BEST 9KZ30DV14KP626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST 9KZ keypad lock fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The 9KZ EZ Series cylindrical keypad lock is built for doors 1-3/4 inches through 2-1/4 inches thick, so a 2 inch door is inside the range with no spacer kit or special order. That upper end is wider than most electronic cylindrical locks, which is why it turns up on exterior and older institutional doors where the leaf is thicker than the standard 1-3/4 inches.
2) What door prep does the BEST 9KZ electronic lock need, and will it drop into an existing 161 cylindrical prep?
Plan on a modified prep, not a straight swap. The chassis is 2-1/16 inches in diameter and goes into a 2-1/8 inch bore, which matches a normal cylindrical prep, but the escutcheon measures 10-1/2 x 3-5/16 x 1 inch sloping down to 3/4 inch and the housing requires modified door prep per ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, Grade 1. So the cross bore is usually reusable; the door still needs additional machining for the escutcheon and mounting. Backset is 2-3/4 inches standard, with 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch offered for wider stiles or unusual prep.
3) Will the BEST 9KZ latch into my existing ANSI strike, or do I need a new one?
The latchbolt throws 9/16 inch standard, with a 3/4 inch throw available if the gap between door and frame runs wide. Two strikes are offered: the S3 brass or bronze at 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 x 3/32 inch to ANSI A115.1, and the STK at 2-3/4 x 1-1/8 x 3/32 inch, which fits the standard frame cutout per ANSI A115.3. If the frame already has a 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike prep, the S3 drops straight in.
4) Does the BEST 9KZ take our existing BEST cores, and can I key it into my building master?
Two cylinder configurations are offered. The 7-pin housing accepts all BEST cores and ships less SFIC core, so an existing BEST small format interchangeable core keyed to your masterkey system goes straight in. The other option is a non-IC and LFIC competitive cylinder, also less core, for buildings running a large format or conventional cylinder from another manufacturer. Either way you supply the core, so the lock joins the keying system you already run rather than starting a new one.
5) What is the difference between the KP and KG trim on the BEST 9KZ?
KP is the keypad on its own. KG is the keypad with an inside trim passage toggle button, which lets someone lock the door from the inside without going to the keypad, the option schools and offices specify for lockdown. If the opening ever needs to be secured from within in a hurry, order KG; for a straight controlled entry door, KP is the one.
6) Which BEST 9KZ lever style meets California Title 24 accessibility?
Four trim styles are offered: 14 curved with return, 15 contour with angle return, 16 curved without return, and 4 round knob. The 14 and 15 levers conform to California Titles 19 and 24. The 4 is a round knob, which is not a lever at all, and the 16 has no return. Levers are zinc alloy, roughly 1-5/8 inch body diameter with a handle about 4-3/4 inches from the chassis centerline.
7) What happens if the batteries die on the BEST 9KZ keypad lock?
Key override is the answer. The 9KZ carries a mechanical key override function, so a cylinder core in the lock gets you in for emergency access regardless of the electronics. That is the reason to specify this function over a keypad-only electronic lock in a building where nobody wants to be locked out of a mechanical room at 2am.
8) What can I use instead of the BEST 9KZ if my doors are only 1-5/8 inches thick?
The 9KZ starts at 1-3/4 inches, so a 1-5/8 inch leaf is under its minimum. The Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical lock with a digital keypad rated for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and it is IC/SFIC compatible if you are keying to an interchangeable core system. The Schlage NDEB ENGAGE Series, a Grade 1 cylindrical, covers 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch and reads Bluetooth credentials rather than a keypad.
9) What do I need to specify when ordering a BEST 9KZ, and what still needs ordering separately?
Five choices define the part: backset (2-3/4 inch standard, 3-3/4 inch or 5 inch), cylinder housing (7-pin for BEST cores, or non-IC/LFIC competitive), trim style (KP keypad, or KG with the inside passage toggle), lever style (14, 15, 16, or 4 round knob), and finish from twelve options including 605 bright brass, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 626 satin chrome, and 690 statuary dark bronze. Every configuration ships less core, so the interchangeable core is a separate line. Batteries are AA alkaline and the 8-cell holder is an option over the standard 4-cell.
