Sure-Loc DK201-TKD FBL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I still get in with a key if the batteries die on a Sure-Loc keypad deadbolt?
It's key operable, so there's a real cylinder alongside the touchscreen and you can key in when the batteries are flat. The lock also gives a warning light and sound before the four AA batteries run out, and there is no hard wiring, so a battery swap is the only service it needs.
2) Can a Sure-Loc electronic deadbolt be keyed into an existing master key system?
Yes. The DK201-TKD has master and construction keyed capability, so a property manager can bring it onto the same master system as the rest of the building and use a construction key while the job is still open. It's a keyed lock with a working cylinder, not keypad only.
3) How many tenant codes can I program into a Sure-Loc touchscreen deadbolt?
Up to ten entry codes, each four to six digits. There's also a one-time use code for a contractor or showing, and Vacation Mode to temporarily disable every user code at once without deleting them. That combination is what makes it workable for a short-term rental or a unit with rotating access, but ten codes is the ceiling, so a building needing per-tenant codes at scale wants a managed multihousing platform like the Dormakaba Nova-D instead.
4) Is the Sure-Loc keypad deadbolt rated for a commercial opening?
No, and this is the one to get right. The DK201-TKD meets ANSI Grade 2 standards but it is a residential-duty lock. For a commercial entry, an office suite, or an institutional door, look at a Grade 1 deadbolt such as the Design Hardware D1 Series or the Corbin Russwin DL3011. If you need an electronic deadbolt on a commercial opening, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with electronic lock override.
5) Can the Sure-Loc keypad deadbolt replace an existing deadbolt without redrilling the door?
It's a tubular deadbolt sized for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, so if you're pulling out a standard bored tubular deadbolt it drops into the same prep. What it will not do is retrofit a mortise deadbolt case or a surface-mounted unit; for those, a mortise-style electronic like the Codelocks CL2210 is the right direction.
6) What is the closest keypad deadbolt alternative to the Sure-Loc DK201-TKD touchscreen deadbolt?
The Delaney KP400 is the nearest electronic deadbolt equivalent. Like the Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt, it is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt, and the KP400 adds a programmable remote to the keypad. Both are code-entry deadbolts sized for residential entry doors, so if you want code access without pulling a new keyway into the door, the KP400 is the direct cross-brand swap.
7) What should I use instead of a Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt on a commercial opening that needs a Grade 1 deadbolt?
Step to a Grade 1 mechanical deadbolt. The Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder is a Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt fitting doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches thick. The Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt meets ANSI Grade 2 and is a residential-rated unit, so on a spec calling for Grade 1 you want one of the Grade 1 bolts and a separate access method.
8) What electronic deadbolt should I use for a multifamily property that needs credential-based access rather than keypad codes?
Look at the RFID units. The Dormakaba Nova-D is an RFID multihousing smart electronic deadbolt in the Nova Series, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. Those read a card or phone credential, where the Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt is a keypad reader with up to ten programmable entry codes of four to six digits.
9) Can I use a Codelocks CL2200 in place of a Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt?
Only if the door will take a surface-mounted lock. The Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in the CL2000 Series, meaning it mounts on the face of the door rather than into a bored hole. The Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt is a tubular deadbolt that goes through a standard bore. If the door is already bored for a tubular deadbolt, the CL2200 is a different prep entirely; the Codelocks CL2210 electronic mortise deadbolt needs a mortise pocket for the same reason.
10) Will a Sure-Loc keypad deadbolt hold up outdoors in winter?
Its rated operating range is -31 F to 150 F, which covers a northern exterior entry door and a south-facing door that bakes in summer sun. The body is brass. Below that range the electronics are outside spec, and a purely mechanical deadbolt is the safer call.
11) Does the Sure-Loc electronic deadbolt lock itself behind you?
Auto locking is an option you can turn on, not a fixed behavior, so you can run it either way depending on the tenant. When it isn't on, a single touch of the screen throws the bolt on the way out. Handy detail for rentals: leave auto lock enabled and the door secures itself even when someone walks out with their hands full.
12) What's the difference between a keypad deadbolt and a standard key-only deadbolt for a rental unit?
