Accentra VIR-8847FL-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Accentra 8847FL mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The 8847FL is built for doors from 1-3/4 inches up to 3-1/4 inches thick, so a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door is at the bottom of its range. That upper limit also covers thick doors that most mortise locksets cannot handle without a special kit. Backset is 2-3/4 inches, the standard commercial mortise backset.
2) What does the entrance/apartment function on the 8847FL actually do at the door?
Entrance/apartment function on the Accentra 8847 means the outside lever is locked or unlocked by key, and the lock carries a deadbolt alongside the latchbolt. It is a single cylinder setup, so the key works the outside only and the inside side stays free for egress. That is the usual choice for apartment entries and tenant suite doors rather than a storeroom lock, where the outside lever is always fixed.
3) Do I have to order the 8847FL handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
Handing is not a purchase decision here. The 8847FL is field reversible, so one lock covers left and right hand openings and you can flip it on site if the door swing on the drawing turns out backwards.
4) Will the 8847FL latch into the strike already in my frame?
The latchbolt throws 3/4 inch, which is the common throw for a commercial mortise lock, and it comes with a reinforced stainless steel deadbolt as well. If your existing frame is cut for an ANSI mortise strike with a deadbolt pocket, the bolt geometry lines up. A frame prepped only for a cylindrical latch, with no deadbolt cut, will need new frame prep.
5) Can I use the Accentra 8847FL on a fire rated apartment corridor door?
Yes. The 8847FL is UL and cUL listed for doors rated up to 3 hours, which covers stairwell, corridor and tenant entry doors in multi-family and institutional buildings.
6) What do I need to specify when ordering the 8847FL Virginia lever lock?
Three choices. Trim style: CN escutcheon or R rose. Cylinder: a conventional cylinder in the PARA-E1R keyway, or less cylinder if you are supplying your own to match an existing key system. Finish is 626 satin chrome. The lever design is the Virginia lever.
7) Can I order the 8847FL without a cylinder so it keys into my existing master system?
Yes, a less cylinder version is offered. That is the one to buy if your locksmith is supplying cylinders keyed to the building's existing system. Otherwise the lock ships with a conventional cylinder in the PARA-E1R keyway.
8) I have Baldwin 6301 mortise bodies on my other doors, will an Accentra 8847 match the prep?
No, plan on different prep. The Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise body uses a 2-1/2 inch backset, while the 8847 is 2-3/4 inch. The lever spindle and cylinder holes land in a different place, so mixing the two on the same door prep does not work. Match the backset to what is already cut.
9) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Accentra 8847FL entrance/apartment mortise lock?
The Baldwin 6301LS is the nearest lever-operated match by function: it is an entry/apartment mortise lock body with lever by lever trim and a 2-1/2 inch backset, for doors 1-3/4 inch and over. The Accentra 8847FL is also an entrance/apartment function mortise lock with a lever, carrying ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification and a 2-3/4 inch backset. If the door is already prepped for a 2-3/4 inch backset, the 8847FL drops in; a 2-1/2 inch backset body changes the cylinder and spindle centerline relative to the door edge, so confirm the mortise pocket before swapping.
10) I need an entrance mortise lock but the opening is an office door, not an apartment - is there a better function than the 8847FL?
For an office door, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 entrance/office function mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch, sized for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Accentra 8847FL is entrance/apartment function and includes a reinforced stainless steel deadbolt with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw, which is what an apartment or tenant entry usually calls for. Office function typically lets the occupant lock and unlock the outside lever from inside without a key; apartment function keys the outside and throws a separate deadbolt. Pick by how you want the door left during the day.
11) Our doors are thicker than standard - does the 8847FL cover more range than the usual alternatives?
The Accentra 8847FL accommodates door thickness from 1-3/4 inch to 3-1/4 inch. Most comparable mortise locksets are built around a single nominal thickness: the Cal-Royal NM8050 and NM8080 are listed at 1-3/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 at 1-3/4 inch, and the TownSteel FME-2000 at 1-3/4 inch. The Hager 3810E covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch. For a heavy or laminated door above 2-1/2 inch, the 8847FL range is the one to check first.
12) Should I pick the escutcheon or the rose trim on an 8847FL?
The CN escutcheon is the heavier choice: it is a full plate that resists damage and vandalism, and the escutcheon version is what carries Security Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000. The R rose is a smaller round trim for a cleaner look on lower-abuse openings. Both are Operational Grade 1.