10) What is the closest keypad cylindrical lock to the BEST 9KZ for a door thicker than 2 inches?
The BEST 9KZ EZ Series covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. Among electronic cylindrical keypad locks, the SDC E75 Series covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch, and the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Above 2-1/8 inch the 9KZ is the one of the group that still lands, so on a thick fire door or a door with an applied plate the 9KZ range is the one to size against.
11) Is the Alarm Lock Trilogy DL2700 a direct substitute for the BEST 9KZ?
They are both standalone electronic cylindrical keypad locks, but they do not fit the same doors. The Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical lock built for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series takes doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. On a 2 inch or thicker door the DL2700 is out of range and the 9KZ is the fit; on a 1-5/8 inch door the reverse is true.
12) What should I use instead of the BEST 9KZ if I need a credential reader rather than a PIN keypad?
The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is a PIN-entry keypad lock with mechanical key override, holding up to 1000 PIN codes. If the facility issues cards or phones instead of codes, the TownSteel FCE-2000 Series is a Grade 1 standalone motorized cylindrical lockset with RFID technology in a classroom function, and the Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series cylindrical lock with a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy mobile-enabled reader. Both are cylindrical like the 9KZ, so the door prep family is the same conversation; the credential is what changes.
13) Which electronic cylindrical keypad lock takes a small format interchangeable core like the BEST 9KZ?
The BEST 9KZ EZ Series ships SFIC prep less core, with a 7-pin housing that accepts all BEST cores, and a second cylinder option for non-IC and LFIC competitive cylinders less core. The Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is also IC/SFIC compatible. If a keying system is already standardized on small format cores, those two keep the facility on one key; the Kwikset SmartCode 912TNL is keyed one side and does not enter that conversation.
14) The BEST 9KZ needs a 3-3/4 inch backset. Which comparable locks list that?
The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is ordered in 2-3/4 inch standard, 3-3/4 inch, or 5 inch backset. Among the keyless comparables, the Lockey 1600 heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock has an adjustable backset. The Marks USA 175RF SFIC storeroom lever and the Stanley QCL150 entry lever are both fixed 2-3/4 inch. On a wide stile or a door with a deep lite, the 9KZ 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch options are what reach the edge.
15) I need a classroom or intruder function instead of the BEST 9KZ latch with key override. What electronic locks cover that?
The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is a latch with key override function and adds an inside passage toggle button on the KG trim so the door can be locked from inside. For a purpose-built classroom function, the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical keypad lockset in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the XCE-9000 Series is the electronic classroom intruder version over the same thickness range. The Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock with an offline push button classroom/storeroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) Does the BEST 9KZ need to be wired like the SDC Electra 7200?
No. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series runs on AA alkaline batteries in a 4-cell standard or optional 8-cell holder, with up to 4-year battery life, so no power has to be pulled to the opening. The SDC Electra 7200 Series is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock on dual voltage 12/24VDC and needs a power run and a transfer path. The SDC E75 Series is the battery-powered electronic keypad lockset in that line, covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
17) Is a residential smart lever like the Kwikset SmartCode 912TNL an acceptable stand-in for the BEST 9KZ on a commercial opening?
They serve different openings. The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 SmartCode is a Z-Wave electronic lever keyed one side for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is a commercial lock, UL listed for electrically controlled single point locks on 3-hour A label doors in both U.S. and Canadian applications, mounted to modified door prep per ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1. Where a fire-rated opening or an ANSI Series 4000 prep is on the drawing, the 9KZ is what answers it.
18) How many user codes does the BEST 9KZ hold and how long do the batteries last?
Up to 1000 PIN codes, with variable PIN length from 3 to 8 digits, plus 1 Administrator PIN and 5 Supervisor PINs for day to day management. It runs on AA alkaline batteries in a 4-cell holder standard, with an optional 8-cell holder, and battery life runs up to 4 years. For a property manager rotating tenant or vendor codes across a portfolio, that is enough capacity to give every unit and trade its own code without reusing one.
19) Can a keypad lock go on an exterior door that gets rain and snow?
