Accentra VIR-8808FL-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Accentra 8808FL classroom mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The 8808FL is built for door thicknesses from 1-3/4 inches up to 3-1/4 inches, so a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door is at the low end of its range and it will also handle thick or clad doors most mortise locks won't. Backset is 2-3/4 inches, the standard commercial mortise backset.
2) Do I have to order the Accentra 8808FL handed for a left or right hand door?
No. Handing is field adjustable on the 8808FL lock body, so one part covers left and right hand openings. That makes it practical to stock a single lock for a building with mixed door swings instead of splitting inventory by hand.
3) What does classroom function mean on the Accentra 8808 mortise lock, and how does it operate?
Classroom function means the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key from the outside only. There is no inside button or turn, so a student cannot lock the teacher out or lock themselves in. The inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. It is a single cylinder, keyed lock.
4) Can I use the Accentra 8808FL on a fire rated classroom door?
Yes. The 8800 Series mortise lock is UL/cUL listed for 3-hour fire rated doors, which covers the openings you typically find on classroom corridors and stair enclosures.
5) Should I order the 8808FL with rose trim or the CN escutcheon?
Both trims are offered with the Virginia lever in 626 satin chrome. Pick the CN escutcheon where you want the larger vandal resistant plate covering the lock prep, and note the 8800FL with CN escutcheon is what meets ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Security Grade 1; the rose version is the cleaner, smaller look for offices and lower abuse areas. Both carry Operational Grade 1.
6) Do I get a cylinder with the Accentra 8808FL, or do I key it myself?
That is an order decision. One configuration ships with a conventional cylinder in the PARA-E1R keyway; the other is less cylinder, which is what you want if you are keying the building into an existing master system and supplying your own mortise cylinder. Locksmiths standardizing a campus usually take less cylinder.
7) Will the 8808FL latch into the strike already in my frame?
The lock uses a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw off a 2-3/4 inch backset, plus a reinforced stainless steel deadbolt. If the existing frame is prepped to the standard ANSI mortise strike and the door already carries a 2-3/4 inch backset mortise pocket, it drops in. Check that the frame cutout accepts the deadbolt as well as the latch, since a latch-only prep will need the strike opened up.
8) We need a lock that can be secured from inside the classroom during a lockdown. Does the 8808FL do that?
No. Classroom function on the 8808FL is keyed from the outside only, so a teacher has to step into the corridor to lock the door. If inside lockdown is the requirement, look at an intruder function lock such as the BEST 45HCA Series heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function, or the TownSteel FME-4000 electronic intruder classroom mortise lock.
9) What is a mechanical Grade 1 classroom mortise lock equivalent to the Accentra 8808FL?
The Accentra 8808FL is a Grade 1 classroom-function mortise lock with a lever and a 2-3/4 inch backset, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 3-1/4 inch thick. Two mechanical Grade 1 classroom mortise locksets cover the same function: the Corbin Russwin ML2003 from the ML2000 Series, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070, a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch, also listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The 8808FL is the choice when the door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch, since its range runs to 3-1/4 inch.
10) I need classroom security with access control instead of a keyed classroom lock - what should I use?
The Accentra 8808FL is a mechanical keyed lock with a single cylinder, so it is operated by key only. For credential-based classroom openings, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology, and the TownSteel FME-4000 is an electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID, both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Keypad classroom options include the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy, a Grade 1 classroom-function electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes, and the DL2700CR Trilogy T2, also Grade 1 classroom function; both Alarm Lock units are listed for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick.
11) What mortise lock should I use instead of the 8808FL for an office, storeroom, or restroom door?
The Accentra 8808FL is classroom function, so other functions call for different lock bodies. Cal-Royal's Grade 1 heavy duty mortise line covers the adjacent functions on 1-3/4 inch doors: the NM8050 for office/entrance with auxiliary deadlatch, the NM8080 for storeroom with an interchangeable core option, and the NM8440 privacy for bed/bath with deadbolt. Hager's Grade 1 3850E covers office function with lever and escutcheon, non-keyed, on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock. For a dormitory or corridor opening, the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt.
