Here in Cleveland, property and business owners need a weatherproof digital keypad lock that can withstand anything the forecast has in store. And, in your search, you might have come across the DL2700WP Trilogy Lock by Alarm Lock. But, is it worth the price tag?
At Advanced Lock and Key, we want to point our customers in the direction of the best that the market has to offer. So, let’s take a critical look at this model to help you decide whether it’s right for your warehouse, rental property, or workplace.
This digital keypad by Alarm Lock is one of the most popular cylindrical locks on the market. It has an ANSI Grade 1, making it ideal for high-traffic, high-security areas such as commercial settings, apartment buildings, public facilities, storage closets, customer restrooms and more. In terms of weather resistance, the DL2700WP can withstand a beating! It features an operating temperature of up to 151°F and negative 31°F (66°C to negative 35°C), which is beyond what we experience in Cleveland even on our hottest summer or coldest winter days. It also makes this lock appropriate for refrigerated warehouses. And it’s water-sealed, making it a good option for exterior doors that are exposed to the elements.
No, this model does not come with smart features such as remote access, door opening tracking, or an alarm system. Instead, it functions as a durable, electronic keypad lock that can be programmed from the device itself. This makes installation and upkeep easier than a lock that needs to be synced with an existing smart system.
As a business owner, you always have your mind on building codes. This lock has you covered on that front.
The DL2700WP is a levered lock which is ADA compliant. And, it is fire rated up to three hours, although it is not intended for installation on a panic device.
Importantly, the interior lever is always unlocked to ensure free egress.

This weatherproof digital keypad lock is a heavy-duty Grade 1 lock, making it very durable and long-lasting. That makes it ideal for commercial settings like warehouses, healthcare facilities, rental properties, and retail sites.
But, when it comes to a residential front entry door, we wouldn’t recommend it. There are many digital keypad locks that are better suited to the style and budget of a residential front door.
One thing that you are probably looking for in a digital keypad is flexibility in passcode settings. And, the DL2700WP is easily programmed to your needs. This lock offers multi-level coding capabilities, meaning that you can program different codes for master access, managers, employees, and even one-time service codes. In fact, this weatherproof digital keypad lock can be programmed for up to 100 different user codes, giving you more control over who enters the building than many other models. And, each code is between 3 to 5 digits, making it more user-friendly than locks that require complicated, easily-forgotten codes.
This lock also features the capability of blocking codes in the case that you need to revoke access for an individual.
As a Cleveland resident, you know that long battery life is important, as our cold temperatures can make batteries expire faster. Luckily, the DL2700WP can offer long-lasting battery life throughout the year. It requires 5 AA batteries that last up to 120,000 cycles.
This model also comes with a physical key override in the event that the batteries run out.
The DL2700WP isn’t the only weatherproof digital keypad lock on the market, but in terms of what it can offer, we think it’s a good lock for the price (which typically goes for somewhere between $450 and $500 depending on the retailer).
In comparison, you can purchase something a bit cheaper, such as the Lockey 1150 Heavy-Duty Keypad Lock. But that version is not digital and will only accept one passcode at a time. There are also some models of digital keypad lever locks that go for $200 to $300, but they typically have a Grade 2 or lower, or aren’t weatherproof up to the standards of the DL2700WP.
The manufacturer, Alarm Lock, also offers a few more expensive models in their catalog for commercial settings that need more features. If your business needs a card reader, a digital lock that will be affixed to a panic door, or remote access to the lock, there is a range of advanced models that may be better suited for your needs.
This weatherproof digital keypad lock will require a door thickness of 1 ⅝ inches to 1 ⅞ inches. As a heavy-duty lock, it’s recommended that you rely on a professional locksmith for installation. We should be able to get your new lock installed and ready for use within an hour.
