Free Keying on all locks

InSync Lock Series

InSync locks work together with SAM RF software to create a single system that manages both key and access control at perimeter entries, amenity and utility doors as well as apartment or bedroom doors. With the InSync system, administrators only need to program the locks once; the software continually manages critical informational changes such as access privileges and move ins/outs. This information is delivered automatically to each lock via the InSync key once the “New” version of the key is created and used in the locks. Only one key is required for use at multiple access points, creating a convenient and efficient “No Touring” user experience. InSync lock models accommodate virtually all door types and preparations, and common area/amenity applications. The locks feature contemporary finishes and lever options to complement today’s design trends.

  • Unit — Designed for apartment entry, offices, utility rooms, and more
  • Suite — Ideal for multiple leases per apartment, such as student housing
  • Common — Used for perimeter entries and amenity spaces
  • Entry — Used to make an InSync Unit lock behave like a hotel lock; the lock will always automatically re-lock behind a resident
  • Suite Egress — Used to make a Suite lock act like a Unit lock where the key or the thumbturn is used to manually re-lock the lock
 

Product details

The InSync Access Control System has different configurations to accommodate various applications, from unit and suite to elevator and pool access. 

 

InSync I and D Unit Locks

The I and D unit configurations provide operational functionality for individual entry doors. Rotation of the inside thumbturn or the inserted RFID key extends or retracts the 1" dead bolt locking or unlocking the door. In the locked position, only duplicate resident and authorized service keys can access the unit. Unit locks are programmed with one resident code (change key). Each key made with one resident code can have up to 64 unique identity codes.

 

InSync M and L Unit Locks

The M and L unit configurations provide true residential entry lock functionality. Each time the inside lever is rotated, the lock goes into a “toggled” condition which eliminates the possibility of lock outs. When the key is inserted into the lock after egress, the lock is placed back into a locked position. An audit trail is created and stored within the lock for each occurrence. The inside thumbturn, when turned, will toggle the lock between unlocked and locked. Multiple residents can have access to the same unit if needed. All residents are completely unique in the system and are tracked individually.

 

InSync I, D, M and L Suite Locks

The suite configuration allows ingress and egress to multiple residents who need to access individual unit doors located behind the suite door. A resident uses the InSync I and D suite locks just like a traditional door lock.  The resident throws the dead bolt using the interior thumbturn or rotating the key in the lock after ingress or egress to relock the door. M and L suite locks have no interior thumbturn and always remain in a locked position after ingress or egress. Suite locks can recognize up to 20 unique resident codes.

 

InSync RAC Common Area Access

InSync RAC and CP products are available as either standalone battery- operated door locks or hard-wired AC/DC electrically powered devices designed to work in conjunction with other electronic latching hardware.
RAC works in conjunction with remote access points including elevators, outdoor pools, roll-up garage doors, parking arms, electric strikes, magnets, and telephone entry systems.

