Alarm Lock ET-BIC US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Alarm Lock ET-BIC adapter kit actually do?
It's the adapter that lets a Best small format interchangeable core sit in the rim cylinder position of an Alarm Lock electronic access control unit. It is not a lock and it is not a core. You supply the Best 6-pin or 7-pin SFIC from your own key system, and the kit adapts it to the Alarm Lock device so the keyed override runs on the same keyway as the rest of the building.
2) Will the ET-BIC adapter work with my existing Best keyway so the master key still opens the door?
Yes, that is the whole point of it. The kit is built for Best 6-pin and 7-pin small format interchangeable cores, so the core you already carry on your Best system drops in and keys to your existing master. The kit does not include a core; order the core keyed to your system separately.
3) Do I need a Best SFIC core to use this, or does one come with it?
You need to supply the core. The ET-BIC kit is the adapter hardware only, sized for a Best 6-pin or 7-pin SFIC. A locksmith ordering this for a job orders the adapter plus a core cut and keyed to the building's system.
4) Is the ET-BIC kit a mortise cylinder adapter or a rim cylinder adapter?
Rim. The kit adapts a Best SFIC to the rim cylinder position, which is the pocket used on Alarm Lock trim and keypad units. If what you need is a mortise cylinder for a mortise lock body, this is the wrong part, and a mortise housing that accepts a small format core is what you want instead.
5) What is the Alarm Lock ET-BIC Best SFIC rim cylinder adapter kit compared to a mortise lock body?
The Alarm Lock ET-BIC is an adapter kit that lets a Best 6-7-pin small format interchangeable core rim cylinder work with Alarm Lock electronic access control hardware. It is not a lock body and does not latch a door on its own. A mortise lock body such as the BEST 45HCA public entrance lockbody or the Cal-Royal NM8080 storeroom mortise lockset is the mechanical unit that carries the latch and deadbolt and gets mortised into the door edge. If the door needs a working lock, the lock body is the purchase; the ET-BIC is what adapts an SFIC core into an Alarm Lock electronic device already on the door.
6) If the opening needs an SFIC core in a mortise lockset rather than in electronic trim, what should be used instead of the ET-BIC adapter kit?
The ET-BIC adapter kit handles a Best 6-7-pin SFIC rim cylinder feeding Alarm Lock electronic access control. When the requirement is an interchangeable core inside a mechanical mortise lockset, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset offered with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. That covers the core-keyed opening in one mechanical unit, where the ET-BIC only bridges a core into an Alarm Lock electronic device.
7) What keypad mortise locks are available if the whole electronic lock is being replaced rather than adapted for an SFIC core?
The Alarm Lock ET-BIC is an adapter for a keypad-read Alarm Lock system, not a complete lock. If the plan is a new keypad mortise lock with key override, the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock includes a key override function. The Schlage CO-100 is a standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader, Grade 1, privacy function, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock for wide stile applications. Each of those is a full lock; the ET-BIC serves an Alarm Lock device already installed.
8) What finishes does the Alarm Lock SFIC rim cylinder adapter kit come in?
Two: US26D satin chrome and USB10 oil rubbed bronze. US26D is the usual pick when the rest of the opening is satin chrome or brushed stainless commercial trim; USB10 is for matching darker bronze hardware. Pick the one that matches the Alarm Lock trim it is going into, since the adapter is visible on the outside of the door.
9) Is the Alarm Lock Best SFIC adapter kit rated for exterior doors?
It's built for indoor and outdoor use, with vandal resistant construction for exposed openings. The rating stated for it is BHMA Grade 1, which is the commercial durability tier for high traffic entrances.
10) Can I use this adapter on an exit device trim, or only on a standalone keypad lock?
The kit is offered in styles to fit door and exit trim configurations, so it covers both a keypad unit on the door and an Alarm Lock exit trim application. Match the kit style to the Alarm Lock device you are fitting it to, since the adapter locates the core in that specific device's cylinder pocket.
11) I'm standardizing a building on Best SFIC, but need electronic keypad locks. What are my options besides adapting an Alarm Lock unit?
If you want the electronic lock itself to be native SFIC rather than adapted, BEST's own electronic mortise locks are the direct route: the 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override, and the 45HW Series is a wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V. Adapting an Alarm Lock unit with the ET-BIC kit makes sense when the Alarm Lock hardware is already specified or already on the doors and you just need it onto your Best keyway.
