BEST 45HW7DEL15H626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What happens to the BEST 45HW electrified mortise lock when the power goes out?
It unlocks. The 45HW in an EL (electrically locked) configuration is fail safe, so it is held locked by power and releases on power loss. That is the configuration you want where free egress or free access on an alarm condition is required. If you need the opposite behavior, door stays locked when power drops, you want an EU (electrically unlocked) fail secure function instead.
2) Does the 45HW mortise lock need a Temperature Control Module, and is it included?
Yes on both counts. Every W-series BEST lock requires a Temperature Control Module, and the TCM plus its connector ship standard with each order. You do not have to add them as a separate line, but do plan the wiring run and access for the module when you set the door prep.
3) Will the BEST 45HW drop into an existing mortise pocket with a 2-3/4 inch backset?
The 45HW is built on a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the standard commercial mortise backset, so the lock case lines up with standard ANSI mortise door prep. The difference from a mechanical mortise lock is electrical: you need a wire transfer at the hinge edge and a path to the power supply, so retrofitting into a purely mechanical opening means adding an electric hinge or power transfer plus the door and frame wiring.
4) Does the 45HW latch and deadbolt throw work with a standard ANSI strike?
Throws are 1 inch on the deadbolt and 3/4 inch on the latchbolt, which is standard for a commercial mortise lock and engages a standard ANSI mortise strike. Check that the existing strike box has the depth for a full 1 inch deadbolt throw before reusing it.
5) Does the 45HW electrified mortise lock come with a cylinder?
No core is supplied. It ships with SFIC prep, less core, single cylinder keyed. You add a small format interchangeable core in your own keyway so the lock keys into the existing masterkey system on the building.
6) Is the BEST 45HW approved for use on a fire door assembly or in California and New York City?
It is UL listed under GYQS for electrically controlled single point locks or latches, approved by the California State Fire Marshal under section 13144.1 of the California Health and Safety Code (CSFM listing No. 4136-1175:101), and accepted by the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals under calendar number 49-88-SA. Refer to the CSFM listing for allowable values and conditions of use.
7) I need this door locked during a power outage, not unlocked. Is the 45HW fail safe the right pick?
No. Fail safe means power holds it locked, so a power loss leaves the opening unsecured. For a storeroom, IT closet or exterior door that must stay locked without power, order a fail secure EU function instead. The Command Access ML190 Series is one option that allows EL or EU selection in the field on 24VDC, and the Schlage L9092EU is a fail secure electrified mortise lock.
8) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the BEST 45HW electrified mortise lock wired for 24V?
The Schlage L9092EU with 03A lever trim is the nearest peer: it is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request-to-exit switch, rated for 12/24VDC and 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST 45HW runs 12V or 24V AC or DC, 0.45 amps at 24V, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and SFIC prep less core. One practical difference in configuration: the Schlage listed here is an EU (fail secure, electrically unlocked) lock, while the 45HW EL configuration is fail safe, electrically locked. Command Access ML190 is the other close option and is field selectable between EL and EU on 24VDC.
9) We have no power at the door. What mortise lock should we use instead of the 45HW electrified lock?
The 45HW requires a 12V or 24V AC/DC supply at the door, so with no wiring run you want a mechanical mortise lock or a battery/standalone unit. Mechanical Grade 1 options include the Accentra 8805FL storeroom lock, the Cal-Royal NM8080 storeroom lockset with interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 classroom lockset. If you still need code-based control without running power, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic classroom mortise lock with 300 user codes for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Schlage CO-100-MS keypad mortise lock is a Grade 1 standalone.
10) Do I have to order the BEST 45HW handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
The latchbolt is field reversible without opening the case, and it is oil impregnated for anti friction operation. So handing on the latch is a field adjustment, not a separate order.
11) What trim and finish does this 45HW configuration come with, and is there an option for a hospital or clinic?
This build is the 15 lever on an H rose, a 2-3/4 inch flat rose, in 626 satin chrome. For healthcare corridors the 45HW series is also offered in antimicrobial finishes, 626AM satin chrome and 630AM satin stainless steel.
12) What else could I use instead of a wired fail safe mortise lock like the BEST 45HW?
If you want field selectable behavior rather than committing to fail safe, the Command Access ML190 Series motorized mortise lock runs on 24VDC and lets you set EL or EU in the field. For a keyed outside lever with request to exit monitoring on 12 or 24VDC, look at the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim and RX switch. If running power to the door is the obstacle, a standalone battery credential lock avoids wiring altogether, for example the TownSteel FME-2000 Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset or the Schlage CO-100 keypad mortise lock.
13) Can I standardize a building on BEST mortise locks and only electrify some doors?
Yes, that is the usual approach. The 45HW uses the same 2-3/4 inch backset mortise prep and BEST SFIC keying as the mechanical BEST mortise locks, so trim and keys stay consistent across the building while only the access controlled openings get the wired lock, power supply and transfer hardware.
