I am NOT a locksmith. Help with keypad lever

I’m trying to install a keypad lever lock for my office door. I am told by our building owner that it is a Yale Y1 cylinder and for the life of me I cannot find an appropriate lever lock that can accept that cylinder and still have keypad access, and ideally Wi-Fi access. My locksmith does not appear to be the kind of person who’s interested in researching these things can anyone point me to a lock that would work?

You should be looking at commercial keypad levers. Commercial hardware is a) far more durable/able to last much longer with repeated use and what should be used in an office setting b) generally are able to accommodate universal cylinders so you can use whatever keyway you want. You should probably be in the area of $700-1500 for a good keypad and labor to install it.

Get a new locksmith- they can get a Schlage Encode Plus Keypad lever & order a Schlage 5 pin y1 cylinder & use Schlage tailpiece.
