Alarm Lock PDLN4500DBR/26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Alarm Lock PDLN4500 fit my door thickness and standard backset prep?
The PDLN4500 Trilogy lock is a cylindrical lockset built for a 2-3/4 inch backset and a door thickness range of 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches. If your openings are thinner than 1-5/8 inches, this is not the right body. Strike prep covers both T-standard and ASA, so it drops into most commercial frames already cut for a cylindrical lock.
2) Do I have to order the Trilogy PDLN4500 handed, or can I flip it on site?
Specify right hand or left hand when you order, but the lock is reversible in the field, so a crew that ends up with the wrong hand on site can correct it without a return. Both hands are offered in US26D satin chrome.
3) What credentials does the PDLN4500 read besides the keypad?
Two ways in: the 12 button all metal weatherproof keypad, and HID proximity credentials. It reads 26 to 37 bit HID card and keyfob formats, so an existing HID badge population in that bit range works without reissuing cards. All programming is done at the keypad.
4) Is the Alarm Lock Trilogy 4500 fire door rated and Grade 1?
The Steelcase lockbody meets BHMA specifications for Grade 1 locks, and the unit is UL listed to the 10C positive pressure specification. It is also FCC certified, and the levers are ADA compliant. That combination is what an institutional spec usually calls for on a rated opening.
5) Does the PDLN4500 have a deadbolt, and will it latch into my existing strike?
Both bolts are there. The stainless deadbolt throws 1 inch and the deadlocking latchbolt throws 3/4 inch. The deadbolt can be thrown from the key cylinder outside or the turn piece inside. A 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch strike is included, and standard T and ASA strike preps are supported, so an opening already cut for an ANSI strike will take it.
6) What cylinder does the Trilogy PDLN4500 take if I want it on my existing key system?
It ships with a 1-3/8 inch mortise cylinder and a cloverleaf cam, and it will accept cylinders from 1-3/8 to 1-1/2 inch. Cams for other manufacturers' cylinders are available, which is how you put it on an existing masterkey system. It uses a conventional cylinder rather than an interchangeable core.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 electronic cylindrical privacy lock to the Alarm Lock PDLN4500?
The PDLN4500 is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock with privacy/bed/bath function and keypad entry. The closest peer on the same three points is the Schlage CO-100-CY-40-KP, a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic cylindrical lock in privacy function with a keypad and cylinder options. The difference in fit: the PDLN4500 covers a 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range, while the CO-100 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) I need a card-credential cylindrical lock but not proximity cards - what else reads a credential instead of a keypad code?
The PDLN4500 combines a proximity card reader with a pushbutton keypad and reads HID formats. If the credential technology needs to be RFID or Bluetooth instead, the comparable options are the TownSteel FCE-2000, a Grade 1 standalone motorized cylindrical lockset with RFID technology; the Schlage XE360M, a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock with a smart mobile reader; and the CENTRIOS CEB100, a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock. The TownSteel and Schlage units are catalogued in classroom/storeroom function rather than privacy.
9) Is there a keypad-only version if we do not need proximity cards on the PDLN4500?
Yes - several comparable cylindrical locks use a keypad without a card reader. The TownSteel XCE-2000 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad, fitting 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors in classroom function; 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 SDC E75 is a battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch doors. The PDLN4500 itself programs all functions through its 12-button weatherproof metal keypad and adds the proximity antenna on top.
10) We only need mechanical privacy on interior doors - what replaces the PDLN4500 without electronics?
The PDLN4500 is battery operated and electronic, which is more than an interior bath or bedroom door needs. For the same privacy/bed/bath function without power, the Cal-Royal CAL20 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty privacy lock in the Calypso series covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Orca Hardware OCL240 is a medium duty Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lockset. Neither carries a credential reader or keypad, so there is no programming or battery service.
11) The door on our job is 2 inches thick - what electronic cylindrical lock fits when the PDLN4500 does not?
The PDLN4500 fits doors from 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, so a 2 inch door is outside that range. Comparable electronic cylindrical locks that reach 2 inches include the TownSteel XCE-2000 and XCE-9000, both Grade 1 keypad cylindrical locksets listed at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch; the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE wireless Grade 1 lock at 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch; and the SDC E75 keypad lockset at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch.
12) What do I need to specify when ordering the PDLN4500 besides finish?
Three things get settled on the order: handing (right or left), finish (US26D satin chrome), and keying. Keying is a required choice of keyed different, keyed alike, or a specific key code, and if you pick key code you enter the code so the override cylinders match the rest of your building.
13) What does the privacy function on the Alarm Lock Trilogy 4500 actually do?
The privacy feature locks out all users for a programmed length of time, so a room in use cannot be opened by other codes or credentials during that window. There is also a residency feature that lets someone exit without having to relock the door behind them. That pairing suits dorm rooms, patient rooms, and guest rooms more than a plain storeroom opening.
