Dormakaba InSync Battery Operated ASM Mortise Lock, Auto Deadbolt, Entry, Continental Lever, Left Hand, Satin Chrome

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
 

SAM RF Software & Hardware: The Windows-based SAM RF software, the encoder (key-encoding device), and the handheld utility device for programming the locks are separate items:

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 RM12E0C-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Dormakaba InSync RM12E0C mortise lock work on a right hand door?
No. The RM12E0C is built left hand and the handing is not field reversible on this model, so a right hand opening needs the right hand version of the same lock. Check the door as you stand outside it: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings away from you, that is a right hand door and this one is wrong for it.
2) Can the InSync mortise lock go on a fire rated apartment door?
Yes. The M series ASM mortise lock is UL certified for use on fire doors with either a 20-minute or a 3-hour rating, which covers both a typical apartment entry door and a stair or corridor opening carrying a 3-hour assembly.
3) What does the Entry configuration on an InSync lock actually do differently?
Entry makes an InSync Unit lock behave like a hotel lock: it always re-locks automatically behind the resident, so nobody can leave the door unsecured on the way out. Compare that to Suite Egress, where the key or the thumbturn has to be used to manually re-lock. For student housing or workforce housing where residents forget, Entry is the configuration that keeps the door locked without anyone thinking about it.
4) What else do I need to buy to run InSync locks in my building?
The lock alone will not run a property. InSync works with SAM RF software, and the Windows-based software, the encoder that writes the RFID keys, and the handheld utility device used to program the locks are all separate purchases. Dormakaba also lists the R20470 SAM RF Emergency Lock Power Supply, which is what gets you into a door when the batteries in the lock are dead. Budget the system pieces up front, not just the door count.
5) Does this lock need to be wired, and what powers it?
No wiring. It runs on 4 AA batteries at the door, so there is no power run, no transformer, and no door loop to pull. That is the practical reason multifamily retrofits use InSync: you are cutting a mortise pocket, not opening walls. If you want hard-wired AC/DC for a common area opening tied to electric strikes or mags, the InSync RAC and CP products cover that instead.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Dormakaba InSync RM12E0C battery operated mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The RM12E0C is a battery operated electronic mortise lock with a lever handle, so the nearest peers are credential-reading mortise locks that run without wiring to the door. The TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader, mobile enabled deadbolt with LED and Greenwich trim, right hand, carrying a 3 hour fire rating. Both read a credential at the lock the way the InSync does rather than requiring a keypad entry.
7) What electronic mortise lock can I use instead of the InSync RM12E0C if residents will enter a code rather than carry a credential?
The RM12E0C is a battery operated electronic mortise lock read by a credential at the lock. If you would rather issue PIN codes, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Trilogy electronic mortise lock, Grade 1, classroom function, with 300 user codes and a door thickness range of 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches. The Alarm Lock DL2700CR is a Trilogy T2 electronic mortise lock with classroom function and weatherproof design, also Grade 1 over the same 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch range. The Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock uses a capacitive touchscreen keypad with no deadbolt and cylinder override.
8) The opening has power run to it and is tied into an access control panel. Is the InSync RM12E0C the right lock, or should I use a wired mortise lock?
The RM12E0C runs on battery power at the door rather than off building power. If the opening is already wired, a hardwired electromechanical mortise lock fits the infrastructure: the BEST 45HW Series is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation in a heavy duty body, and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit and 12/24VDC operation on 1-3/4 inch doors, corridor function. The Command Access ML190 Series is a motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC in a heavy duty storeroom function.
9) Will a Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt do the same job as an InSync RM12E0C on an apartment door?
No. The RM12E0C is a complete electronic mortise lockset with a lever and an automatic deadbolt in the entry configuration, which makes the lock re-lock automatically behind a resident. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset from the 4870 Series, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt function mortise lock with no handing. Both are deadbolt bodies only, with no lever and no latch, so an opening replacing an RM12E0C would still need separate latching trim.
10) The InSync RM12E0C is left hand. What if my door is right hand or I need a lock that works either way?
The RM12E0C is a left hand lever mortise lock, so handing has to match the opening. If you need a body that can be set either way in the field, the BEST 45HCAC is a heavy duty public entrance mortise lock body with field reversible operation, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise locks are supplied with no handing. For a right hand electronic option, the Schlage LEMD-GRW ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock is right hand with Greenwich trim.
11) Can InSync mortise locks be used on exterior perimeter doors in cold or hot climates?
Yes. The M mortise models are indoor/outdoor approved and rated from -31 F to 151 F (-35 C to 66 C), which covers a northern exterior entry and a sun-loaded south-facing door. For the perimeter and amenity openings themselves, the Common configuration is the one designed for that use rather than Entry, which is a unit door configuration.
12) Do InSync residents need a separate key or fob for every door?
