Alarm Lock PDL5300/26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Alarm Lock PDL5300 fit a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The PDL5300 covers a door thickness range of 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches, so 1-3/4 inch commercial doors sit right in the middle of it. Backset is 2-3/4 inches, with 2-3/8 inches also available. If your door is a thinner 1-3/8 inch older interior leaf, this is the wrong lock for it.
2) Can I put the Alarm Lock PDL5300 into the existing prep on my door, or does it need a new strike?
It drops into standard cylindrical prep with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and both strikes ship in the box: a 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch T strike and a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike. So whichever of those two your frame is already cut for, you are covered without touching the frame. The latch is reversible with a 1/2 inch throw, and the lock is non-handed, so there is no handing to specify.
3) What is the difference between a double-sided keypad lock like the PDL5300 and a single-sided electronic lock?
The PDL5300 puts a programmable keypad and proximity reader on both faces of the door, so credentials are required to pass in either direction. That is what you want on a controlled interior boundary, a sallyport, or a secure zone where you need to know who left as well as who entered. The audit trail records direction of travel, and access can be programmed per user for one side or both. A single-sided lock (free egress from the inside) is the normal choice for an office or classroom door. Note the key override on the PDL5300 works only from the primary side.
4) Does the PDL5300 work with the HID prox cards we already issue in the building?
It reads 26 to 37 bit HID card and keyfob formats, so if your existing badges fall in that bit range you can keep issuing the same credentials. Users can be set up with a PIN, a prox credential, or both, up to 2000 users, with master, manager, supervisor and basic levels in the hierarchy.
5) Which cylinder option should I order on the Alarm Lock PDL5300 if our facility is keyed on small format interchangeable core?
Order the IC version, which comes with SFIC prep and less core so your locksmith drops in your existing SFIC core and the lock joins the building's keying system. The Standard version ships with a conventional cylinder for key override instead. Both cylinder choices are offered in US10B oil rubbed bronze and US26D satin chrome. Remember the key override only works from the primary side of the door.
6) Is the Alarm Lock PDL5300 approved for a fire rated door opening?
The latchbolt is UL Listed and fire rated for 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, which is the combination an institutional spec normally calls for on a rated corridor or stair door.
7) Does the PDL5300 need to be wired to the building, and how is it powered?
No building power and no wiring run. The PDL5300 is a standalone battery lock running on 5 AA alkaline batteries, which are included, and gives about 60,000 cycles of typical operation. That is why it retrofits into an existing cylindrical prep without opening the frame or pulling cable. If you specifically need a hardwired, fail-safe or fail-secure opening tied to an access panel, look at the SDC Electra 7200 Series solenoid controlled cylindrical lock, which runs on 12/24VDC.
8) My doors are 2 inches thick. Will the Alarm Lock PDL5300 work?
No. The PDL5300 tops out at 1-7/8 inches. For a 2 inch leaf, look at the TownSteel XCE-2000 or XCE-9000 electronic keypad cylindrical locksets, both listed for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, or the Schlage NDEB at 1-5/8 to 2 inches. The SDC E75 battery keypad lockset goes further still, 1-3/4 to 2-1/8 inches.
9) What is the closest equivalent to the Alarm Lock PDL5300 if I need a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock that reads credentials instead of just a keypad?
The PDL5300 is a battery-operated electronic cylindrical lock with a keypad and HID proximity reader on both sides of the door, fitting 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors on a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a credential-reading Grade 1 cylindrical alternative, the TownSteel FCE-2000 is a Grade 1 standalone motorized cylindrical lockset with RFID technology in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 ENGAGE cylindrical lock using 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy with mobile credentials, fitting 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The FCE-2000 and NDEB read on one side; the PDL5300 puts a reader and keypad on both faces, so it is the one to hold onto when you need to control and record which direction a person passed.
10) If I only need PIN codes and no proximity cards, what electronic cylindrical lock should I use instead of the PDL5300?