12) Which mortise locks look like substitutes for the 8808FL but will not work on a classroom door?
Several mortise products sit near the Accentra 8808FL without doing its job. Dummy trims do not latch at all: the Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 half dummy trim, non-keyed, and the Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan are all dummy-function mortise entrance locksets. Mortise deadbolts are also not locksets - the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is deadbolt function. The Schlage PC10 is Grade 1 but a cylindrical passage lock, which needs bored prep rather than the mortise pocket the 8808FL requires.
13) I need the classroom door to lock and unlock from a card reader or access panel - what replaces the 8808FL?
The Accentra 8808FL is a mechanical lock with no electrical option. For an opening tied to an access control system, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit and 12/24VDC operation for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Command Access ML190 is a heavy duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC in storeroom function, and the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation. The Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 wireless ENGAGE mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating.
14) Is there a version of this lock that shows whether the classroom door is locked?
Yes, the 8800 Series offers status indicator options that display locked or unlocked state on the door, which many school districts now specify so a teacher can confirm the door is secure without opening it.
15) What is the difference between the 8800 FL and the 8800 SL trim?
On the SL version the lever is attached directly to the escutcheon trim for added security, and it uses thrubolted security head screws. The FL trim, which is what the 8808FL carries, is the standard heavy-duty escutcheon or rose arrangement. Both are vandal resistant; the SL adds the attack resistant lever attachment for high abuse openings.
16) Is the Accentra 8808FL tough enough for a high traffic school corridor?
It is built for it. Certified ANSI/BHMA A156.13, Series 1000, Operational Grade 1, with heavy-duty escutcheon trim for resistance to damage and vandalism and a reinforced stainless steel deadbolt. Grade 1 is the top commercial durability tier under that standard, which is what institutional and MRO specs normally call for on corridor and classroom openings.
17) The door does not need key control - is there a cheaper non-keyed mortise lock than the 8808FL?
The Accentra 8808FL is a keyed classroom lock, so if the opening only needs latching there are simpler non-keyed mortise options. The Hager 3810E is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon and 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors, and the 3810S is the same passage function with rose trim. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and is fire rated. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. None of these provide the key-operated classroom control the 8808FL gives.
18) Can I order just a mortise lock body instead of the complete 8808FL lockset?
The Accentra 8808FL is a complete classroom lockset supplied with the Virginia lever on either rose or escutcheon trim. If you are rebuilding an existing opening and only need the chassis, BEST offers heavy duty mortise lock bodies on their own: the 45H Series public entrance function body with field reversible operation, and the 45HCA Series intruder function lockbody. Baldwin also sells mortise lock bodies with a 2-1/2 inch backset, including the 6301 entry/apartment and the 6310 entry/storeroom, so confirm your door prep, because the 8808FL uses a 2-3/4 inch backset.
19) For a behavioral health or hospital door, is the 8808FL the right mortise lock?
The Accentra 8808FL uses a Virginia lever on rose or escutcheon trim, which is a conventional lever profile. Where ligature resistance is required, TownSteel offers Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature mortise locksets for 1-3/4 inch doors: the MRX-L-01 in passage function with a stainless steel anti-ligature lever, and the MRX-A-01 passage function with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function rather than the keyed classroom control of the 8808FL.
20) My classroom door is only 1-3/4 inch thick but I may reuse the prep on a thicker door later - which classroom lock covers both?
The Accentra 8808FL accommodates door thickness from 1-3/4 inch to 3-1/4 inch on a 2-3/4 inch backset and is field reversible for handing, so one part number covers thin and thick leaves. The comparable Grade 1 classroom mortise locksets are narrower: the Corbin Russwin ML2003, the Cal-Royal NM8070 and the TownSteel FME-2000 are each listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Alarm Lock DL2700CR and DL3500CR classroom units cover 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch.
21) Can I match the Accentra 8808FL classroom lock to other functions on the same building with the same lever?
Yes. The 8808 is the classroom function within the Accentra 8800 Series, and the series covers functions for commercial and industrial applications in a range of trims and finishes. Specifying the Virginia lever in 626 satin chrome across passage, storeroom and classroom openings keeps the whole building looking and feeling the same.
