Accentra VIR-8809FL-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Accentra 8809FL mortise lock fit a 2-1/4 inch thick door?
Yes. The 8809FL covers door thickness from 1-3/4 inches all the way to 3-1/4 inches, so thick wood and clad openings are in range as well as standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors. Backset is the standard 2-3/4 inches, so the mortise pocket and cross-bore centers match typical ANSI mortise prep.
2) What does the classroom/office function on the 8809FL actually do at the door?
Classroom/office function means the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key from the outside cylinder, and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. There is no inside button or thumbturn to change status, so a teacher or office occupant needs the key to secure the door. It is a single-cylinder keyed lock, keyed outside only.
3) Can I use this Accentra mortise lock on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The 8800 Series mortise lock is UL/cUL listed for 3-hour fire rated doors, which covers most stair and corridor openings in schools and offices. It also carries ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 certification; with the CN escutcheon it additionally meets Security Grade 1.
4) Do I have to order the 8809FL handed, or is it reversible in the field?
Handing is field adjustable on the 8800 Series, so one lock covers left and right hand openings. You set it during installation rather than specifying it on the order.
5) Should I pick the CN escutcheon or the rose trim on the Virginia lever 8809FL?
Both trims are offered. The CN escutcheon is the heavy-duty plate option and it is the version that carries Security Grade 1 as well as Operational Grade 1, plus more surface area against prying and vandalism, which is why it gets specified in schools and high-traffic corridors. The R rose is the smaller, cleaner-looking trim for office and administrative doors where abuse is not the concern.
6) Will the 8809FL latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The latchbolt throws 3/4 inch, which is the usual commercial mortise latch projection, so it will engage a standard ANSI mortise strike already in the frame provided the existing prep is on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The lock also carries a reinforced stainless steel deadbolt, so the frame needs the deadbolt cutout as well as the latch keeper, not just a plain latch strike.
7) Do I order the 8809FL with a cylinder or without one?
Both ways. You can take it with a conventional cylinder in the PARA-E1R keyway, or less cylinder if you are a locksmith keying the building to an existing system and will supply your own mortise cylinder. If you order less cylinder, budget for the cylinder and cam separately or the lock arrives unkeyable out of the box.
8) I need the outside lever to be released by an access control system - what replaces the 8809FL?
The 8809FL is a mechanical lock with no electrical option. For access control release, 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 BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, and the Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC.
9) What is a comparable Grade 1 mortise classroom lock to the Accentra 8809FL from another manufacturer?
The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch. Both are mechanical keyed classroom-function mortise locks like the Accentra 8809FL Virginia lever, which is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 with a 2-3/4 inch backset and covers door thicknesses from 1-3/4 inch to 3-1/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 and the Cal-Royal NM8070 are each listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, so on thicker doors the Accentra covers a wider range.
10) I need a classroom mortise lock with keypad access instead of a key - what should I use?
The Accentra 8809FL is a mechanical keyed lock with a single cylinder, not an electronic device. For keypad credentials, the Alarm Lock DL2700CR Trilogy T2 and DL3500CR are Grade 1 electronic mortise locks with classroom function, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology. The Alarm Lock DL2700CR and DL3500CR are listed for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, so confirm door thickness before ordering.
11) What mortise lock should I use instead of the 8809FL for a storeroom or entrance door?
Classroom/office function on the 8809FL lets the outside lever be locked or unlocked by key. For a door that must stay locked outside at all times, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option and the Baldwin 6310 is an entrance/storeroom mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset. For an entrance/office opening, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch. Note the Baldwin 6310 uses a 2-1/2 inch backset where the Accentra 8809FL uses 2-3/4 inch.
12) What is a comparable Grade 1 classroom mortise lock if the Accentra 8800 will not work for me?
For a straight mechanical Grade 1 classroom mortise lock, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 from the ML2000 Series and the Cal-Royal NM8070 both cover classroom function; each is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors only, so neither one goes up to the 3-1/4 inch thickness the Accentra 8800 handles. If you need credentials instead of keys, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with RFID, and the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 keypad classroom mortise lock for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors.
13) I am standardizing lever hardware across a building. Can I keep the Virginia lever and change only the function?
Yes. The 8800 Series offers functions for effectively any commercial application on the same trim family, so you can run the Virginia lever on classroom/office doors, plus other functions on storerooms, offices and passage openings, and the whole building reads as one lever design in 626 Satin Chrome.
14) The opening does not need to be keyed - what non-keyed mortise lock matches the 8809FL?
The 8809FL is a keyed classroom/office function lock. For an unkeyed opening, the Hager 3810E is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon and a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Hager 3810S is the same passage function with rose trim, and the Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon that is non-keyed. The Hager 3810E, 3810S and 3850E all list a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch door thickness range. Schlage PM010 is another Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) Is the Sargent 7925 the same thing as the Accentra 8809FL?
No. The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty 7900 Series mortise lock in corridor/dormitory exit function with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. The Accentra 8809FL is classroom/office function with a Virginia lever, available with either CN escutcheon or rose trim. The dormitory function on the 7925 and the classroom/office function on the 8809FL control the outside lever differently, so they are not drop-in substitutes for one another.
16) Does the 8809FL work on a fire rated door, or do I need a different lock?
The Accentra 8809FL is UL/cUL listed for 3-hour fire rated doors, so no substitution is needed on a 3-hour opening. If you are comparing, the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock carries a fire rating, and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock lists a 3-hour fire rating. The Falcon MA101 is passage function and the LEMD-GRW is an electronic deadbolt trim, so neither replaces the keyed classroom/office function of the 8809FL.
17) Our facility needs anti-ligature trim in a behavioral health wing - is the 8809FL suitable?
The 8809FL uses a Virginia lever on heavy-duty escutcheon or rose trim and is not a ligature resistant design. For those rooms, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset and the MRX-A-01 is a satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim mortise lockset, both passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 ligature resistant, ADA compliant hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel.
18) Is a BEST 45H mortise lock body a substitute for the Accentra 8809FL?
The BEST 45H is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function with field reversible operation, and the 45HCA is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function. Those are lock bodies by function, while the Accentra 8809FL is a complete classroom/office lockset with the Virginia lever and CN escutcheon or rose trim, field adjustable handing, and a choice of conventional PARA-E1R keyway cylinder or less cylinder. Match on function first: public entrance and intruder behave differently from classroom/office.
19) What privacy-function mortise lock pairs with the 8809FL for restrooms in the same building?
The 8809FL covers classroom and office doors. For restrooms and bed/bath openings on the same job, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Hager 3840S shares the 2-3/4 inch backset the 8809FL uses, which keeps the door prep consistent across the building.
20) What finish does the Accentra 8809FL Virginia lever come in?
626 Satin Chrome. That is the standard commercial finish on schools, healthcare and office buildings, so it matches most existing Grade 1 lever hardware and exit device trim already hung in those facilities.
21) Can I use a mortise deadbolt in place of the 8809FL?
A deadbolt alone will not give you the latching lever operation the 8809FL provides as a keyed classroom/office lockset. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the 8809FL backset, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a no-handing mortise deadbolt. Either can supplement a latchset on an opening that needs separate deadbolt throw, but neither carries a lever.
