Dormakaba E2051-XS-LL-626-41 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 fit a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. The E-Plex 2000 cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/2 inch doors, and it arrives pre-assembled for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch, so a 2 inch door needs no thickness adjustment out of the box. Anything thinner than 1-5/8 or thicker than 2 inches is still in range but you'll be resetting the lock for the thickness during install. That range is wider than most electronic cylindricals: the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 covers 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch only, and the Schlage CO-100 keypad lock is listed at 1-3/4 inch.
2) Does the E-Plex 2000 keypad lock need wiring run to the door?
No wiring at all. The E-Plex 2000 is a standalone battery lock that stores its codes and its event log in the lock itself, so there's no power transfer hinge, no door loop, and no reader cable to pull. For a retrofit in an occupied building that's the difference between a two hour job and a wall opening. Programming is done at the keypad without taking the lock off the door, or with the optional Excel-based software. If you actually want a wired, access-control-panel lock instead, the SDC Electra 7200 Series is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock running 12/24VDC.
3) What does the privacy function do on an electronic pushbutton lock like the E-Plex 2000?
Privacy on this lock means the outside is controlled by code while the inside always gives free egress, so an occupant can secure the room from within and still get out without entering anything. It's the function you want for restrooms, locker rooms, exam rooms, and single-occupancy offices. It is not a classroom or storeroom lock, so if you need a lock that stays latched to the corridor and is dogged open only by staff, look at a classroom-function electronic set like the TownSteel XCE-2000 Series instead.
4) Which key override should I order on the E-Plex 2000, XS or B?
That's the one decision on the order form. XS ships with the key-in-lever Kaba cylinder in a Schlage C keyway, a 1539 6-pin, and it's included in the price, so it's the pick if the building has no keying standard or already runs Schlage C. B is prepped for BEST and equivalent small format interchangeable core, 6 or 7-pin, and the core is NOT included, so you supply it from your existing SFIC system and the lock keys straight into what's already on your other doors. Both come in 626 Satin Chrome and Dark Bronze.
5) Will the E-Plex 2000 latch into the strike that's already in my frame?
Standard build is a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1/2 inch latch throw, which is the ordinary commercial bore and the ordinary strike lip relationship, so an existing ANSI prep usually takes it. A 2-3/8 inch backset and a 3/4 inch throw are both available if your bore is the shorter one or the frame gap is loose. Two strikes ship in the box, an ANSI A115.3 T strike and an A115.2 ASA strike, so you can match either a wood door frame prep or a hollow metal ASA cutout without a separate order.
6) Can I put the E-Plex 2000 on an aluminum storefront door?
Only if the stile is at least 5 inches. The E-Plex 2000 is a wide stile lock with a 5 inch minimum stile width, so a typical narrow stile aluminum entrance will not take it. Standard storefront practice on a narrow stile opening is a rim exit device with electrified or keypad trim rather than a cylindrical lockset. The E-Plex 2000 platform is also built in an exit trim configuration, which is the route for that opening.
7) Is the Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 fire rated and Grade 1?
Both. It's ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified to A156.25, A156.2, A156.13 and A156.3, and it's UL 10C fire rated, with the cylindrical latch carrying a 3-hour UL/ULC fire rating. It's also ADA compliant. That combination is what lets it go on a rated corridor or stair door in a hospital, school, or government facility where a non-rated keypad lock would fail inspection.
8) Can I use the E-Plex 2000 keypad with the exit device already on my door?
The E-Plex 2000 platform is also built as a rim exit device and mortise version, and Dormakaba lists verified compatible exit devices: Arrow S1250 and S3800, Corbin Russwin 5200 and 5200A, Detex 10 and F10, Dorma 9300 and 9300F, Monarch 18R and F-18R, Precision 21 and FL21, Sargent 2828, 3828, 8800 and 8888, Von Duprin 22/22F, 98/98F and 99/99F, and Yale 7100. Note the cylindrical lever version described here is the bored lock, not the exit trim, so for a door with a panic device you want the exit configuration. Compatibility can change if the device manufacturer revises their product.
9) I already run BEST SFIC cores in my building. Can the E-Plex 2000 key into that system?
Order the B key override version. It takes BEST and equivalent small format interchangeable cores in 6 or 7-pin length, and the core is not supplied, which is exactly what you want when you're pinning to an existing masterkey system. A locksmith drops your core in and the override key follows the building's hierarchy. If you'd rather not carry a core, the XS version arrives with the Kaba key-in-lever cylinder in Schlage C keyway already fitted.
10) What is the closest equivalent to the Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 privacy pushbutton lever lock from another manufacturer?
The nearest match is the Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100, a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with a privacy function and keypad. Both are standalone battery keypad cylindrical locks in privacy function at Grade 1, so an opening specified for one accepts the other in function terms. The difference to check before swapping is the door: the E-Plex 2000 cylindrical chassis covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/2 inch door thickness, while the Trilogy 4100 is listed for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. On a 2-inch or 2-1/2-inch door, only the E-Plex fits. The Schlage CO-100-CY-40-KP is a second Grade 1 privacy keypad cylindrical option, rated for 1-3/4 inch doors.
