BEST 45HM7DEU17MS626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST 45KM IDH MAX mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes, and thicker. The 45HM Series mortise lock is built for doors 1-3/4 inch through 3 inch thick, but thickness is an order-time choice, so specify the actual door thickness when you place the order. The 2-3/4 inch backset and the 8 x 1-1/4 x 1/16 inch faceplate drop into a standard ANSI A115.1 door prep, though the trim itself needs modified prep because the reader escutcheon is larger than a plain mortise escutcheon.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a BEST 45KM IDH MAX mortise lock?
No handing to specify. The lock is non-handed, and the latchbolt reverses in the field without opening the mortise case. The lock face self-adjusts to the door bevel during installation, and a universal non-handed strike ships with the lock. That is a real difference from electronic mortise locks that are ordered handed, such as the Schlage ENGAGE LEMD-GRW, which is a right hand unit.
3) Should I order DEL or DEU on a BEST IDH MAX mortise lock?
That choice is your fail-mode decision. DEU (electrically unlocked) means the outside lever is locked when unpowered and unlocks when power is applied, so the door stays secure in a power failure. DEL (electrically locked) means the lever is unlocked without power, so the opening free-wheels when power drops. Both are offered on the 45HM. Egress-critical and life-safety openings are usually specified fail-secure DEU; openings that must release on a fire alarm or power loss get DEL. Both are keyed with a mechanical override for the times the electronics are down.
4) What power supply do I need to run a BEST 45KM IDH MAX lock, and what else has to be wired at the door?
Plan for 10.2 to 13.2 VDC. The lock draws about 650 milliAmps holding, with a peak of 1.1 Amp for 50 milliseconds, so size the supply and the wire run for that inrush, not the hold figure. The whole opening takes a single 4-conductor run. There is no separate reader cable, no electric strike circuit, no door contact, and no request-to-exit device to wire, because the reader, door position, request-to-exit and latch status sensors are all inside the lock.
5) Can I use a BEST 45KM IDH MAX on a fire-rated door?
Yes. The lock is UL listed for 3-hour A label doors up to 4 feet by 10 feet, for both US and Canadian use, and it meets ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1, Series 1000. That combination is what most institutional specs call out for corridor and stairwell openings in healthcare, education and government buildings.
6) Does the BEST 45KM IDH MAX come with a core, and will it work with my existing BEST keyway?
The lock ships prepped for a small format interchangeable core but with no core included, so you supply the core from your own keying system. That is how it lands in an existing BEST master key system without rekeying anything else. It is a single cylinder keyed function, meaning key control on the outside only. Order cores separately to your keyway and bitting.
7) Will the latch on a BEST 45HM mortise lock line up with the strike already in my frame?
In most commercial frames, yes. The latchbolt is solid stainless with a 3/4 inch throw and the supplied strike is 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 x 3/32 inches, cut to the standard ANSI A115.1 frame cutout. If your existing frame was prepped to that standard, the new strike drops into the same cutout. There is also a 1 inch throw deadbolt and a non-handed stainless auxiliary bolt, so check that your frame lip has depth for the deadbolt projection before reusing the old prep.
8) How do I retrofit access control onto existing mortise doors without cutting the frame for an electric strike?
That is what an integrated reader mortise lock like the BEST 45KM IDH MAX is for. Everything sits in the door leaf: reader, lock, door contact, request-to-exit and latch status, on one 4-conductor run, so the frame does not get cut for a strike and there is no wall reader or REX motion sensor above the opening. The tradeoff is door prep, since the trim needs a modified prep beyond the standard ANSI A115.1 faceplate cutout. If you would rather keep a conventional mortise lock body and add electrification, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is an electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock with request-to-exit at 12/24VDC, and the Command Access ML190 Series is a motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC.
9) I do not have power at the door. What mortise lock can I use instead of the BEST IDH MAX?
The IDH MAX is a wired lock at 10.2 to 13.2 VDC, so it is the wrong part for an opening with no power run. For standalone electronic control without wiring, the Alarm Lock Trilogy DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes and classroom function, and the Dormakaba PowerPlex P2066 Series is a mortise lock that runs without an external supply. If you only need mechanical keyed control, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option that will accept your existing core program.
