Kaba’s E-Plex 5900 door lock will monitor opening and closing of
the door. This is accomplished by installing a position sensor in
the door, and installing a permanent magnet in the door frame.
These are shown in the pages that follow.
Installation:
Prepare the door following the E-Plex 5x00 cylindrical lock Installation
Instructions manual. The door surface will be prepared with a 1" diameter
recessed area approximately 1" deep, which will accommodate the sensor
leads to be mounted within the door. The center of this recessed area should
be 5

spindle to pass through the door 2

the Door and Door Frame Openings illustration below.
For wooden doors, the recessed area must be deep enough to meet the wiring
path drilled within the door. Do not drill the recessed area completely through
the door. For metal doors, only drill through the outside of the door. Do not
drill completely through.
Drill a horizontal hole for the sensor and wires through the edge of the door
to intersect with the recessed area 5
