Command Access ML80EL 03A 626 24V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between fail safe and fail secure on an electrified mortise lock, and which should I order for a stairwell?
The ML80 is ordered one way or the other, so pick before you buy. Fail safe is electrically locked, meaning power holds it locked and it unlocks when power drops. Fail secure is electrically unlocked, so it stays locked when power is lost. Stairwell doors are typically fail safe so people can re-enter the floor during an alarm or outage, while computer rooms and secure storage are usually fail secure so a power loss never opens the door. The lock uses continuous duty solenoids, so it can sit energized indefinitely in either configuration.
2) How much power does the Command Access ML80 mortise lock draw, and can I run it off my existing 24VDC supply?
The ML80 runs on 12 or 24VAC/DC within plus or minus 10 percent, and it includes a plug-in bridge rectifier so an AC or a DC supply both work. Draw is 8 watts total: 700 mA at 12V, 350 mA at 24V. Size the supply on that number and remember the solenoid is continuous duty, so on a fail safe door it is pulling that current all day, not just at the moment of release. Order the voltage you need, 12V or 24V.
3) Does a storeroom function mortise lock let people out during a fire?
Yes. Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked and is retracted by key or by the electric release, while the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. That is why it is the usual choice for stairwells, computer rooms and classroom corridors on access control. Nobody gets trapped behind it regardless of whether the ML80 is wired fail safe or fail secure.
4) Do I need a request-to-exit or latchbolt monitor switch with an electrified mortise lock?
Only if your access control panel needs to see the door. The ML80 can be ordered with REX (request-to-exit), which signals the panel when the inside lever is turned so a legitimate exit does not trip a forced-door alarm, or with LBM (latchbolt monitor), which reports whether the latch is actually thrown so you know the door truly secured. You can also order it with neither. These switches are built into the lock at the factory, so decide at order time rather than trying to add them later.
5) Is the ML80 a complete lockset or just an electrified retrofit kit for a mortise case I already have?
It ships as a complete lock. The ML80 is a full electrified mortise lock assembly with lever and rose, not a solenoid kit you drop into an existing case, and it comes with installation instructions and a technical cutsheet. You still supply the cylinder and keying to suit your system, plus the low voltage power and the wire transfer at the hinge.
6) Is the Schlage L9050BDC a substitute for the Command Access ML80 electrified mortise lock?
No, and it is the most common mix-up because both sit on the Schlage L platform. The Schlage L9050BDC is a mortise entrance/office lock, single cylinder non-deadbolt function, supplied with a disposable SFIC, Grade 1 and heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors. It is a mechanical lock - there is nothing in it for an access control panel to talk to. The Command Access ML80 is an electrified mortise lock that runs on 12 or 24VAC/DC with a plug-in bridge rectifier and 8 watts of consumption, on the Schlage L9000 mortise platform. If the opening is being tied into card readers or a remote release, the L9050BDC will not do it; if the opening is a plain office door with no wiring, the electrified lock is more hardware than the job needs.
7) What is an equivalent electrified mortise lock to the Command Access ML80 with storeroom function?
The DynaLock EML-1 is the closest straight equivalent. It is an EML Series electrified mortise lock built for storeroom function, the same function the Command Access ML80 carries. Both are electrified mortise locks rather than surface-mounted devices, so both need a mortise pocket already prepped in the door. Where they differ is in how the lock is ordered around the door package: the ML80 is configured across fail-safe and fail-secure builds, 12V and 24V, and finishes 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 polished chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel, so if you are matching an existing set of levers and finishes on adjacent openings, work from that axis first.
8) What should I use instead of the Command Access ML80 if the opening needs motorized latch retraction rather than a solenoid?
Look at the SDC 7600 Series, a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control, fitted to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Command Access ML80 uses continuous duty solenoids, which is what lets it sit continuously energized in a fail safe or extended unlock condition. The SDC 7600 instead retracts the latch by motor on a 24VDC signal, which is the behavior you want when the access control system is calling for momentary latch retraction on an entrance. Both are mortise locksets, so the door prep conversation is similar; the difference is what the electrification actually does when energized.
9) If I am replacing a mechanical Schlage L Series mortise lock and want to add remote release, what do I order?
