Cal-Royal CR9000 Digital Touch Screen Door Lock

The Cal-Royal CR9000 is a commercial-grade digital touchscreen keypad door lock with clutch technology, designed for small business storefronts, professional offices, salons, fitness studios, dental and medical clinics, short-term rental properties, multi-unit residential buildings, storage facilities, and back-of-house commercial doors where keyless code-based entry replaces traditional keys without requiring the cost or complexity of an enterprise access control system. Stand-alone touch screen wakes on touch, accepts up to 50 user PIN codes plus 2 one-time use codes, and reverts to sleep mode after each operation. Master PIN code (6 digits) handles all programming, lock-out mode, and factory reset. Each user PIN code is 4 to 6 digits programmable. Mechanical key cylinder overrides the touchscreen for emergency entry or low-battery situations, with the standard 6-pin "Schlage C" keyway accepting two brass keys per lock. Free-wheeling lever mechanism: when the outside lever is locked, it rotates freely up and down while remaining securely locked, preventing pry attacks that target the spindle on rigid-lever locks. Clutch technology decouples the lever from the latch when no valid code is entered, prolonging lock life by eliminating spindle stress. Weather resistant from -30°F to 150°F at 85% relative humidity, suitable for exterior doors, gates, and garage entries in addition to interior commercial use. Powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries with a low-battery indicator. 

About Cal-Royal CR9000 Series and Grade 2 Specification

Cal-Royal Products is a U.S. commercial hardware manufacturer (Los Angeles, in business since 1986), supplying value-engineered architectural hardware that meets the same ANSI/BHMA standards as Schlage, Yale, Sargent, and Falcon at a meaningfully lower price point. Within Cal-Royal's electronic lock lineup, the CR9000 Series is the touchscreen keypad tier without RFID, sitting between the mechanical pushbutton CRCODE200 family (entry tier, no electronic features) and the CR6000/AT6000/SPA6000 RFID-enabled touchscreen tier (premium, supports proximity card readers). ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 is the moderate-frequency commercial cycle and abuse rating: 800,000+ operating cycles, vertical/horizontal load resistance, and impact resistance suitable for offices, retail, and professional service spaces. For higher-frequency institutional applications (schools, hospitals, multi-tenant office buildings) where Grade 1 is specified, see the heavier-duty Cal-Royal CR3000 keypad family. For the broader Cal-Royal electronic lock category see Cal-Royal Keypad/Proximity Locks within Electronic Keypad/Proximity Lock under Keypad/Prox Locks.

• DOV9000 Dover Design (more transitional styling, suits older office buildings and retail conversions)

• MAN9000 Manhattan Design (modern flat-bar lever, suits contemporary commercial interiors)

• ROC9000 Rochester Design (classic round-knob aesthetic, suits residential conversion and traditional architectural styles)

Five BHMA-coded finish options across all four trim designs: US26D Satin Chrome (most-specified commercial finish), US26 Polished Chrome (mirror finish), US3 Polished Brass, US4 Satin Brass, and US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze. The IC small-format core option is available only with US26D and US10B finishes.

When to Specify the CR9000 vs Other Cal-Royal Electronic Locks

Three buyer scenarios point specifically to the CR9000:

• Small business and professional office retrofits (salons, gyms, clinics, dental offices, attorney offices, accounting firms) where the owner wants employee code-based entry without managing physical keys or paying for cloud-based access systems.

• Short-term rental and property management where each guest gets a unique PIN that's deactivated after checkout (the 2 one-time codes plus 50 user codes accommodate this perfectly).

• Back-of-house commercial doors (supply rooms, server rooms, employee-only areas, storage units) where staff turnover requires periodic code changes without rekeying the building.

If the application requires RFID proximity card or key fob support in addition to keypad codes, see the Cal-Royal CR6000 (touchscreen + RFID), Cal-Royal AT6000, Cal-Royal SPA6000, or the Cal-Royal ICCR6000 (touchscreen + RFID + SFIC core compatibility). For RFID accessories see Cal-Royal CRPRFID Proximity Card and Cal-Royal RFID-KF Key Fob. If the application is a heavier-duty institutional setting requiring Grade 1 cycle life (schools, hospitals, multi-tenant office buildings, government), step up to the Cal-Royal CR3000, Cal-Royal CR3030, or Cal-Royal ICCR3000 heavy-duty keypad locks.
