Cal-Royal SC8082 Grade 1 Asylum/Institution Mortise Lockset with Interchangeable Core Prep

The Cal-Royal SC8082 is a heavy-duty asylum/institution mortise lockset engineered for 1 \u00be" (44.5mm) thick doors with a 2 \u00be" (70mm) backset and 3 7/8" (98mm) center-to-center dimension. Built with a wrought steel, zinc dichromate plated lock case, this double cylinder keyed lockset conforms to ANSI A156.13 Grade 1 standards and is tested to exceed 1,000,000 cycles, making it ideal for demanding commercial and institutional environments. The lock body is fully field reversible and retrofits directly into Schlage L9000 Series mortise lock preparations without additional drilling.

Key Features

  • Door & Dimensional Compatibility: Designed for 1 \u00be" (44.5mm) thick doors with a 2 \u00be" (70mm) backset and 3 7/8" (98mm) center-to-center spacing between lever and cylinder.
  • Heavy-Duty Cycle Rating: Lock body conforms to ANSI A156.13 Grade 1 operational and dimensional performance, exceeding 1,000,000 cycles for long-term reliability in high-traffic institutional settings.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Wrought steel, zinc dichromate plated lock case with a hardened stainless steel deadbolt offering 1" (25.4mm) throw and a one-piece stainless steel latch bolt with anti-friction reversible tongue and \u00be" (19mm) throw.
  • Field Reversible Design: Lock bodies are easily field reversible, eliminating the need to specify hand when ordering, and the auxiliary latch is non-handed stainless steel.
  • Interchangeable Core Compatibility: Accepts compatible 6 or 7 pin interchangeable cores (SFIC) from BEST, FALCON, and ARROW, in addition to the standard 6-pin solid brass "C" keyway cylinder.
  • Armor Faceplate: Brass or stainless steel faceplate measuring 8" x 1 7/32" (203mm x 31.3mm) per ANSI Standard A115.1, with strike constructed of brass or stainless steel featuring curved lip and dust box.
  • Free-Wheeling Clutch Lever: Outside lever rotates freely when locked, reducing excessive force on the lever and decreasing the chance of lever breakage or damage.

Cal-Royal SC8082 SS US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal SC8082 mortise lock drop into an existing Schlage L9000 prep?
Yes. The SC8082 lock body retrofits directly into Schlage L9000 Series mortise preparations with no additional door drilling, and that holds for both the sectional and the wide escutcheon trims. It runs a 2-3/4 inch backset and 3-7/8 inch center-to-center between lever and cylinder, which is what makes the existing cutout and cylinder hole line up.
2) What door thickness does the Cal-Royal SC8082 mortise lockset fit?
It is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, the standard commercial thickness. This is a single-thickness lock, so it isn't the part for a 1-3/8 inch interior door or for a thick 2 inch plus door. If you're working a thicker opening, the Hager 3800 Series mortise locks cover 1-3/4 inch up to 2-1/2 inch depending on function.
3) Do I have to specify hand when I order the SC8082?
No. The SC8082 lock body is field reversible, so one lock covers left and right hand openings, and the auxiliary latch is non-handed stainless. The latch bolt uses an anti-friction reversible tongue. What you do specify is finish and trim design, not handing.
4) What does the asylum/institution function on the SC8082 actually do?
It's a double cylinder keyed lock, meaning a key is required from both sides to retract the latch. Neither lever operates the latch at any time, so there is no free egress by turning the inside lever. That is the point of the function in detention, secure psychiatric, and utility rooms, and it is why you have to confirm the opening is not an egress door that code requires to open without a key.
5) Can I use my existing BEST small format interchangeable cores in this Cal-Royal mortise lock?
Interchangeable core versions of the SC8082 accept compatible 6 or 7 pin SFIC cores in BEST, Falcon, and Arrow formats, so a facility already keyed on BEST SFIC can carry the same core into these doors. The standard non-IC build ships with a 6-pin solid brass "C" keyway cylinder instead.
6) Is the Cal-Royal SC8082 approved for a fire rated door?
