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

No. The CO-200 mortise lock is built for 1-3/4 inch doors only, and that is the single thickness it is listed for. On a 1-3/8 inch leaf you need a different platform. Among battery electronic locksets, the Lockey E985 and E995 keypad lever locks cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma C150 cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches if a mechanical lock will do.

No cylinder ships with it, and that is a line item you have to add. You pick the cylinder prep when you order: B for 7-pin SFIC (Schlage, Falcon, and competitive OEM cores), J for Schlage 6-pin FSIC, L for Schlage or Falcon 6-pin key-in-lever, or P, which is the Schlage standard conventional cylinder. If your building is already keyed on an SFIC system, the B prep drops your existing core straight in.

The outside lever stays locked at all times and is released by a valid credential or by key; the inside lever always allows free egress. Nobody can leave the outside lever in an unlocked state by accident, which is why schools and storerooms spec it. The CO Series also offers office and privacy functions if you need a lock that can be left in passage.

It is a standalone battery lock, no wiring to the opening and no panel. Power is four AA cells, with up to two years of battery life and a low battery status indicator. That makes it a practical retrofit where pulling wire to the door is not on the table.

That is the point of the proximity reader version: it reads the same credential used on the building perimeter, so staff carry one card. The CO Series also supports 3 to 6 digit PINs and magnetic stripe cards on other reader builds, and keypad plus card readers give you dual authentication where you want two factors on a sensitive room.

Grade 1, heavy duty, and rated commercial. As a mortise lock it meets or exceeds ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Grade 1, and the CO Series carries UL 10C for fire door assemblies, UL 294 for access control, UL Canada, FCC Part 15, and ADA. The 70 function also carries ANSI/BHMA A156.25 full outdoor.

The TownSteel FCE-2000 is the nearest match on credential type and function. Like the CO-200, it is a Grade 1 standalone lock in a classroom function that reads RFID cards, and it is rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door thickness the CO-200 is built for. The main difference is form factor: the CO-200 covered here is a mortise lock, while the FCE-2000 is a cylindrical lockset, so the door prep is not interchangeable. If the opening is already prepped for a cylindrical chassis, the FCE-2000 is the substitution to look at; if the door has a mortise pocket, stay with the CO-200.

The CO-200 in the 70 classroom/storeroom function is credential-operated from the outside and does not provide an inside intruder lockdown control. For that requirement, look at the TownSteel FCE-4000, an RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset, or the TownSteel XCE-9000, an electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with keypad. Both are Grade 1 heavy duty; the FCE-4000 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and the XCE-9000 for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Note both are cylindrical, so the mortise pocket the CO-200 uses will not accept them.

The CO-200 is a standalone, battery-operated lock running on four AA cells, programmed at the door rather than run from a panel. For a hardwired opening, the SDC Electra 7200 is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock with dual voltage 12/24VDC, listed for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, which takes its command from the panel. If you want battery power but a keypad instead of cards, the SDC E75 is a battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control for 1-3/4 to 2-1/8 inch doors.

Handing is a required selection when you order: field reversible, RH, LH, RHR, or LHR. The lock itself is listed as field reversible, so a field reversible unit can be set for either hand on site. If you are standardizing a run of doors and want no decisions made at the opening, order the specific hand instead.

Yes. It holds up to 2,000 users with an audit trail of up to 2,000 events, and you can program it manually at the lock or manage it from a PC with Schlage Express software. Updates move to the lock through the Schlage Utility Software mobile app on a compatible Android device using a SUS-A cable. It also supports holidays and time zones for scheduled auto lock and unlock.

Seven finishes are offered: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. Lever styles are Athens, Latitude, Longitude, Rhodes, Sparta, and Tubular, so a building already running Rhodes or Sparta trim on mechanical Schlage locks can keep the same look on the electronic openings.

The CO-100 is keypad programmable only and basic. The CO-200 steps up: card and PIN credentials, up to 2,000 users, an audit trail, computer programming, and management under Schlage Express. If you need to know who opened the door and when, the CO-200 is the one that does it. The CO-200 also shares an offline system with AD-200, CO-220 and CT5000 locks.