A key-only deadbolt like the Arrow DBX61 or the Dexter DB2000 means rekeying or handing out keys every turnover. The Sure-Loc DK201-TKD keeps a cylinder for key entry but adds up to ten programmable codes plus a one-time use code, so you change access by deleting a code instead of pulling the lock. The tradeoff is batteries and a residential duty rating; if the door just needs to lock and never changes hands, the mechanical deadbolt is less to maintain.
13) What other keypad deadbolts can I compare against the Sure-Loc DK201-TKD?
The closest cross-brand equivalent is the Delaney KP400, a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt that adds a programmable remote. If the door is a surface application rather than a bored prep, the Codelocks CL2200 is a surface-mounted electronic deadbolt and the CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt. The Sure-Loc is the tubular, bored-prep touchscreen option of that group.
14) Does the Sure-Loc touchscreen deadbolt need to be set for a left or right hand door?
Handing isn't a thing you order; the deadbolt sets its own bolt direction during setup, and Sure-Loc publishes a short video on running that step. Same part number works either hand, which is why you can stock one SKU for a whole building.
15) Which deadbolt takes a thicker door than the Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt?
The Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt fits doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. For a thicker leaf, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 cylindrical deadlock covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors in a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock. That is a keyed deadlock with a cylinder outside and blank plate inside, so it is a mechanical solution for a heavy door rather than a code-entry one.
16) Is there a simpler key-only deadbolt equivalent to the Sure-Loc DK201-TKD?
Yes, if you do not need code entry. The Arrow DBX61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn function, and the Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard. Both match the Grade 2 rating of the Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt and use a key outside with a thumbturn inside, with no batteries or programming to maintain.
17) Is the DynaLock 1300 an alternative to the Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt for an access controlled door?
They solve access differently. The DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt, a bolt released by the access control system with no reader of its own, so it needs a controller, credential reader and power supply behind it. The Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt is standalone, running on four AA batteries with the keypad and code memory in the lock itself and no hard wiring required.
18) What deadbolt should I specify if the interior side must be keyed rather than a thumbturn or keypad?
Go to a double cylinder deadbolt. The Dexter DB2000 double cylinder is Grade 2 and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, and the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway over the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range. The Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt operates from codes on the outside with key override, so where the interior must not be operable without a key, one of the double cylinder bolts is the right part. Confirm double cylinder is permitted on that egress door.
19) Which deadbolt matches the Sure-Loc keypad deadbolt for master keying a small building?
The Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt has master and construction keyed capability, so it can sit in an existing key system alongside mechanical bolts. On the mechanical side, the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Those let a locksmith load the building's own cores into the doors that do not need code entry.
20) Does a Baldwin Reserve deadbolt spacer work as a substitute for a Sure-Loc keypad deadbolt?
No. The Baldwin Reserve 8BR0618001 is a deadbolt spacer, a trim component for a double cylinder deadbolt rather than a lock in its own right. The Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt is a complete tubular deadbolt with a touchscreen keypad. The same caution applies to the BEST 8T, which is a T Series tubular deadbolt tube component, and the Arrow 460 mortise lock strike, which is the strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions.
21) I need a deadbolt with an easy-grip thumbturn for accessibility instead of a keypad. What is comparable?
The Cal-Royal LSD is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn, fitting doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt uses single touch locking on a touchscreen rather than a turn piece, so where the requirement is a thumbturn a user can operate with a closed fist, the LSD is the part to look at.
22) For a classroom or institutional door, what deadbolt is used instead of a residential keypad deadbolt?
The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset, and the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 medium duty classroom function version with single cylinder operation. The Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and 6-pin cylinder for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt is a residential unit, so for classroom function on an institutional opening these are the parts to price.
23) What finishes does the Sure-Loc touch screen deadbolt come in?
Three: Satin Nickel (15), Flat Black (FBL), and Satin Brass (SB). If you're matching existing levers and hinges across a set of units, those are the choices, and there's no custom option beyond them, so pick the one closest to the rest of the trim on the door.
24) What is a comparable contemporary square deadbolt if I want the touchscreen look without electronics?
The Bravura 310SC Elite is a Grade 2 contemporary square deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn function, and the Brinks Mendocino E2402 is a contemporary square single cylinder deadbolt with a 4 way adjustable backset. Both carry the flat square trim that reads with a touchscreen face, and the Bravura matches the Grade 2 rating of the Sure-Loc touch screen keypad deadbolt.