Dormakaba RM1200C-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does handing matter when ordering the InSync RM1200C mortise lock?
Handing matters. This one is built left hand, so stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left and the door swings away from you, it is left hand. Get it backwards and the lever and latch face the wrong way. The finish is 626 satin chrome. Model designation is RMB120C.
2) Can I put a battery powered InSync lock on an exterior perimeter door in a cold climate?
It is approved indoor and outdoor and rated from -31 F to 151 F (-35 C to 66 C), so a northern exterior entry is inside its range. Power is 4 AA batteries, which means no door cord, no transformer, and no electrician for the opening. Configuration here is Common, meant for perimeter entries and amenity spaces.
3) What is the closest alternative to the Dormakaba RM1200C mortise lock for a multifamily unit door if I want a keypad instead of an RFID key?
The Dormakaba RM1200C is a battery operated electronic mortise lock with a lever handle, and its credential is the InSync RFID key. If you would rather residents enter a code, the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock uses a capacitive touchscreen keypad and has no deadbolt, with cylinder override. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. Both keep the mortise prep and move the credential from a carried key to a code at the door.
4) I need an electronic mortise lock on an apartment door but the opening has to run on building power, not batteries. What should I use instead of the Dormakaba RM1200C?
The RM1200C runs on batteries at the door. For a wired opening, the BEST 45HW Series is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, and the Command Access ML190 Series is a motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC in a storeroom function. The Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is an electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit, on 12/24VDC in a corridor function. All three need power run to the frame and a transfer hinge or door loop, which a battery lock does not.
5) What is a comparable electronic mortise lock to the Dormakaba RM1200C for a classroom door rather than an apartment?
The Dormakaba RM1200C is configured for unit and common area multifamily openings. A classroom opening calls for a classroom function instead: the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with classroom function and 300 user codes for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick, and the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy T2 is Grade 1 classroom function with a weatherproof design over the same thickness range. The TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors, which keeps the card or fob credential the RM1200C uses.
6) Which electronic mortise lock should I use in place of the Dormakaba RM1200C on a 3-hour fire rated stair or corridor door?
The Dormakaba RM1200C ASM mortise lock is UL certified for fire doors at either a 20-minute or a 3-hour rating. If you are specifying across brands on a 3-hour opening, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile enabled deadbolt with LED, right hand, carrying a 3 hour fire rating. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 mobile enabled mortise lock with push button and LED in privacy, office and apartment functions for 1-3/4 inch doors, also rated 3 hours. Confirm the rating on the specific unit you order, since the RM1200C family covers both rating levels.
7) What is the difference between the InSync Unit, Suite, Common and Entry configurations?
They decide how the lock behaves, and you pick one at order time. Unit is for apartment entries, offices and utility rooms. Suite handles multiple leases behind one door, as in student housing, and recognizes up to 20 unique resident codes. Common is for perimeter entries and amenity spaces. Entry makes a Unit lock behave like a hotel lock, always relocking behind a resident. Suite Egress makes a Suite lock act like a Unit, relocked manually by key or thumbturn. Unit locks carry one resident code with up to 64 unique identity codes under it.
8) Do I need software to run InSync locks, or do they program at the door?
InSync locks run with SAM RF software, which manages key and access control together across perimeter entries, amenity and utility doors, and apartment or bedroom doors. You program the lock once; the software handles ongoing changes like access privileges and move ins and outs, and pushes them to each lock through the InSync key once a New version of the key has been made and used. One key covers multiple access points, so there is no touring the building to update doors. An audit trail is stored in the lock for each occurrence on M and L models.
9) Is the InSync lever ADA compliant for a multifamily common area door?
Levers and thumbturns on the M and L InSync models are ADA-compliant, and the handle here is a Continental lever rather than a knob. That matters on common area and accessible route doors where a twisting motion is not permitted.
10) What are the alternatives to a Dormakaba InSync RFID mortise lock for a multifamily or campus building?
Other electronic mortise locks ZenSupply carries take different credential approaches. The TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID technology in a classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, closest in credential type. Alarm Lock's Trilogy DL3500CR is a Grade 1 keypad mortise lock with 300 user codes for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, if you would rather issue PINs than keys. Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating. The InSync differs in that it is card-and-software managed through SAM RF with updates carried door to door on the key itself.
11) Can InSync control an elevator, pool gate or garage door, or just the door locks?
Beyond the locks, the InSync RAC remote access controller is a switch that works with electrified locking devices, controlling electric strikes and magnetic latches up to 24 volts AC/DC, and functions as an elevator control unit with a single relay. It handles remote access points including elevators, outdoor pools, roll-up garage doors, parking arms, electric strikes, magnets, and telephone entry systems, and comes flush or surface mount. For common area exit doors, the CP model works with rim and surface mount vertical rod panic hardware.
12) Is a Dormakaba InSync mortise lock the right choice if I just need a mechanical Grade 1 apartment lock?
If you do not need credentials, audit trails or software management, an electronic InSync lock is more system than the opening calls for. For a straight mechanical apartment entry, the Baldwin 6301 lever by lever mortise lock body is an entrance/apartment function on a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over. For a Grade 1 commercial storeroom door, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock from the 8800 Series.
13) Do I need a hardwired power supply or an electrician to install these locks?
