Alarm Lock DL5300-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Alarm Lock DL5300 fit a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The DL5300 covers a door thickness range of 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches, so 1-3/4 inch, the usual commercial thickness, sits mid-range. It bores for a 2-3/4 inch backset, with 2-3/8 inch also available. If your door is thinner than 1-5/8 inches, this is not the lock; a 1-3/8 inch wood door needs something like the Lockey E985 or E995, both rated 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
2) What does double-sided mean on the DL5300, and does it work the same from both sides?
Both sides get a 12-button metal keypad, so users punch a PIN to get through in either direction, and you can assign a given user rights to one side or both. The two sides are not identical, though. Only the primary keypad handles data transfer, meaning audit trail downloads and programming happen at that keypad. Key override is also only on the primary side. Decide which face is primary before you cut the door.
3) Can I use my existing Schlage keys with the Alarm Lock DL5300 key override?
The standard DL5300 ships with a 6-pin solid brass cylinder in SC1 keyway, so it keys into an existing SC1 system directly. It also accepts Schlage, Corbin-Russwin CL, Sargent 480 series, ASSA 65-611 and Lori cylinders using the HW620 tailpiece, which is supplied. Order it Keyed Different, Keyed Alike, or to a specific key code. If your building runs small format interchangeable core, take the IC version instead, which comes with SFIC prep and less core so your locksmith drops in your own core.
4) Will the DL5300 latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
Two strikes ship with the lock: a 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch T strike and a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, so whether the frame is prepped T-standard or full ANSI, one of them drops in. The latchbolt has a 1/2 inch throw and is reversible, and the lock is non-handed, so you do not specify handing when ordering.
5) Is the Alarm Lock DL5300 approved for a fire rated door?
The latchbolt is UL Listed and fire rated 3 hours, and the lockset carries UL Listed 10C Positive Pressure certification. It is BHMA Certified Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical, and the levers are ADA compliant. That combination is what a facility spec normally calls for on a rated commercial opening.
6) I need a keypad lock on a 2 inch thick door, will the DL5300 work?
No. The DL5300 tops out at 1-7/8 inches. For a 2 inch door, the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches, the SDC E75 Series covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/8 inches, and the Schlage NDEB covers 1-5/8 to 2 inches. Going the other way, if the door is under 1-5/8 inches the DL5300 is also out.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Alarm Lock DL5300 if I need a keypad cylindrical lock but only need entry codes on one side of the door?
The DL5300 is a double-sided electronic cylindrical lock, with a keypad on both sides so codes can be assigned for one direction or both. If codes are only needed on the outside, single-keypad Grade 1 electronic cylindrical locks in the same set include the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic cylindrical lock with keypad and cylinder options, and the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad. The Accentra nexTouch NTB613 is a Grade 1 cylindrical keypad lock with pushbutton entry, and the BEST 9KZ EZ Series electronic keypad cylindrical lock carries a key override function like the DL5300's key override side.
8) The door is 1-3/4 inch thick, thicker than the DL5300 range. What keypad cylindrical lock fits?
The DL5300 fits doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. For thicker leaves, the SDC E75 Series battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch, and the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series and XCE-9000 Series electronic keypad cylindrical locksets both cover 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Schlage CO-100 keypad cylindrical lock is specified at 1-3/4 inch.
9) I do not need 2000 users or an audit trail, just keypad entry on a gate or storage door. What is a simpler alternative to the DL5300?
The DL5300 is a battery-operated electronic lock running on 5 AA batteries with 2000 user capacity and a 40,000 event audit trail. Where that programming is not needed, the Lockey 1600 heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock has an adjustable backset and fits 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2830 mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock adds an auto-locking passage function over the same 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thickness range. Both are mechanical pushbutton units rather than electronic, so there is no battery and no event log.
10) How many user codes does the DL5300 hold and can I pull an access report off it?
Up to 2000 users, organized in a multilevel hierarchy of master, manager, supervisor and basic levels, so a property manager can hand out codes without giving everyone programming rights. The audit trail holds 40,000 events with time and date stamps and records direction, so you can see which side someone came through. The real-time clock is accurate to within one second, and the log is printable. Data transfer is done at the primary keypad only.
11) Why would I put a keypad on both sides of a door instead of a normal keypad lock?
You do it when you need to control and record who leaves as well as who enters. That is why the DL5300 gets specified for detention and interrogation rooms, casino cash counting rooms, psychiatric and memory care wings, and secure commercial areas: the audit trail is directional and access rights can be set per side. If you only need to control entry and the inside is free egress, a single-sided keypad lock such as the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series or the Schlage CO-100 does the job with less to program.
12) What do I have to specify when ordering the Alarm Lock DL5300?
Two decisions. First the cylinder: Standard, which is the conventional cylinder with key override, or IC, prepped for SFIC and supplied less core. Second the keying, which is required on the order, choose Keyed Different, Keyed Alike, or Key Code, and if you pick Key Code enter the code with the order. Strikes and batteries are already in the box, so there is nothing extra to add for a standard install.
13) Is there a networked or wireless alternative to the DL5300 if I want to manage codes from a computer?
The DL5300 is a standalone lock. Programming and audit downloads happen at the primary keypad on the door, not over a network. If you want to push credentials and pull logs remotely, look at a wireless lockset instead, such as the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE Series with Bluetooth Low Energy, which fits 1-5/8 to 2 inch doors, or the Schlage XE360M wireless tubular lock with a mobile reader. Note that neither of those matches the DL5300's double-sided keypad arrangement.