13) Is the 8847FL heavy enough for a high-traffic building entrance?
It is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.13, Series 1000, Operational Grade 1, the top grade for mortise locksets, and it is a commercial-duty lock with vandal-resistant escutcheon trim and a reinforced stainless steel deadbolt. Grade 1 is what specs call for on office, school, healthcare, retail and multi-tenant residential entrances.
14) What should I use instead of the 8847FL on a classroom door?
Classroom function is a different lock. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch, also 1-3/4 inch. The Accentra 8847FL is entrance/apartment function, so it will not give you the key-outside-only lockdown behavior a classroom opening is specified for.
15) We want keypad access on our apartment entries instead of keys - what replaces the 8847FL?
For keyless entry on a mortise prep, the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock, and the Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a mobile-enabled mortise lock with push button and LED covering privacy, office and apartment functions, Grade 2, rated for 3 hour fire doors on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Accentra 8847FL is a mechanical, non-electronic lock, keyed with a single cylinder, and is UL/cUL listed for 3-hour fire rated doors. The electronic units need battery or power provisioning that the mechanical 8847FL does not.
16) If the door does not need to be keyed, what is a simpler alternative to the Accentra 8847FL?
For a non-keyed opening, the Hager 3810E is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch, and the Hager 3810S is the same passage lock with rose trim. The Falcon MA101 is another Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation. All three share the 8847FL's mortise prep concept without a cylinder; the 8847FL is keyed with a single cylinder, so it is the choice only where the door has to lock.
17) Is the Sargent 7925 a drop-in substitute for the Accentra 8847FL?
They are close in class but not the same function. The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty corridor/dormitory function mortise lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. The Accentra 8847FL is entrance/apartment function, keyed single cylinder, with a reinforced stainless steel deadbolt. Corridor/dormitory locks are built so the deadbolt retracts when the inside lever is turned for egress; specify by the exact function letter your door schedule calls out rather than by trim appearance.
18) Will a Marks USA 21AC or 22AC work in place of the Accentra 8847FL on a storefront-style door?
No. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with a round knob, built for 1 inch door thickness. The Accentra 8847FL accommodates door thickness from 1-3/4 inch to 3-1/4 inch with a lever and a single cylinder. The narrow ornamental iron bodies are for thin stiles and will not fill an 8847FL pocket, and the double cylinder arrangement changes egress behavior.
19) What is the difference between the 8847FL and a storeroom function mortise lock like the Cal-Royal NM8080?
The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom function mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option, and storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times with key access only. The Accentra 8847FL is entrance/apartment function with a keyed single cylinder and a reinforced stainless steel deadbolt, so the occupant can secure the door with the deadbolt from inside. Choose storeroom for utility and supply rooms, entrance/apartment for tenant and suite entries.
20) Can I use a mortise deadbolt like the Sargent 4874 instead of the 8847FL?
Only as a supplement, not a replacement. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series - it has no latchbolt and no lever, so the door has no operable handle. The Accentra 8847FL combines a lever with a 3/4 inch latchbolt throw and a reinforced stainless steel deadbolt in one 2-3/4 inch backset body. If your opening already has separate pull hardware and you only need the bolt, the 4874 covers it; otherwise the 8847FL does both jobs in one mortise pocket.
21) Which mortise locks besides the 8847FL are field reversible for handing?
The Accentra 8847FL has field reversible handing, so one lock covers left and right hand openings. Among comparable mortise bodies, the BEST 45H Series heavy duty public entrance lock body and the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock are also listed with field reversible operation. Note that some peers are handed from the factory - the Baldwin 6310190RRLS is specified right hand reverse - so on a mixed-handing building the reversible bodies cut down on how many part numbers you stock.
22) Does the 8847FL come in finishes other than satin chrome?
Satin chrome, 626, is the finish offered on the 8847FL with the Virginia lever. If you are matching existing hardware in a different finish across a building, 626 is the most common commercial finish and usually the one already on the openings.
23) Is the Schlage L0170 an alternative to the 8847FL for a second leaf or inactive door?
For an inactive leaf you want dummy trim, not a working lock. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed half dummy mortise lever trim for 1-3/4 inch doors in the L Series. The Accentra 8847FL is a keyed, single cylinder entrance/apartment mortise lock with a working latchbolt and deadbolt, so it is the wrong part for a leaf that never latches. Pair the dummy trim on the inactive leaf with the 8847FL on the active leaf if you want matching lever appearance.