No wiring at the opening. The InSync M and L locks run on 4 AA batteries, so there is no transformer, power transfer hinge or door loop to specify. Hardwired AC/DC options exist in the InSync line under the RAC and CP common area products, which are made to work alongside other electronic latching hardware.
14) If I do not need electronic access control on an apartment entry door, what mechanical mortise lock covers the same function as the Dormakaba RM1200C?
The RM1200C unit configuration is an apartment entry lock with a 1 inch automatic deadbolt and single motion egress. The mechanical equivalents in that function are the Baldwin 6301LS, an entry/apartment lever by lever mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, and the Baldwin 6301 in the same function with knob by knob trim. The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, which suits multifamily corridor doors. None of these carry a credential, so keying and rekeying stays a cylinder job rather than a software change.
15) What should I put on a storeroom or utility door in a building where the Dormakaba RM1200C is on the apartment doors?
The RM1200C covers unit, utility and office openings in the InSync system. Where an opening only needs a keyed storeroom function and no credential, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with an Arcadia lever in the 8800 Series, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. For an office door that needs to be left unlocked during the day, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 entrance/office mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch.
16) I have a Grade 1 spec on the drawing for an electronic mortise lock. Which options meet it?
Grade 1 electronic mortise locks in the mortise family include the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy, Grade 1 with classroom function and 300 user codes; the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy T2, Grade 1 classroom with a weatherproof design; the Alarm Lock DL4500DB, Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt; the Schlage CO-100-MS, a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock in privacy function with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW, Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless with a proximity reader; and the TownSteel FME-4000 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. Match the function column to the opening before the grade, since these differ on classroom, privacy and deadbolt behavior.
17) The Dormakaba RM1200C is left hand. What do I order for a right hand electronic mortise opening from another brand?
Handing is called out per unit on electronic mortise locks, so it is ordered rather than field set on most of them. The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is supplied right hand with Greenwich trim as a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock. If you would rather not track handing at all on the mechanical openings in the same building, the BEST 45HCAC heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function is field reversible, and the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock is field reversible as well.
18) Is the TownSteel FME-4000 an equivalent to the Dormakaba RM1200C since both use a card credential?
They share the credential type but not the application. The RM1200C is a battery operated ASM mortise lock built around unit and common area multifamily access, where one InSync key opens multiple points and the software pushes access changes to the lock. The TownSteel FME-4000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors, where the intruder function lets a teacher lock down the classroom from inside. If the requirement is lockdown at the door, the FME-4000 is the right part; if it is resident turnover management, it is not.
19) Does the Dormakaba RM1200C fit a door thicker than 2 inches, and what covers that range if not?
The InSync D and I models are listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a thicker door, the Hager 3810E 3800 Series Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon and a 2-3/4 inch backset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch, as does the Hager 3850E Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon, non-keyed, on the same backset. The Baldwin 6310 entrance/storeroom mortise lock body covers 1-3/8 inch and over. Verify the actual door before ordering, since these are mechanical functions rather than credentialed ones.
20) I found a Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt at a similar spec. Can it replace the Dormakaba RM1200C?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series, a key-both-sides bolt with no latch and no lever. The Dormakaba RM1200C is a battery operated electronic mortise lock with a Continental lever and an automatic deadbolt that retracts with the latch on single motion egress. On a residential or means of egress door, a double cylinder deadbolt requiring a key from inside is generally not permitted, so confirm the code for the opening before considering it.
21) What goes on a behavioral health or ligature resistant opening where the Dormakaba RM1200C lever is not acceptable?
A projecting lever is the wrong trim for those rooms. The Marks USA MAR5PDN 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant, in satin stainless steel. The TownSteel MRX-A-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage mortise lockset with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-L-01 is the Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever version. Each keeps the mortise prep so the door core work is the same as a lever mortise opening.
22) What do I use for the exit device door in the same building as the Dormakaba RM1200C electronic mortise locks?
A mortise lock body will not go on a door carrying a rim or vertical rod exit device. The InSync CP electronic lock is made for exit device openings and works with rim and surface mount vertical rod panic hardware. Across brands, the Falcon MESC600DT is a dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 Series exit devices with a fire rating. Match the trim to the exit device family already on the door rather than to the lock on the unit doors.
23) Which mortise lock matches the Dormakaba RM1200C for a bathroom or privacy door in an apartment?
The RM1200C is an entry lock with a keyed credential, which is more lock than a bathroom door needs. For privacy, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. If the privacy door still needs to report to an access system, the Schlage CO-100-MS is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock in privacy function with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors.
24) The Dormakaba RM1200C is satin chrome. What matches it in the same finish across other electronic mortise locks?
The RM1200C comes in 626 satin chrome. Dormakaba also finishes InSync locks in satin brass, bright chrome, bright brass, dark mahogany and satin nickel across the model range. Where you are mixing brands on the same floor, the Schlage 03A electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock is a 626 unit as well, so the two read the same on adjacent doors. Marks USA MAR5PDN and the TownSteel MRX-A-01 are satin stainless steel, which sits close but is not the same finish code.
