The Schlage Electronics AD-400 series networked wireless electronic exit trim assembly with satin chrome finish is battery powered and includes a Sparta-style lever handle primed for a Best SFIC core and a magnetic stripe reader that work with a rim style, concealed vertical cable, or concealed vertical rod exit device (sold separately) to create a credential-verifying door latching system for storeroom and classroom use. When used in conjunction with a compatible exit device, the assembly communicates wirelessly 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 magnetic stripe reader scans cards (sold separately) as they are swiped through the reader to confirm security credentials and allow access. As security needs change, the reader module can be replaced with a different AD-series reader that better suits access control needs. The exit device and interior lockset are not included.

The Sparta-style lever handle is long, smooth, and curved, is made of steel, and can be installed as right or left handed. The lever is designed to accept a Best small format interchangeable core (SFIC) to enable mechanical override of the electronic system. Three colored LED lights and an audio signal can be programmed to indicate when credentials are validated or denied or when batteries are running low. The 8 AA battery power source provides extended battery life when compared to locksets that use 4 AA batteries. The assembly is compatible with most access control systems for integration into an existing security network. A low current request-to-exit switch (sold separately) is required. The Schlage PID400-TD2 panel interface board (sold separately) is required in order to connect up to two AD-400 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.
