KNOX ELOCK CORE INSTALLATION

Assemble the Knox eLock Core:

Line up the sidebar of the Knox eLock 

Core with the groove in the Lock Shell 

and slide the Lock Core into the Lock 

Shell from the outside of the door.

Insert the Dust Cover, Dust Cover 

Bracket, and Knox eLock Shell into the 

outside of the door as shown in 

Figure 2 

on page 1. For newer 1650 type units, a 

plastic spacer and two orientation pins 

must be reinstalled between the KnoxBox 

Door and the Dust Cover Bracket.

Install the Lock Shell Nut onto the Lock 

Shell from the inside of the door. Ensure 

the TAB on the Lock Shell is oriented to the 

right or away from hinge as you look at it 

from the back of the door. Use a 7/8" socket 

or wrench to tighten the nut to snug.

IMPORTANT! 

Ensure that the Stop Washer is orientated 

facing away from the hinge.

WARNING! 

Upon reinstallation of the Lock Cam,  

DO NOT CLOSE AND LOCK THE BOX! 

NOTE: 

Cam shown in the locked position above.

a.

 Rotate the Knox eKey 90° counter-clockwise.

b.

 Check the inside of the door to make 

certain the Stop Washer is in place and 

has not slid off the Lock Core. If so,  

re- secure the Stop Washer.

c.

 If the key turns clockwise rather than 

counter-clockwise, go back to Step 4 and 

change the position of the Stop Washer.

To ensure the Knox eLock Core 

installation was successful, test the Knox 

eLock Core BEFORE closing the box. 

Enter your command code, insert the Knox 

eKey & rotate the key counter-clockwise.

9

Close the door. Rotate the Knox eKey 

clockwise and remove the key.

10

Tighten the Lock Cam Nut using a 9/16" 

socket or wrench to snug.

8

If Cam is not in the locked position, rotate 

the Knox eKey 90º clockwise to the 

locked position. Secure the Lock Cam by 

inserting a screwdriver to the right of the 

Cam. Slide the driver down through the 

open slot at the bottom of the Cam.

IMPORTANT! 

Do not attempt without the screwdriver 

in place. This will prevent damage to the 

Knox eLock Core while tightening the nut.
