Alarm Lock Chrome Door Lock PDL1300/26D1 – 2000 Users, Audit Trail

Description

Product Overview

The Alarm Lock PDL1300/26D1 is a high‑performance electronic door lock designed specifically for retail and commercial applications where security, reliability, and ease of use are paramount. Constructed from a solid chrome‑finished housing, the lock presents a modern aesthetic that complements contemporary storefronts while resisting corrosion and wear in high‑traffic environments. The lock integrates a 12‑button keypad, a built‑in proximity reader, and optional wireless app control, providing multiple avenues for user authentication. Power is supplied by two long‑life lithium 3V batteries, delivering up to 65,000 cycles and featuring a low‑battery alert to prevent unexpected lockouts. The device supports up to 2,000 unique user credentials, whether they are HID Prox cards, fobs, or 4‑ to 6‑digit PIN codes, and maintains a comprehensive audit trail of up to 40,000 events, each time‑ and date‑stamped for precise record‑keeping. Dimensions of 8 × 3 × 2 inches and a weight of 8 lb make the unit compact enough for most standard mortise installations while still offering the robustness required for high‑security settings. The lock’s rectangular shape and sleek chrome finish not only enhance visual appeal but also simplify cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the product remains functional and attractive over its service life.

Usage

Designed for retail stores, warehouses, and other commercial facilities, the PDL1300/26D1 excels in environments where controlled access and detailed activity logging are essential. Store managers can program the lock to grant or revoke access for employees, contractors, and temporary staff, tailoring permissions to specific shifts or roles. The proximity reader enables rapid, hands‑free entry for users carrying authorized cards or fobs, reducing bottlenecks at high‑traffic entry points. Meanwhile, the keypad provides a reliable fallback for situations where cards may be misplaced or the app is unavailable. The lock’s scheduling capabilities allow automatic locking and unlocking based on predefined time tables, supporting after‑hours security protocols or limited‑time promotions. Because the unit is battery‑operated, installation is straightforward—no wiring or conduit is required—making it ideal for retrofitting older doors or deploying in locations where electrical work would be costly or disruptive. The audit trail feature is particularly valuable for loss prevention teams, enabling them to review who accessed a door and when, thereby facilitating investigations and improving overall store security.
