Kaba Ilco E Plex

Kaba Ilco E-Plex Electronic Pushbutton Locks

Keyless Access for Commercial Doors | Parts and Support Continue | Expert Ordering Help

E-Plex is a family of battery-powered pushbutton locks. Users enter a code, the door opens, and nobody has to issue, track, or collect keys. Lock Depot lists the E-Plex line by series, function, key override, and finish. Tell us the door and the key system you already run and we will match the model. Call 877-365-5625.

Read this before you order: most of the E-Plex line is discontinued, but parts and support continue. dormakaba announced the end of the E-Plex 3000 and 5000 Series, and the E-Plex software, effective December 31, 2025. That covers the 3000 narrow-stile locks and the 5000 family, including the 5200 and 5700 series listed below. dormakaba says warranty, parts, and technical support continue, so a lock already on your door is not stranded. Product pages for the affected models carry a discontinued notice at the top and name the dormakaba E7900 Wireless Lock as the factory successor. If you need an exact discontinued unit, or a cross-reference to the E7900, call and we will look into it. Availability on discontinued units is limited and not guaranteed.

How the E-Plex line breaks down

Our product titles name the series, the door function, and the key override. The series number is the first thing to read.

E-Plex 2000 — pushbutton lock, code entry

The dormakaba announcement names the 3000 and 5000 Series. It does not name the 2000. Call us to confirm the status of a specific 2000 model before you order.

The 2000 series gives exterior access by code and free egress from inside. Our product pages describe it as an ANSI Grade 1, weather resistant, vandal protected lock with a 1 to 5 digit code that you pre-program. Examples: the E2031-XS-LL-626-41 with a Schlage ‘C’ keyway override and the E2032-B-LL-626-41 with a Best core override, both in satin chrome.

E-Plex 5200 — cylindrical lever and exit trim, code entry (discontinued)

The 5200 series was the code-only lock in a heavier package: solid cast housings, an ADA-compliant lever, and up to 3,000 codes per our product pages. The batteries sit behind the interior cover so a battery change is quick, and lock data survives a dead battery. It comes in cylindrical-lever and exit-trim functions. Examples: the E5231XSWL-744-41 cylindrical lever, Schlage ‘C’ keyway, in dark bronze with brass accents and the E5210XKWL-744-41 exit trim lever, Kaba 90 keyway.

E-Plex 5700 — dual credential, PIN and/or proximity card (discontinued)

The 5700 series took a PIN, a prox card, or both, and the lock can be set to require PIN only, card only, or PIN plus card. Our product pages list HID 125 kHz cards in 26 to 84-bit formats. Users: 300 with the LearnLok feature, or 3,000 per door with the optional software. If you are repairing or matching an existing 5700 door, these are the models we list. Examples: the E5731XSWL-626-41 cylindrical lever with a Schlage ‘C’ keyway and the E5710CWL-626-41 exit trim lever with a Corbin core override.

Narrow stile and the 3000 series

The E-Plex 3000 family was the narrow-stile line for aluminum storefront doors, built around an Adams Rite deadlatch or deadbolt. It is on the same discontinued list, for example the E3065BNL-626-41. If you are working on an aluminum door, read our guide first: E-Plex E3065: Keyless Entry on an Aluminum Storefront Door. The narrow stile is the constraint, and the guide covers matching the override cylinder to the building key system.

Pick the key override first

Whether you are replacing a unit or matching an existing door, the override cylinder is the emergency key path, so it should match keys your building already uses. The overrides in our E-Plex titles include Schlage ‘C’ keyway, Best core, Corbin core, Kaba 90 keyway, and Kaba cylinder. A lock ordered with the wrong override still works by code, but your master key will not open it. Read the override in the product title before anything else.

Accessories

The Kaba E-Plex deadlatch-to-deadbolt conversion kit (75262-000-01) converts an installation from a dead latch to a deadbolt. It includes a cam, a template, and instructions. It does not include the E-Plex lock or the Adams Rite lock, so plan on buying those separately.

Frequently asked at the counter:

Do I need keys with an E-Plex? Not for daily use. Users enter a code, or a card on the 5700 series. The key override is there for emergency and locksmith access.

Is E-Plex a Grade 1 lock? Our product pages describe the 2000, 5200, and 5700 series as ANSI Grade 1. Check the product page for the exact model.

Are parts and support still available? dormakaba states warranty, parts, and technical support continue for the discontinued E-Plex lines.

The model I need says discontinued. Now what? Call. We can look into remaining stock on the exact unit, or help you cross-reference to the dormakaba E7900.

What does the conversion kit do? It swaps a dead latch installation for a deadbolt. It does not include the lock itself.
Not sure which E-Plex fits your door? Talk to a Human.
Series, function, override, finish, and a discontinued line all in one part number is a lot to get right. Call 877-365-5625, no phone trees, and we will confirm the model against your door and your key system before you buy. Looking for more from the brand? See our Kaba Ilco page.
