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

1) Do I have to specify handing on the BEST 45HZ keypad mortise lock?
Handing is a required selection: RH, LH, RHR, or LHR. Note that the latchbolt itself is stainless steel and reversible without opening the case, and the strike supplied with the lock is universal (non-handed), as is the auxiliary bolt. So the handing you pick drives the trim and keypad orientation more than the bolt work, but it still has to be right on the order.
2) Will the 45HZ deadbolt and latch line up with the strike prep already in my frame?
The 45HZ throws a 1 inch stainless steel deadbolt and a 3/4 inch stainless latchbolt, and it ships with a universal non-handed strike measuring 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 x 3/32 inches that meets ANSI A115.1. If your frame is already cut to the ANSI A115.1 strike prep, the supplied strike drops straight in. Frames cut to a non-standard or proprietary prep will need work.
3) Does the BEST 45HZ come with a cylinder, or do I need to supply a core?
Two cylinder choices: a 7-pin housing that accepts all BEST cores, or a less core housing. Standard configuration is SFIC prep less core, so the small format interchangeable core is not in the box. If your building is already keyed on BEST SFIC, order the 7-pin housing and drop in a core from your existing system, and the key override will work on the same key as the rest of your doors.
4) Do I need to run wire or a network to install a BEST 45HZ keypad lock?
No. The 45HZ is a standalone one-door access control system. Codes are programmed at the keypad, there is no network infrastructure required, and a mechanical key override gets you in if the electronics are down. If you want networked or wireless management across many openings instead, look at something like the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx wireless mortise lock or the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock.
5) I need a keypad mortise lock with a deadbolt, not just a latch. What are my options besides the BEST 45HZ?
The 45HZ is the deadbolt function: a 1 inch stainless deadbolt with key override. Among other electronic mortise locks, the Alarm Lock DL4500 Series is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad, and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 mobile enabled deadbolt with LED and Greenwich trim. If you do not actually need a deadbolt, the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock is a touchscreen keypad unit with no deadbolt and cylinder override.
6) My doors are 1-5/8 inch thick. Can I still use the BEST 45HZ?
No. The 45HZ standard build is a 1-3/4 inch door lock, with a thick door version going up to 3 inches. Nothing covers 1-5/8. The Alarm Lock Trilogy electronic mortise locks are the ones cut for that range: the DL2700CR and DL3500CR classroom function locks and the DL4500 deadbolt all list a 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range.
7) What is the closest electronic mortise lock to the BEST 45HZ EZ Series if the door needs a deadbolt controlled from the keypad?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is a standalone keypad mortise lock with a deadbolt and key override function, and it carries a 1 inch throw stainless steel deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inches thick. The Alarm Lock DL4500DB is the nearest deadbolt-function peer: it is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad, for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches thick. The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is another deadbolt-carrying electronic mortise lock, Grade 1 with a 3 hour fire rating, and it adds a 125kHz proximity reader and ENGAGE wireless with mobile credentials. The dividing line is the credential: the 45HZ works from a keypad and a mechanical key with no network, the DL4500DB from a keypad, and the LEMD-GRW from keypad-free proximity and mobile.
8) The BEST 45HZ keypad lock is going on a door that is 1-3/4 inches thick and needs a 3 hour fire label - what else meets that?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series standard configuration is built for 1-3/4 inch doors and is UL listed for GYQS electrically controlled single point locks on 3 hour A label doors in both the U.S. and Canada, with a thick door configuration for doors up to 3 inches. Among electronic mortise peers, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is Grade 1 with a 3 hour fire rating, and the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is Grade 2 with a 3 hour fire rating on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage CO-100-MS-40-KP standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader is Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors in privacy function.
9) The BEST 45HZ keypad lock is standalone - what should be used instead when the doors have to report to a head end or be managed remotely?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is a standalone one door access control system that works without network infrastructure. Where the door has to be managed centrally, the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx is a wireless electronic mortise lock with keypad built for Adams Rite deadlatches. The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile credentials. 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.
10) What is the mechanical equivalent of the BEST 45HZ EZ Series for the doors in the same building that do not need a keypad?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic mortise lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch doors. To carry the same mortise prep on non-electronic openings, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors, which suits the 45HZ practice of a 7-pin housing that accepts all BEST cores. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt on the same door thickness. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset 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.
