Command Access ML82EL 03 626 24V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Command Access ML82 to electrify an existing Schlage L9000 mortise opening?
That's exactly what the ML82 is built around. It's a complete electrified mortise lock compatible with the Schlage L9000 series, so an opening already prepped for an L9000 mortise case takes it without new door prep. You order it as a complete lock, not as a retrofit kit dropped into your existing case. Institutional function (asylum/institution/utility), so it's a different function than a standard office or entry lock.
2) Should I order the ML82 fail-safe or fail-secure for a stairwell door?
Both configurations are offered, and the choice comes down to what happens when power drops. Fail-safe is electrically locked, so it unlocks on power loss. Fail-secure is electrically unlocked, so it stays locked when power drops. Stairwell re-entry schemes normally want fail-safe so people can get back onto the floor if the building loses power; a computer room or storage door where you never want the door free on a power failure wants fail-secure. Egress from the lock side is by lever either way.
3) How much current does the Command Access ML82 electrified mortise lock draw, and can I run it off my existing 24V supply?
The ML82 runs on 12 or 24VAC/DC with a +/- 10 percent tolerance, so a nominal 24V supply is fine. Draw is 350 mA at 24V or 700 mA at 12V, 8 watts either way. A plug-in bridge rectifier is included, which is why it accepts AC as well as DC power. Size the supply for the total number of locks on the circuit at 350 mA each on 24V.
4) Do I need a separate request-to-exit switch with the Command Access ML82, or can I get it built in?
You can get it built into the lock. The ML82 is ordered with either a REX (request-to-exit) switch, an LBM latchbolt monitor, or no switch at all. REX signals your access control panel when someone turns the lever to leave, which suppresses a forced-door alarm on egress. LBM tells the panel whether the latchbolt is actually thrown, which is what you want when the head end needs to know the door truly secured. Pick the switch when you order; it is not something added later in the field.
5) I need an electrified mortise lock in storeroom function, not institutional. What should I look at instead of the ML82?
The ML82 is built in asylum/institution/utility function, which is a specialized function and not what you want for a plain storeroom door. The DynaLock EML-1, from the EML Series, is an electrified mortise lock in storeroom function. For a non-electrified entrance/office lock on the same kind of opening, the Schlage L9050BDC is a Grade 1 single cylinder non-deadbolt mortise lock with a disposable SFIC core, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Command Access ML82 electrified mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The DynaLock EML-1, from the EML series, is the nearest peer as an electrified mortise lock, but the function differs: the EML-1 is a storeroom function lock, while the ML82 is built on an asylum/institution/utility function. If the opening needs storeroom behavior rather than institutional function, the EML-1 is the direct match; if the institutional function is what the door was specified for, the ML82 is the one that holds it. Both are electrified mortise locks intended for commercial door hardware.
7) If a door schedule calls for a Grade 1 electrified mortise lock, what should be used instead of the ML82?
The SDC 7600 Series is the choice when the drawing states Grade 1 outright: it is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control, fitting a 1-3/4 inch door. The ML82 is a heavy-duty electrified mortise lock built to an asylum/institution/utility function with 12V or 24V options, so it answers the function and voltage line on a schedule rather than a stated ANSI grade. On a project where the spec writer wrote a grade, the 7600 carries it on paper.
8) Can a Schlage L9050BDC be used in place of a Command Access ML82?
No - the Schlage L9050BDC is a mechanical mortise lock, a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder non-deadbolt entrance/office function with disposable SFIC, on a 1-3/4 inch door. It has no electrification. The ML82 is an electrified mortise lock with 12 or 24VAC/DC operation and fail-safe or fail-secure options. The two share the L Series mortise footprint, so an L9050BDC opening can later take an electrified lock, but the L9050BDC itself will not answer an access control signal.
9) We standardized on Schlage L Series mortise locks. What electrified lock drops into that same prep?
The Command Access ML82 is designed as a complete lock compatible with Schlage L9000 series mortise systems, which is what makes it fit a facility already standardized on the L Series - the same family the Schlage L9050BDC belongs to. The difference is function and power: the L9050BDC is a mechanical entrance/office single cylinder non-deadbolt lock, while the ML82 adds 12 or 24VAC/DC operation with fail-safe or fail-secure and an asylum/institution/utility function. Finishes on the ML82 are 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 polished chrome, and 626 satin chrome for matching the existing doors.
10) Is a storeroom function electrified mortise lock the same thing as an institutional function one?
