Schlage Electronics CO-200 Standalone Electronic Mortise Lock, Classroom/Storeroom Function, Keypad Reader

No. The CO-200 mortise lock is built for 1-3/4 inch doors only, which is the standard commercial thickness. On a 1-3/8 inch door you need a lock rated down to that thickness, like the Lockey E995 keypad lever lock, which covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, or the Cal-Royal CAL20 at 1-3/8 to 2 inch. Keep in mind those are different functions and different lock types, so check the function you need before substituting.

Not on most versions. The CO-200 is ordered less cylinder in three of the four cylinder options: B for 7-pin SFIC (Schlage, Falcon and competitive OEM cores), J for Schlage 6-pin FSIC, and L for Schlage or Falcon 6-pin KIL. Only the P option ships with a Schlage standard conventional cylinder. If you pick B, J or L, order the core separately in your facility's keyway so the mechanical override keys into your existing master key system.

Classroom/storeroom means the outside lever stays locked at all times and entry is by valid credential or key. The inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress, so there is no way to lock someone in. On the CO-200 this is the 70 function and it is the version Schlage certifies to ANSI/BHMA A156.25 full outdoor. There is no thumbturn or pushbutton to leave the door unsecured by mistake, which is why it is the usual pick for storerooms, IT closets and classroom doors managed centrally.

Handing is a required selection on the CO-200. The choices are field reversible, RH right handed, LH left handed, RHR right handed reverse and LHR left handed reverse. The lock itself is field reversible, so if you are stocking spares for a mixed set of openings or you are not certain how the door swings, order field reversible and set it at install.

No wiring. The CO-200 is a standalone lock powered by four AA batteries, so there is no panel, no reader wiring and no door cord to run. Schlage rates it up to 2 years of battery life with a low battery status indicator. You program it manually at the keypad, or with a laptop using Schlage Express software, or by downloading at the lock through the Schlage Utility Software mobile app on a compatible Android device with an SUS-A cable.

The CO-200 carries UL 10C, the positive pressure fire door test standard, along with UL 294 for access control system units, UL Canada, FCC Part 15 and ADA. As a mortise lock it meets or exceeds ANSI/BHMA A156.13, Series 1000, Grade 1, and the 70 classroom/storeroom function is certified to A156.25 full outdoor. It is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial lock. Fire door assemblies are listed as a whole, so the door, frame and closer all have to carry their own labels.

The classroom/storeroom CO-200 is the wrong function for a restroom, since the outside lever is always locked and there is no occupant control. Schlage builds the CO-200 in privacy and office functions as well, and the privacy version offers a programmable occupancy indication option. Other options carried: the Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100, a Grade 1 privacy function electronic cylindrical lock for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the CENTRIOS CEB100, a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in privacy function.

The TownSteel XCE-2000 is the nearest match on paper: a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic cylindrical lockset with a keypad and a classroom function, rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The CO-200 keypad version is also Grade 1 and heavy duty with a classroom/storeroom function, and is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. The practical difference is the lock body: the CO-200 covered here is a mortise lock, while the XCE-2000 is cylindrical, so the door prep is not interchangeable between them.

The Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is the simpler route: a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical entrance lock with a digital keypad and 100 user codes, IC/SFIC compatible, for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick. The CO-200 is the more capable side of that comparison - it stores up to 2,000 users with an audit trail of up to 2,000 events and can be managed with Schlage Express software or the SUS mobile app. If nobody is going to pull audit reports, the 100-code DL2700 covers the opening with less to administer.

For a dedicated intruder-function opening, look at the TownSteel XCE-9000, an electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad, Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, or the TownSteel FCE-4000, an RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset, Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage CO-200 is a classroom/storeroom function lock; the CO Series offers classroom/storeroom, office, and privacy functions. Those are credential-based functions, not an inside-the-room lockdown thumbturn, so specify the intruder locks where the district requires lockdown from the classroom side.

No - specify the SDC Electra 7200 Series, a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock with dual voltage 12/24VDC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Schlage CO-200 is a standalone lock running on four AA batteries, so it holds its own users and schedules at the door rather than taking a release signal from a panel. Wire the 7200 when the panel controls the opening; use the CO-200 when you do not want to run wire to the door.

The TownSteel XCE-2000 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the SDC E75 Series covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch, and the SDC Electra 7200 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch - all keypad or electronically controlled cylindrical locks. The Schlage CO-200 is built for a 1-3/4 inch door. On a mixed building, measure the leaf before committing: an opening thicker than 1-3/4 inch points to the TownSteel or SDC range instead.

The CO-200 is the step up when you need to know who went where and when. It holds up to 2,000 users with an audit trail of up to 2,000 events, supports holidays and time zones for scheduled auto lock and unlock, and can be managed from a PC with Schlage Express software rather than only at the keypad. The CO-100 is keypad programmable only. If you just need a code on a back door, CO-100 is enough; if you are managing a building, need audits, or want the lock to run on a schedule, go CO-200. The CO-200 also shares an offline system with the AD-200, CO-220 and CT5000.

