LX100 User’s Guide Introduction The LX100 is a keyless proximity door lock that fits most standard doors. Simply replace your existing cylindrical style door handle with the LX100 for an economical access control system for your business or home. The locks provide stand alone operation and do not require the use of a computer or any external device for programming. They are powered by standard alkaline batteries eliminating the need for wiring.
Lathem Security Solutions Using the LX100 When a badge or key fob is placed over the reader window of the LX100, it instantly reads its unique encoded ID number and verifies that it has been authorized to open the door. The LX100 comes with five preprogrammed badges which can be used immediately following installation with no additional setup required.
LX100 User’s Guide Good Badge If the badge or key fob has been programmed into to the lock, the LX100 flashes a blue light, sounds a positive tone, and engages the door handle to allow access. The default unlock window to open the door is 5 seconds, but this can be customized for each lock to 3 or 10 seconds (see Customizing Unlock Window).
Lathem Security Solutions Badges and Key Fobs The LX100 supports the use of Lathem proximity ID badges (included with lock) or optional Lathem proximity key fobs that users can simply attach to their key chains. The use of badges or key fobs is an individual user preference, and they can be used interchangeably on any lock.
LX100 User’s Guide User Badges A User badge or key fob allows access through the door. User badges or key fobs are added by a Master badge. There can be up to 59 User badges assigned to each Master card. The LX100 comes with four (4) preprogrammed User badges. These badges do not have the global key sticker like the Master badge. These User badges can begin accessing the lock immediately with no additional programming needed.
Lathem Security Solutions Backup Keys The keys enclosed with your LX100 are for backup purposes in the event of badge loss or battery failure only. Keep your keys in a protected and easy-to-remember location OUTSIDE of the room the lock is on. Lathem does not manufacture or stock extra keys. You are responsible for their safekeeping. 1. The keyhole cover is attached using a high-powered magnet. Your backup keys also have a smaller magnet embedded on one side to assist in removing the keyhole cover.

LX100 User’s Guide “Meeting Mode” Setting (Lock Bypass) Warning: Meeting Mode disables the lock and bypasses the use of badges for authorization. When in this mode, the lock will function only as a door handle. These badges will serve as “on/off switches” if a room is being used for a long meeting, etc. 1. The badge(s) you assign to Meeting Mode will serve this function solely and cannot be used as a User badge.

Lathem Security Solutions Using Multiple Locks If you have purchased multiple LX100s, you can configure and change the badge accessibility to each of your locks as you prefer. Remember that each lock is stand alone which means you must program them individually. However, this also means you have greater flexibility to customize access to rooms as employees or work areas change.
LX100 User’s Guide Maintaining the Lock The Lathem LX100 is designed for years of trouble-free operation. The only routine maintenance typically required is the changing of batteries and occasional cleaning. You should routinely check your batteries every few months depending on the usage of door. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: When the batteries begin to run low, you will see the Red light flash and a beep after badges are used. You may also notice that the volume of the beeps decreases.
Lathem Security Solutions Installing the Lock PLEASE NOTE: We have used a Right hand LX100 for purposes of demonstration in this User Guide. 1. Affix the gaskets to the Exterior handle and battery pack. Use the 4 “dimple” guides in each corner and insert them in corresponding holes, peel away sticker and attach. 2. Install connecting pillars to Exterior handle with pillar wrench included as shown below.
LX100 User’s Guide 3. Insert axle (short axle for thinner doors, longer axle for thicker doors included) into center turning hub. Make sure the “dot” is up on the turning hub and holes are vertical on axle. 4. Insert securing pin downward thru top of turning hole, thru axle until pin is completely thru. 5. Bend “legs” of pin outward around turning hole to secure. You may require pliers to do this.

To expand latch for larger door hole, hold front of latch with one hand and pull on center axle hub. Make sure that latch slope faces the same direction the door closes. Secure with 2 small latch screws provided. 7. Place Exterior handle on door: Guide wire thru door hole over top of latch assembly.

Lathem Security Solutions 11. Make sure Exterior handle and battery pack are straight as you tighten connector screws. 12. Connect wire to circuit board underneath the bottom battery on the battery pack. Observe how pins align with plastic connector. 13. Push back any excess wire thru the rectangular opening.
LX100 User’s Guide 14. Install 4 new AA (1.5 volt) alkaline batteries (not included) into battery pack on Interior handle. Make sure they are installed in the correct direction and are firmly seated in position. You will hear a buzz, indicating the lock is energized. 15. Place Interior handle cover over battery pack and secure with 2 screws on top and bottom. Do not over-tighten the Interior handle! Doing so may affect the performance of the lock.
Lathem Security Solutions Preparing a New Door Verify that your new door is 1 3/8” – 2” thick. 1. Use the enclosed “Door Cutting Template” to mark your drill holes. Note: Position template at correct height (suggested: 38” or 97 mm from floor). Mark center for lock hole. 2. Drill 2 1/8” hole through door. Do this by drilling once from each side to center of door to avoid damaging door. 3. Drill 1 1/8” latch hole being sure to align the center of the latch hole with the center of the main door hole.
LX100 User’s Guide Latch Installation Use enclosed “Strike Plate Cutting Template” to cut and install latch in door as indicated below. 1. Insert latch into 1 1/8” latch hole in “width” of door. Latch is expandable, depending on the size of your door hole, to 2 ¾”. To expand latch, hold front of latch with one hand and pull on center axle hub. 2.

Lathem Security Solutions Strike Plate & Dust Boot Installation 1. If you are installing on an existing door jamb, you may be able to use your existing strike. However, it is recommended that you use the strike included. 2. On a new door, use the “Strike Plate Cutting Template” to mark and install the strike plate. Center the metal strike plate over the dust boot with the curved edge facing the interior of the room. The goal is to have the metal strike plate flush with your door jamb. 3.
