Keedex K-22 Lever Opening Tool Hotel Card Lock Access

Product Description

The KEEDEX K-22 is an under-door lever opening tool designed to retract or actuate a lever handle from the inside of a door by sliding the tool beneath the door gap. Built from alloy steel, the K-22 features an L-shaped, ambidextrous handle that allows the operator to hook and turn interior lever hardware without direct access to the room. The tool is compact and lightweight, sized to carry in a pocket or service kit. It is primarily used by hotel and lodging facility operators, property managers, and locksmiths who need a fast, non-destructive method to access a room when the primary locking mechanism fails.

The K-22 is most commonly used in commercial hospitality environments where card-access locks - including magnetic stripe and proximity (RFID) card readers - become inoperable due to power failure, battery drain, or card encoding errors. By passing the tool under the door, the user can engage the interior lever and open the door without forcing or damaging the lockset. The tool is also applicable in any commercial or institutional setting that uses standard lever-handle door hardware paired with electronic access control.

Installation Notes

The K-22 is operated by locksmiths, hotel security staff, and facilities technicians - no permanent installation is required. Before use, confirm the door has adequate undercut clearance to allow the tool to pass beneath and reach the interior lever. Use of this tool should comply with applicable local access-control and locksmith licensing regulations. This tool is intended for authorized emergency access only and should be stored securely when not in use.
