Alarm Lock PDL8600CRR/26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the PDL8600CR handed, or can I flip it on site?
Specify right hand or left hand on the order, but the lock is field reversible if you end up with the wrong one or the opening changes. Both handings are built in satin chrome US26D.
2) What cylinder does the Alarm Lock PDL8600CR take for key override?
It ships with a 1-3/8 inch mortise cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the lock body will accept a mortise cylinder from 1-3/8 inch up to 1-1/2 inch. If your building is already keyed in Schlage C, the supplied cylinder can be swapped for one cut to your existing system without changing the lock.
3) Will the PDL8600CR latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The lock uses a stainless steel latchbolt with a 3/4 inch projection and a deadlocking latch, and a 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike is included in the box. If your frame already has the standard 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 ANSI mortise strike cutout, the included strike drops straight in. A frame prepped for a smaller T-strike will need to be modified.
4) How do you get audit data off the Alarm Lock PDL8600CR without running wire to the door?
Networx handles it over the air. The PDL8600CR communicates by 802.11 wireless or Ethernet back to a DL-Windows equipped PC, so user codes, card credentials and schedules can be pushed and audit records pulled remotely with no hardwiring at the opening. The lock itself runs on batteries, so the door needs no power feed either.
5) Is the Alarm Lock PDL8600CR approved for a fire rated opening?
The lock is UL Listed to the 10C Positive Pressure Specification, the steel lock body meets BHMA Grade 1 requirements, and the levers are ADA compliant. It is also FCC certified for the wireless side. That combination is what institutional and government specs typically call for on a rated corridor or stairwell door.
6) Can I use the PDL8600CR on a 2 inch or thicker door?
No. The PDL8600CR tops out at 1-7/8 inch door thickness. For a thicker leaf you need a mortise lock rated for it, such as the Hager 3800 Series, which covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch on the 3810 passage models. Note those Hager units are mechanical, so you would be giving up the credential and audit functions.
7) What function is the Alarm Lock PDL8600CR, and is it right for a classroom?
It is a classroom function mortise with a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt at 3/4 inch projection. The outside lever is controlled by card, code or key; the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. If your school security plan calls for intruder or classroom-security lockdown from inside the room, that is a different function, and a lockset such as the TownSteel FME-4000 Series electronic intruder classroom mortise or the Marks USA LA318GJ classroom security indicator mortise is the product to look at instead.
8) What is the closest alternative to the Alarm Lock PDL8600CR if I need a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with both card and keypad credentials?
The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is the nearest match on credential type. It is a Grade 1 electronic pushbutton and card mortise lock in a back-to-back configuration, so it reads a card or accepts a keypad code the same way the PDL8600CR pairs a 13.56 MHz iClass proximity reader with a 12-button metal keypad. The PDL8600CR is the one to specify when you want the Networx side - 802.11 or Ethernet connectivity for remote programming and audit collection without hardwiring the door.
9) I only need keypad entry, no cards. What is a simpler option than the PDL8600CR?
For keypad-only openings, the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock includes a key override function, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock. Either drops the proximity credential entirely. The PDL8600CR carries a 13.56 MHz iClass reader alongside its 12-button metal keypad and holds up to 5000 user codes with a 35,000 entry audit trail, which is what you give up going keypad-only.
10) What should I use instead of the PDL8600CR on a door that has a hardwired access control panel already run to it?
The PDL8600CR is a battery-operated lock on 4 C-cell power that communicates over 802.11 or Ethernet without hardwiring. Where power is already at the frame, the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V, the Command Access ML190 is a motorized storeroom-function mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC, and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is an electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock with request-to-exit on 12/24VDC.
11) Is the Schlage LEMD-GRW an equivalent to the Alarm Lock PDL8600CR?
They are close but not interchangeable. The Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125 kHz proximity reader, mobile enabled, with a deadbolt and LED on Greenwich trim, right hand, and carries a 3 hour fire rating. The PDL8600CR reads 13.56 MHz iClass smart cards, so the credentials are not the same frequency and existing cards will not carry over between them. The PDL8600CR also adds a 12-button metal keypad for code entry and talks over 802.11 or Ethernet.
12) What credentials does the PDL8600CR read, and how many users can it hold?
Two ways in: a 13.56 MHz iClass smart card proximity reader and an all-metal 12 button keypad taking 3 to 6 digit codes. It holds up to 5000 users and logs 35,000 audit trail events. Basic programming can be done at the keypad itself, so a small site never has to touch the software.
13) What happens at the door when the batteries in the PDL8600CR get low?
