A3 Vandal Resist Standalone Door Controller with RFID

Heavy duty RFID MIFARE® compatible with keypad and doorbell connections. Provides proximity access for up to 600 Code/Card Clients.

The A3 Vandal Resist MIFARE® compatible door controller provides a compact, affordable proximity access control system allowing flexible entry for up to 600 users, including two Panic Clients.

Many smaller business buildings are still secured by traditional lock and key, meaning doors can be left unlocked all day leaving them open to possibilities of unauthorised persons gaining access, as well as keys going missing. The A3 Vandal Resist door controller offers you a keyless solution as a standalone product; an affordable access control system that does not require complex software purchases, external programmers or licensing costs.

Codelocks AL03DXVRSG – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Codelocks A3 Vandal Resist controller be mounted outdoors on an exterior gate or door?
Yes. The A3 Vandal Resist door controller is rated IP66 and is stated as suitable for both internal and external use, so a weather-exposed gate or exterior door entry is within what it is built for. It surface mounts in a vertical orientation and the housing is plastic, with an anti-tamper sensor built in for openings that are exposed to abuse.
2) Will my existing MIFARE staff badges work with the Codelocks A3 RFID controller?
If your badges are MIFARE Classic 13.56MHz 14443-3 Type A, MIFARE DESFire 13.56MHz ISO/IEC 14443 A 1-4, or MIFARE Ultralite 13.56MHz ISO/IEC 14443 A 1-3, the A3 Vandal Resist controller reads them. Other card technologies outside those MIFARE formats are not supported, so 125kHz prox credentials are the wrong credential for this reader.
3) How many tenants or employees can I enroll on a Codelocks A3 standalone controller?
Up to 600 code or card clients, which includes two Panic clients. Users are organized into Master, User and Panic levels, and each user can be set up with a code or a card. For a small office or a multi-tenant entry door that is generally enough headroom to cover staff turnover without re-architecting the system.
4) Do I need access control software or a subscription to run the Codelocks A3 controller?
No. The A3 is a standalone controller, programmed at the unit itself. There is no software purchase, no external programmer, and no licensing cost. That is the trade-off versus a networked system: no central audit or remote credential management, but nothing to host and no recurring fees.
5) Can an Aiphone AC-2DM-B be used instead of the Codelocks A3 Vandal Resist RFID door controller?
They solve access control differently. The Codelocks A3 Vandal Resist AL03 DX VR SG is a standalone surface-mount unit with a 12-button keypad and MIFARE proximity reading built into one housing, holding up to 600 code or card clients with no software, external programmer or licensing required. The Aiphone AC-2DM-B is a PoE two-door access controller, so it is a panel-style device covering two doors and drawing power over the network cable rather than a single self-contained reader at the opening. Choose the A3 when you want one keyless entry point programmed at the door, and the AC-2DM-B when you are wiring two doors back to a network-powered controller.
6) What should I use instead of the Codelocks A3 Vandal Resist controller if the entrance also needs intercom and a call station?
The Codelocks A3 Vandal Resist AL03 DX VR SG is a credential-only device - code and card users at Master, User and Panic levels, with a doorbell connection but no voice communication. If the opening needs an attended entry point with speech, look at the Aiphone IMU-100, a controller and operation station kit for the IM system, which pairs the control unit with an operation station. Use the A3 where a resident or employee presents a code or MIFARE card, and the IM system where someone inside has to talk to the visitor before releasing the door.
7) Should I use a standalone door controller like the Codelocks A3 or a networked multi-door controller?
Go standalone when you are securing one opening and want it programmed at the door with no back end. The A3 Vandal Resist handles that, with up to 600 users. If you need several doors managed centrally over the network, a panel-type unit is the right shape instead, such as the Aiphone AC-2DM-B PoE Two-Door Access Controller from the AC Series, which is built to control two doors rather than mount at the reader.
8) Can the Codelocks A3 controller ring a doorbell or trigger an alarm?
Yes, it has both doorbell and alarm connections. The keypad is 12 individual buttons laid out 2 x 6, with LED status indicators, and there is a configurable penalty time that locks out the keypad after repeated wrong entries. The anti-tamper sensor can feed the alarm side if the unit is attacked.
9) Does the Codelocks A3 door controller include the lock itself?
No. The A3 is a controller, not a lockset. It reads the credential and sends the release signal, so you still need the locking device it drives, plus power and the wiring between them. Budget the strike or maglock and power supply as separate line items on the job.
10) If I have two doors to control, does one Codelocks A3 Vandal Resist cover both?
No. The Codelocks A3 Vandal Resist AL03 DX VR SG is a standalone controller for a single opening, programmed at the unit for up to 600 code and card clients including two Panic Clients. For two doors from one device, the Aiphone AC-2DM-B is a PoE two-door access controller. Two-door coverage from one panel or per-door standalone units with no software to maintain is the trade you are making.
11) Is the Codelocks A3 Vandal Resist rated for commercial use, and what finish does it come in?
It is a commercial-grade unit and comes one way: Silver Grey. Model designation is AL03 DX VR SG in the A3 Door Controllers series, so if you are standardizing several entries across a building, every unit will match.
