Lockey E985-AB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Lockey E985 keypad lever lock fit my existing door prep?
If the door is already bored for a standard cylindrical lockset, yes. The E985 uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, which is the standard commercial prep, and it handles doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The latch is adjustable, so it covers the common backset without ordering a separate latch.
2) Can the Lockey E985 be keyed into my building's existing Schlage master key system?
The E985 key override uses a 5 pin Schlage keyway cylinder, so it can be keyed by a locksmith into an existing Schlage-keyway system. Two keys come with the lock.
3) How many user codes does the Lockey E985 hold, and can I give out a one-time code?
Six user codes plus one disposable code, each 4 to 10 digits. That is enough for a small staff or a single tenant unit, but if you need audit trail or dozens of users, look at a higher-capacity keypad lock such as the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700, which holds 100 user codes, or the Alarm Lock T3 with audit trail.
4) Will the Lockey E985 work on a 2 inch thick door?
No. The E985 tops out at 1-3/4 inches. For a thicker door, the TownSteel XCE-2000 keypad lockset covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches, and the SDC E75 battery keypad lockset goes 1-3/4 to 2-1/8 inches.
5) I need a Grade 1 keypad lock for a school or hospital spec. Is the Lockey E985 the right choice?
If the drawing calls out an ANSI/BHMA grade, specify a lock that carries one. Options we hold include the Schlage CO-100 keypad lock (Grade 1, heavy duty, 1-3/4 inch doors), the Alarm Lock Trilogy DL2700 (Grade 1), and the TownSteel XCE-9000 classroom intruder keypad lockset (Grade 1). The E985 is a commercial-use battery keypad lever with key override and is a good fit for offices, tenant spaces and back-of-house doors where a graded spec is not being enforced.
6) What happens if the batteries die on the Lockey E985?
You still get in with a key. The E985 carries a 5 pin Schlage keyway override cylinder and ships with two keys, and there is a low battery indicator to warn you before it gets that far.
7) Is the SDC Electra 7200 a substitute for the Lockey E985?
No. The Lockey E985 runs on 4 AA alkaline batteries with no wiring required, which is why it drops onto an existing door. The SDC Electra 7200 Series is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock with dual voltage 12/24VDC for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, so it has to be powered and tied to an access control system or release device rather than programmed at the keypad. If you want a standalone battery keypad from SDC instead, the E75 Series is the battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control.
8) The Lockey E985 only holds 6 user codes - what keypad lock handles a larger population of users?
The Lockey E985 stores up to 6 user codes plus one disposable code with 4 to 10 digit combinations, which suits a single office or tenant suite. For a larger user population, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical entrance lock with a digital keypad and 100 user codes, and it is IC/SFIC compatible for keying into an existing interchangeable core system. The Alarm Lock DL5200 is a double-sided electronic cylindrical lock also rated at 100 user capacity with battery operation, so codes are required on both faces of the door.
9) Is there a keypad lever lock equivalent to the Lockey E985 that will fit a 1-3/4 inch door and nothing thinner?
The Lockey E985 covers a 1 3/8 inch to 1 3/4 inch door thickness range, so it reaches down to thinner leaves. If the opening is a 1-3/4 inch commercial door, the TownSteel XCE-2000 electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom-function unit listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the SDC E75 Series battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch. Both start at 1-3/4 inch, so neither will suit a 1 3/8 inch door the way the E985 does.
10) What is the closest alternative to the Lockey E985 if the job spec calls for an ANSI Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock?
The Lockey E985 is a commercial-rated stainless steel electronic keypad lever lock with 5 pin Schlage keyway override. Where the drawing calls out ANSI Grade 1 specifically, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T3 DL3075 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with keypad access and an audit trail, and the Schlage CO-100-CY-40-KP is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic cylindrical lock with keypad and cylinder options in privacy function. The Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100 is also Grade 1 with a keypad and privacy function.
11) Which keypad lock should I use instead of the Lockey E985 on a classroom door that needs lockdown?
The Lockey E985 is an electronic keypad lever lock with auto-locking and key override, built for offices, retail and multi-tenant residential entries. For classroom lockdown the TownSteel XCE-9000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the TownSteel FCE-4000 is an RFID electronic intruder classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock in classroom/storeroom function with a smart mobile reader.
12) Does the E985 come with a remote, and how many remotes can it take?
One remote control ships with the lock, and the system will pair up to five total. Handy for a gate-side or warehouse door where you want hands-free entry without punching a code.
13) Is the Lockey E985 rated for exterior doors?
The exterior lock body is stainless steel with weather-resistant exterior components, which is why it gets used on warehouse, service and side-entry doors rather than interior only. Lever handle, backlit keypad for night use, and auto-locking so the door does not get left open.
14) How much room does the E985 keypad escutcheon take up on the door face?
The unit measures 5-1/2 x 3-1/8 x 1-3/16 inches, so it needs a face wide enough for that plate. On a narrow-stile aluminum door, measure before you commit.
15) I need remote or phone-based control rather than the Lockey E985 remote fob - what else is available?
The Lockey E985 ships with one remote control and supports up to five remotes total alongside the backlit keypad. If the requirement is credential or mobile-based control instead, the Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless cylindrical lock using 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy and is mobile enabled with storeroom, office, privacy and apartment functions. The CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in privacy function, and the Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 SmartCode Tustin lever uses Z-Wave for home automation integration.
16) If I do not need the electronics, what mechanical lever lockset fits the same door prep as the Lockey E985?
The Lockey E985 uses a standard 2 1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore and a lever handle. For a purely mechanical keyed lever in the same cylindrical family, the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 entrance-function single cylinder lever lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA 195RAB is a Grade 1 Survivor Series entry clutched lever supplied less core. For a non-keyed opening, the Marks USA 195N is a Grade 1 ADA compliant passage lever and the Cal-Royal CAL30 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty passage lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
17) Which keypad locks compare to the Lockey E985 for key override on a masterkeyed building?
The Lockey E985 has a 5 pin Schlage keyway cylinder with 2 keys included, so it can be keyed into a Schlage-keyway master system. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with a key override function, and the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 keypad lock is IC/SFIC compatible for small format interchangeable cores. The Schlage CO-100-CY-40-KP is offered with cylinder options for the override side.
18) Does the Lockey E985 give me an audit trail, and if not what does?
The Lockey E985 manages access with up to 6 user codes, a disposable code and up to 5 remotes, with a low battery indicator and backlit keypad. If you need a record of who opened the door, the Alarm Lock T3 DL3075 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with audit trail and keypad access. The Schlage NDEB ENGAGE Series Grade 1 wireless lock is mobile enabled over Bluetooth Low Energy for managing credentials from software rather than at the keypad.
19) What finishes does the Lockey E985 come in for matching other hardware in a building?
Four finishes: antique brass, bright brass, oil-rubbed bronze and satin nickel. Satin nickel is the usual match for commercial lever hardware; the bronze and brass options suit multi-family and hospitality openings where the rest of the trim is decorative.
20) What is a simpler keypad lever alternative to the Lockey E985 for a residential-style entry?
The Lockey E985 is a commercial-rated stainless steel keypad lever with remote control and Schlage keyway override. For a lighter residential entry, the Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 SmartCode is an electronic Tustin lever in keyed-one-side function covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors with Z-Wave technology, so it reaches thicker doors than the E985 and uses a decorative residential lever style rather than stainless commercial trim.
