BEST 45HZ0-LV-3KP-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST 45HZ keypad mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset?
That is the standard configuration. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series keypad mortise lock ships set up for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the normal commercial prep. If the door is thicker, a thick door configuration covers up to 3 inches, but the thickness has to be specified at the time of order - it is not a field adjustment.
2) What does the LV deadbolt no key override function actually mean on the 45HZ?
No key override means there is no mechanical way to retract the deadbolt from outside. Access is through the keypad only. The 1 inch stainless steel deadbolt throws and retracts under electronic control, with a 3/4 inch stainless latchbolt handling normal latching. If your facility needs a locksmith or a master key to get past the deadbolt in an emergency, this is the wrong function - you want a 45HZ variant with cylinder override instead.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the 45HZ keypad mortise lock?
Handing is a required selection: RH, LH, RHR, or LHR. The latchbolt itself is reversible without opening the case, and the strike is universal, non-handed brass, bronze, or stainless that adjusts to the proper bevel during installation. But the keypad escutcheon and lever orientation still follow the hand you order, so get the door hand right before you place the order.
4) What cylinder does the BEST 45HZ take, and does it come with a core?
It is prepped for a BEST small format interchangeable core and ships less core. Two housing choices are offered: a 7-pin housing that accepts all BEST cores, or a less core housing. Either way you supply and key the core yourself, which is how most facilities running an existing BEST keying system want it.
5) Does the BEST 45HZ need to be wired to an access control panel?
No. It is a standalone one-door lock. Codes are programmed at the keypad, so there is no panel, no reader cable, and no head-end software to buy. If you do need the door on a networked system with audit trail and remote lockdown, look instead at a networked electronic mortise lock such as the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx wireless mortise lock or the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock.
6) My doors are 1-5/8 inch thick. Can I use the BEST 45HZ?
Not in the standard build. The 45HZ standard configuration is set for 1-3/4 inch doors, with thick door builds covering up to 3 inches. For a thinner leaf in the 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch band, the Alarm Lock Trilogy electronic mortise locks list that range directly - the DL3500CR classroom function or the DL4500DB deadbolt model, depending on what the opening needs.
7) What is the closest alternative to the BEST 45HZ keypad mortise lock if I need a key override on the cylinder?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is built as a deadbolt no key override function, so access is through the keypad only. If the opening needs a mechanical cylinder override, the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock is a keypad lock built with cylinder override, though it is a no-deadbolt configuration with a capacitive touchscreen keypad rather than a pushbutton pad. That is the trade to weigh: override key access versus the 1 inch throw stainless steel deadbolt the 45HZ carries.
8) I have a school corridor door that needs a keypad lock with classroom function instead of a deadbolt. What should I use?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is a deadbolt no key override function, which is not a classroom function. For classroom operation with a keypad, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with classroom function and 300 user codes, and the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy T2 is a Grade 1 classroom-function electronic mortise lock with a weatherproof design. Both list a door thickness range of 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, while the 45HZ is configured standard for 1-3/4 inch doors with thick door configurations up to 3 inch.
9) What is the mechanical equivalent of the BEST 45HZ if the opening does not need electronic access control?
The BEST 45HZ is an electronic keypad mortise lock, so on an opening where codes are not wanted, a keyed Grade 1 mortise lockset covers it. The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever. If the mechanical opening still needs a deadbolt, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt, also for 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) We are standardizing on credential badges rather than PIN codes. What mortise lock replaces the BEST 45HZ?
The 45HZ EZ Series is a standalone keypad lock, so codes are the credential. For card or badge credentials in a mortise body, the TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2. The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile-enabled deadbolt with LED, rated for 3 hour fire doors.
11) Is the Schlage CO-100 keypad mortise lock the same thing as the BEST 45HZ?
They are both standalone keypad mortise locks for 1-3/4 inch doors, but the functions differ. The Schlage CO-100-MS-40-KP is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock in privacy function with a keypad reader. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is a deadbolt no key override function with a 1 inch throw stainless deadbolt. Privacy and deadbolt no override behave differently at the door, so match the function to how the room is used rather than treating them as the same part.
12) Can the BEST 45HZ be used on an aluminum storefront door with an Adams Rite deadlatch?
The BEST 45HZ is built as a mortise case 5-7/8 inch H x 7/8 inch D x 4-1/16 inch W on a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch thick, which is a hollow metal or wood door preparation rather than a narrow stile storefront. For an Adams Rite deadlatch application, the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx is a wireless electronic mortise lock with keypad made specifically for Adams Rite deadlatches.
13) What is the difference between the KP and KG trim on the BEST EZ Series keypad lock?
KP is keypad only. KG adds a passage toggle button on the inside trim, so staff can hold the opening in a passage state during business hours and toggle it back to secure at close. For a tenant door or a store room you rarely toggle, KP is enough; for an office, classroom wing, or front-of-house door on a daily schedule, KG saves a code entry every time.
14) Which lever styles on the 45HZ return to the door, and does that matter?