If the opening is prepped cylindrical rather than mortise, the TownSteel FCE-2000 is a Grade 1 standalone motorized RFID classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the FCE-4000 adds classroom intruder function. For keypad instead of card, the TownSteel XCE-2000 and XCE-9000 are Grade 1 classroom keypad cylindrical locks covering 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. The CO-200 is the choice where the door is mortise prepped and you want prox credentials matching the perimeter system.

Alarm Lock's Trilogy line is the leaner keypad route. The T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical entrance lock with 100 user codes and SFIC compatibility, and the T3 DL3075 adds audit trail with keypad access. Both are cylindrical and fit 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, so they will not go into a mortise pocket. The CO-200 is what you spec when you need 2,000 users, card credentials, and mortise-grade hardware on the door.

The Alarm Lock T3 DL3075 is the peer to look at: it is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with audit trail and keypad access. The CO-200 also carries audit capability and is Grade 1, with proximity card credentials rather than a keypad, in a mortise body. For a facility standardizing on one audit method across many doors, the deciding factor is usually credential type and door prep rather than the audit feature itself, since both provide it.

No. The CO-200 covered here is built in the classroom/storeroom function, which is not a privacy function. For a privacy opening, the Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock in a privacy/bed/bath function for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in a privacy function. If you want a mechanical privacy lock with no electronics at all, the Cal-Royal CAL20 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty privacy lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

If you only need key control and no electronics, the Marks USA 175RF SFIC is a storeroom clutched lever lockset, small format IC less core, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI strike, at Grade 2. The CO-200 shares the 2-3/4 inch backset and an ANSI strike, and is Grade 1. The trade is what you give up: the CO-200 holds up to 2,000 users with an audit trail and proximity credentials, where the 175RF is a keyed mechanical lock with no user records.

The CO-200 is offered in a B cylinder option, less cylinder, accepting Schlage, Falcon and competitive OEM 7-pin SFIC cores, so it drops into an existing SFIC keying system. Among alternatives, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is IC/SFIC compatible, and the BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with a key override function. Both of those are cylindrical, where the CO-200 here is mortise.

No, they are built for different jobs. The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 is a SmartCode electronic Tustin lever with Z-Wave, keyed one side, for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick, and is designed to run through a Z-Wave home automation hub. The CO-200 is a commercial Grade 1 standalone mortise lock holding up to 2,000 users with an audit trail. On a commercial storeroom carrying institutional traffic, the CO-200 is the class of product to spec.

Both are Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic locks in a classroom function. The XCE-2000 uses a keypad and fits doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch thick in a cylindrical chassis. The CO-200 reads proximity cards, is a mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, is field reversible for handing, and stores up to 2,000 users with an audit trail. Pick on credential and door prep: cards on a mortise door point to the CO-200, codes on a cylindrical prep point to the XCE-2000.

Not a direct one. The Accentra nexTouch NTB613 is a Grade 1 cylindrical keypad lock with pushbutton entry, so credentials are entered by code and the door needs a cylindrical prep. The CO-200 covered here uses a proximity card reader in a mortise body for 1-3/4 inch doors and supports up to 2,000 users with audit capability. They suit the same kind of commercial opening but are not interchangeable at the door prep.

The Lockey 1600 is a heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with an adjustable backset, fitting doors 1-1/8 to 2 inch thick, and the Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for the same door range. Neither takes power. The CO-200 runs on four AA batteries with a stated life of up to two years and a status indicator, and gives you the user records and audit trail a mechanical pushbutton lock cannot.

For a door that never needs to lock, yes. Passage locksets cover that: 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 to 2 inch doors. The CO-200 is a classroom/storeroom function electronic lock built to hold the outside lever locked until a valid proximity credential is presented, which a passage opening does not need.

It is, if you are willing to give up electronic credentials. The Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty cylindrical lock in an entry/office function for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 entry keyed single cylinder lever lockset for the same door range. Both are key-operated only. The CO-200 is also Grade 1 and heavy duty but is battery powered with a proximity reader, which is what you want if the office door has to share the same credential used at the building perimeter.
