Accentra AU-4781LN-626 12V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does fail secure mean on the Accentra 4781LN electrified lever lock, and what happens if power drops?
Fail secure means the outside lever stays locked when the solenoid is unpowered. Power the 4781LN and the outside lever unlocks; drop power and it locks again, so the door secures on a power loss. Inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. This version has no mechanical key override on the outside, so if you need a key to get in during a power outage, pick a keyed electrified function instead.
2) Is the 4781LN available in 12VDC or 24VDC?
Both. The Augusta 4781LN is ordered as either 12VDC or 24VDC, and each voltage is offered across all eight finish choices. Match the voltage to your access control power supply before ordering, since the solenoid is voltage specific.
3) Will the Yale/Accentra 4781LN fit a 1-3/8 inch door as well as a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The 4700LN chassis adjusts from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so it covers both older interior doors and standard commercial doors. If your door is thicker, from 1-3/4 inch up to 2 inch, that is the 4700 chassis rather than the 4700LN, and the 4700 only comes in satin stainless steel 630.
4) Will the 4781LN latch into the existing strike and prep on my door?
It is built for standard cylindrical prep: 2-3/4 inch backset, 1/2 inch stainless steel latchbolt throw, and a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch beveled front. An ANSI strike, 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch with 1-1/4 inch lip to center, ships with it, so if your frame carries an ANSI strike box you are a drop-in. A T-strike is available to order on the 4700LN for frames prepped that way. Doors bored on a 2-3/8 inch backset will not line up.
5) Can I use the 4781LN on a fire rated door in a stairwell or corridor?
Yes. The 4700LN series is UL-cUL fire listed up to 3 hours for all functions and is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1. The series is also Windstorm certified, though you should check that against your local code. The Augusta lever is ADA compliant for operation.
6) What is the difference between a fail secure electrified cylindrical lock like the 4781LN and a fail safe one?
Fail secure locks the outside lever when power is removed, which is what you want on a storeroom, tenant suite, or exterior door that must stay locked in an outage. Fail safe does the opposite: it unlocks on power loss, which is what stairwell and egress-side openings often require by code. If your spec calls for fail safe, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock we carry, offered in 12VAC/DC, for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch thick.
7) My door is 2 inches thick and I need an electrified Grade 1 lever. What should I use instead of the 4781LN?
The 4700LN chassis tops out at 1-3/4 inch, so it is the wrong part for a 2 inch door. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 electrified cylindrical lever lock is rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors and is Grade 1, in 12VAC/DC. That is the substitution for a thick door on an access control opening.
8) What is the closest electrified cylindrical lever lock to the Accentra 4781LN from another manufacturer?
The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is the nearest peer: it is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lever lock offered in a 12VAC/DC version, in the CL33900 series, with a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Accentra 4781LN Augusta is also Grade 1 and cylindrical, and it is ordered in either 12VDC or 24VDC. The key functional difference is fail mode: the CL33903 is a fail safe lever, while the 4781LN is fail secure with no override, so the lever stays locked when power is removed.
9) The door is 2 inches thick - will the 4781LN fit, or do I need a different lock?
The 4781LN Augusta is from the 4700LN line, which adjusts from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, so a full 2 inch door is outside that range. Among Grade 1 cylindrical peers built for thicker doors, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 electrified lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C1000 Asylum covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Corbin Russwin is the one that keeps the electrified function.
10) Do I need to specify handing for the 4781LN Augusta lever?
No handing to call out. The 4700LN is non-handed and reversible, so one lock covers a left or right hand opening. That makes it easier to stock a single part number across a building.
11) Does the 4781LN come with a cylinder and keys, and can I get it in a 7-pin format?
Fail secure with no override means there is no outside key cylinder on this function. Across the 4700LN keyed functions the standard is a brass 6-pin keyed-random cylinder with two keys; 7-pin is not offered on the series, so a facility standardized on a 7-pin keyway cannot match it here.
12) How does the guardbolt on the 4700LN help security on an access controlled door?
The guardbolt deadlocks the 1/2 inch latchbolt as soon as the door closes, which blocks the shimming or loiding attack a card reader opening is otherwise exposed to. It is standard on every locking function in the 4700LN family, including the electrified 4781LN.
13) Is a cylindrical lever lock like the 4781LN heavy duty enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
The Augusta 4700LN carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the highest cylindrical grade, with a heavy-gauge steel, die-cast, zinc-plated and chromated mechanism. Grade 1 is the level institutional and MRO specs call out for high traffic. If your spec allows Grade 2 on lower traffic doors, the Hager 2500 series and Falcon B series cover that, but neither is a Grade 1 electrified substitute.
14) If I do not need access control on this opening, what mechanical Grade 1 lever should I use instead of the 4781LN?
The 4781LN is an electrified lever that needs 12VDC or 24VDC run to the door. If the opening does not need electric control, mechanical Grade 1 cylindrical levers include the Dexter C1000 Classroom, the Dexter C1000 Classroom Security, the Falcon K101 passage, and the Falcon T101 heavy duty passage. Pick by function: classroom keyed control versus non-keyed passage.
15) Is a keypad lever like the Emtek Classic Keypad or Delaney LP250 a substitute for the 4781LN?
They solve a different problem. The 4781LN is an electrified cylindrical lever wired to 12VDC or 24VDC so an access control system holds it locked or releases it. The Emtek Classic Keypad leverset and the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock, which is Grade 2, are standalone credential locks at the door with no panel wiring. If the specification calls for the opening to be controlled by a card reader or building system, the keypad units do not replace it.
16) I need a matching non-electrified lever on the adjacent doors in the same corridor - what Grade 1 options are there?
For companion openings that only need free passage, Grade 1 cylindrical lever options include the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage/closet vandal resistant lever, which is fire rated and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the Design Hardware X75 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 passage. The 4781LN itself is the electrified Augusta lever and is offered in finishes including 626 satin chrome and 605 bright brass for matching the corridor.
17) What finishes does the Accentra Augusta 4700LN electrified lever come in?
Eight choices: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, plus BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coat. If you are matching existing doors in the building, 626 satin chrome is the usual commercial standard. Note the heavier 4700 chassis for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors is satin stainless 630 only, so a thick door cannot be finish matched to these.
18) Can I order the 4781LN with a flat front instead of the beveled one?
Yes. The 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch beveled front is standard on the 4700LN, and a flat front is available to order. Flat is what you want on a square edge door or where the existing mortise pocket in the door edge is cut flat.
19) Is the Corbin Russwin 585F715 lever an alternative to the 4781LN?
No. The 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever trim for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and the CL3300 cylindrical lock series, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. It is trim, not a complete lock. The 4781LN Augusta is a full electrified cylindrical leverset with the lever, chassis and latch.
