Codelocks CL5250 BS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to order the Codelocks CL5250 handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The CL5250 is non handed, so the same lock goes on a door hung left or right. That also means a property manager stocking spares only has to carry one part number for openings that swing both ways.
2) What does back-to-back mean on the CL5250, and do I need it?
Back to back means there is an independent keypad plate on both faces of the door, so a code is required to get through from either direction. That suits a room you need to control entry AND exit on, such as a secure store or a records room. If you only need to control entry and want free egress from inside, back to back is more lock than the job needs.
3) Which CL5250 mortise lock option should I order if we key our building on small format interchangeable core?
Order the SFIC version. The CL5250 is offered in three builds: Standard mortise lock, mortise lock with SFIC prep, and the Code In/Out back to back configuration. The SFIC version does not come with a core or keys, so pull a core from your existing system to keep the opening on your master key.
4) Will the CL5250 drop into an existing ANSI mortise pocket?
The CL5250 is built as an ANSI mortise lock for 86 prep, so it goes into a door already machined for a standard ANSI/86 mortise pocket rather than needing a bored cylindrical prep. If your existing doors are prepped for a cylindrical lockset, this is not a swap; you would need a door with mortise prep or a different lock body style.
5) How many people can I give codes to on a Codelocks CL5250?
Up to 80 user codes are stored, each 4, 5 or 6 digits long, plus up to 10 one-time codes for contractors or one-off visitors. Codes are added and changed at the keypad on the door, so there is no software or programming cable to manage. For a property manager turning over tenants or a school issuing staff codes, that is the whole workflow at the door.
6) Can the CL5250 be released from a reception desk?
Yes. The lock has connections for remote release by a reception desk button, and an alarm release is included. That is the reason it gets specified in care homes, hotels and clinics where a staffed desk needs to buzz someone through without handing out a code.
7) How often will I be changing batteries on a Codelocks CL5250?
The CL5250 runs on AA cells supplied with the lock and is rated for over 200,000 operations. Before they die, a red LED flashes on opening as a low battery warning, so maintenance gets notice rather than a lockout. There is also a tamper time out if someone stands there trying codes.
8) Is the CL5250 rated for an exterior door?
It is listed as suitable for internal and external use, and the keypad plate carries a PVD low maintenance brushed steel finish, which is what holds up on a weather-facing side. The lock body is zinc alloy and rated heavy duty commercial.
9) Can I have several CL5250 locks keyed alike?
Keyed alike is available on the CL5250, which matters if you are putting the lock on a run of doors and want one key to cover the mechanical override across all of them. Say so when you place the order; keyed alike has to be set up at the time of supply, not after.
10) Does the Codelocks CL5250 keypad mount vertically or horizontally?
Vertical. The plate is a 3 x 4 button layout with individual stainless steel buttons running down the door, so allow for a vertical escutcheon footprint above or below the lever when you check clearance against glass stops, vision panels or a narrow stile.
11) Can I set the CL5250 to let people through without entering a code during business hours?
Yes, it supports code free entry, so the lock can be held in a passage state while the office, clinic or school is open and put back on code at the end of the day. Combined with the one-time codes, that covers most of what a facility needs without going to a networked access control system.