Yes. The SC8082 is UL and cUL Listed for A label openings (3 hour fire doors), with the stamped letter F and UL symbol on the armor faceplate, and it meets positive pressure requirements per UL 10C and UBC 7-2 (1997). The faceplate itself is brass or stainless, 8 x 1-7/32 inches per ANSI A115.1 prep.
7) Will the SC8082 latch into the strike that's already in my frame?
The latch bolt throws 3/4 inch and the hardened stainless deadbolt throws a full 1 inch, so the frame needs a strike with a deadbolt pocket deep enough for that 1 inch projection. The lock ships with a brass or stainless strike with curved lip and dust box. If your existing frame is prepped for a standard ANSI mortise strike from an L9000, it takes this one.
8) What ligature-resistant mortise lockset can be used instead of the Cal-Royal SC8082 on a behavioral health door?
The SC8082 is a keyed double cylinder asylum/institution mortise lockset with a lever trim. Where the opening needs ligature-resistant trim rather than a keyed lever, TownSteel offers the MRX-L-01, a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function, and the MRX-A-01, a satin stainless steel ligature-resistant arch trim mortise lockset, also Grade 1 heavy duty passage - both for 1-3/4 inch doors. Marks USA also lists the 5PDN, 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, so they provide no key control; the SC8082 is keyed on both sides.
9) What is a Grade 1 mortise alternative to the Cal-Royal SC8082 for a classroom door instead of an asylum function?
The Cal-Royal SC8082 is an asylum/institution/utility function mortise lockset, double cylinder keyed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the opening calls for a classroom function instead, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Marks USA LA318GJ is another Grade 1 mortise option for 1-3/4 inch doors, with a classroom security indicator and a steel escutcheon measuring 8-1/2 inch H x 2-3/4 inch W x 7/16 inch. Classroom function locks key the outside lever only; the SC8082 is keyed on both sides.
10) Is there an electronic mortise lock that replaces the Cal-Royal SC8082 where access control is needed?
The SC8082 is a mechanical lockset with no electronics. For credential-based access on a mortise prep, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the FME-4000 adds electronic intruder classroom function with RFID. Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating. Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 pushbutton/card entry/egress mortise lock. These require batteries or power and credential management; the SC8082 runs on keys alone.
11) I need remote lock and unlock on an existing mortise prep - what goes in instead of the Cal-Royal SC8082?
The SC8082 is a mechanical lockset with no electrical option. For an electrified mortise in the same pocket, the Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC. The Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty corridor function electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, keyed outside, with request to exit and 12/24VDC operation. The BEST 45HW Series is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V. All three need power transfer hardware at the hinge; the SC8082 does not.
12) Is this mortise lock tough enough for a high traffic institutional corridor?
It's built for it. Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 for both operational and security grade, tested past 1,000,000 cycles, with a wrought steel zinc dichromate plated case, hardened stainless deadbolt, and a one-piece stainless latch. The outside lever free-wheels when locked, which is the detail that keeps abuse on the lever from breaking the spindle in a detention or school setting.
13) What do I need to choose when ordering the Cal-Royal SC8082?
Two decisions: finish and trim. Finishes are US3 polished brass, US4 satin brass, US10B antique bronze oiled, US26D satin chrome, and US32D satin stainless steel. Trim comes in 14 designs across sectional and wide escutcheon styles (AE, AS, GE, GS, HE, HS, JE, JS, SE, SS, TE, TS, WE, WS), where the E suffix is the escutcheon version and S the sectional. Handing is not a selection, since the body reverses in the field.
14) Should I pick a sectional trim or a wide escutcheon trim on this lockset?
Wide escutcheon covers more of the door face and hides old prep scarring, which helps on a retrofit where the previous hardware left marks. Sectional uses separate rose and cylinder collar for a cleaner look on a new door. Either way the SC8082 goes into a Schlage L9000 prep without extra drilling, and neither shows exposed mounting screws on the inside or outside trim.
15) Is the SC8082 ADA compliant for a barrier free opening?
Yes. It's a lever handle lockset stated as ADA compliant and designed for barrier free application. Note that the double cylinder keyed function still requires a key from both sides, so ADA operability of the lever does not change the fact that this is a secured, key-both-sides opening.
16) I need a Grade 1 mortise lock but not a key-both-sides function. What else is there?