10) Will a BEST 45KM IDH MAX go on the thin doors we have, around 1-5/8 inch?
No. The 45HM mortise case is built for doors 1-3/4 inch up to 3 inch thick, so a 1-5/8 inch leaf is below its range. For thinner doors, the Alarm Lock Trilogy line covers 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch: the DL2700CR and DL3500CR are Grade 1 classroom function electronic mortise locks, and the DL4500 Series is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes.
11) What is the closest alternative to a BEST 45KM IDH MAX mortise lock if the access control system uses proximity credentials instead of magnetic stripe cards?
The BEST 45KM IDH MAX reads magnetic stripe cards at the door, with Magnetic Stripe and Magstripe Adaptation trim options. If the credential program is proximity-based, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom-function mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both put the reader in the lock the same way, but the credential the cardholder carries is different, so the choice follows the card stock already issued.
12) Which mortise lock should be used instead of an integrated card reader lock when the door only needs to be electrically locked or unlocked from an existing panel?
The BEST 45KM IDH MAX carries the reader, door contact, request-to-exit and latch sensors inside the lock itself, on DEU electrically unlocked and DEL electrically locked functions. Where the credential is already read by a wall reader on a panel, an electrified mortise lock without a reader does the same door work: the Schlage 03A electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock is a heavy duty corridor-function lock, keyed outside, with request-to-exit and 12/24VDC operation for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Command Access ML190 is a heavy duty motorized storeroom mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC. Both leave the reader as a separate device on the wall.
13) Is there a simpler electronic mortise lock than a 45KM IDH MAX for a door with no access control panel or wiring?
The 45KM IDH MAX is a wired lock running on 10.2 to 13.2 VDC and reporting door status back to a system. On an opening with no panel and no wire to pull, a standalone lock is the simpler answer: the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy is a Grade 1 classroom-function electronic mortise lock holding 300 user codes for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader in privacy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock. These are programmed at the door rather than from a head end.
14) What electronic mortise lock works on doors thinner than 1-3/4 inches when the 45KM IDH MAX will not fit?
The BEST 45KM IDH MAX is built for doors 1-3/4 inch to 3 inch thick. Below that range, the Alarm Lock Trilogy family is dimensioned for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, including the DL2700CR Grade 1 classroom lock with weatherproof design and the DL4500 Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad. For narrow stile aluminum openings the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx wireless electronic mortise lock is built for Adams Rite deadlatches instead.
15) Does a Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 substitute for a BEST 45KM IDH MAX on a commercial opening?
They are not equivalent on the rating. The 45KM IDH MAX is ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1 and UL listed for 3 hour A label doors. The Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, and the Schlage LEBMB-ADD mobile-enabled mortise lock is Grade 2 with a 3 hour fire rating. Where the specification calls for Grade 1, the Grade 1 electronic mortise peers are the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 entry/egress pushbutton and card lock and the TownSteel FME-4000 electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID.
16) Is a magnetic stripe reader lock still the right choice, or should I be looking at proximity or RFID?
Magnetic stripe makes sense when the building already issues mag stripe credentials, typically campus ID cards or hotel keycards, and you want the reader in the lock instead of on the wall. The IDH MAX reads cards at 5 to 50 inches per second at ISO .030 inch plus or minus .003 card thickness. If you are starting a new credential program instead of extending an existing one, look at card technologies with a longer runway: the TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 mortise lockset with RFID, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 is an RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access, and the Schlage ENGAGE LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader.
17) What is the difference between the MS and MSA trim options on the BEST IDH MAX?
MS is the standard magnetic stripe trim. MSA is the magstripe adaptation trim. Both are reader trims for the same 45HM mortise case, so the lock body, backset and prep do not change with the choice; you are picking the reader escutcheon variant that suits the opening. The escutcheon itself measures 10-1/2 x 3-5/16 inches and 1 inch deep at the top, sloping to 3/4 inch at the bottom, which is what drives the modified trim prep on the door.
18) Which lever styles on the BEST 45HM return to the door, and which meet California Title 24?