The PDL5300 carries both a 12-button keypad and an HID prox antenna on each side, so if cards are never going to be issued, half of it goes unused. Keypad-only Grade 1 cylindrical options include the TownSteel XCE-2000, an electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Accentra nexTouch NTB613, a Grade 1 cylindrical keypad lock with pushbutton entry. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with key override, and the SDC E75 is a battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch doors. Check the door thickness first: the PDL5300 range starts at 1-5/8 inch, while the E75 does not begin until 1-3/4 inch.
11) The PDL5300 will not fit my door thickness. What electronic cylindrical lock covers a wider range?
The PDL5300 is built for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. If the opening falls outside that, the TownSteel XCE-2000 electronic keypad cylindrical lockset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the SDC E75 battery-powered keypad cylindrical lockset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch, and the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE wireless cylindrical lock covers 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch. On the thin side, the Lockey E985 and E995 electronic keypad lever locks both fit 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which reaches below where the PDL5300 range begins.
12) My access control panel is wired and I need the lock controlled from the panel, not from the door. Does the PDL5300 work for that?
The PDL5300 is a standalone battery-operated lock: users are enrolled at the door and access decisions are made in the lock. For a cylindrical lock driven by a wired panel, the SDC Electra 7200 Series is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock with dual voltage 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, which takes its unlock signal from the system rather than a keypad on the lock. The Schlage NDEB ENGAGE cylindrical lock is a wireless 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy design for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors, which is another route if the goal is central management without pulling wire to the opening.
13) For a school that needs to lock down a classroom door from inside, is the PDL5300 the right lock or should I use something else?
The PDL5300 controls and records entry from both sides but is an access control lock, not a lockdown-function classroom lock. For classroom intruder applications, the TownSteel FCE-4000 is an RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset and the TownSteel XCE-9000 is an electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, both Grade 1 heavy duty. The Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock with offline push button function and a smart mobile reader in classroom/storeroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where the PDL5300 earns its place is the second reader: it is the one that tells you which direction each user passed.
14) Can the Alarm Lock PDL5300 go on an exterior door or an unheated stairwell?
Yes. The keypad is all metal and weatherproof, the prox antenna housing is molded Lexan, and the lock is rated to run from -31F to +151F. That covers exterior entries, loading docks and unconditioned stair towers as well as interior openings.
15) How do I get a record of who went through the door with the Alarm Lock PDL5300?
The lock stores a 40,000 event audit trail on board, with a time and date stamp and the direction of travel on each event. Because there is a reader on both faces, the log tells you which way each person passed, not just that the door opened. Useful where an investigation has to reconstruct movement through a secure zone.
16) What else could I use instead of the PDL5300 if I do not need a keypad on both sides of the door?
Several single-sided Grade 1 electronic cylindrical locks cover that. The TownSteel XCE-2000 Series is a keypad electronic cylindrical lockset in classroom function for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. The Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless cylindrical lock using 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy, and it matches the PDL5300 on the thin end of the range at 1-5/8 inches while going up to 2 inches. The Schlage CO-100 keypad lock is a Grade 1 heavy duty unit but only for 1-3/4 inch doors. Pick by door thickness first, then by whether you want standalone or a networked credential system.
17) Can I replace a mechanical pushbutton lock like a Lockey with the Alarm Lock PDL5300?
Check the door thickness before you commit. Mechanical pushbutton knob locks such as the Lockey 1600 and 2830 are listed for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors, a much wider band than the PDL5300's 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches. If the door falls inside 1-5/8 to 1-7/8, the PDL5300 goes into the same cylindrical prep and buys you 2000 users, prox credentials and a 40,000 event audit trail that a mechanical pushbutton lock cannot give you. Outside that band, stay mechanical or pick an electronic lock rated for your thickness.
18) Do I need to buy anything besides the lock to install the PDL5300?
The box carries what the opening needs: both strikes (the 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch T strike and the 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike) and the 5 AA alkaline batteries. If you order the IC version with SFIC prep, it ships less core, so you supply the interchangeable core keyed to your system. The standard version comes with its conventional cylinder for key override.
19) I want a keyless cylindrical lock without batteries or programming. What is the simpler alternative to the PDL5300?
The PDL5300 runs on 5 AA batteries and manages up to 2000 users with a 40,000 event audit trail, which means a programming session and a battery schedule. If the requirement is simply a code on the door and no records kept, the Lockey 1600 is a heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with an adjustable backset fitting 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with auto-locking passage function over the same 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch range. Both are mechanical pushbutton, so there is no card credential, no user hierarchy, and no audit record of who came through.