11) The BEST 45HZ keypad lock needs to be tied into an access control panel with card readers - what mortise lock does that instead?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series operates from its own keypad with mechanical key override and does not need panel wiring or network infrastructure to work. Where the door is being run from a panel, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit at 12/24VDC in corridor function for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC in storeroom function. Both take their unlock signal from the panel, where the 45HZ takes its codes at the door.
12) What takes the place of the BEST 45HZ EZ Series on an ornamental iron or narrow 1 inch thick door?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series standard configuration is designed for 1-3/4 inch doors, with a thick door configuration available up to 3 inches. It does not reach down to a 1 inch door. The Marks USA 21AC is an entrance double cylinder Unilock ornamental iron mortise lock with a round knob for 1 inch doors, and the Marks USA 22AC is the same entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise lock with round knob on the 22 Series, also 1 inch. Those are the ornamental iron gate and security door bodies rather than a commercial keypad lock.
13) What is the difference between the KP and KG trim on the BEST 45HZ?
KP is the keypad alone. KG adds an inside trim passage toggle button, which lets someone hold the lock in passage from the secure side, useful for an office or classroom that stays open during business hours and secures at night without anyone punching a code each time. If you never need a hold-open, KP is the simpler order.
14) Which BEST 45HZ lever style should I pick, and does the return matter?
Seven trim choices: styles 3, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, and a 4 round knob. Levers 3, 14, and 15 return to within a minimum of 1/2 inch of the door surface; levers 12, 16, and 17 do not return. If you are on a project where returned levers are called out on the drawings, or where a non-return lever risks catching clothing in a corridor, stay with 3, 14, or 15.
15) How much room does the 45HZ mortise case and escutcheon need on the door?
The case is 0.095 inch cold rolled steel measuring 5-7/8 H x 7/8 D x 4-1/16 W inches, zinc dichromate plated. The faceplate is 8 H x 1-1/4 W x 1/16 T inches and self-adjusts to the door bevel during install. The escutcheon is 10-1/2 H x 3-5/16 W x 1 D inches, with the depth sloping from 1 inch at the top to 3/4 inch at the bottom. That escutcheon footprint is the number to check against your stile before you commit, since it is considerably taller than a rose trim lock.
16) What finishes does the BEST 45HZ keypad mortise lock come in, and is there anything for a healthcare corridor?
Twelve finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial, and 690 statuary dark bronze. For a hospital or clinic where touch surfaces are a concern, 626AM is the antimicrobial version of the standard 626 satin chrome, so it matches the rest of a 626 building visually.
17) I am standardizing a building on mechanical BEST mortise locks but want keypads on a few doors. Does the 45HZ match?
It works well for that. The 45HZ takes a 7-pin housing that accepts all BEST cores, so a keypad opening keys into the same SFIC system as your mechanical doors and one master key still works everywhere. The strike is ANSI A115.1 and the backset is the standard 2-3/4 inches, so the frame prep matches a conventional heavy duty mortise lock. Lever style and finish are picked from the same lists, so the keypad doors do not look like an afterthought.
18) Which keypad mortise locks compare to the BEST 45HZ EZ Series for an apartment or dormitory entry door?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series runs deadbolt with key override, giving a resident a 1 inch deadbolt plus a mechanical key as a second way in. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 back to back mortise lock with pushbutton and card credentials in entry/egress function. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a mobile-enabled Grade 2 mortise lock with push button and LED covering privacy, office and apartment functions on 1-3/4 inch doors with a 3 hour fire rating. The Sargent 7925 is the mechanical counterpart, a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt.
19) What is a simpler keypad mortise lock than the BEST 45HZ EZ Series when the opening does not need a deadbolt?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is configured as deadbolt with key override, so its case carries a 1 inch deadbolt alongside the 3/4 inch latchbolt. Where the opening only needs a latch, the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and no deadbolt, with cylinder override. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 Series is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock for wide stile doors. The Codelocks CL2255 is an electronic tubular mortise latch in brushed steel, rated medium duty rather than the heavy commercial construction of the 45HZ.
20) Is a Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt a substitute for the BEST 45HZ EZ Series keypad lock?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series - a deadbolt body only, keyed both sides, with no latch and no keypad. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic lock that combines a keypad and mechanical key override with a 1 inch stainless deadbolt, a 3/4 inch stainless latchbolt, and a non-handed auxiliary bolt in one case on the same 2-3/4 inch backset. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is likewise a deadbolt function mortise lock supplied with no handing. Either of those covers a deadbolt-only prep; neither latches the door or takes user codes.