Lever 3, 14 and 15 return to within a minimum of 1/2 inch of the door surface and conform to California Titles 19 and 24. Levers 12, 16 and 17 do not return. If your project is in California, or the spec calls for a return-to-door lever to prevent clothing snag on an egress path, order a 3, 14 or 15. Orderable lever and knob choices include lever 3 solid tube with return, lever 12 solid tube with no return, the number 4 round knob, contour with angle return, curved with return, curved without return, and gull wing. Knobs run 2-1/8 inch diameter with 2-7/8 inch projection off the door.
19) Is there an antimicrobial finish for a BEST IDH MAX mortise lock in a hospital?
Two of the twelve finishes are antimicrobial: 626AM satin chrome and 630AM satin stainless steel. The rest are 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless steel, 630 satin stainless steel and 690 statuary dark bronze. For a patient-contact corridor, 630AM is the usual pick because it matches the 630 already on most healthcare openings while adding the antimicrobial coating.
20) Can I standardize a whole building on the BEST 45HM if only some doors need card access?
You can keep one lock family and one prep across the building. The 45HM mortise case, 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI A115.1 faceplate prep are shared, so card-reader openings and plain keyed openings use the same door machining and the same SFIC core program. Match the finish across the building from the twelve offered, including 630 satin stainless steel, so the reader doors visually match the rest. For the non-reader openings, Grade 1 mortise locksets in the usual functions are stocked, such as the Corbin Russwin ML2003 classroom, the Cal-Royal NM8070 classroom and NM8440 privacy with deadbolt, and the Sargent 7925 dormitory exit function.
21) What looks like an alternative to a 45KM IDH MAX but will not secure the opening?
Several mortise parts sit next to a full electrified lockset without doing its job. The Schlage L0170 is Grade 1 half dummy trim in dummy function, and the Emtek 3102 Memphis and 3104 Hamilton mortise entrance locksets are dummy function as well, so they have no latch operation. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock, both of which are always free. The Sargent 130KB and 130W are mortise thumbturns only. The 45KM IDH MAX is a keyed single cylinder lock with an SFIC prep and card control at the door.
22) What electronic mortise lock does not require a power supply or wiring run like the 45KM IDH MAX does?
The 45KM IDH MAX draws 10.2 to 13.2 VDC through a single 4-conductor wire run to the door. Where no power is available at the opening, the Dormakaba PowerPlex P2066 Series mortise lock and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock are self-contained at the door, and the Codelocks CL2255 is a medium duty electronic tubular mortise latch in brushed steel. The CL2255 is medium duty rather than heavy duty, which matters on high-traffic commercial openings.
23) Which keypad mortise lock replaces a card reader lock when the building does not want to issue cards?
The 45KM IDH MAX reads magnetic stripe cards, so every user needs a card. A pushbutton lock removes the credential entirely: the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override with no deadbolt, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 classroom-function mortise lock with 300 user codes, and the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone mortise lock with a keypad reader. The nexTouch keeps a mechanical cylinder override, as the 45KM does with its interchangeable core.
24) What is the alternative to a BEST 45KM mortise lock on a glass door or an aluminum storefront?
The 45KM IDH MAX needs a mortise pocket in a 1-3/4 inch to 3 inch thick door and an 8 inch faceplate cut per ANSI A115.1, which a glass or narrow stile door will not take. For those openings, the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock, and the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx wireless electronic mortise lock is made for Adams Rite deadlatches in narrow stile doors.
25) How durable is the BEST IDH MAX lock case for a high-traffic entrance?
The case is heavy wrought steel at 5-7/8 x 4-1/4 x 1 inches, with the steel parts zinc dichromate plated for corrosion protection. Latchbolt, deadbolt and auxiliary bolt are all solid stainless, and the latch is oil-impregnated to cut friction on repeated cycles. The lock is rated heavy duty and built for commercial use, which is the tier you want on an entrance or corridor opening rather than a light commercial or residential lockset.
26) What mortise lock suits a dormitory corridor door that needs a deadbolt as well as a latch?
The 45KM IDH MAX carries a 3/4 inch throw latchbolt with a 1 inch throw deadbolt in a heavy wrought steel case. Without the electronics, the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, and the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent is a corridor/dormitory function; the Cal-Royal is privacy/bed/bath.
