Alarm Lock DL6500CRR US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the DL6500 handed, or can I flip it on site?
Both. Handing is specified when ordering, right hand or left hand, and the lock is also field reversible if the opening turns out to be the other hand. Each handing is offered in US10B oil rubbed bronze and US26D satin chrome.
2) Will the DL6500 latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The classroom function uses a stainless steel latchbolt with 3/4 inch projection and a deadlocking latch, and a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch strike ships with the lock. The lock body is prepped for T-standard and ASA strikes, so a frame already cut for an ANSI/ASA mortise strike takes it. If your existing frame has a T-strike cutout, use the included strike or the existing one rather than enlarging the prep.
3) What cylinder does the Alarm Lock DL6500 take for key override?
A 1-3/8 inch mortise cylinder is supplied, and the lock body accepts mortise cylinders from 1-3/8 to 1-1/2 inch. That length range is what lets you key it into an existing master system rather than living with a standalone cylinder. Keying is chosen at order time: keyed different, keyed alike, or to a specific key code you supply.
4) Is the DL6500 a real classroom function lock, or just a keypad on a latch?
Classroom function on a Grade 1 mortise body. The outside lever is controlled by PIN code at the 12-button metal keypad, the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress, and the deadlocking latch prevents the bolt from being carded. Up to 5,000 user codes of 3 to 6 digits can be loaded, which is what makes it workable for a school or campus rather than a single door.
5) Is the Alarm Lock DL6500 fire rated and code compliant for a school corridor door?
The lock body meets BHMA specifications for Grade 1 locks and is UL Listed to the 10C Positive Pressure Specification, which is the positive pressure fire door test. It is also FCC Certified for the wireless radio, and the levers are ADA compliant. Free egress comes from the classroom function, since the inside lever always retracts the latch.
6) Does the DL6500 need to be wired to the network, or does it run on batteries?
It runs on 4 C-cell batteries, included, with no wiring to the door. The Networx side is wireless: the lock joins a Trilogy Networx system over 802.11 or Ethernet gateways, so you get remote programming and audit trail pulls without pulling power or data to the opening. Basic programming can also be done straight at the keypad if you never put it on a network.
7) Can I retrofit the DL6500 into a door that already has a mechanical mortise lock?
If the existing pocket is a standard ANSI mortise prep at 2-3/4 inch backset and the door measures between 1-5/8 and 1-7/8 inches thick, the lock body drops into that prep and the included strike matches T-standard or ASA frame cuts. What changes is the face of the door: the DL6500 carries a full-metal 12-button keypad escutcheon, so the old rose or escutcheon holes need to fall under the new trim or be filled. Check the existing through-bolt and spindle holes against the keypad plate before you pull the old lock.
8) My access control panel is already wired to the door. Is the Alarm Lock DL6500 the right lock, or do I want a wired electrified mortise lock?
If you have power and a panel at the opening, order a wired electrified mortise lock rather than the DL6500, which is battery operated and self-contained. The BEST 45HW Series is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, and the Schlage L9092EU 03A is a heavy duty corridor function mortise lock, electric lock/unlock outside lever, keyed outside, with request to exit and 12/24VDC operation for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy-duty motorized storeroom mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC. The DL6500 does offer request to exit reporting on its own.
9) What is the closest equivalent to the Alarm Lock DL6500 if I need a Grade 1 classroom mortise lock with a keypad instead of a mechanical key?
The TownSteel FME-2000 Series is the nearest peer. Both are Grade 1 heavy duty classroom function mortise locksets with electronic credential entry. The DL6500 reads a 12 metal button pushbutton keypad and holds 5,000 user codes; the FME-2000 uses RFID technology as its credential rather than a keypad, so the decision comes down to whether your users carry cards or type a PIN. The FME-2000 is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, while the DL6500 fits a 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range.
10) If I do not need networking or an audit trail, what is a simpler keypad mortise lock than the Alarm Lock DL6500?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock is the simpler standalone option. It is a keypad mortise lock with a key override function and no network tie-in. The DL6500 carries an audit trail and 5,000 user codes and is built for Trilogy Networx integration, so if nobody is pulling access history or pushing codes remotely, the 45HZ covers the opening with less to program. Another standalone route is the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 Series electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock.
11) Our lockdown policy requires locking the classroom door from inside. Does the Alarm Lock DL6500 do that, or is there a better lock?
For an intruder-function opening, look at the TownSteel FME-4000 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the BEST 45HCA Series heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function. The DL6500 is a classroom function lock with a stainless steel latchbolt and deadlocking latch, controlled by PIN codes at the 12 button keypad and by remote lock or unlock through Trilogy Networx, rather than by a dedicated inside lockdown cylinder.
12) Can the DL6500 report request-to-exit to my access control system?
Yes, and how it reports depends on what it is tied into. Integrated with CIC, Lenel, or Stanley B.A.S.I.S., the request-to-exit signal is real time. On a Networx system, REX sounds at the door and records to the audit trail rather than passing to a panel in real time. Audit trail is standard on the lock either way.
13) Does the DL6500 read prox cards, or is it keypad only?
The DL6500 Networx is a proximity and digital mortise lock that reads HID II credentials in 26 to 37 bit format alongside the keypad, so a facility already carrying HID badges can use them here. The reader type on the lock is keypad plus that prox capability, and the keypad remains the fallback when someone forgets a badge.