20) Is the Schlage CO-100 keypad lock a substitute for the Alarm Lock PDL5300?
They are both Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic cylindrical locks with keypads, but the functions differ. The Schlage CO-100 CY 40 KP is a privacy function lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it is built for a room that is secured from the inside. The PDL5300 is a double-sided access control lock with a keypad and HID prox reader on each face, 2000 user capacity, and a 40,000 event audit trail with directional tracking, for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. If the opening needs credentialed entry and a record of it, the CO-100 in privacy function is not doing the same job.
21) I am keying a building on small format interchangeable core. Which electronic cylindrical locks take an SFIC besides the PDL5300?
The PDL5300 is ordered either with a conventional cylinder for key override or with SFIC prep, less core, in oil rubbed bronze or satin chrome. Among the mechanical cylindrical locksets, the Marks USA 175RF SFIC is a Grade 2 storeroom clutched lever lockset in small format IC, less core, on a 2-3/4 inch backset with an ANSI strike, and the Marks USA 195RAB is a Grade 1 Survivor Series entry clutched lever lockset supplied less core. The Stanley QCL150 Grade 2 entry lever also ships less cylinder on a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch ASA strike. Those three are mechanical, so they take the same core but bring no keypad or credential reader.
22) Only the secured side of my door needs a reader. What single-sided electronic cylindrical lock replaces the PDL5300?
The PDL5300 is the double-sided arrangement, with a keypad on both faces and key override operable only on the primary side. When one side is enough, the Accentra nexTouch NTB613 is a Grade 1 cylindrical keypad lock with pushbutton entry, the BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with key override, and the TownSteel XCE-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic keypad cylindrical lockset for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in privacy function if the credential is meant to be a phone rather than a code.
23) Can I put a standard Grade 1 mechanical entry lockset on the door instead of the PDL5300?
You can, provided nobody needs codes, cards, or a record of entries. The PDL5300 holds 2000 users on PIN or HID prox with a 40,000 event audit trail. A keyed mechanical Grade 1 cylindrical alternative on the same 2-3/4 inch backset family includes the Dorma C853 entry keyed single cylinder lever lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Dorma C150 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock in entry/office function over the same 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch range, and the Marks USA 195RAB Grade 1 Survivor Series entry clutched lever. Access changes on those means rekeying rather than deleting a user.
24) Is the Kwikset SmartCode 912TNL an alternative to the Alarm Lock PDL5300?
They are not aimed at the same opening. The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 SmartCode is an electronic Tustin lever with Z-Wave technology in keyed-one-side function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, built to join a home automation network. The PDL5300 is a commercial BHMA Certified Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lockset with a UL Listed 3-hour fire rated latchbolt, an all-metal weatherproof keypad, and a rated operating range of -31F to +151F. For an exterior or high-traffic commercial door, those construction and fire ratings are the deciding difference.
25) Which electronic cylindrical locks hold a Grade 1 rating like the PDL5300 for a spec that requires it?
The PDL5300 is a BHMA Certified Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lockset with a UL Listed fire rated latchbolt and UL Listed 10C positive pressure specification. Other Grade 1 electronic cylindrical options are the TownSteel XCE-2000 and XCE-9000 keypad locksets, both Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the TownSteel FCE-2000 and FCE-4000 RFID locksets for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Schlage CO-100 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Schlage XE360M wireless tubular for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CENTRIOS CEB100 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock. Grade alone will not settle the spec; confirm the door thickness and the function called out on the drawing as well.
26) What should I order instead of the PDL5300 for a door that only needs free passage or privacy, not access control?
An access control lock on a passage or bathroom door is hardware nobody will program. For those openings the Cal-Royal CAL30 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and the Cal-Royal CAL20 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty privacy lock over the same range. The Marks USA 195N is a Grade 1 Survivor Series ADA compliant passage lever, which matches the PDL5300 on ADA compliant levers. Orca OCL210 passage and OCL240 privacy are Grade 2 medium duty versions of the same two functions.
