The Schlage Electronics AD-300 series networked hardwired electronic cylindrical lockset with satin chrome finish and Athens-style lever handle provides a secure door latching system for storeroom and classroom use, includes a keypad to verify access credentials, and contains a Schlage cylinder keyway. The lockset assembly communicates with the system in real time to implement modifications to credentials, trigger a central lockdown, or provide access to up-to-the minute audit data. The two included keys and the Schlage 6-pin full cylinder keyway in the base of the lever handle enable mechanical override of the electronic system. The 12-button keypad requires a code to unlock the door and has a blue LED backlight to provide visibility in low-light environments. As security needs change, the reader module can be replaced with a different AD-series reader that better suits access control needs. The cylindrical lock installs more easily than a mortise lockset.

The smooth, curved Athens-style lever handle is made of pressure-cast zinc and can be installed as right or left handed. Three colored LED lights and an audio signal can be programmed to indicate when credentials are validated or denied. The inside handle does not lock, allowing users to exit any time. The assembly is compatible with most access control systems for integration into an existing security network. The Schlage PIB300-2D panel interface board (sold separately) is required in order to connect up to two AD-300 lockset assemblies to the access control panel or reader interface board.

*H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right not including the lever handle; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back including the lever handle.

Electronic door locking systems use electric current to control and secure access. Entry is regulated with a door access device such as a keypad or a reader that limits entry to authorized users. Some systems can designate user access for specific hours or days and may include a keyway for mechanical override. Common electronic locking mechanisms include electromagnetic locks and electric strikes. These systems are hardwired or battery powered, which is suitable when electrical wiring is not readily available. Locks are available in cylindrical and mortise styles. A cylindrical lock requires two bored perpendicular holes in the door for installation: one in the door face and a crossbore hole in the door edge. A mortise lock fits into a pocket recess in the door edge.