14) Can I use the DL6500 on an exterior door?
Yes. It is built weatherproof and rated for commercial use, so perimeter and exterior openings are in scope as long as the door falls in the 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch thickness range. Note the batteries live in the lock, so plan for a cold-weather battery check schedule on outside doors.
15) What are the alternatives to the Alarm Lock DL6500 for a classroom mortise lock?
For a keypad or credential classroom mortise at Grade 1, the TownSteel FME-2000 Series is the closest peer, a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. If you want lockdown from inside the room, the TownSteel FME-4000 Series is an electronic intruder classroom mortise with RFID. Both are card-based rather than 5,000-code keypad devices. On the wireless side, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating.
16) I am standardizing keypad locks across a building. How does the DL6500 compare to the Dormakaba E-Plex and Schlage CO-100?
All three are pushbutton mortise locks, but they differ on capacity and function. The DL6500 carries 5,000 user codes, an audit trail, and Networx wireless management, in classroom function. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 back to back pushbutton and card mortise in entry/egress function, and the E-Plex 2066 is a wide stile pushbutton keyless mortise. The Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 standalone heavy duty mortise with a keypad reader in privacy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, standalone rather than networked. Match the function first: privacy and entry/egress locks do not behave like a classroom lock.
17) What do I have to specify when I order the Alarm Lock DL6500?
Four things. Handing, right or left. Finish, US10B oil rubbed bronze or US26D satin chrome. Keying: keyed different, keyed alike, or a specific key code, which you then enter as text on the order. Everything needed to hang the lock is in the box, including the 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch strike, the 1-3/8 inch mortise cylinder, and the 4 C-cell batteries.
18) What electronic mortise lock should I use instead of the Alarm Lock DL6500 if my users carry proximity or mobile credentials rather than PINs?
The DL6500 is a keypad reader lock built around PIN entry. For card and phone credentials, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile enabled deadbolt with LED on Greenwich trim, right hand, with a 3 hour fire rating. The Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, and the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock uses a capacitive touchscreen keypad with cylinder override and no deadbolt.
19) Which mortise locks look like substitutes for the Alarm Lock DL6500 but will not give me classroom function access control?
Several nearby mortise locks are not access control at all. The Schlage CO-100-MS-40-KP is a standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader, but it is Grade 1 privacy function, so it secures a restroom or similar rather than a classroom door. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt function mortise lock with no latch or lever, and the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock, and the Emtek 3102 Memphis is a dummy function mortise entrance lockset with no working latch at all. The DL6500 is a classroom function lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 12 button keypad.
20) How does the Alarm Lock DL6500 compare with the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 for a keypad-plus-card mortise opening?
Both are Grade 1 electronic mortise locks. The E-Plex E5086 is an entry/egress electronic pushbutton and card lock in a back to back mortise configuration, meaning credential entry on both sides of the opening. The DL6500 is a classroom function lock with a single 12 button metal keypad, 5,000 user codes, and audit trail, and it ties into Trilogy Networx over 802.11 or Ethernet for remote programming. Choose the E5086 when both faces of the door need to be controlled; choose the DL6500 when one side is controlled and the history needs to land on a network.
21) My doors are 1-3/4 inch thick. Does that rule out the Alarm Lock DL6500, and what else fits?
No - the DL6500 covers a 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range, so a 1-3/4 inch door is inside it. If the door is thicker than that, the Hager 3800 Series Grade 1 mortise locks fit 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch, including the 3810E passage with escutcheon and the 3850E office lever with escutcheon, both on a 2-3/4 inch backset that matches the DL6500 backset. Those Hager bodies are mechanical, not keypad locks.
22) Is there an electronic mortise lock that does not run on batteries like the Alarm Lock DL6500?
The Dormakaba PowerPlex P2066 Series mortise lock is the alternative to look at when the maintenance crew does not want a battery replacement cycle in the schedule. The DL6500 is battery operated, running on four C-cell batteries, and it is that self-contained power design that lets it go in without hardwiring the opening.
23) Is the Schlage LE Series mortise lock an equal swap for the Alarm Lock DL6500 on a commercial opening?
They sit at different BHMA grades. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 mobile-enabled mortise lock with push button and LED covering privacy, office, and apartment functions, with a 3 hour fire rating, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The DL6500 is Grade 1 and classroom function, with a Steelcase lock body meeting BHMA Grade 1 specifications and a UL listing to the 10C positive pressure specification. If the specification on the drawing calls for Grade 1, the LEBMB-ADD will not satisfy it.
24) I only need the mortise lock body, not a full electronic lockset. What do I order instead of the Alarm Lock DL6500?
The BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body is sold as a lock body with public entrance function and field reversible operation, and the BEST 45HCA Series is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function. The Baldwin 6310 is a mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset with entrance/storeroom function for 1-3/8 inch and over doors. The DL6500 is a complete classroom-function assembly - keypad, lock body, cylinder, and strike - on a 2-3/4 inch backset, so a bare body is a different order.
25) For a storeroom or office door rather than a classroom, what takes the place of the Alarm Lock DL6500?
Match the function to the door. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with an Arcadia lever in the 8800 Series, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. For an office door, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch. The DL6500 is built as a classroom function lock, so those functions are separate part numbers rather than a setting.