It runs on C-cell batteries with battery status monitoring, and the mechanical key override is always there as a backup. Rated life is about 60,000 typical cycles, which on a moderate-traffic office or classroom door is a long service interval. The lock is also weatherproof rated, so it holds up on an exterior opening.
14) Can the PDL8600CR tell me if a door is propped open?
Yes. The internal relay is programmable for door ajar and forced door conditions, with an audible sounder for local alerts, and the real-time clock lets you schedule time-based events such as automatic unlock periods. Clock accuracy is within one second with automatic daylight saving adjustment.
15) How does the Alarm Lock PDL8600CR compare to other networked or card-reading mortise locks?
The PDL8600CR is a battery lock with an iClass 13.56 MHz reader plus keypad that reports over 802.11 or Ethernet. If you want an RFID Grade 1 mortise instead, the TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 classroom mortise with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise with a 125 kHz proximity reader. For keypad only with no card, look at the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 Series or the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise with key override. If the door needs to be wired and run off building power rather than batteries, the BEST 45HW Series is a wired electromechanical mortise lock at 12V/24V.
16) My door is 1-3/4 inch thick. Does the PDL8600CR fit, or should I look at something else?
The PDL8600CR is built for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, so a 1-3/4 inch door falls inside that range. If you are standardizing a run of 1-3/4 inch doors on electronic mortise hardware from another line, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with RFID rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader is also listed at 1-3/4 inch.
17) What is the difference between the PDL8600CR and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 RFID mortise lock?
The Saffire LX-I-M002 is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2. The PDL8600CR is a Grade 1 lock whose Steelcase body meets BHMA Grade 1 and is UL listed to the 10C positive pressure specification, with proximity plus a 12-button keypad rather than mobile credentials. Pick the Saffire if phone-based access matters more than the higher grade; pick the PDL8600CR where a Grade 1 body and keypad backup are the spec.
18) We need a classroom-function mortise lock but not an electronic one. What replaces the PDL8600CR mechanically?
The PDL8600CR uses a classroom function with a stainless steel latchbolt at 3/4 inch projection and deadlocking latch. On the purely mechanical side, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither carries a keypad, proximity reader, or audit trail.
19) Will the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch work as a substitute for the PDL8600CR?
Only for a different requirement. The Accentra NTM623-NR is a Grade 1 nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override, and it is the no-deadbolt version. The PDL8600CR uses an all-metal 12-button keypad rather than a touchscreen and adds the 13.56 MHz iClass proximity reader plus 802.11 or Ethernet networking, so if your credentials are iClass cards or the site runs Networx, the nexTouch is not a drop-in.
20) Is there an electronic mortise lock with an intruder or lockdown function instead of the PDL8600CR classroom function?
Yes. The TownSteel FME-4000 is an electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology, Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a mechanical lockdown body, the BEST 45HCA heavy duty mortise lockbody carries an intruder function. The PDL8600CR is a classroom function lock and does not provide inside-the-room lockdown, though it does offer relay programming for door ajar and forced door alerts.
21) We have a dormitory corridor that needs a deadbolt with exit function. Is the PDL8600CR right, or something else?
For that opening the Sargent 7925 is the closer fit - a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt in the 7900 Series. The PDL8600CR is a classroom function lock with a keypad and proximity reader and is the choice when you need credential-based access and a 35,000 entry audit trail on the door rather than a mechanical dormitory deadbolt.
22) Is the Schlage LEBMB-ADD an alternative to the PDL8600CR for apartment doors?
It is an alternative with a different grade and credential set. The Schlage LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 mobile-enabled mortise lock with push button and LED covering privacy, office, and apartment functions, for 1-3/4 inch doors, with a 3 hour fire rating. The PDL8600CR is a Grade 1 lock with a 12-button keypad and iClass proximity reader that handles up to 5000 users - the higher user count and network reporting are the reasons to choose it on a multi-tenant property.
23) Does the PDL8600CR deadbolt the same way a Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt does?
No, and they are not substitutes for each other. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and no latch or lever - it is a standalone deadbolt body. The PDL8600CR is a full electronic mortise lockset at the same 2-3/4 inch backset with a classroom-function latchbolt, keypad, and proximity reader. Use the 4874 where you want a separate auxiliary deadbolt above an existing lock, not as a replacement for the PDL8600CR.
24) Our building standard is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock. What pairs with the PDL8600CR on the doors that do not need access control?
The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom function 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. Either keeps the Grade 1 mortise standard across the building while the PDL8600CR covers the openings that need credentials and audit reporting.
