Command Access ML45DEL 3H 626 24V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Command Access ML45D fit a Best 45H mortise lock body I already have in the door?
The ML45D is an electrified Best 45H series mortise lock, so it drops into an opening already prepped for a Best 45H mortise body. It ships as a chassis only, so the existing trim, cylinder and strike stay in play as long as they suit the 3H, 14H or 15H trim designs the ML45D is built around.
2) Should I order the ML45D fail safe or fail secure for a stairwell or storeroom door?
Fail safe means the outside lever unlocks when power drops, which is what you want on a stair re-entry door or any opening that has to release on alarm. Fail secure keeps the outside lever locked without power, the normal choice for a storeroom, IT closet or supply room where loss of power must not open the door. Both configurations are offered on the ML45D, and the continuous duty solenoid lets either one sit energized indefinitely for unlock-cycle operation.
3) How does the storeroom function on an electrified mortise lock work for egress?
Outside lever stays locked electronically. The latchbolt retracts by key from outside or by the inside lever, and the inside lever is always free, so egress is immediate without touching the access control system. That is why storeroom function is the common pick for secured rooms on an egress path.
4) What power supply do I need to run the ML45D, and how much current will it pull?
It runs on 12V or 24V, AC or DC, with a plug-in bridge rectifier included so you can feed it from either. Draw is 700 mA at 12V or 350 mA at 24V, 8 watts total. On long runs or when you are ganging several locks off one supply, the 24V version is easier on the wire and the power budget.
5) Do I need a REX switch on the mortise lock, or can the access control panel handle request to exit separately?
You can order the ML45D with REX (request to exit), LBM (latchbolt monitor), DPS (door position) or no switch at all. Spec REX when the panel needs to shunt the alarm on a legitimate inside lever pull. LBM tells you the latch is actually thrown, DPS tells you the door is closed. If you already have a separate door contact and motion REX above the opening, the no-switch version is the cleaner order. Only one switch option is chosen per lock, so pick the one your panel actually needs.
6) What other electrified mortise locks could I use instead of the Command Access ML45D?
For the same storeroom function in an electrified mortise body, DynaLock offers the EML-1 in its EML series. If you need motorized latch retraction rather than a solenoid-held lever, SDC's 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset running on 24VDC and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. SDC's 7800 PRO Series is solenoid controlled with a vandal resistant clutch, also 1-3/4 inch doors. The ML45D differs from all of these in that it is built on the Best 45H mortise body, so it is the one to pick when the building is already standardized on Best.
7) What should I use instead of the ML45D if the door does not need electric control at all?
For a purely mechanical opening, the Schlage L9050BDC is the one to look at: an L Series Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock in entrance/office function, single cylinder non-deadbolt, with a disposable SFIC cylinder, for 1-3/4 inch doors. It needs no power run, no rectifier, and no wiring through a hinge, where the Command Access ML45D is an electronic lock offered at 12V or 24V.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Command Access ML45D electrified mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The DynaLock EML-1, part of the EML series, is the nearest peer: it is an electrified mortise lock built in storeroom function, the same function the ML45D uses, where the outside lever is controlled electronically and the inside lever stays free for egress. The ML45D differs in that it is a Best 45H series chassis and is ordered in Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure, at 12V or 24V, with 3H, 14H, or 15H trim.
9) I need an ANSI Grade 1 electrified mortise lock for a spec that calls out a grade. What are my options?
Two peers carry a published Grade 1 rating: the SDC 7600 Series, a motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control fitting 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage L9050BDC, an L Series heavy duty Grade 1 mortise entrance/office lock with a disposable SFIC cylinder for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Command Access ML45D is a heavy-duty electrified mortise chassis in storeroom function; if the drawing requires a stated grade, the SDC 7600 keeps electrified operation while satisfying it.
10) Does the Schlage L9050BDC do the same job as the ML45D storeroom function?
No. The Schlage L9050BDC is an entrance/office function lock, single cylinder and non-deadbolt, which means the outside lever can be left unlocked or locked by the occupant. The Command Access ML45D is a storeroom function lock: the outside lever is locked electronically and retracts the latchbolt only by outside key or by the inside lever, with the inside lever always free for egress. If the room must stay secure whenever the door closes, the office function is not a substitute.
11) What do I have to specify when ordering a Command Access ML45D?
Five choices: fail safe or fail secure, 12V or 24V, switch option (REX, LBM, DPS or none), trim design (3H, 14H or 15H), and finish. Finish is 626 satin chrome. Because it is a chassis-only lock, budget separately for the cylinder, the power supply and the transfer hinge or door loop that gets power into the door.
12) Is the ML45D suitable for a high traffic door in a school or hospital?
It is built as a commercial heavy-duty mortise lock, which is the class of lock used on classroom wings, clinical corridors, retail back-of-house and multi-tenant residential service doors. Continuous duty solenoids matter here: they tolerate being held energized through a long scheduled unlock period rather than only momentary pulses.
13) Is the SDC 7600 a drop-in substitute for the Command Access ML45D?
They are not interchangeable in the way a solenoid-for-solenoid swap would be. The SDC 7600 Series is a motorized latch retraction mortise lockset run from 24VDC control, so the latchbolt is pulled by a motor and the power supply must suit that draw. The Command Access ML45D is a solenoid-driven Best 45H series chassis offered at 12V or 24V, in Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure, with optional REX, LBM, or DPS switches. Confirm the existing power supply and the door prep before treating either as a replacement for the other.
14) Which electrified mortise lock holds up best on a high-abuse door where levers get forced?
The SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is built for that concern specifically, as a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch on 1-3/4 inch doors, so force on the locked lever turns the clutch rather than loading the chassis. The Command Access ML45D is a heavy-duty electrified mortise lock in storeroom function with continuous duty solenoids for continuously-on fail safe or unlock-cycle operation; it addresses duty cycle rather than lever abuse.
15) I need latchbolt and door status feedback back to the access control panel. Which lock gives me that?
The Command Access ML45D can be ordered with a monitoring switch built in: REX for request to exit, LBM for latchbolt monitor, or DPS for door position, alongside the Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure choice and 12V or 24V operation. Among the peers, the DynaLock EML-1 and SDC 7800 PRO are electrified mortise locks in the same category but their published data covers function and series rather than an onboard switch option, so verify switch content separately if you go that route.
16) Can I get the ML45D in oil rubbed bronze or satin nickel to match the other doors in my building?
Satin chrome (626) is the finish offered on the ML45D. If the rest of your openings are brass or bronze, the practical route is to keep the Command Access chassis inside the door and match the visible trim and cylinder separately, since the chassis itself is concealed in the door edge.
