Alarm Lock PDL6500CRR US10B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the PDL6500, or can it be reversed on site?
Specify right hand or left hand on the order, and the lock is also reversible in the field. Both handings are stocked in US26D satin chrome and US10B oil rubbed bronze, so the finish choice does not limit the handing. Ordering the correct hand up front saves the reversal step on install day.
2) Will the PDL6500 latch into the strike prep already in my frame?
The PDL6500 ships with a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch strike and is built for T-Standard and ASA strike preps, which are the two common commercial mortise frame preps. The stainless steel latchbolt throws 3/4 inch and deadlocks. If your frame is already prepped for an ASA (1-1/4 x 4-7/8) strike, the lock drops into it; a frame cut for a different strike pattern needs the prep enlarged or filled.
3) What does the classroom function do on the Alarm Lock PDL6500, and is there key override?
Classroom function on the PDL6500 means the outside lever is controlled by credential (proximity card or keypad code) while the inside lever always allows free egress. The latchbolt is stainless steel with 3/4 inch projection and a deadlocking latch. A 1-3/8 inch mortise cylinder comes supplied for mechanical override, and the lock accepts a 1-3/8 to 1-1/2 inch mortise cylinder if you are keying it into an existing system.
4) Can I key the PDL6500 override cylinder into the master key system already on my building?
Yes, within cylinder length. The lock comes with a 1-3/8 inch mortise cylinder and accepts 1-3/8 to 1-1/2 inch mortise cylinders, so a cylinder from your existing system in that length range can go in. Keying is chosen at order: keyed different, keyed alike across the group, or to a specific key code you supply.
5) What credentials does the Alarm Lock PDL6500 accept, and does it read our existing HID cards?
Two ways in: a proximity reader and an all-metal 12 button keypad. The proximity side reads HID II in 26 to 37 bit format, so existing HID II credentials in that bit range work without reissuing badges. Users who prefer a PIN use the keypad, and basic functions are programmed through the keypad itself.
6) Should I buy a networked lock like the PDL6500 or a standalone electronic mortise lock?
Go networked when you need to change access or lock down doors without walking to each opening. The PDL6500 communicates over 802.11 or Ethernet on the Trilogy Networx system, supports up to 5000 users and 2000 doors, and can trigger a global lockdown or unlock in about 10 seconds from any networked PC or authorized lock. If you only have a handful of doors and nobody to run a network head end, a standalone keypad mortise lock such as the Schlage CO-100 in the CO Series is programmed at the door and costs you no infrastructure. The tradeoff is that every credential change on a standalone becomes a trip to the door.
7) Is the Alarm Lock PDL6500 approved for a fire rated classroom door, and does it meet ADA?
The PDL6500 is UL Listed to the 10C Positive Pressure Specification and its Steelcase lock body meets BHMA specifications for Grade 1 locks. Levers are ADA compliant, and the unit is FCC Certified for the wireless radio. That combination is what an institutional spec on a rated classroom opening typically calls for.
8) Does the PDL6500 need low voltage power run to the door?
No wiring to the lock for power. The PDL6500 runs on 4 C-cell batteries, included, with 5 plus years of expected life, so there is no power transfer hinge or door loop to install. If you would rather hardwire, a wired electromechanical mortise lock like the BEST 45HW Series operates on 12V or 24V and does need power run to the opening.
9) Can teachers lock a classroom door from inside with the PDL6500 during a lockdown?
Lockdown on the PDL6500 is a system action, not a lever action. Global lockdown or unlock is triggered in about 10 seconds from any networked PC or from an authorized lock on the Networx system, with 900MHz bidirectional communication and 128-bit AES encryption. If your requirement is a teacher throwing a dedicated intruder lockdown at the door itself, look at TownSteel's FME-4000 Series, an electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset, or the BEST 45HCA mortise lockbody with intruder function.
10) Which classroom mortise lock should be used instead of the Alarm Lock PDL6500 when the opening needs a mechanical key-only lock with no electronics?
The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both deliver classroom function keyed operation without a reader, keypad, batteries, or network. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lock with proximity card and 12-button keypad credentials and a door thickness range of 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. Choose the mechanical locksets when the facility does not want audit trail or credential management on that door.
