What options do I have for replacing this lock? (commercial)

So my wife's business has a back door with a failing lock and we also have a need to give access to many different people.

We have a digital deadbolt on our house and we love it.  This would work great for this situation as we could change the code when we needed to as well as have different codes for perm employees.

Is it possible to just drop one of these on here, is there some other option or do I just need to replace it with exactly what we have and go with a real estate style key lock box mounted on the wall?

Sorry, they are all sideways, send me your chiropractor bill. ;)

Thanks,
Kevin

Tell anyone you speak with that you are looking for a lock that is a 8" Lock-Body Mortise. Be sure to mention you want the deadbolt option. Also keep in mind depending on which lock you get you may need to purchase a new cylinder (pic) and have it keyed too. Most people forget to order them thinking the old one will work. 

Cost for the ones I am used to working with are more like $650 and up to purchase as a heads up.