One key covers multiple access points. The InSync RFID key carries the resident's access rights across perimeter, amenity, utility and unit doors, and access privilege changes and move ins/outs are pushed to each lock automatically the first time a newly encoded key is used in it. That is the no touring part: staff do not walk the property to reprogram doors after a turnover.
13) Is the InSync lever ADA compliant for an apartment entry door?
The levers and thumbturns on the M mortise models are ADA-compliant. The RM12E0C uses a Continental lever, which is the operable-without-grasping shape ADA calls for, and the Entry configuration means a resident does not have to perform a second locking motion on the way out.
14) Should I use an InSync mortise lock or a keypad electronic mortise lock for apartment doors?
It comes down to credentials and management. InSync is an RFID key system with property-wide software behind it, so it fits a landlord managing turnover across many units. If you want codes instead of cards, the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy T2 and DL3500CR are Grade 1 keypad mortise locks with classroom function, and the Schlage CO-100 keypad mortise lock is a standalone privacy-function unit. TownSteel's FME-2000 Series is another Grade 1 mortise lockset using RFID if you want cards without the InSync software.
15) InSync has been discontinued. What do I use for new apartment doors going forward?
Dormakaba has issued an end-of-life notice on the InSync series, so it is worth planning new installs on a current platform. For wireless credential-managed multifamily and commercial openings, the Schlage ENGAGE LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3-hour fire rating, and the Schlage LE Series LEBMB-ADD is a mobile-enabled mortise lock with apartment function and a 3-hour fire rating. Both keep you on a supported system while matching the mortise prep.
16) I only need a keyed mortise lock on an apartment entry door, not an electronic one. What is the simpler alternative to the InSync RM12E0C?
The RM12E0C is an electronic lock and needs programming and batteries to operate. For a purely mechanical apartment entry, the Baldwin 6301 lever by lever mortise lock body is an entrance/apartment function with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inches and over, and the same 6301 is offered knob by knob. For an entrance/office opening the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors. None of these read a credential; they are keyed cylinder locks.
17) Is an Emtek 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance lockset a substitute for the InSync RM12E0C?
It is not. The Emtek 3106 Manhattan and the Emtek 3104 Hamilton are both mortise entrance locksets in dummy function, meaning the trim does not operate a latch at all. The RM12E0C is a working electronic mortise lock with a lever in the entry configuration that re-locks automatically behind a resident. Dummy trim like the Emtek 3019 Brisbane or the Schlage L0170 half dummy Grade 1 mortise non-keyed lever is used on an inactive leaf or a pull side, not on a secured apartment entry.
18) What electronic mortise lock should I look at for a common area or amenity door instead of an apartment entry lock?
The RM12E0C is configured for entry, where the lock always re-locks automatically behind a resident. For a shared or staff-managed door, the Schlage CO-100 is a standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader in privacy function, Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a mobile enabled Grade 2 mortise lock with push button and LED covering privacy, office and apartment functions with a 3 hour fire rating. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override.
19) I am standardizing a building on Grade 1 mortise locks. Which mortise locks carry a stated Grade 1 rating alongside the InSync RM12E0C?
Across mortise locksets, the Grade 1 options include the Accentra 8805FL storeroom lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal NM8080 heavy duty storeroom lockset with an interchangeable core option, and the Hager 3810S passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches. On the electronic side, 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.
20) Can I put a Codelocks CL2255 on a door that currently has a Dormakaba InSync RM12E0C?
Treat them as different classes of hardware. The RM12E0C is a battery operated electronic mortise lock with a lever and an automatic deadbolt in the entry configuration. The Codelocks CL2255 is an electronic tubular mortise latch in a brushed steel finish, rated medium duty in the CL2000 Series. It is a latch rather than a deadbolting lockset and sits at a different duty level, so on an apartment entry door the closer swap is a heavy duty electronic mortise lockset such as the TownSteel FME-2000 Series Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset.
21) I need the InSync RM12E0C function on a dormitory or corridor door where residents lock behind themselves with a key. What else does that?
The RM12E0C entry configuration makes the lock re-lock automatically behind a resident. If you want the resident to control the deadbolt instead, the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt in the 7900 Series. For a suite-style corridor opening the Baldwin 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock body has a 2-1/2 inch backset and fits doors 1-3/8 inches and over, with a right hand reverse lever version as the 6310190RRLS.
22) What finish is the RM12E0C, and can I match it to existing hardware?
This one is 626 satin chrome. Across the InSync range the finishes are satin chrome, satin brass, bright chrome, bright brass, dark mahogany and satin nickel, so a property standardizing on brass or nickel trim can stay consistent door to door. 626 is the usual commercial default and the easiest to match against existing closers, exit devices and hinges.
23) How many residents can be on one InSync unit lock?
On the M unit configuration, multiple residents can hold access to the same unit and each one is tracked individually in the system, with an audit trail written into the lock at every use. Suite locks recognize up to 20 unique resident codes. For a roommate or student housing situation, that means you are not sharing one credential and you can see who opened the door.