Yes on the credential side. The CO-200 accepts 3 to 6 digit PINs, proximity cards and magnetic stripe cards, and Schlage states it works with the same credential used on the building perimeter. Keypad plus card reader versions also support dual authentication, card and PIN together, for higher security rooms. The keypad reader version is code entry only, so if you want card credentials at that opening, order a reader version that includes them.

Six lever styles are offered on the CO-200: Athens, Latitude, Longitude, Rhodes, Sparta and Tubular. Finishes run to eight: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial and 643E aged bronze. For a facility standardizing across openings, 626 satin chrome is the usual commercial default, and the 626AM antimicrobial version is the one to specify for healthcare corridors and food service.

Several standalone keypad locks cover similar ground. The Alarm Lock Trilogy T3 DL3075 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with audit trail and keypad. The Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is Grade 1, IC/SFIC compatible, 100 user codes, for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, so a smaller user count than the CO-200's 2,000. The TownSteel XCE-9000 is a Grade 1 classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, worth looking at where you need to lock a classroom door from the inside. All three are cylindrical, not mortise.

Beyond the lock you generally need two things. First, a cylinder or core unless you pick the P option, since B, J and L are all supplied less cylinder. Second, if you plan to program from a laptop or phone rather than at the keypad, you need Schlage Express software for PC or the Schlage Utility Software app plus an SUS-A cable. Batteries are four AA. Choose handing, lever style and finish on the order as well, since all three are required selections.

Credential type is the split. The TownSteel FCE-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone motorized cylindrical lockset with RFID technology and a classroom function, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The CO-200 version described here uses a keypad reader, and the CO Series accepts 3 to 6 digit PIN, proximity and magnetic stripe cards, with dual authentication card plus PIN readers available. If the site already issues RFID cards and no one is entering codes, the FCE-2000 is a card-only opening; if you want a PIN at the door, the keypad CO-200 is the one that takes it.

Both are keypad locks but neither drops into the same door prep. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with a key override function, and the Accentra nexTouch NTB613 is a Grade 1 cylindrical keypad lock with pushbutton entry - both cylindrical. The CO-200 covered here is a mortise lock, so swapping to either means the door has to be prepped for a cylindrical bore instead of a mortise pocket. On a new opening or one already bored cylindrical, they are real alternatives; on an existing CO-200 mortise door they are not.

The Lockey 1600 is a heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with an adjustable backset, fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick - no batteries, no software, one combination changed by hand at the door. The Schlage CO-200 is battery operated on four AA cells with up to 2 years of battery life and a status indicator, and stores up to 2,000 users with an audit trail. Choose the 1600 where one shared code is acceptable and there is no appetite for battery maintenance; choose the CO-200 where individual credentials and a record of who entered are required.

The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 SmartCode is an electronic Tustin lever with Z-Wave technology, keyed one side, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick - it is built around a home automation hub rather than standalone credential management. The Schlage CO-200 is a commercial Grade 1 heavy duty lock, standalone, with classroom/storeroom function and up to 2,000 users with audit capability. For a commercial storeroom carrying a Grade 1 spec, the CO-200 is the one that answers the specification; the 912TNL belongs on an opening where Z-Wave control is the point.

Both do. The Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is IC/SFIC compatible, and the CO-200 ships less cylinder in several cylinder preps including B for Schlage, Falcon and competitive OEM 7 pin SFIC, plus J for Schlage 6 pin FSIC, L for Schlage and Falcon 6 pin KIL, and P for a Schlage standard conventional cylinder. Order the cylinder prep that matches the core you already stock, since no cylinder is included with the CO-200.

The Marks USA 175RF SFIC is a storeroom clutched lever lockset, Grade 2, small format IC less core, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and an ANSI strike - a key-only lock with no electronics. The Schlage CO-200 is Grade 1 and heavy duty, also 2-3/4 inch backset, and adds electronic credentials with up to 2,000 users and an audit trail of up to 2,000 events. Both hold a storeroom door locked; only the CO-200 tells you who opened it and lets you delete a credential without rekeying.

The Alarm Lock DL5200 is a double-sided electronic cylindrical lock with 100 user capacity and battery operation, for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick - keypads on both faces, so entry is controlled leaving the room as well as entering. The Schlage CO-200 is a keypad reader lock with classroom/storeroom function and up to 2,000 users. Where the requirement is credential control in both directions, the DL5200 is the configuration that provides it; where 2,000 users and audit reporting matter, the CO-200 is.

The Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 entry keyed single cylinder lever lockset in the C800 Series for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the Marks USA 195RAB is a Grade 1 Survivor Series entry clutched lever lockset supplied less core. Both are mechanical entrance/office function locks matching the CO-200 on Grade 1, without the battery, credential enrollment, or programming that the CO-200 brings. Use them where a key is the only credential the opening needs.