11) What is the closest equivalent to the Alarm Lock PDL6500 if the school wants RFID credentials on a Grade 1 classroom mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The TownSteel FME-2000 Series is the nearest match in the mortise electronic classroom category: it is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID technology and classroom function, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lock with a proximity card reader and a 12-button metal keypad, a 2-3/4 inch backset, and a door thickness range of 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The functional difference for a buyer is credential entry: the PDL6500 accepts both proximity cards and keypad codes, while the FME-2000 is described with RFID technology. Door thickness also differs, so measure the leaf before choosing.
12) How does the Schlage LEMD-GRW compare to the Alarm Lock PDL6500 for a wireless proximity mortise lock?
The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader, mobile enabled deadbolt with LED, Greenwich trim, right hand, and a 3 hour fire rating. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lock with a proximity reader plus a 12-button metal keypad, 2-3/4 inch backset, and T-Standard and ASA strike compatibility. The LEMD-GRW is furnished right hand as a specific part, while the PDL6500 is ordered right hand or left hand and is field reversible. The PDL6500 adds keypad code entry alongside the card credential.
13) Is the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 a direct substitute for the Alarm Lock PDL6500 on a classroom door?
Not on grade. The Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access rated BHMA Grade 2, while the Alarm Lock PDL6500 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lock. The PDL6500 is also specified as classroom function with a proximity reader and 12-button keypad. If the specification on the drawing calls for Grade 1 classroom, the Saffire does not meet it; it fits openings where Grade 2 and mobile credentials are acceptable.
14) What should be specified instead of the Alarm Lock PDL6500 when the access control head end is hardwired rather than wireless?
For a hardwired opening, the BEST 45HW Series wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, the Command Access ML190 Series motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation and 24VDC power, or the Schlage L9092EU electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock with request to exit at 12/24VDC all run off building power through the frame. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 runs on 4 C-cell batteries and communicates over 802.11 or Ethernet as part of the Networx system. Choose the wired locks when the design already includes power transfer and a panel at the door.
15) Which lock covers an intruder or lockdown-from-inside classroom function that the Alarm Lock PDL6500 does not?
The TownSteel FME-4000 Series is an electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology, Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST 45HCA mortise lockbody is offered with intruder function as a heavy duty lock body. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 is a classroom function lock whose latchbolt is a stainless steel deadlocking latch with 3/4 inch projection, and whose lockdown is performed globally in about 10 seconds from a networked PC or an authorized lock. Specify the intruder function locks when the requirement is a teacher securing the door from inside the room at the lock itself.
16) What are the alternatives to the Alarm Lock PDL6500 for a networked or credential-read classroom mortise lock?
A few real options depending on credential type and network. The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW in the ENGAGE Series is a Grade 1 wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile credentials, carrying a 3 hour fire rating. TownSteel's FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset using RFID, and the FME-4000 Series adds an electronic intruder classroom function for lockdown from inside the room, both for 1-3/4 inch doors. Dormakaba's E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 pushbutton and card mortise lock in a back to back arrangement. The PDL6500 is the pick when you want HID II prox plus keypad on a Trilogy Networx head end.
17) How does request-to-exit work on the Alarm Lock PDL6500 classroom lock?
REX on the PDL6500 reports in real time when the lock is integrated with CIC, Lenel, or Stanley B.A.S.I.S. Run on Networx instead and REX sounds at the door and records to the audit trail rather than reporting live to an access panel. Worth settling before you spec it, because a security integrator expecting live REX at the head end will get door-local behavior on a Networx-only system.
18) What do I have to specify when ordering an Alarm Lock PDL6500 classroom mortise lock?
Three decisions on the order form. Handing, right or left. Finish, US26D satin chrome or US10B oil rubbed bronze. And keying for the override cylinder: keyed different, keyed alike, or a specific key code you supply. The 1-3/8 inch mortise cylinder, the 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch strike, and the 4 C-cell batteries all come with the lock, so nothing extra is needed to make it function on a properly prepped door.