Levers 3, 14, and 15 return to within 1/2 inch of the door face. Levers 12, 16, and 17 do not return. Style 4 is a round knob rather than a lever. Returned levers are what most accessibility-driven specs call for in commercial and institutional work, so if the drawing calls out a return lever, order 3, 14, or 15.
15) What keypad mortise lock should I use instead if I need a key override on the deadbolt?
This particular 45HZ build is the no key override version, so the deadbolt cannot be released mechanically. Alternatives ZenSupply carries with a cylinder override include the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock, which is a touchscreen keypad with cylinder override (no deadbolt), and the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader. Choose based on whether you need the deadbolt at all or just keyed access to the latch.
16) Will the 45HZ latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The lock supplies its own strike, so plan on installing it. It is a brass, bronze, or stainless universal non-handed strike, 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 by 3/32 inches, built to ANSI A115.1, and it adjusts to the correct bevel during installation. The latchbolt throws 3/4 inch and the deadbolt 1 inch, so the frame needs a pocket deep enough for the deadbolt behind an A115.1 cutout.
17) Is the BEST 45HZ suitable for apartment or multi-tenant doors?
It suits multi-tenant residential, and that is one of its stated applications along with healthcare, education, government, and commercial security. Codes are managed at the door with no wiring run to each unit, and the 1 inch deadbolt gives the security a tenant entry usually needs. The catch is the no key override function: without a mechanical bypass, management has no key access past the deadbolt, which is a policy decision worth settling before you standardize a building on it.
18) Is there a keypad electronic deadbolt with a larger user code capacity than the BEST 45HZ?
If the deciding factor is code capacity, the Alarm Lock DL4500 Series is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt that lists 2,000 user codes with a privacy keypad. It is the nearest peer by function since it is also a deadbolt-function keypad mortise lock. The BEST 45HZ differs in that it carries a 3/4 inch throw stainless latchbolt alongside the 1 inch deadbolt and accepts a 7-pin housing for BEST cores or a less core housing, where the DL4500 is a deadbolt-only body listed for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors.
19) Do we need to run wire to the BEST 45HZ, or is there an alternative if the door has power available?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is described as standalone keypad operation that works as a one-door access control system without complex wiring. If the opening already has power and is being tied into a system, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is an electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock with request to exit at 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Command Access ML190 Series is a motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC. Those are wired devices controlled by a panel, not code-driven standalone locks.
20) Will a Dormakaba E-Plex work in the same opening as the BEST 45HZ keypad mortise lock?
Both are pushbutton keypad mortise locks, but the bodies are not interchangeable one for one. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 Series is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock listed for wide stile applications, and the E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 back to back pushbutton and card lock with entry/egress function. The BEST 45HZ is a 2-3/4 inch backset mortise case at 5-7/8 inch H x 7/8 inch D x 4-1/16 inch W with a 10-1/2 inch H x 3-5/16 inch W escutcheon, so confirm the existing pocket and trim cutouts against whichever body you choose.
21) Is the Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt a substitute for the BEST 45HZ?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series, which is a deadbolt body alone operated by keys on both sides with no latchbolt and no electronics. The BEST 45HZ is an electronic keypad mortise lock that pairs a 1 inch deadbolt with a 3/4 inch throw latchbolt, a lever, and code-based entry. The 4874 shares the 2-3/4 inch backset but does not replace the lockset function.
22) We already key everything to BEST small format interchangeable cores. Which comparable locks keep that keying scheme?
The BEST 45HZ is offered with a 7-pin housing that accepts all BEST cores, or as a less core housing, and its standard cylinder prep is SFIC less core. Among comparable mortise locksets, the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset lists an interchangeable core option, which is the peer that keeps an IC keying program intact on a mechanical opening. Confirm core format with your keying supplier before ordering across brands.
23) What is a lighter duty keypad option if the BEST 45HZ is more lock than the door needs?
The Codelocks CL2255 in brushed steel is an electronic tubular mortise latch listed as medium duty in the CL2000 Series, which suits lower traffic interior openings where a heavy commercial mortise body is not required. The BEST 45HZ is a commercial lock built on a 0.095 inch cold rolled steel case with zinc dichromate plating and a 1 inch stainless deadbolt, so step down only where the traffic and security level genuinely allow it.
24) Can I match the 45HZ finish to the rest of the hardware in my building?
Twelve finishes are offered, covering the usual commercial range: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial, and 690 statuary dark bronze. 626 is the most common spec on commercial openings, and 626AM is the one to pick for healthcare or food service where an antimicrobial surface is called for.
25) Do any comparable mortise locks offer a battery-free or self-powered alternative to the BEST 45HZ keypad?
The Dormakaba PowerPlex P2066 Series mortise lock is the peer to look at when the goal is a keypad mortise lock in the E-Plex family sized for that platform. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series runs as a standalone keypad system on the door without complex wiring, with programming handled at the keypad. Compare the two on how each is powered and serviced over its life before standardizing a building.
