About this item
The Dormakaba E-Plex 2000 is available in both cylindrical and mortise configurations. The E2031BLL is the cylindrical version. The E2066BLL is the mortise version. The difference matters for the door: a cylindrical lock requires a cross-bore and latch bore in the door edge (ANSI A115.2), while a mortise lock requires a rectangular mortise pocket cut into the door's edge (ANSI A115.1). Doors already prepared with a mortise pocket take the E2066. Doors with a standard cylindrical prep take the E2031. Both deliver the same E-Plex 2000 function: 100 user PIN codes, 1,000 audit events, three operation modes, 3 AA battery power, and SFIC key override prep for BEST-compatible 6 or 7 pin IC cores.
The "No Deadbolt" specification means the mortise body contains a deadlatch only, no deadbolt. The E2067BLL is the deadbolt version of the same lock. For doors that already have a separate keyed deadbolt, or for any opening where only latch control is needed from the electronic access system, the E2066 provides electronic latch control without adding a deadbolt mechanism to the door prep. For all Dormakaba electronic access control hardware, browse our keypad and prox locks. For all commercial mortise locks, view our mortise locks catalog.
E-Plex 2000 Mortise Keypad Operation
The E2066BLL operates in three modes that can be set from the keypad without any software. PIN access mode is the standard operating state: enter a valid PIN code, the latch retracts electronically, the door opens. After the programmed time cycle, the latch re-engages. Passage mode disables PIN control and allows the outside lever to operate the latch freely, used during open hours or high-traffic periods. Lockout mode denies all outside access regardless of valid PIN codes, used for after-hours security events. Switching between modes is done at the keypad using the manager code.
The audit trail stores the 1,000 most recent access events with date and time stamps. Reading the audit trail requires the optional M-Unit Kit (EP-MU-COM-001) and E-Plex software, both available separately.

E2066BLL vs. E2067BLL: No Deadbolt vs. With Deadbolt
The E2066BLL (this product) is the mortise body without a deadbolt. The E2067BLL is the same lock with a deadbolt added. Both are E-Plex 2000, both use the same SFIC prep and keypad, and both carry Grade 1 certification. The deadbolt on the E2067 provides physical bolt security in addition to latch control, appropriate for doors where the mortise lock is the only security hardware. The E2066 is the correct specification when a separate keyed deadbolt already handles bolt security on the door, or when the opening requires only electronic latch retraction with no deadbolt operation.
E2066BLL vs. E2031BLL: Mortise vs. Cylindrical
The E2066BLL requires a full mortise door prep (rectangular pocket, approximately 1" x 5-7/8" x 15/16" deep, ANSI A115.1). The E2031BLL requires a cylindrical door prep (2-1/8" cross-bore, ANSI A115.2). Both accept the same SFIC core, run the same three operation modes, store 100 codes, and use the same 3 AA batteries. Specify based on which door prep already exists or which the specification calls for on new construction.
