These are stand-alone, battery operated locks . (The Kaba Mas locks are unique and use a self-generating system and do not need batteries). If the batteries fail, there is a key bypass just in case. Batteries generally last about 2 years. Your combination can be set easily by you at any time, right on the lock. These locks are real labor and money savers compared to the systems that aren't stand-alone. Consider the following: using a stand-alone means less labor because there is no wiring, no drilling (except a small amount of door modification), no mortising out for an electric strike on the frame and no need to purchase anything else. Some models like the Trilogy can even be hard wired in, which allows you to use the keypad of the unit on the outside and at the same time buzz someone in from a remote location from the inside! These locks require a 2 1/8 inch main hole and in addition also require 3 or 4 smaller holes. The door should be 1 3/4 inches in thickness. The Trilogy series (not the mortise) can me used on thinner 1 3/8th inch doors with special adaptor plates. They are an option on the bottom of the Trilogy page. Handing is usually changeable.

MOST OF THESE LOCKS NORMALLY COME WITH THE FOLLOWING FUNCTION: Always locked on the outside and always unlocked from the inside. When the door closes it also locks. The less expensive sets for under $200 lock on both sides or open on both sides. This is the main reason they are not the correct locks for fire exit doors.