11) Which electronic lock should I use on a 2-inch thick door if the Trilogy 4100 does not fit?
The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 cylindrical version covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/2 inch doors and is pre-assembled for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch, so a 2-inch door needs no thickness kit. Among other keypad cylindrical locks, the TownSteel XCE-2000 and XCE-9000 are listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE lock for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch, and the SDC E75 for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch. The Alarm Lock DL2700 and DL5200 both stop at 1-7/8 inch, so a 2-inch door rules them out.
12) Which electronic lock should I use instead of the E-Plex 2000 on a classroom door that needs lockdown?
The E-Plex 2000 is a privacy function lock with key override, which is not a classroom or classroom-intruder function. For a classroom opening, the TownSteel XCE-9000 is a Grade 1 electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad, and the TownSteel FCE-4000 is an RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset. The TownSteel XCE-2000 and FCE-2000 are Grade 1 classroom function without the intruder designation, and the Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock in classroom/storeroom function with a push button and mobile reader. All of the TownSteel units listed above are heavy duty Grade 1.
13) Which keypad lock works with a Best small format interchangeable core like the E-Plex 2000 B option?
The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 in the B key override option accepts Best and equivalent small format interchangeable cores in 6 or 7-pin length, with the cylinder not included. Two peers cover the same requirement: the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700/DL2775 Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical lock is IC/SFIC compatible, and the BEST 9KZ EZ Series electronic keypad cylindrical lock has a key override function. If instead you want the cylinder supplied, order the E-Plex 2000 in the XS option, which includes a Kaba key-in-lever cylinder in the Schlage C keyway.
14) Is the Kwikset SmartCode 912TNL an alternative to the Dormakaba E-Plex 2000?
They are not interchangeable for commercial work. The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 SmartCode is an electronic Tustin lever with Z-Wave, in keyed one side function, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and intended for residential smart home use. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 is a commercial lockset, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified to A156.25, A156.2, A156.13 and A156.3, UL 10C fire rated with a 3-hour UL/ULC rated cylindrical latch, and approved from -31 F to 151 F. On a fire rated or exterior commercial opening, the E-Plex meets the spec and the SmartCode does not carry those listings.
15) Which electronic lock should I use if the door needs a keypad on both sides rather than only outside?
The Alarm Lock DL5200 is a double-sided electronic cylindrical lock with 100 user capacity and battery operation, listed for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 controls exterior access by code while allowing free egress, so the inside lever always releases without a code. Where both sides of an opening have to be credentialed, the DL5200 is the one to spec; where egress must stay free, the E-Plex 2000 is.
16) Does the E-Plex 2000 work on a narrow stile aluminum door, or is there a better choice?
The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 needs a minimum stile width of 5 inches and is a wide stile lock, prepared to ASA 161 with three additional through-bore holes in wood or metal doors. It is not a narrow stile lock. Where the stile is under 5 inches, the E-Plex 2000 is also offered in a rim exit device configuration, and it is verified compatible with rim devices including Von Duprin 22/22F, 98/98F and 99/99F, Sargent 8800 and 8888, Precision 21/FL21 and Detex 10/F10 - so on an aluminum storefront the keypad goes on exit trim rather than in a cylindrical bore.
17) Is the E-Plex 2000 handed, and can I use one lock for both left and right hand doors?
It's non-handed. The lock ships pre-assembled for a left-hand door and reverses in the field, so a property manager stocking spares only has to carry one part number for the whole building rather than a left and a right. Door prep is ASA 161 with three extra through-bore holes, in wood or metal doors, and that prep is the same either hand.
18) How many people can I give codes to on the E-Plex 2000, and can I see who went through the door?
Up to 100 access codes, spread across five authority levels, Master, Manager, Access User, Service and Maintenance, so a property manager can hand a contractor a code without giving them programming rights. The lock keeps the 1,000 most recent events in on-board memory. Reading that log requires the optional Excel-based software, since the keypad alone will not display it. Code length is adjustable from 4 to 8 digits, invalid-attempt lockout trips at 3 to 9 tries with a 0 to 90 second penalty, and re-lock time sets from 2 to 20 seconds.
19) Can the E-Plex 2000 be left unlocked during business hours?
Yes, it has a passage mode you toggle on and off at the keypad, and it can be pre-programmed to re-lock automatically after a set number of hours so nobody has to walk back at closing. There's also a lockout mode that shuts down code entry entirely. Between those and PIN access, one lock covers an office that's open to the public by day and code-only after.
20) Will a keypad lock survive an exterior door in a cold climate?
The E-Plex 2000 is approved for indoor and outdoor use from -31 F (-35 C) up to 151 F (66 C), with a solid cast exterior housing and levers and a cylindrical drive wear-tested for outdoor service. The body is brass or bronze. That temperature band covers most North American exterior openings, gate houses and unconditioned stairwells included.
21) What are the alternatives to the Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 for a privacy-function keypad lock?