The Command Access ML80 is the upgrade path that keeps the platform. It is built on the Schlage L9000 series mortise lock body and comes as a complete lock, so the mortise pocket and trim conversation stays on the same family as the mechanical Schlage L Series you are taking out - the L9050BDC, for example, is an L Series Grade 1 heavy duty mortise entrance/office lock for 1-3/4 inch doors. The ML80 adds 12 or 24VAC/DC operation with fail safe or fail secure configuration, so the opening can be released remotely. Match the finish and lever from the ML80 range - 03, 06, or 17 lever on an A rose in 613, 625, 626, or 630 - to whatever is already on the neighboring doors.
10) What is the difference between a solenoid electrified mortise lock and a motorized latch retraction mortise lock?
The ML80 uses continuous duty solenoids to control the outside lever, so it can hold energized for long unlock periods and draws a steady 8 watts while it does. A motor driven lockset instead pulls the latch back with a motor, which cuts holding current and is quieter, but it is a different platform. If that is what your spec calls for, the SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset on 24VDC control for 1-3/4 inch doors. The SDC Selectric 7800 PRO is another solenoid controlled mortise lock, also for 1-3/4 inch doors, with a vandal resistant clutch on the outside lever, worth looking at where the door takes abuse.
11) I do not need electric control on this door, what mortise lock should I use instead?
Skip the electrified lock entirely and buy a mechanical mortise lock. The Schlage L9050BDC is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise lock in the same L Series family, entrance/office function, single cylinder non-deadbolt, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Since the ML80 is built on the L9000 platform, the door prep is the same, so a building can carry mechanical L Series on most openings and the ML80 only where access control actually runs.
12) What other electrified storeroom mortise locks are there besides Command Access?
The DynaLock EML-1 is another electrified mortise lock in storeroom function. On the solenoid controlled side, the SDC Selectric 7800 PRO adds a vandal resistant clutch, and the SDC 7600 Series is Grade 1 with motorized latch retraction on 24VDC for 1-3/4 inch doors. What separates the Command Access ML80 is that it is an L9000 platform lock, so if the building is already standardized on Schlage L Series prep and levers, it is the swap that changes nothing about the door.
13) Which electrified mortise lock holds up best against abuse on a high-traffic entrance, the Command Access ML80 or the SDC 7800?
The SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors. That clutch is the point of difference: it is designed so force applied to the lever when the lock is secure does not carry back into the mechanism. The Command Access ML80 is a heavy-duty commercial lock on the Schlage L9000 mortise platform with continuous duty solenoids, and it is specified for stairwell doors, lobby entrances, computer rooms, and classrooms. Both are solenoid controlled mortise locks. If the opening is a public-facing lobby or a school corridor where levers get pulled on, the vandal resistant clutch is the feature to weigh; if you are standardizing against existing Schlage L9000 prep and trim, the ML80 keeps that platform.
14) I need door position and exit signaling at the opening - does the Command Access ML80 cover that, or do I add a separate device?
The Command Access ML80 is ordered with an optional switch built into the lock: LBM latchbolt monitor, REX request-to-exit, or none. That keeps the signaling inside the mortise case instead of adding a separate contact or an armored loop for a second device. Among the alternatives, the SDC 7600 is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control and the SDC 7800 is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch - both for 1-3/4 inch doors. If your panel needs to know that the latch is thrown or that someone exited on the lever, specify the ML80 with LBM or REX at order time rather than sorting it out at install.
15) My access control system only provides 24VDC - which of these mortise locks fits that supply?
The Command Access ML80 is ordered in 12V or 24V and runs on 12 or 24VAC/DC plus or minus 10 percent through a plug-in bridge rectifier, drawing 8 watts total at 12V = 700 mA or 24V = 350 mA. On a 24VDC-only supply the 24V build is the one to specify, and the 350 mA figure is what you size the power supply and the run against. The SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control, so it also matches a 24VDC panel, but it retracts the latch by motor rather than holding on a continuous duty solenoid the way the ML80 does.
16) Is the Command Access ML80 rated for high traffic openings like a lobby or a school corridor?
It is a heavy-duty commercial lock, not a residential or light commercial one, and the L9000 mortise platform under it is what gets specified for lobby entrances, stairwells, classrooms, computer rooms and healthcare controlled areas. Mortise construction puts the whole lock body inside the door edge, which is why it holds up on doors that cycle all day where a bored cylindrical lock would not.