14) Can I use a credential reader lock instead of tying the 45HW into our access control panel?
Yes, if you want the credential decision made at the door rather than at a panel. The 45HW is a wired lock that takes a lock/unlock signal from your system at 12V or 24V AC/DC. Reader-integrated alternatives include the TownSteel FME-2000 Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with RFID, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, the Schlage LEMD-GRW ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and 3 hour fire rating, and the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx wireless keypad mortise lock. These change the system architecture, not just the lock.
15) What items look like substitutes for the BEST 45HW electrified mortise lock but will not work?
Several mortise-family parts are not lock bodies at all. The Sargent 130KB and 130W are mortise thumbturns, trim pieces only. The Schlage L0170 is a half dummy trim with no latch, and the Falcon MESC600DT is a dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 exit devices. The Emtek 3019, 3102, 3104 and 3106 mortise entrance locksets are dummy function. Also non-equivalent: the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and no latch or lever, and the Schlage PC10 is a cylindrical passage lock, not a mortise prep. The 45HW is a keyed, single cylinder electrified mortise lock body with lever trim.
16) For an interior door that only needs latching, is there a simpler mortise lock than the electrified 45HW?
Yes. The 45HW is an electronic, keyed commercial lock that needs a power supply and a Temperature Control Module. For an opening that just needs a latch, the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock that is field reversible and fire rated, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose and a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors, which matches the 45HW backset if you are reusing the door prep.
17) The 45HW is prepped for a small format interchangeable core. Which comparable mortise locks take an interchangeable core?
The BEST 45HW ships with SFIC prep less core, so the core is ordered to your keyway and keying separately. Among mechanical peers, the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset is offered with an interchangeable core option. If you want to stay on an electrified lock with key override, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is keyed on the outside lever, and the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch mortise lock has cylinder override with no deadbolt.
18) Does the 45HW fit a 1-5/8 inch door, and what fits if it does not?
The BEST 45HW is a commercial mortise lock built to a standard 2-3/4 inch backset door prep. If your doors are thinner than typical commercial stock, the Alarm Lock DL2700CR and DL3500CR Grade 1 classroom electronic mortise locks and the DL4500 electronic mortise deadbolt are all listed for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors. For thicker doors, the Hager 3810E and 3850E cover 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch. Confirm door thickness and stile width before you commit either way.
19) For a behavioral health or patient room door, is the 45HW the right choice or is there a better mortise option?
The 45HW is offered in 626AM satin chrome and 630AM satin stainless antimicrobial finishes for healthcare, but it uses a standard lever and rose trim. Where ligature resistance is the governing requirement, the TownSteel MRX-A-01 arch trim and MRX-L-01 lever are Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature passage mortise locksets for 1-3/4 inch doors, and 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. Those are passage function, so they do not provide the remote locking the 45HW does.
20) We need classroom lockdown rather than remote fail safe unlocking. What mortise locks cover that?
The 45HW in its EL configuration is electrically locked and released by your access control system, which is a corridor and stair application rather than a teacher-initiated lockdown. For lockdown at the door, the Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset with ANSI strike and a steel escutcheon 8-1/2 by 2-3/4 by 7/16 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel FME-4000 is an electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 and Corbin Russwin ML2003 are Grade 1 mechanical classroom locksets for 1-3/4 inch doors.
21) Can I substitute the 45HW into a residential or ornamental iron door?
No. The 45HW is a commercial electrified mortise lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset that needs a power supply at the door. Residential and decorative mortise bodies run different preps: the Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment and 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock bodies use a 2-1/2 inch backset, and the Marks USA 21AC and 22AC ornamental iron mortise locks are built for 1 inch thick doors. Those are not interchangeable with the 45HW prep.
22) How tough is the 45HW lock case for a high traffic commercial door?
The case is 0.095 cold rolled steel with zinc dichromate plating, and the bolt components are stainless steel. It is a commercial duty lock, not a residential one, intended for schools, healthcare, government and multi tenant buildings.
23) Is a keyless pushbutton mortise lock an alternative to the wired 45HW?
It is if you can give up integration with a central panel. The 45HW is wired and keyed with an SFIC cylinder prep. Keyless peers include the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock for wide stile applications, the E-Plex E5086 Grade 1 back-to-back pushbutton and card entry/egress mortise lock, and the Dormakaba PowerPlex P2066 mortise lock. The Codelocks CL2255 is an electronic tubular mortise latch rated medium duty, which is a lighter class than the commercial 45HW.
24) Which mortise lock should I use on a dormitory or apartment corridor door instead of the 45HW?
If the door does not need electric control, the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty corridor/dormitory function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, which is close in trim style to the 45HW with its H flat rose. For apartment entry on residential prep, the Baldwin 6301LS is a lever-by-lever entry/apartment mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset. The 45HW remains the choice where the corridor door has to unlock on a signal from the fire alarm or access control system.