Closest peers we carry in Grade 1 electronic cylindrical with a privacy function are the Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100 and the Schlage CO-100 keypad lock, both privacy/bed/bath function. The Trilogy 4100 fits 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors and the CO-100 is listed at 1-3/4 inch, so the E-Plex 2000's 1-3/8 to 2-1/2 inch range is the one to reach for on an odd thickness door. If you want credentials rather than a code, the CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 Bluetooth privacy cylindrical. For a plain mechanical privacy lock with no electronics to battery-maintain, the Cal-Royal CAL20 is Grade 1 privacy for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
22) Is there a keyless lock that does not need batteries as an alternative to the E-Plex 2000?
Yes. The Lockey 1600 is a heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with an adjustable backset, and the Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with an auto-locking passage function. Both are code-entry locks with no electronics, so there is no battery change and no programming session. What they do not carry is the electronic side of the E-Plex 2000: 100 access codes, five authority levels, and the 1,000-event audit trail. They are also knob locks rather than levers, so an opening that has to stay ADA compliant is not a candidate. The Lockey units are listed for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
23) What is the difference between the Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 and the Cal-Royal CAL20 privacy lock?
They solve the same opening two different ways. The Cal-Royal CAL20 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty mechanical privacy lock from the Calypso series, operated by a thumbturn-style privacy function with no code entry and no power. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 is an electronic pushbutton lock: entry is by a 4 to 8 digit code, up to 100 codes across five authority levels, with a 1,000-event audit trail in lock memory. Both are Grade 1. The CAL20 is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors; the E-Plex 2000 cylindrical chassis runs 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/2 inch. Choose the CAL20 where nobody needs to manage or audit who is entering, and the E-Plex where they do.
24) Can I use the SDC Electra 7200 in place of the E-Plex 2000?
Only if the opening is wired. The SDC Electra 7200 is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock running on dual voltage 12/24VDC, so it needs power run to the door and an access control system or switch to release it. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 requires no wiring to or through the door and holds its codes and audit trail on board. If the door has no power and no plan to bring it, the 7200 is not a substitute. The 7200 is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
25) What is the difference between the E-Plex 2000 and a smart Bluetooth lock like the CENTRIOS CEB100?
The CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in privacy function, and the Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 ENGAGE series cylindrical lock with a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy mobile enabled reader for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Both credential a phone. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 credentials a code on the keypad only, holds up to 100 codes and the last 1,000 events in lock memory, and programs at the keypad or with optional Excel-based software. Pick the Bluetooth locks where users carry the credential on a phone, and the E-Plex where the opening is handed off by code and nobody wants to enroll a device.
26) If a door only needs free passage and never needs to be locked, what costs less to install than an E-Plex 2000?
A mechanical passage lockset. The Marks USA 195N is a Grade 1 Survivor Series passage lever, ADA compliant, and the Cal-Royal CAL30 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty passage lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Orca OCL210 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage cylindrical lockset for lighter traffic. None of these lock, so they carry no codes, no batteries and no audit trail. The E-Plex 2000 does have a passage mode that toggles on and off or re-locks after a set number of hours, so choose it when the door is open during business hours and secured after.
27) Are Grade 2 lever locksets like the Orca OCL240 or Marks 175RF a substitute for the E-Plex 2000?
Not on a spec that calls for Grade 1. The Orca OCL240 privacy cylindrical lockset and OCL250 entrance lockset are Grade 2 medium duty, and the Marks USA 175RF SFIC storeroom lever is Grade 2. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified and UL 10C fire rated with a 3-hour rated cylindrical latch. For a fire rated opening or a facility standardizing on Grade 1, the Grade 2 levers do not meet the requirement. Among Grade 1 mechanical levers, the Marks USA 195RAB entry clutched lever is the closer peer.
28) What keypad lever lock works on a 1-3/8 inch door where the E-Plex 2000 is more lock than the job needs?
The Lockey E985 and E995 are electronic keypad lever locks with remote control, both listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the E985 includes a key override and the E995 is battery powered. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 cylindrical version also reaches down to 1-3/8 inch doors, and brings Grade 1 certification, UL 10C fire rating, 100 codes across five authority levels and a 1,000-event audit trail. On a light interior opening with a handful of users, the Lockey levers cover code entry without the programming depth.
29) Which keypad locks besides the E-Plex 2000 record who opened the door?
The Alarm Lock T3 DL3075 is an electronic cylindrical lock with audit trail and keypad access, Grade 1, in the DL3200 series. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 logs the 1,000 most recent events in on-board lock memory, with software required to read them out, across 100 access codes and five authority levels. Both put the record in the lock rather than on a network, so an audit means visiting the door. If the requirement is auditing across a facility from a central point, the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE lock is the Bluetooth-reader option to look at instead.
30) What finishes does the E-Plex 2000 pushbutton lever lock come in?
Two finishes are orderable: 626 Satin Chrome, which is the standard commercial finish and matches most existing brushed chrome hardware, and Dark Bronze. Both are available with either key override option, XS or B, so finish and keying are independent choices.