The SC8082 is specifically the asylum/institution double cylinder function, so if you need normal classroom or storeroom operation, look elsewhere. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom function in the 8800 Series, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage mortise lock that is also field reversible.
17) Can the SC8082 be wired for access control or a card reader?
No. The SC8082 is a strictly mechanical mortise lockset with no electrified option. For a credentialed opening at the same 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset, and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty electric lock/unlock mortise lock with request-to-exit running 12/24VDC.
18) If I only need a mortise deadbolt and not a full lockset like the Cal-Royal SC8082, what should I order?
The SC8082 combines a 3/4 inch throw latch bolt with a 1 inch throw deadbolt and lever trim in one case. If the opening already has a latching device and only needs a deadbolt, the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series, matching the SC8082 backset. Kaba Ilco also offers the 185 Series mortise deadbolt with no handing. Neither includes lever trim or a latch bolt.
19) What is the non-keyed equivalent to the Cal-Royal SC8082 for doors that do not need security?
The SC8082 is a keyed double cylinder mortise lockset. For a non-keyed opening in the same mortise prep, Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock, field reversible and fire rated, and Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors. Hager's 3800 Series offers passage in both trims - 3810S with rose and 3810E with escutcheon, both Grade 1 with a 2-3/4 inch backset matching the SC8082. For privacy, the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
20) Can I use a BEST 45H mortise lock body in place of the Cal-Royal SC8082?
They are not the same scope of supply. The Cal-Royal SC8082 is a complete lockset with lever trim, available in sectional and wide escutcheon trim options and five finishes including US26D satin chrome and US32D satin stainless steel. The BEST 45H Series is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function with field reversible operation, and the 45HCA Series body is offered in intruder function - a lock body is the case only and is specified with trim separately. Both the SC8082 and the BEST 45H body are field reversible.
21) Would a Baldwin 6301 or 6310 mortise lock work as a substitute for the Cal-Royal SC8082?
They fit different preps. The SC8082 uses a 2-3/4 inch backset with 3-7/8 inch center-to-center spacing on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise lock body and the 6310 entry/storeroom body both use a 2-1/2 inch backset, with the 6301 listed for 1-3/4 inch and over and the 6310 for 1-3/8 inch and over. A 2-1/2 inch backset body will not drop into a prep cut for 2-3/4 inch, so confirm the mortise pocket before substituting either way.
22) Will an Alarm Lock Trilogy mortise lock fit the same door as the Cal-Royal SC8082?
Check the door thickness before you commit. The Cal-Royal SC8082 is built for 1-3/4 inch thick doors. The Alarm Lock Trilogy DL2700CR classroom, DL3500CR classroom and DL4500 deadbolt models are all Grade 1 and listed for a 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range, so a 1-3/4 inch door falls inside that band. Function differs, though - the SC8082 is a mechanical double cylinder asylum/institution lockset, while those Trilogy units are keypad electronic locks in classroom or deadbolt function.
23) What mortise lock covers a dormitory or corridor opening rather than the asylum function of the Cal-Royal SC8082?
The Cal-Royal SC8082 is keyed both sides in asylum/institution/utility function, which means key operation is required from either side. For a corridor or dormitory opening where inside egress must always be free, the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. The single cylinder deadbolt on the 7925 retracts with the inside lever rather than requiring a key.
24) Will the SC8082 match the other locks in my building?
Across a facility, two things need to line up: finish and keying. Finish choices are US3, US4, US10B, US26D, and US32D, with US26D satin chrome and US32D satin stainless being the usual commercial standards. On keying, the interchangeable core version takes BEST, Falcon, or Arrow 6 or 7 pin SFIC, so it folds into an existing SFIC masterkey system rather than forcing a second key system.
25) Is a Schlage L0170 dummy trim a substitute for the Cal-Royal SC8082?
No. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 non-keyed half dummy lever trim for 1-3/4 inch doors - it has no latch and no locking mechanism, and is used on inactive leaves. The Cal-Royal SC8082 is a functioning keyed double cylinder mortise lockset with a 3/4 inch latch bolt and 1 inch deadbolt. Emtek's Brisbane 3019, Memphis 3102, Hamilton 3104 and Manhattan 3106 mortise entrance locksets are likewise dummy function.
