Schlage Electronics CO-100 Standalone Electronic Rim/Concealed Exit Device Trim, Office/Classroom Function, Keypad Reader

That's what this trim is for. The CO-100 exit trim chassis mounts to the outside of a rim or concealed vertical rod device and controls the device's pull side with a 3 to 6 digit PIN, leaving the push bar to handle free egress. Schlage states the CO Series is compatible with most major brands of exit devices, so you are not limited to a Schlage device on the door. The trim itself is built for 1-3/4 inch doors and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.3 for exit trim.

Handing is a required selection on the order, and the choices are Field Reversible, RH, LH, RHR, and LHR. The trim is field reversible, so if you are stocking for a building with mixed swings, the reversible option covers both hands from one part number and gets set at install.

No cylinder ships with it. Mechanical key override is standard on the CO-100, but you order the cylinder separately and pick the prep on the trim: B for SFIC prep less core, J for Schlage FSIC prep less core, L for less cylinder, or P for a Schlage standard conventional cylinder. Schlage states the override is compatible with cylinders from Schlage and other popular brands, so a building already on a master key system can usually keep that system.

Outside lever stays locked at all times and a valid PIN or the key override releases it for entry. There is no way to leave it unlocked from the outside lever, so a teacher or supervisor cannot accidentally leave the room open. Inside egress is always free through the exit device push bar. That is the function to use on supply closets, equipment rooms, and maintenance areas.

Yes. The classroom/storeroom function is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.25 full outdoor, and Schlage lists pool gates, breezeways, and other outdoor applications for the CO-100. It is battery powered with no wiring run to the opening, which is usually what makes a gate practical in the first place.

UL 10C, UL 294, UL Canada, FCC Part 15, and ADA are all listed on the CO-100, and it is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. Exit trim meets ANSI/BHMA A156.3. That set covers most institutional spec sheets for a fire rated opening with electronic access.

The CO-100 is trim only, so the device is a separate line on the order. Stanley Security's QED111EDX is a Grade 1 heavy duty rim exit device with hex dogging, electric dogging, and request-to-exit, and rim is the device type this trim is made to mount on. Schlage states the CO Series works with most major brands of exit devices, so a Stanley rim device and a Schlage keypad trim is a normal pairing.

Both are Grade 1 exit device trim, but they do different jobs at the door. The Schlage CO-100 is an electronic exit device trim with a keypad reader, running on four AA batteries, that grants entry on a 3 to 6 digit PIN in a classroom/storeroom function. The Stanley QET120 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty exit trim with a dummy lever, ANSI function 02, so the lever is fixed and provides a pull only; entry from the outside is controlled some other way. Choose the CO-100 when the outside of the door needs to release the exit device on a credential, and the QET120 when the outside lever is only a pull on a door that stays locked or is dogged.

They solve the access problem in opposite ways. The Schlage CO-100 exit device trim is standalone and battery operated on four AA cells, so it needs no wiring to the door and stores its user rights on the lock itself, with up to 500 unique PIN codes. The Stanley QED111EDX is a Grade 1 heavy-duty rim exit device with hex dogging, electric dogging and a request-to-exit function, which means it expects power and a connection back to an access control or monitoring system to do its electric work. On an opening with no power run to it, the CO-100 keypad trim keeps the credential at the door; the QED111EDX suits an opening that is already wired and being monitored.

No wiring. The CO-100 is a standalone lock: all 500 PIN codes and user rights live on the lock itself, and an administrator adds or deletes codes at the keypad. If you want credentials managed from software across a portfolio of doors, this is the wrong product tier and you want a networked CO or AD Series lock instead.

Four AA batteries, with up to two years of life and a low battery status indicator on the lock. For an MRO crew that means one battery swap per door on roughly a two year cycle, no power run, no transformer.

Six lever styles (Athens, Latitude, Longitude, Rhodes, Sparta, Tubular) and seven finishes (605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 643E aged bronze) are available, so a property manager standardizing a building can usually pull the CO-100 into the existing lever and finish scheme rather than having one odd door.

2-3/4 inch backset, with a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch square corner deadlatch and a 1-3/16 inch lip ANSI strike measuring 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, no box. If your existing openings are prepped 2-3/8 inch, that prep does not carry over. Where the trim is mounted on a rim or concealed vertical rod exit device, the device's own latching governs and the trim rides the existing device prep.

Skip the electronic trim. Stanley Security's QET120 is a Grade 1 heavy duty exit trim with a dummy lever, ANSI function 02, and the QRT320 is the Grade 1 round rose version of the same idea. Both are pull only with no locking or credential, which is what you want on a door that stays unlocked during hours. The CO-100 only makes sense when you actually need PIN controlled entry.

Programming options on the CO-100 include normal, toggle, pass through, and freeze. Toggle lets a valid code hold the lever unlocked for open hours and a second entry re-secures it, which is how a reception vestibule or common area gets run without anyone throwing a manual lock. All of it is programmed at the keypad, no laptop and no software.

No, they are not interchangeable in what they let a user do. The Stanley QRT320 is a Grade 1 round rose exit trim with a dummy lever, so the lever does not retract anything and serves as a pull. The Schlage CO-100 is an electronic exit device trim with a keypad that operates the device on a PIN and includes mechanical key override, ordered with a Schlage standard conventional cylinder, an SFIC or FSIC prep less core, or less cylinder. If the goal is simply a lever-look pull on the outside of an exit device, the QRT320 does that; if outside users must gain entry on a code or a key, the CO-100 is the one that opens the door.

Both carry a Grade 1 rating, so the decision is about how you want the door controlled and re-keyed over time. The Schlage CO-100 in classroom/storeroom function lets an administrator add or delete PIN codes right at the keypad, which removes the need to reissue keys when staff change, and it still accepts a mechanical key override on a Schlage cylinder or an interchangeable core prep. The Stanley QET120 exit trim is a dummy lever in ANSI function 02, so the outside is a pull and the opening is secured by the exit device and whatever else is on the door. Facilities standardizing on code-based access at scattered doors go with the CO-100; doors that are simply pull-only from the corridor take the QET120.

Rated commercial heavy duty and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, which is the top grade for this hardware and the level institutional specs normally call for. The cylindrical chassis meets A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1. Traffic is not the limiting factor here; battery replacement on a two year cycle is the maintenance item.