The 9KZ is built for it. Construction is weather resistant, with internal parts in brass, zinc, or corrosion-treated steel, and BEST calls out doors exposed to inclement weather as an intended application. For a coastal or freeze-thaw site, the 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial and 690 statuary dark bronze are among the twelve finishes offered.
20) Is there an electronic cylindrical lock that runs off building power instead of batteries?
The 9KZ is battery powered on AA alkalines, so if the spec calls for a hardwired opening tied to an access control panel, look at the SDC Electra 7200 Series, a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock with dual voltage 12/24VDC for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches. Batteries suit retrofits where pulling power through the frame is not practical; the 7200 suits new construction where the door already has a power transfer.
21) Does a 5 inch backset version of the BEST 9KZ exist for a wide stile door?
Yes, the 9KZ is offered in 2-3/4 inch standard, 3-3/4 inch, and 5 inch backsets. The long backsets are what you order when the lock has to clear a wide rail or a stile glass condition and a standard 2-3/4 inch would put the lever too close to the edge. Note that 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches are the usual cylindrical backsets, so 3-3/4 and 5 inch are exception orders driven by the door, not the norm.
22) What is a simpler alternative to the BEST 9KZ if the door does not need electronics?
The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic lock. For keyless entry with no batteries and no programming, the Lockey 1600 is a heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with adjustable backset for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for the same thickness range. Both give code entry mechanically; neither offers the 1000 PIN codes and administrator and supervisor code structure the 9KZ carries.
23) Can I put a Lockey E985 keypad lever lock where a BEST 9KZ was specified?
Only on a thinner door. The Lockey E985 is an electronic keypad lever lock with remote control and key override, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch; the companion E995 keypad lever lock with remote control and battery power carries the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series starts at 1-3/4 inch and runs to 2-1/4 inch. A 1-3/4 inch door is the only overlap; anything heavier is 9KZ territory.
24) What looks like a substitute for the BEST 9KZ but will not give keyed access?
Several cylindrical locksets share the chassis family but have no cylinder at all. The Dorma C501 is a single dummy trim keyless lever lockset, the Dorma CL701 is a Grade 2 single dummy non-keyed lever, the Orca OCL2170 is a Grade 2 half dummy lever, and the Cal-Royal CAL30 is a Grade 1 passage lockset. None of those latch to a credential. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is a latch with key override function, so it holds both the PIN and the mechanical key path.
25) Which keypad lock should I choose over the BEST 9KZ for a restroom or private office that needs privacy function?
The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is a latch with key override function, not a privacy lock. For a privacy application, the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic cylindrical keypad lock in privacy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical keypad lock in privacy function for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in privacy function.
26) Which alternative to the BEST 9KZ has an audit trail?
The BEST 9KZ EZ Series manages access with up to 1000 PIN codes plus 1 administrator and 5 supervisor PINs. If the requirement is a record of who opened the door and when, the Alarm Lock T3 DL3075 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with audit trail and keypad access. It is the one in the group that states audit trail, so on a controlled-substance room or an evidence door it is the specification to hold.
27) What finish options does the BEST 9KZ have that the alternatives do not cover, for matching existing hardware?
The BEST 9KZ 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 lever styles 14 curved with return, 15 contour with angle return, 16 curved without return, and 4 round knob. For a healthcare wing standardizing on an antimicrobial finish, the 626AM option is the one to order against.
28) Can I match the BEST 9KZ keypad lock to the finish on the rest of my building's hardware?
Twelve finishes are offered: 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. Those are BHMA finish numbers, so 626 satin chrome on the 9KZ matches 626 on the closers, exits, and hinges already hanging in the building. The 626AM is the antimicrobial version of 626 and is worth specifying on healthcare and food service openings.
29) Can a Grade 2 mechanical storeroom lever replace the BEST 9KZ on a low-traffic door?
It changes both the credential and the duty level. The Marks USA 175RF SFIC is a Grade 2 storeroom clutched lever lockset, small format IC less core, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI strike. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series mounts to modified door prep per ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, Grade 1, and its internal parts are brass, zinc, or corrosion-treated steel. Both take a small format core, so the keying carries over; the PIN entry does not.
