Command Access ML03EL 626 24V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Command Access ML05 come with levers and trim, or is it just the lock body?
Chassis only. The ML05 is the electrified mortise lock body by itself, meant to be combined with trim and hardware you already have or are supplying separately. That is the point of it: you electrify the opening without buying a whole new lockset. Budget for levers, roses or escutcheons, and a cylinder as separate line items.
2) Will the Command Access ML05 drop into a Corbin Russwin ML2000 mortise prep?
It is built on the Corbin Russwin ML2000 mortise lock platform, so it is the electrified replacement for an ML2000 body and works with that platform's trim and prep. If your existing openings are Corbin Russwin ML2000, this is the retrofit path to card-reader control without re-prepping the door.
3) Should I order the ML05 fail-safe or fail-secure for a stairwell door?
Both modes are orderable on the ML05. Fail-secure (ML05EU) keeps the outside lever locked when power drops, which is the usual choice for a secure room or tenant entry. Fail-safe (ML03EL) unlocks the outside lever on power loss, which is what stairwell re-entry and fire-alarm-release schemes normally call for. Either way the inside lever stays free at all times for egress, so the choice only affects entry from the corridor side. Confirm with your AHJ which the stair doors require before you pick.
4) What voltage does the ML05 electrified mortise lock run on?
12VDC and 24VDC are both available, and you pick one when you order. Match it to the power supply already feeding the access control panel at that door. Both voltages are offered in fail-safe and fail-secure and with any of the switch options.
5) Can I get door position and request-to-exit monitoring built into this mortise lock?
Yes, and you specify it on the order. The switch choices are REX (request to exit), DPS (door position), LBM (latchbolt monitor), or none. REX signals the panel when the inside lever is turned so a valid egress does not throw an alarm; DPS reports whether the door is open or closed; LBM reports whether the latchbolt is actually projected into the strike. If you need more than one signal at that opening you will be adding a separate device, since one switch option is selected per lock.
6) I need a mortise lock for an office door with no access control wiring. Is this the right part?
No. The ML05 is an electronic lock body that needs switched low voltage power, 12V or 24V, to release the outside lever, so it does nothing useful on an unwired opening. For a mechanical office or entrance door, look at a non-electrified Grade 1 mortise lock such as the Schlage L9050BDC entrance/office function, single cylinder, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Command Access ML05 electrified mortise lock chassis if I need another electrified storeroom mortise lock?
The DynaLock EML-1 is the nearest peer. Both are electrified mortise locks in a storeroom function, where the outside lever is electronically controlled with key override and the inside lever stays free for egress. The Command Access ML05 is supplied as a chassis only, built on the Corbin Russwin ML2000 platform, and is ordered with the fail-safe or fail-secure function selected up front, 12V or 24V, in 626 satin chrome. The DynaLock unit is part of its EML series. If the opening already has Corbin Russwin ML2000 trim you want to keep, the ML05 chassis is the one that drops into it.
8) I need latch retraction to release a door under access control, not just lever control. Is the Command Access ML05 the right part?
No. The Command Access ML05 controls the outside lever electrically while the latchbolt stays projected, which is how a storeroom function behaves. If the opening needs the latch itself pulled back on a signal, look at the SDC 7600 Series, a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control for doors 1-3/4 inches thick. Choose the ML05 when you want lever control with key override and free egress; choose the 7600 when the access control system must retract the latch.
9) How does storeroom function work on an electrified mortise lock like this?
Outside lever stays locked and is released electrically by the access control system, with key override through the cylinder if the system is down or someone is not on the reader. Inside lever is always free, so anyone in the room can get out without a card, a code, or power. That combination is why storeroom is the function specified for computer rooms, electrical closets, and controlled tenant entries.
10) Is the ML05 heavy enough for a high-traffic commercial entrance?
It is classed heavy-duty and commercial, on the Corbin Russwin ML2000 mortise platform, which is where you land for lobby doors, classroom corridors, and multi-tenant entries that cycle all day. Mortise construction puts the latch and the lever mechanism inside a steel case pocketed into the door edge, which is the reason these hold up better than a cylindrical lock on that kind of traffic.
11) What are the alternatives to the Command Access ML05 if I need a complete electrified mortise lockset rather than a chassis?
A few options depending on what the opening needs. The SDC 7800 PRO Series is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, and the SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset running on 24VDC, both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. DynaLock also offers the EML Series electrified mortise lock in storeroom function. The ML05 differs from all of these in that it is a chassis for retrofitting a Corbin Russwin ML2000 opening, not a standalone complete lockset.
12) The spec calls for a Grade 1 mortise lock. Does the Command Access ML05 meet that, or should I quote something else?
The Command Access ML05 is a heavy-duty commercial electrified mortise chassis built on the Corbin Russwin ML2000 platform. Where the submittal requires a stated ANSI Grade 1 line item, the SDC 7600 Series is listed as Grade 1, and the Schlage L9050BDC is a Grade 1 heavy-duty L Series mortise lock. Note the difference in what each does: the ML05 and the 7600 are electrified, while the L9050BDC is a mechanical entrance/office function with a disposable SFIC and no electrical control.
13) What should I use instead of the Command Access ML05 if the door does not need any electronics?
The Schlage L9050BDC is the mechanical option. It is a Grade 1 heavy duty L Series mortise lock in an entrance/office function, single cylinder non-deadbolt, with a disposable SFIC, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Command Access ML05 is an electronic chassis, ordered at 12V or 24V with a fail-safe or fail-secure function, so it only makes sense on an opening tied to an access control system. For a classroom or office door that is keyed and manually controlled, the L9050BDC covers it without power at the frame.
14) For a high-abuse opening like a school corridor, is there a mortise lock with a clutched lever instead of the Command Access ML05?
The SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and that clutch is what absorbs force on the outside lever when the lock is secure. The Command Access ML05 is a solenoid-switched chassis only on the Corbin Russwin ML2000 platform, which lets you electrify an existing ML2000 opening using the trim already on the door. Pick by the opening: abuse resistance on the lever points to the 7800, retrofit into existing Corbin Russwin trim points to the ML05.
15) Can I order the Command Access ML05 with door position or request-to-exit monitoring, or do I need a different lock for that?
Monitoring is built into the Command Access ML05 order. The chassis is available with a door position switch, a latchbolt monitor, or a request-to-exit switch, in either 12V or 24V and in fail-safe or fail-secure, so the signal comes off the lock itself rather than from separate frame hardware. Among the alternatives, the SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset and the SDC 7800 PRO is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, both for 1-3/4 inch doors, and each is a different approach to how the door releases. If the panel needs REX or door status back from the lock, specify that switch on the ML05 at time of order.
16) What finish does the Command Access ML05 mortise chassis come in?
626 satin chrome, across every fail-safe, fail-secure, voltage, and switch combination. Since this is a lock body and not visible trim, the finish rarely drives the look of the opening anyway, but 626 is the standard commercial finish and matches most existing satin chrome lever trim.
17) Can I use the Command Access ML05 on an exterior door?
Yes, it is specified for interior and exterior commercial door installations, including lobby and main entrances. Exterior use means you still need power transfer into the door (a hinge or door loop) and a cylinder for key override on the outside, neither of which comes with the chassis.