They are not interchangeable. The DynaLock EML-1 is a storeroom function electrified mortise lock, where the outside lever stays locked and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. The Command Access ML82 carries an asylum/institution/utility function, which controls both sides of the opening and is what gets specified for institutional and healthcare facilities, stairwell access, and secure interior rooms. Confirm which function the door schedule calls out before substituting one for the other, because the egress behavior differs.
11) Will the ML82 hold up on a door that stays unlocked all day?
Yes, and that is the point of the solenoid design. The ML82 uses continuous duty solenoids rated for continuously on applications, including fail-safe operation and long unlock cycles, so an access control schedule that holds a lobby or classroom door unlocked through business hours will not cook it. Intermittent duty solenoids in other locks are not rated for that.
12) What lever styles and finishes does the Command Access ML82 come in for matching existing openings?
Three lever styles, 03, 06 and 17, in three finishes: 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 polished chrome, and 626 satin chrome. Those are the Schlage L9000 lever designations, which matters if you are adding an electrified opening to a building already standardized on L9000 trim, since the lever and finish can be matched to the mechanical locks on the rest of the doors. 626 satin chrome is the usual institutional default.
13) What is the difference between the Command Access ML82 and an SDC 7600 motorized latch retraction mortise lock?
Different way of controlling the door. The ML82 is a solenoid lock, 12 or 24VAC/DC, that electrically controls the outside lever in fail-safe or fail-secure. The SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction lockset on 24VDC control, which pulls the latch itself back so the door can be pushed open with no lever operation at all, the setup you want for automatic operators and hands-free openings. SDC lists the 7600 for 1-3/4 inch doors. If you just need remote lock and unlock on a lever, the ML82 is the simpler electrical load.
14) Can I power the Command Access ML82 from an AC transformer, or does it need a DC supply?
Either works. The lock is supplied with a plug-in bridge rectifier, so it accepts AC or DC at 12 or 24 volts. That means an existing AC transformer feeding other door hardware can carry it without adding a separate DC power supply. Tolerance is +/- 10 percent on the nominal voltage.
15) What is the difference between a solenoid-controlled electrified mortise lock and a motorized latch retraction mortise lock?
The SDC 7600 Series uses motorized latch retraction with 24VDC control, which physically pulls the latch back on signal. The SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is solenoid controlled with a vandal resistant clutch. The Command Access ML82 runs on continuous duty solenoids at 12 or 24VAC/DC and offers fail-safe or fail-secure configurations, so it is in the solenoid family alongside the 7800. Where an integrator wants latch retraction on signal rather than lever control, the 7600 is the different mechanism.
16) For a school or dormitory opening that is getting abused, is there a mortise lock built to take more handle abuse than the ML82?
The SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is the one built around that problem - it is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Command Access ML82 is a heavy-duty electrified mortise lock with an asylum/institution/utility function and continuous duty solenoids, and it comes with 03, 06, and 17 lever styles. Where the lever itself is what keeps getting forced, the clutch mechanism on the 7800 is the distinguishing feature.
17) Which electrified mortise lock should be specified when the panel only supplies 24VDC?
Both work, but they arrive at it differently. The SDC 7600 Series is a 24VDC control motorized latch retraction lockset, so it is a single-voltage device. The Command Access ML82 is ordered as either a 12V or 24V unit and runs on 12 or 24VAC/DC with a plug-in bridge rectifier, drawing 350 mA at 24V. On a straight 24VDC panel, order the ML82 in the 24V configuration and the voltage question is settled.
18) Which electrified mortise lock reports door status back to the access control panel?
The Command Access ML82 can be ordered with a latchbolt monitor (LBM) or a request-to-exit (REX) switch built in, or with no switch at all. Among the electrified mortise peers, the DynaLock EML-1 is cataloged as a storeroom function EML series lock and the SDC 7600 as a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction lockset with 24VDC control - each identified by its locking mechanism rather than by an onboard monitoring option. If the panel needs latch status or a valid egress signal from the lock body, order the ML82 with LBM or REX at the time of purchase.
19) Is the Command Access ML82 suitable for a school classroom or a healthcare corridor door?
Those are among the applications it is built for. The ML82 is a heavy-duty commercial electrified mortise lock intended for institutional and healthcare facilities, classrooms and educational buildings, stairwells, lobbies, computer rooms, government buildings, and interior or exterior doors. The institutional function plus the latchbolt monitor option is why it turns up in facilities that need the head end to know a door's real status.
