?

The X-10 was designed and developed as a direct result of the latest revision to federal specification FF-L-2740, now Revision B. This revision calls for two distinctly different lock styles. Be aware that the characteristics and operating features of a "Style 1" and "Style 2" lock are not equal! The X-10 is the only self-contained lock and now, with the backlit LCD display, clearly represents the best overall value. The X-10 is the lock awarded the distinction of being approved for Style 1 Applications.

User Friendly Features

The X-10 was designed with similar features and functions of its predecessor, the X-09. This minimizes the need for user training. The X-10 maintains the already familiar product operating features. The X-10 uses the same self-powered technology - simply rotate the dial to power-up the lock. The proprietary Kaba Mas self powered feature eliminates the concern of an unexpected failure due to battery life. The X-10 retains the same three security modes, along with a full complement of audit features.

What's new?

The following chart lists the enhanced features of the X-10 versus its predecessor the X-09:

The X-10 has been designed to enhance user friendly features, while improving security. For example, the lock case incorporates a through case mounting feature to improve ease of installation while protecting the lock's internal electronics and mechanisms. The lock case has a security seal which provides a visible indication the lock has been accessed.

CDX-10 High Security Lock - Pedestrian Door Deadbolts

The Kaba Mas CDX-10 consists of an X-10 high security style 1 lock, Federal Specification FF-L-2740B, mounted on a deadbolt base plate. The base plate is surface-mounted to the inside face of the door. The deadbolt base plate has two essential features:

First, it provides a means of latching the bolt in the retracted position. This prevents the bolt from being inadvertently extended.

Second, turning the knob on the base plate will retract the bolt to allow egress.

The CDX-10 has been approved by the General Services Administration (GSA) meeting the requirements of Federal Specification FF-L-2890C, Type VI.

Overview

Kaba Mas has been a trusted partner to the United States Government since the X-0 Series was first introduced in 1992.

Kaba Mas High Security combination locks used on GSA approved security containers and CDX series pedestrian door locks used on doors to secure rooms and Secure Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) have been preferred by U.S. Government agencies and Government contractors.

The Kaba Mas DKX-10 was developed to meet changes to Federal Specification FF-L-2890C. These changes added life-safety requirements to locking devices used to protect secure areas occupied by Government/Cleared Contractor personnel.

The General Services Administration (GSA) approved the Kaba Mas Type IV DKX-10, which is comprised of a Kaba Mas CDX-10 attached – through linkage – to a Dorma Grade 1, fire-rated rim exit device. The linkage ensures simultaneous retraction of both the exit device latch and the CDX-10 primary lock bolt. The combination of two proven products ensures compliance with codes for Security, Fire, and Life Safety and requirements of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The DKX-10 Type IV includes integrated electrified trim that allows through-the-door wiring for electronic access control and a request to exit switch.