14) How does the PDLN4500 compare to a Schlage CO-100 keypad lock for a privacy opening?
Both are Grade 1 electronic cylindrical locks with a privacy function. The Schlage CO-100-CY-40-KP is keypad only and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, a single thickness. The PDLN4500 adds HID proximity credential reading alongside the keypad and covers 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, so it is the one to pick if your building already carries HID badges or your door thicknesses vary.
15) Does the Alarm Lock PDLN4500 need to be wired to power or an access control panel?
No wiring to the door. The lock is battery operated and standalone at the opening, with all functions programmed through the keypad. If your project requires a hardwired lock fed from a panel, the SDC Electra 7200 Series solenoid controlled cylindrical lock runs on 12/24VDC instead.
16) What is the difference between the PDLN4500 and the TownSteel XCE-9000 or FCE-4000 for a school?
The PDLN4500 is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock in privacy/bed/bath function, where the privacy feature locks out all users for a programmed period. The TownSteel XCE-9000 is a Grade 1 electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the FCE-4000 is a Grade 1 RFID electronic intruder classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors - both are built around classroom function and intruder lockdown from inside the room rather than a privacy lockout.
17) Can I use an SDC Electra 7200 in place of the Alarm Lock PDLN4500?
Not as a drop-in. The PDLN4500 is battery operated on C alkaline cells at the door with no wiring run required. The SDC Electra 7200 is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock on dual voltage 12/24VDC, so it needs a power supply and wiring to the opening, and it is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors rather than the 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch the PDLN4500 covers. The 7200 also carries no onboard keypad or card reader - credentials come from the access control system feeding it.
18) Is the Kwikset SmartCode 912TNL an alternative to the Alarm Lock PDLN4500 for apartments?
They are different classes of product. The PDLN4500 is a commercial Grade 1 cylindrical lock reading 26-37 bit HID card and keyfob formats with a weatherproof all-metal 12-button keypad. 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 - it is code and home-automation based, without proximity card credentials.
19) We need keyed entry on the door, not privacy - what mechanical lockset should we order instead of the PDLN4500?
For a straightforward keyed entrance opening, the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 single cylinder entry lever lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock in entry/office function over the same thickness range, and the Marks USA 195RAB is a Grade 1 Survivor Series entry clutched lever supplied less core. All three match the PDLN4500 on Grade 1 but use a key cylinder rather than a keypad and proximity credential.
20) Do the Lockey E985 or E995 keypad lever locks do the same job as the PDLN4500?
They overlap on keypad entry only. The Lockey E985 and E995 are electronic keypad lever locks with remote control, both listed for 1 3/8 inch to 1 3/4 inch doors, and the E985 adds key override. The PDLN4500 differs in credential and network: it reads 26-37 bit HID proximity cards and keyfobs in addition to keypad codes, is a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lock, and includes a 1 1/4 inch by 4 7/8 inch strike with a 2 3/4 inch backset.
21) What is a mechanical keyless option if we want code entry on the PDLN4500 opening but no batteries at all?
The Lockey 1600 is a heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with adjustable backset for 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 thickness range. Both give pushbutton code entry with no power source, where the PDLN4500 runs on batteries. Neither reads a proximity card or supports the card and keyfob credentials the PDLN4500 accepts.
22) Which comparable locks look like substitutes for the PDLN4500 but will not work on a secured opening?
Dummy and passage trims are the ones to rule out. The Dorma C501 single dummy trim and the Orca OCL2170 Grade 2 half dummy lever are non-latching pull trims, and the Dorma CL701 is a Grade 2 single dummy non-keyed lever. Passage sets such as the Cal-Royal CAL30 Grade 1 passage lock, the Marks USA 195N Grade 1 Survivor passage lever, and the Orca OCL210 Grade 2 passage lockset latch but do not lock. The PDLN4500 is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath lock with credential-based access control, so none of these carry its function.
23) Can I get an SFIC or keyway-specific cylindrical lock instead of the PDLN4500 to match our existing keying?
The PDLN4500 ships with a 1 3/8 inch conventional mortise cylinder and accepts 1 3/8 inch to 1 1/2 inch cylinders, with a cloverleaf cam supplied and cams for other manufacturers' cylinders available. If the requirement is small format interchangeable core instead, the Marks USA 175RF SFIC is a Grade 2 storeroom clutched lever supplied less core with a 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI strike. For a specific keyway, the Stanley QCL200 is furnished keyed different in SC keyway with a 118F ANSI 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch strike.
24) Is the PDLN4500 keypad suitable for an exterior door?
The keypad is weatherproof and all metal, and the proximity antenna housing is molded from impact resistant Lexan, so it holds up on exterior and high traffic openings. The lockbody carries a Grade 1 BHMA rating and the product is catalogued for commercial use, not residential duty.
