date up to a maximum of 2000 locks. Each LockID is
unique to each lock, ensuring the validity of data and
that each lock is matched to the correct data when pro-
grammed.

"Administrative Users" button simplifies the organization
of those special Users possessing a greater range of
programming abilities. All Users designated as
"Administrative Users" will be identical for all locks
within the Account.

2000 locks of the same lock type. Note: All models
can be cloned into all other models, with the following
exceptions: DL2800 and DL3000 locks can only clone
each other, and the DL3500 can only clone itself.
