BEST 45HZ7DV14KP626 45HZ EZ Series Electronic Keypad Mortise Lock is a commercial-grade standalone, battery-powered access-control mortise lock that combines keypad PIN entry with a mechanical key override. This configuration has a 7-pin BEST interchangeable-core housing, DV latch-with-key function, #14 curved-return lever, KP electronic keypad and durable 626 / US26D Satin Chrome finish.

Designed for offices, schools, healthcare facilities and other managed commercial entrances, the 45HZ EZ Series offers convenient keypad-based access without a networked access-control system. User programming is performed at the keypad. The keypad-equipped exterior lever is controlled by an internal motor-driven locking mechanism; an authorized code permits access, and the keyed function provides a separate mechanical override.

Technical Specifications

Commercial Applications

Use for suitable commercial and institutional openings such as offices, employee entrances, administrative areas, managed classrooms and service areas requiring self-contained keypad access with a mechanical key-override option.

Ordering & Installation

Confirm handing, mortise preparation, door thickness, strike configuration, keying/core requirements, code-management policy and intended application before purchase. The abbreviated manufacturer configuration shown here does not specify a door hand. A matching BEST 7-pin interchangeable core may be selected separately. This lock is a standalone keypad model, not a Wi-Q wireless-networked lock.

Fire door / life safety: BEST documents product-series UL listings for certain applications, but suitability for a particular fire-rated opening depends on the complete door assembly, hardware configuration and installation. Confirm applicable manufacturer listings, accessibility and egress requirements, local codes and approved installation instructions.

Commercial Door Worx supplies professional BEST commercial locks, electronic access-control hardware, replacement products and door-security equipment for contractors, installers, facilities teams and building owners.

SKUs and Variant Choices

The BEST EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock offers push-button credential access and the mechanical locking configuration specified in the full factory code. The DV keyed-latch and TV keyed-deadbolt formats are different door hardware functions; select the proper one for the lock schedule instead of relying only on the external lever design.

Door and Access-Control Checklist

1. Confirm DV latch vs TV deadbolt from the selected factory model code and verify that the function matches the door's required use.
2. Choose the actual #14, #15 or #16 lever style and 613/626 architectural finish as listed, not just a visually similar lock.
3. Check the existing mortise pocket, cylinder trim, handing, door thickness, strike and required cutouts before specifying a retrofit.
4. Confirm BEST 7-pin small-format core/keyway, mechanical key override and whether the matching removable core is included.
5. Program PIN users according to the applicable BEST EZ installation manual and test mechanical and electronic operation.

The product provides the selected keypad mortise lock configuration. External alarm panels, optional credentials, facility keying and additional installation hardware may require separate ordering.

Ordering Notes for Commercial Door Worx Customers

Verify the required mechanical function, available door cutouts, core/keyway and any electrical wiring or enrollment instructions against the manufacturer's current documents before installation. Confirm exactly which operating cores, control keys, accessories and service software are supplied with the chosen variant. The factory part number is more specific than the broad lock series name; order the exact listed SKU.