12) Keypad access control with a mechanical key override, standalone versus networked, which do I need?
Standalone keypad units like the Alarm Lock devices this adapter fits are programmed at the keypad itself, no wiring or head end, which suits a handful of doors or a tenant space. If you need the door reporting back to a system, look at a networked or credential based lock instead: the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with RFID. Those are complete locks, not adapters, so they replace the door hardware rather than adapt it.
13) Is a Sargent 130KB mortise thumbturn a substitute for the Alarm Lock ET-BIC adapter kit?
No. The Sargent 130KB is a standard duty mortise thumbturn in the 8200 Series, and the Sargent 130W is a mortise thumbturn with a round backplate in the 7800 Series. Both are inside-turn trim pieces that operate a lock from the secure side without a key. The Alarm Lock ET-BIC goes the other direction: it adapts a Best 6-7-pin SFIC keyed cylinder into Alarm Lock electronic access control. They occupy different sides of the opening and neither replaces the other.
14) For an electronic mortise lock on a card or credential system instead of an SFIC keyed override, what are the options?
The ET-BIC adapter kit exists to bring a Best SFIC key system into Alarm Lock electronic access control. For credential-based openings, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, and the Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating. Those read a credential; the ET-BIC serves the mechanical key side.
15) The ET-BIC adapter kit is Grade 1. What other Grade 1 mortise hardware carries that rating?
The Alarm Lock ET-BIC kit carries BHMA Grade 1 certification. Among mortise peers at the same grade: the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with a fire rating and field reversible operation, and the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. Those are complete locksets by function; the ET-BIC is the cylinder adapter.
16) What is the difference between the Alarm Lock ET-BIC adapter kit and a mortise deadbolt like the Sargent 4874?
The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a no-handing mortise lock with a deadbolt function. Those throw a bolt into the frame. The Alarm Lock ET-BIC does not lock anything by itself; it is the kit that lets a Best 6-7-pin SFIC rim cylinder work with Alarm Lock electronic access control hardware. A door that needs added bolt security takes a deadbolt, not an adapter kit.
17) For a hardwired electric mortise lock tied into an access control panel, what fits instead of an Alarm Lock adapter kit?
The Alarm Lock ET-BIC serves standalone Alarm Lock electronic hardware with keypad reading and an SFIC key override. For openings run from a panel with wired power, the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, the Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC and a storeroom function, and the Schlage L9092EU electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock is keyed outside with request to exit on 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those need power run to the opening; the ET-BIC does not.
18) Can a Baldwin or Hager mortise lock body be ordered in place of the Alarm Lock ET-BIC for a door already running Alarm Lock electronic trim?
Not as a swap. The Baldwin 6310 is an entry/storeroom knob by knob mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over, and the Hager 3810S is a 3800 Series Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch. Those are mechanical lock bodies mortised into the door edge with their own trim. The Alarm Lock ET-BIC bridges a Best 6-7-pin SFIC rim cylinder into Alarm Lock electronic access control, so it keeps the existing electronic device in service instead of replacing it.
19) How long does it take to install the Best SFIC adapter kit on an Alarm Lock unit?
Minutes, not a full trim replacement. The adapter drops the core into the existing cylinder position on the Alarm Lock device, so there's no new door prep and no re-drilling. Follow the parent device's installation instructions for the cylinder pocket on your specific unit.
20) Does an Emtek or Falcon dummy mortise trim do the same job as the Alarm Lock ET-BIC adapter kit?
No. The Emtek 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton, 3106 Manhattan and 3019 Brisbane are all dummy function mortise entrance locksets, and the Falcon MESC600DT is a fire rated dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 Series exit devices. Dummy trim is fixed and has no operating mechanism at all. The Alarm Lock ET-BIC is a functional adapter that mates a Best 6-7-pin SFIC rim cylinder to Alarm Lock electronic access control, so it carries key operation into the device.
21) The ET-BIC kit comes in US26D satin chrome and USB10 oil rubbed bronze. What comparable mortise hardware is offered in stainless finishes?
The Alarm Lock ET-BIC adapter kit is offered in US26D satin chrome and USB10 oil rubbed bronze. Among mortise peers finished in stainless, the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel, ligature resistant and ADA compliant, and the TownSteel MRX-A-01 and MRX-L-01 are satin stainless steel Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature passage mortise locksets for 1-3/4 inch doors. Satin chrome and satin stainless read closely on a door, which matters when the adapter sits next to existing trim.