19) What is a simpler alternative to the Alarm Lock PDL6500 for a single door that needs keypad access but no network or card reader?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock with key override, or the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 Series electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock, both give pushbutton credential entry on a mortise lock body without card credentials. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 pairs a proximity reader with a 12-button metal keypad and is a Grade 1 classroom function lock. If the door only ever needs a code, the keypad-only locks reduce what has to be commissioned; if cards are already issued in the building, the PDL6500 reads them.
20) What looks like a substitute for the Alarm Lock PDL6500 but will not secure a classroom door?
Several mortise parts sit near it in a search and cannot do the job. The Schlage L0170 is a half dummy trim, a Grade 1 non-keyed mortise lever with dummy function. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock. The Sargent 130KB and 130W are mortise thumbturns. None of those latch against a credential. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 is a Grade 1 classroom function mortise lock with a proximity reader and 12-button metal keypad and a deadlocking stainless steel latchbolt with 3/4 inch projection.
21) For a dorm or corridor opening rather than a classroom, what mortise lock replaces the Alarm Lock PDL6500?
The Sargent 7925 is a dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, Grade 1 heavy duty in the 7900 Series with corridor/dormitory function. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 is a Grade 1 classroom function mortise lock with a proximity reader and 12-button keypad and no deadbolt in its function description. Where the residence life requirement is a deadbolt thrown by the occupant, the 7925 is the correct function; where the requirement is credentialed entry with audit at the door, the PDL6500 is.
22) How does the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 compare with the Alarm Lock PDL6500 for a card and pushbutton mortise lock?
The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress electronic pushbutton and card mortise lock in the E-Plex 5X86 Series, configured back to back so both sides carry the trim. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a proximity reader and 12-button metal keypad on the outside, classroom function, with request-to-exit capability and 2-3/4 inch backset. Choose the E5086 where credentials are required in both directions of travel; choose the PDL6500 where classroom function with free egress and REX reporting is what the door needs.
23) Is the Schlage CO-100 mortise lock an alternative to the Alarm Lock PDL6500 for a school?
Only for a different opening. The Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock in the comparable set is the privacy function version with a keypad reader, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and it is standalone rather than networked. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 is Grade 1 classroom function with a proximity reader and 12-button keypad and communicates over 802.11 or Ethernet for global lockdown from a networked PC. Restrooms and single-occupancy rooms suit the privacy CO-100; graded classroom openings that must be locked down centrally suit the PDL6500.
24) What is the equivalent to the Alarm Lock PDL6500 if the door needs a touchscreen keypad with cylinder override instead of a proximity reader?
The Accentra NTM623-NR is a Grade 1 nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad, no deadbolt, with cylinder override. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 uses an all metal 12-button keypad alongside a proximity reader and is supplied with a 1-3/8 inch mortise cylinder, accepting 1-3/8 inch to 1-1/2 inch mortise cylinders. Both are Grade 1 mortise electronic locks; the choice comes down to touchscreen versus mechanical buttons and whether card credentials are needed at that door.
25) Can a Cal-Royal NM8080 storeroom or Accentra 8805FL storeroom mortise lock stand in for the Alarm Lock PDL6500?
They are a different function. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with 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. Storeroom keeps the outside lever locked at all times with key entry only. The Alarm Lock PDL6500 is a classroom function lock where credentials at the proximity reader or 12-button keypad grant entry. If a teacher or staff member needs to leave the door in a passage state on schedule, the storeroom locks will not do it.
26) What finishes does the Alarm Lock PDL6500 come in?
Two finishes on the PDL6500: US26D satin chrome and US10B oil rubbed bronze. Satin chrome is the usual match for institutional and school corridors where the rest of the hardware is brushed; oil rubbed bronze suits darker architectural trim. Both are available in right hand and left hand.
27) What mortise lock fits a 1-3/4 inch door when the Alarm Lock PDL6500 thickness range does not reach?
The Alarm Lock PDL6500 fits doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, so a 1-3/4 inch leaf is inside its range and no substitution is needed on thickness alone. If the requirement is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lock built specifically around a 1-3/4 inch door, the Cal-Royal NM8070 heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch and the TownSteel FME-2000 Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID both list a 1-3/4 inch door thickness.