14) Does the DL5300 need to be wired to power or an access control panel?
No wiring. It runs entirely on 5 AA alkaline batteries, supplied with the lock, and gives up to 60,000 cycles typical. That is the practical difference between it and a hardwired electric cylindrical lock like the SDC Electra 7200 Series, which runs on 12/24VDC and needs a power supply and a transfer hinge or door loop. If you are retrofitting an existing opening with no power at the frame, the battery lock saves the electrical work.
15) Can the DL5300 replace an existing cylindrical lockset in the same door prep?
It installs as a cylindrical (bored) lockset with a 2-3/4 inch backset and both T-standard and ASA strikes in the box, which is the same prep family as a standard Grade 1 cylindrical lock. What decides it is the door: 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches thick, and the door needs a bore on both faces to take the second keypad. Swapping a single-sided lock for this one is not a straight face-plate swap on the inside.
16) Does the Lockey E985 or E995 do the same job as the Alarm Lock DL5300?
They are related but not interchangeable. The Lockey E985 and E995 are electronic keypad lever locks with remote control, the E985 with key override and the E995 battery powered, and both are specified for 1 3/8 inch to 1 3/4 inch doors. The DL5300 is a keypad cylindrical lock for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors with a keypad on both faces and key override on the primary side only. On a door at the thick end of the DL5300 range the Lockey levers will not reach, and neither Lockey unit is a double-sided keypad.
17) The access control system is going networked and card-based. What replaces the DL5300 keypad approach?
The DL5300 is a standalone battery-operated keypad lock that stores its users and its audit trail in the lock. For credential-based or mobile-based openings, the Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series cylindrical lock with a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy reader, mobile enabled and multi-function; the Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock with a smart mobile reader and offline push button function; and the TownSteel FCE-2000 and FCE-4000 Series are Grade 1 standalone cylindrical locksets using RFID technology. The CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in a privacy function.
18) Can the SDC Electra 7200 be used in place of the Alarm Lock DL5300?
Not without changing the door's power plan. The SDC Electra 7200 Series is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock running on dual voltage 12/24VDC, so it requires a wired supply and an external release device, and it fits 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The DL5300 is battery operated on 5 AA cells with its keypad and user database in the lock, and fits 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. The SDC E75 Series is the battery-powered keypad lockset in the SDC line if a standalone unit is wanted instead.
19) I want the SFIC keying on the DL5300 but on a mechanical lock instead. What are the options?
The DL5300 is offered in an IC version with SFIC prep, less core, alongside the standard conventional cylinder with key override. For a mechanical lever taking a small format core, the Marks USA 175RF SFIC is a Grade 2 storeroom clutched lever lockset, small format IC less core, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI strike, matching the DL5300's 2-3/4 inch backset. The Marks USA 195RAB is a Grade 1 Survivor Series entry clutched lever lockset supplied less core.
20) The opening turned out to need a keyed mechanical lockset, not a keypad. What Grade 1 cylindrical lock covers the same door thicknesses as the DL5300?
The DL5300 fits 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Among Grade 1 keyed mechanical cylindrical locks, the Dorma C853 is an entry keyed single cylinder lever lockset covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty cylindrical lock in entry/office function over the same 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch range. Both thickness ranges span the DL5300's range.
21) Is the Kwikset SmartCode 912TNL an alternative to the Alarm Lock DL5300 for a commercial opening?
They are built for different duty. The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 SmartCode electronic Tustin lever uses Z-Wave technology, is keyed one side, and fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The DL5300 is a BHMA Certified Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lockset for commercial use, with an all metal 12 button keypad on both sides, a UL Listed 3 hour fire rated latchbolt, and a 40,000 event audit trail. If a Grade 1 commercial keypad is the requirement, the Accentra nexTouch NTB613 and TownSteel XCE-2000 Series are keypad units in that class.
22) For a classroom or lockdown opening, is the DL5300 the right electronic cylindrical lock?
The DL5300 is a double-sided keypad lock suited to openings where coded entry is controlled from both faces, such as detention, interrogation rooms, and care facilities. For classroom intruder function, the TownSteel XCE-9000 Series is an electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the TownSteel FCE-4000 Series is an RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset. The Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock in classroom/storeroom function.
23) What is the difference between the Alarm Lock DL5300 and the Schlage CO-100 for a privacy application?
The Schlage CO-100 is a standalone electronic cylindrical lock in privacy function, Grade 1 heavy duty, keypad with cylinder options, specified at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The DL5300 is a double-sided keypad lock with 2000 user capacity, multilevel access hierarchy, and direction-specific programming so users can be assigned entry from one or both sides, fitting 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. The CO-100 addresses a single-occupancy privacy opening; the DL5300 addresses controlled passage in both directions.
24) The DL5300 ships with T strike and ASA strike. Which mechanical alternatives use the same strike preps?
The DL5300 includes a 1-1/8 inch x 2-3/4 inch T strike and a 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, covering both common preps. The Stanley Security QCL200 cylindrical lock is supplied with a 118F ANSI 1-1/8 inch x 2-3/4 inch strike, matching the T strike prep, and the Stanley Security QCL150 Grade 2 entry lever comes with a 2-3/4 inch backset latch and a 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch ASA strike, matching the ASA prep and the DL5300's 2-3/4 inch backset.