21) The BEST 45HZ EZ Series takes BEST cores - which comparable mortise locks keep an interchangeable core keyway?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series ships in a 7-pin housing that accepts all BEST cores or as a less core housing, and the standard cylinder prep is SFIC less core. Among mortise peers, the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom lockset is offered with an interchangeable core option on 1-3/4 inch doors. If the electronic lock also has to keep a mechanical key path, the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch has cylinder override, and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is keyed outside. Cylinder override on those is what preserves master keying alongside the codes.
22) Can an Emtek 3104 Hamilton or Falcon MESC600DT be used in place of a BEST 45HZ EZ Series keypad lock?
No, and the distinction matters before a purchase order goes out. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is a working electronic lock with a keypad, a 1 inch stainless deadbolt and a 3/4 inch stainless latchbolt. The Emtek 3104 Hamilton and the Emtek 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, as is the Schlage L0170 half dummy trim in the Grade 1 mortise L Series and the Falcon MESC600DT dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 Series exit devices. Dummy trim is pull-only - it does not latch, lock or accept a code.
23) The BEST 45HZ EZ Series keypad lock is battery powered at the door - is there an electronic mortise lock that does not need batteries changed?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is a standalone system that works without wiring or network infrastructure, which means each opening is maintained on its own at the door. The Dormakaba PowerPlex P2066 Series mortise lock is the alternative in the same pushbutton family for facilities that want to take battery replacement out of the maintenance cycle. Where a wired supply is already being pulled to the opening, the Command Access ML190 Series motorized mortise lock runs on 24VDC and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim runs on 12/24VDC.
24) Does a Hager 3800 Series or Falcon MA101 mortise lock do the same job as the BEST 45HZ EZ Series?
No. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is a keyed and coded electronic lock with a deadbolt and key override. The Hager 3810E and 3810S 3800 Series are Grade 1 passage mortise locks on a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches thick, differing in escutcheon versus rose trim, and the Hager 3850E is an office function mortise lock with lever and escutcheon that is non-keyed. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock, fire rated, field reversible, and the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors. Passage locks latch the door but secure nothing.
25) An opening needs an office or entrance function rather than the deadbolt the BEST 45HZ EZ Series carries - what covers that?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is deadbolt with key override, which holds the door secured until a code or key releases it. For a standard office or entrance opening, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is the classroom version of the same body. The Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon on a 2-3/4 inch backset, non-keyed, for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches thick. On the keypad side, the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD covers office function among its push button configurations.
26) Is a Schlage PC10 cylindrical lock an alternative to the BEST 45HZ EZ Series?
Not in the same door. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is a mortise lock, seated in a pocket routed into the edge of the door for a 5-7/8 inch by 4-1/16 inch case on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, non-keyed with rose, for 1-3/4 inch doors, which mounts through a cross bore instead. A door prepped for one is not prepped for the other. Within mortise prep, the Schlage PM010 is the passage counterpart at Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors.
27) Is a Sargent 130KB or 130W mortise thumbturn a way to add the deadbolt control the BEST 45HZ EZ Series has?
No - those are trim pieces, not locks. The Sargent 130KB is a standard duty mortise thumbturn in the 8200 Series and the 130W is a standard duty mortise thumbturn with a round backplate in the 7800 Series; each turns a deadbolt in a mortise case that is already in the door. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series supplies the whole case: a 1 inch throw stainless deadbolt driven by keypad with mechanical key override, a 3/4 inch latchbolt and a non-handed universal strike meeting ANSI A115.1. If the requirement is inside release without a code, the 45HZ KG trim carries an inside passage toggle button.
28) Is the BEST 45HZ suitable for an exterior or damp opening?
The mortise case is zinc dichromate plated cold rolled steel for corrosion protection, and the latchbolt, deadbolt, and auxiliary bolt are all stainless steel, with the latch oil-impregnated for anti-friction operation. Trim is available in brass, bronze, or stainless steel base material. It is a commercial-duty lock, not a weatherproof-rated one. If the opening is genuinely exposed, the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy T2 is described as a weatherproof design.
29) What is comparable to the BEST 45HZ EZ Series in a matte black or antimicrobial finish?
The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is finished in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial and 690 statuary dark bronze, with a zinc dichromate plated case for corrosion protection. Among electronic mortise peers, the Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire RFID lockset and the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy T2, which is weatherproof, are the alternatives to look at for exposed or high-touch openings. For a stainless trim finish, the Marks USA 5PDN paddleset and the TownSteel MRX-A-01 are satin stainless steel.
