Alarm Lock PL3000 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backset does the PL3000 use, and can it go on a 2-3/8 inch prep?
The lock ships with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the normal commercial bore layout. A 2-3/8 inch backset is also available, so an older door prepped at 2-3/8 can be handled, but that has to be specified on the order rather than assumed.
2) Do I need to order the PL3000 handed?
No handing to specify. The PL3000 is non-handed and the latchbolt is field reversible, so one lock covers left and right hand openings.
3) Will the PL3000 latch work in my existing frame strike?
Both strikes come 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. The latchbolt has a 1/2 inch throw. If your frame is already cut for an ASA (4-7/8 inch) lip strike, use the ASA plate; a wood frame mortised for a T strike takes the smaller one.
4) Can I use a keypad code on the Alarm Lock PL3000 or is it card only?
Card only. The PL3000 is a proximity-only Trilogy lock, reading 26 to 37 bit HID cards and keyfobs. There is no PIN entry. If you need pushbutton codes instead, look at a keypad model such as the TownSteel XCE-2000 or the BEST 9KZ EZ Series.
5) Does the PL3000 have a key override, and can it take our SFIC cores?
Both cylinder options are offered. The standard build has a key override with a conventional cylinder. The IC version is prepped for small format interchangeable core and ships less core, so you supply and key your own SFIC to match the rest of the building.
6) What is the closest alternative to the Alarm Lock PL3000 if I need a card-credential Grade 1 cylindrical lock rather than a keypad?
The PL3000 Trilogy reads proximity cards and keyfobs only, with no keypad, and carries a Grade 1 rating on a cylindrical chassis. The closest card-reading peer is the TownSteel FCE-2000 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone motorized cylindrical lockset using RFID credentials in a classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors. The TownSteel FCE-4000 Series is also RFID, Grade 1 heavy duty, and adds classroom intruder function on 1-3/4 inch doors. The PL3000 covers a 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range and runs on 5 AA batteries.
7) We want PIN code entry instead of cards on the same type of door. What should we look at instead of the PL3000?
The PL3000 Trilogy is proximity-credential only, so a keypad model is a different product. The TownSteel XCE-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic cylindrical lockset with a keypad in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the XCE-9000 Series is the classroom intruder keypad version over the same door range. The SDC E75 Series is a battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch doors, and the BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with key override. The PL3000 itself fits 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors.
8) The PL3000 is standalone. What is a comparable lock if we need it to report to a networked access control system?
The PL3000 Trilogy stores its records locally with an onboard audit trail and up to 2,000 user codes, with no wiring required since it runs on 5 AA batteries. If the opening must tie into a system, the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wireless cylindrical lock using 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy with mobile enablement for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock with a smart mobile reader for 1-3/4 inch doors. The SDC Electra 7200 Series is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock on dual voltage 12/24VDC for hardwired control.
9) Our door is 2 inches thick. Will the PL3000 work, and if not what else fits?
The PL3000 Trilogy is built for a 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range, so a 2 inch door is outside it. Electronic cylindrical peers that reach 2 inches include the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series, Grade 1 heavy duty keypad at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the TownSteel XCE-9000 Series over the same range, the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE wireless lock at 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch, and the SDC E75 Series keypad lockset at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch. The SDC Electra 7200 solenoid controlled lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
10) Can the PL3000 go on an exterior door?
Yes. The prox antenna housing is weatherproof, all metal, and molded of impact resistant Lexan, and the lock is rated weatherproof for exterior use. Power is self contained on 5 AA alkaline batteries, so no wiring has to be run to the opening.
11) How many users can the Trilogy PL3000 hold, and does it log entries?
Up to 2,000 users, and it keeps an audit trail of access events. It runs standalone at the door, so no panel or wiring back to a head end is needed for a building with a few hundred cardholders.
12) Do I have to specify keying when ordering the PL3000?
Yes, keying is a required selection: keyed different, keyed alike, or to a specific key code, and if you pick key code you enter it with the order. Property managers standardizing a building usually take keyed alike so one override key runs the group; the SFIC version skips this since you core it yourself.
13) Is a mechanical pushbutton lock like the Lockey 2830 a substitute for the PL3000?
They solve different problems. The PL3000 Trilogy is an electronic proximity reader lock with an audit trail and 2,000 user capacity on 5 AA batteries. The Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with an auto-locking passage function fitting 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with adjustable backset covers the same 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch range. Mechanical pushbutton locks use a shared combination with no credential-level record of who entered, so they suit openings where no audit trail or per-user management is needed.
14) If we only need a keyed mechanical lever on the same door prep instead of electronic access control, what are the options?
The PL3000 Trilogy is an electronic Grade 1 cylindrical lock with a proximity reader. For a purely mechanical Grade 1 cylindrical opening, the Dorma C853 is an entrance function single cylinder lever lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty entry/office cylindrical lock over the same door range, and the Marks USA 195RAB is a Grade 1 Survivor Series entry clutched lever supplied less core. The PL3000 offers a conventional key override cylinder or SFIC prep less core, so an SFIC facility can key either the 195RAB or the PL3000 IC version into the same system.
15) Can the Kwikset SmartCode 912TNL replace the PL3000 on a commercial exterior door?
The PL3000 Trilogy is rated Grade 1, specified for commercial use, and built with weatherproof construction including an all metal proximity antenna housing molded of impact resistant Lexan. The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 SmartCode is an electronic Tustin lever with Z-Wave technology in a keyed one side function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, designed around home automation networks. For a commercial exterior opening needing Grade 1 and card credentials, the PL3000 or the TownSteel FCE-2000 Grade 1 RFID motorized cylindrical lockset is the closer match.
16) Which electronic cylindrical locks besides the PL3000 offer a mechanical key override?
The PL3000 Trilogy is offered with a standard conventional cylinder for key override or with SFIC prep less core, so an existing key system can be carried onto the door. Among electronic peers, the BEST 9KZ EZ Series is a keypad cylindrical lock with a key override function, and the Lockey E985 is an electronic keypad lever lock with remote control and key override for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Lockey E995 is the keypad lever version with remote control and battery power over the same door range.
17) Is the Schlage CO-100 an equivalent to the PL3000 Trilogy?
Both are Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical locks, but they differ in credential and opening. The Schlage CO-100-CY-40-KP is a heavy duty Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical lock in privacy function with a keypad and cylinder options, built for 1-3/4 inch doors. The PL3000 Trilogy reads 26 to 37 bit HID proximity cards and keyfobs with no keypad, manages 2,000 users with an audit trail, and fits 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. Choose by credential type and by whether the opening needs a privacy function.
18) What is the difference between the PL3000 and a Bluetooth smart lock like the CENTRIOS CEB100?
The PL3000 Trilogy uses a proximity reader for HID card and keyfob credentials and keeps a local audit trail for up to 2,000 users on a Grade 1 cylindrical chassis. The CENTRIOS CEB100 Series is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in privacy function, and the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wireless cylindrical lock on 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy with mobile enablement for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Bluetooth models depend on a phone or app for credentialing, while the PL3000 issues physical prox cards and fobs.
19) What finishes does the Alarm Lock PL3000 come in?
Two: US26D satin chrome and oil rubbed bronze. Both are offered with either the conventional key override cylinder or the SFIC prep.
