About this item
The LD472 is the affordable end of the Simplex pushbutton lock lineup. It's the LD470 Series: light duty, lever style, fully mechanical, no batteries, single code. It goes on wood or metal doors with three holes and no specialty prep. Two through bolts, one for the latch spindle, done. Two cover plates and two gaskets come in the box.
What you trade for the price is construction grade and programming convenience. The 1011 and 5000 Series program at the keypad while the lock is installed on the door. The LD472 needs to come off the door to reprogram. If you're setting a code once and leaving it, that's not a problem. If you're in an environment where codes get changed frequently, it adds a step. The LD472 is also light duty: solid cast housing and levers, but not the extra-heavy-duty construction of the 5000 Series or the heavy-duty knob housing of the 1011. Interior storage rooms, low-traffic office doors, and utility closets are the right application. High-traffic exterior commercial entrances are not.

What "non-sequential" code means
The single code on the LD472 is non-sequential. The buttons don't have to be pressed in a left-to-right or numbered order. The combination can include any button in any order, including pressing multiple buttons simultaneously as part of the sequence. More combinations are possible than a straight numbered sequence would allow. Still just one code though: all users share it. If one person shouldn't have access anymore, the only fix is changing the code for everyone and telling the rest.

LD471 vs. LD472: The Only Difference Is Backset
These two models are identical in every way except backset. LD471 is for 2-3/8" backset doors. LD472 (this product) is for 2-3/4" backset doors. Confirm your latch backset before ordering. If you're not sure which you have, measure from the edge of the door to the center of the latch bore. 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" are the two most common standard backsets for residential and light commercial doors.
LD472 vs. Simplex 1011: Which One You Actually Need
The LD472 is light duty, lever style, single code, no key override, programs off-door.The 1011 is heavy duty, knob style, multiple possible combinations, programs on-door. If the opening sees daily traffic from multiple authorized users and you want the flexibility to reset codes without removing hardware, the 1011 is the correct lock. If it's a low-traffic storage room, supply closet, or utility space where the code rarely changes and budget matters, the LD472 works.
