Command Access ML70EL 03 626 24V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Command Access ML70 electrified mortise lock drop into an existing Schlage L9000 mortise prep?
Yes. The ML70 is built on the Schlage L9000 mortise platform, so it uses the same mortise pocket and trim prep as an L9000 lock. That makes it a straightforward swap when you are electrifying an opening that already carries an L-Series mortise body and you do not want to re-prep the door.
2) Should I order the ML70 fail-safe or fail-secure for a classroom lockdown application?
Both are offered, and the choice comes down to what you want the door to do when power drops. Fail-safe is electrically locked, so the lever unlocks on power loss. Fail-secure is electrically unlocked, so it stays locked when power is lost. For classroom lockdown where the door must remain secure through a power failure, fail-secure is the usual pick; fail-safe is used where free egress or free access on power loss is required by the life safety plan. Either way, this is a classroom function lock, so the outside lever is controlled and the inside lever always retracts the latch for egress.
3) What voltage and current does the Command Access ML70 mortise lock need from my power supply?
It runs on 12 or 24VAC/DC within plus or minus 10 percent, drawing 700mA at 12V or 350mA at 24V, which works out to 8 watts. Size the supply for that draw per door, and remember the solenoids are built for continuous duty, so a fail-safe install that sits energized all day is within design. A plug-in bridge rectifier is included so the lock accepts either AC or DC.
4) Can I get request-to-exit or latchbolt monitoring built into the ML70 lock?
Yes, and it is an order-time choice rather than a field add. The ML70 can be specified with REX (request-to-exit) signalling, with LBM (latchbolt monitor), or with no switch at all. REX is what you want if the access control panel needs to shunt an alarm when someone turns the inside lever; LBM reports latch position back to the head end. Pick the switch when you order, since it is wired into the lock body.
5) What lever styles and finishes does the Command Access ML70 come in for matching the rest of my building?
Lever choices are 03, 06 and 17, which are the standard Schlage L-Series lever designations, so you can match levers already hanging on other openings. Finishes are 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 polished chrome and 626 satin chrome. For a school or office standardizing hardware, 626 satin chrome is the common commercial default.
6) Is the ML70 electrified mortise lock heavy enough for a high-traffic school corridor?
It is a commercial, heavy-duty mortise lock, not a residential or light-commercial product, and the solenoids are specified for continuously on duty rather than intermittent pulsing. That combination is what holds up on classroom and corridor doors that get cycled hundreds of times a day and sit energized for long stretches.
7) What is the difference between the Command Access ML70 and a motorized latch retraction mortise lock like the SDC 7600?
The ML70 is solenoid driven, running on 12 or 24VAC/DC at 8 watts, with the outside lever electrically controlled. The SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset controlled at 24VDC, which actually pulls the latch back rather than just releasing the lever, and it is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Motor latch retraction is what you use when the latchbolt itself has to withdraw for automatic operators or remote pull-open; lever control like the ML70 is the choice for standard keyless entry on a manually opened door.
8) I need a storeroom function electrified mortise lock, not classroom. What else do you carry?
The ML70 is a classroom function lock, so the inside lever always allows egress and the outside lever is electrically controlled. If you need storeroom function instead, where the outside lever is always locked and entry is by key or credential only, look at the DynaLock EML-1 Series electrified mortise lock, which is catalogued as storeroom function.
9) Can I run the ML70 mortise lock off an AC transformer, or does it need a DC supply?
Either works. A plug-in bridge rectifier ships with the lock, so it accepts AC or DC at 12 or 24 volts within plus or minus 10 percent. That matters on retrofit jobs where there is an existing AC transformer in the closet and you would rather not add a DC supply.
10) If I do not need electric control on the opening, what non-electrified mortise lock matches this prep?
For an opening that does not need access control, the Schlage L9050BDC mortise entrance/office lock sits on the same L Series platform, Grade 1, heavy duty, and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors with a disposable SFIC core. It is single cylinder non-deadbolt function. That keeps the door prep and trim consistent with the electrified ML70 openings elsewhere in the building.
11) Which electrified mortise lock offers a vandal resistant clutch as an alternative to the Command Access ML70?
The SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Command Access ML70 is also solenoid controlled, built on the Schlage L9000 mortise platform in classroom function with fail-safe or fail-secure operation and optional latchbolt monitor or request-to-exit switches. For abuse-prone openings such as school corridors, the clutch mechanism in the 7800 is the differentiator; the ML70 differentiates on the L9000 chassis and its monitoring switch options.
12) Which electrified mortise locks are rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and how does the Command Access ML70 fit that?
The SDC 7600 Series and SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series are both listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, as is the mechanical Schlage L9050BDC. The Command Access ML70 is built on the Schlage L9000 mortise platform, the same chassis family as the L9050BDC, and is specified as a heavy-duty commercial mortise lock. For a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door, all of these are mortise-prep products; the choice comes down to whether you need solenoid control, motorized latch retraction, or purely mechanical operation.
13) I need request-to-exit signaling from the lock itself - which mortise lock provides it?
The Command Access ML70 is offered with an optional request-to-exit switch or a latchbolt monitor switch built into the lock, in 12V or 24V, fail-safe or fail-secure, with 03, 06, or 17 lever styles in oil rubbed bronze, polished chrome, or satin chrome. Among the alternatives, the SDC 7600 is a motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control and the DynaLock EML-1 is a storeroom function electrified mortise lock, so if onboard REX or latch monitoring is part of the access control sequence, the ML70 configuration is the one to specify.
14) Do I still get mechanical key override with the Command Access ML70 classroom lock?
The ML70 is a complete electrified mortise lock body on the Schlage L9000 platform, so it accepts the same cylinder and trim arrangement as that platform and retains mechanical operation alongside the electric lever control. If the access control system is down, the opening still works off the key and the inside lever.
