Command Access ML480EL 03 626 24V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Command Access ML480 a modified Schlage L9000 mortise lock, or a different lock body entirely?
It is a complete Schlage L9000 series mortise lock that Command Access electrifies, not a standalone body. So the door prep, lever trim and general footprint are the L9000 mortise standard you already have on your openings, with a solenoid added inside for remote release. The function is entry with deadbolt.
2) Should I order the ML480 fail safe or fail secure for a stairwell door?
Both configurations are offered. Fail safe unlocks the lever when power drops, which is what most stairwell re-entry and egress-control schemes call for so people are not trapped in the stair on an alarm. Fail secure keeps the lever locked without power, which is what you want on a computer room, data closet or any opening that must stay secure through an outage. Pick based on your life-safety drawing, not on habit, and note that a fail safe lock is energized most of the time, which is why the continuous duty solenoid matters.
3) How much current does the ML480 draw, and will my access control power supply handle it?
Draw is 700mA at 12V or 350mA at 24V, 8 watts either way. Size your supply on that figure per door and add up every lock on the circuit, because a fail safe install holds that current continuously rather than only on release. The lock takes 12 or 24VAC/DC within plus or minus 10 percent, and a plug-in bridge rectifier lets you feed it AC or DC.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering a Command Access ML480?
Five things: fail safe or fail secure, voltage (12V or 24V), lever style (03, 06 or 17), finish (613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 polished chrome, or 626 satin chrome), and whether you want a monitoring switch. Switch options are LBM latchbolt monitor, REX request-to-exit, or none. Get the lever and finish to match the rest of the building, and get the switch decided before you order because it is built into the lock, not added later.
5) Can I standardize the ML480 across a building where some doors are already Schlage L9050?
Yes, and that is the usual reason to pick it. The ML480 is a complete Schlage L9000 series lock, and the Schlage L9050BDC entrance/office mortise lock is the same L Series heavy-duty Grade 1 platform without electrification. Use the L9050 on doors that only need mechanical key and lever control, and the ML480 on the doors the access control system has to release, and the trim and door prep stay consistent across the floor.
6) I need an electrified mortise lock for a stairwell door with storeroom function instead of entry/deadbolt - what should I use?
The Command Access ML480 is built for entry/deadbolt function, so for a storeroom opening look at the DynaLock EML-1 electrified mortise lock, which is supplied in storeroom function. Both are electrified mortise locks; the difference is the lock function at the door, which decides whether the lever is always locked from outside or works as an office/entry set with a deadbolt.
7) What is the difference between the Command Access ML480 and the Schlage L9050BDC mortise lock?
The Command Access ML480 is an electrified mortise lock with entry/deadbolt function that runs on 12 or 24VAC/DC with continuous duty solenoids, so it can be released remotely from an access control system in either fail safe or fail secure configuration. The Schlage L9050BDC is a mechanical Grade 1 heavy duty mortise entrance/office lock, single cylinder non-deadbolt function with a disposable SFIC, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose the ML480 when the opening needs remote keyless access and egress control; the L9050BDC covers the same entrance/office duty at the door with key and lever only.
8) Can I run the ML480 off an AC transformer, or does it need DC?
Either works. The lock ships with a plug-in bridge rectifier, so you can land 12 or 24 volts AC or DC on it without a separate converter. That is useful on retrofits where the existing door circuit is an AC transformer left from older hardware.
9) Do I need the REX or latchbolt monitor option on an electrified mortise lock?
Depends on what your panel needs to see. REX (request-to-exit) signals the access control system that someone turned the inside lever to leave, so the system shunts the door alarm instead of logging a forced entry. LBM (latchbolt monitor) reports that the latch is actually thrown into the strike, which is what you want where you have to prove the door secured behind the last person. If the panel only needs to release the lock and nothing more, order it with no switch.
10) What is the difference between the ML480 and an SDC motorized latch retraction mortise lock?
Different mechanisms for different jobs. The ML480 uses a continuous duty solenoid to control the lever, so the latch stays projected and the lock simply gives you access on a credential. The SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction lockset on 24VDC control, which physically pulls the latch back, and it is fitted for 1-3/4 inch doors. If your spec calls for the latch to retract for a push-pull or hands-free opening, that is the 7600. For standard electric access control on an entry/deadbolt opening, the ML480 is the simpler route.
11) Is the ML480 heavy enough for a high-traffic school or hospital corridor door?
It is classed heavy-duty commercial and built on the Schlage L9000 mortise platform, which is what these buildings already run on corridor and classroom openings. Command Access lists it for stairwells, lobbies, classrooms and computer rooms, and across education, healthcare, government and multi-tenant residential. The continuous duty solenoid is the part that matters for traffic like that, since it tolerates being held energized all day on a fail safe door.
12) Is a motorized latch retraction mortise lock like the SDC 7600 an equivalent to the Command Access ML480?
They solve the same access control problem by different means. The SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control for 1-3/4 inch doors - the motor pulls the latch back. The Command Access ML480 uses continuous duty solenoids and accepts either 12 or 24VAC/DC through a plug-in bridge rectifier, and is offered fail safe or fail secure. If your power supply and panel are 24VDC only, both fit; if the system runs 12V or AC, the ML480's dual voltage and rectifier cover it.
13) Which electrified mortise lock should I specify for a high-abuse door where the lever gets forced?
For openings where the outside lever takes abuse, the SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Command Access ML480 is also solenoid driven, using continuous duty solenoids on 12 or 24VAC/DC, and adds entry/deadbolt function with optional latchbolt monitor or request-to-exit switching. Pick the 7800 PRO for the clutch; pick the ML480 when you need the deadbolt function or the monitoring switch built into the lock.
14) I already have Schlage L9000 trim on my doors - can I stay with that lever family and still get electrified control?
Yes. The Command Access ML480 is a complete electrified mortise lock built on the Schlage L9000 series platform, offered in 03, 06 and 17 lever styles and 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 polished chrome and 626 satin chrome, so it matches an existing L Series opening such as one fitted with the Schlage L9050BDC entrance/office lock while adding 12 or 24VAC/DC remote release.
15) What finishes does the Command Access ML480 come in, and will it match existing chrome hardware?
Three finishes: 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 polished chrome, and 626 satin chrome. If the rest of your building is on 626 satin chrome, which is the most common commercial finish, order 626 and the levers will match the mechanical locks on the adjacent doors. Lever style still has to match separately, and you have 03, 06 and 17 to choose from.
16) Is a solenoid mortise lock like the ML480 a better choice than a clutch-type electrified lock?
They solve the same access problem differently. The ML480 drives a continuous duty solenoid to control the lever and takes 12 or 24VAC/DC at 8 watts. The SDC Selectric 7800 PRO is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, built for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the clutch is the argument where levers get forced or abused, since the outside lever spins free instead of transmitting the load. On a normal office or classroom opening the ML480 on the L9000 platform keeps you consistent with existing Schlage hardware.
