Command Access MRC121 Electrified Mortise Lock Retrofit Chassis with Institutional Function and 12/24V Operation

Professional Electrified Mortise Lock Retrofit Solution

The Command Access MRC121 electrified mortise lock retrofit chassis delivers institutional function operation for Falcon MA Series applications. This Grade 1 chassis operates on 12 or 24VAC/DC with 700 mA at 12V or 350 mA at 24V, featuring fail secure operation where both outside and inside levers are simultaneously unlocked electronically. Built with continuous duty solenoids and field reversible handing, this chassis provides reliable access control for demanding commercial environments.

Professional Features & Benefits

  • Dual Voltage Operation: 12 or 24VAC/DC (+or- 10%) with 700 mA at 12V or 350 mA at 24V for flexible power system integration.
  • Fail Secure Configuration: Outside and inside levers simultaneously unlocked electronically with switched power allowing both levers to retract latchbolt for secure access control.
  • Grade 1 Construction: High quality chassis built to withstand years of heavy-duty commercial use with continuous duty solenoids.
  • Continuous Duty Design: Solenoids allow for "continuously on" applications including fail safe or unlock cycle operations.
  • Field Reversible Handing: Adaptable installation configuration reduces inventory requirements and simplifies field modifications.
  • Universal Power Compatibility: Plug-in bridge rectifier allows for AC or DC power source supplied with all locks.
  • Low Power Consumption: 8 watts power consumption with low current draw for efficient operation.
  • Manufacturer Warranty: 3 Year Warranty for added confidence and protection.

Command Access MRC111EL 24V 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Command Access MRC121 retrofit into a Falcon MA Series mortise lock?
That is exactly what the MRC121 is built for. It is a retrofit chassis for Falcon MA Series mortise locks, so the existing case pocket, trim and cylinder stay in place and only the chassis is swapped to add electric control. It is sold as chassis only, so you are reusing the Falcon trim and cylinder already on the door.
2) Does the MRC121 run on 12V or 24V, and how much current does it draw?
Both. The MRC121 chassis takes 12 or 24VAC/DC within plus or minus 10 percent, drawing 700 mA at 12V or 350 mA at 24V, about 8 watts. A plug-in bridge rectifier ships with the lock, so an AC or a DC supply both work. Voltage is an ordering choice, with 12V and 24V versions offered.
3) What happens to the MRC121 lock when the power drops?
Depends which one you order. Fail-secure and fail-safe versions are both available. Fail secure means the levers stay locked with no power and unlock only when power is switched on; fail safe releases on power loss. The solenoids are continuous duty, so a fail safe or a long unlock-cycle application is within spec rather than something that will cook the coil.
4) What is the difference between the Command Access MRC121 institutional function and a storeroom function electrified mortise lock like the DynaLock EML-1?
The MRC121 is an institutional function chassis: outside and inside levers are unlocked simultaneously by switched power, so both levers can retract the latchbolt when energized. The DynaLock EML Series EML-1 is a storeroom function electrified mortise lock, where the inside lever is always free for egress and the outside lever is the controlled side. Institutional function is used where both sides are to be electrically controlled, such as detention-style or secured corridor openings; storeroom function suits the more common single-sided access control opening.
5) If the Falcon MA mortise lock body is damaged and cannot be reused, what complete electrified mortise lockset can go in instead of the MRC121 chassis?
The Command Access MRC121 is a retrofit chassis that goes inside an existing Falcon MA Series mortise lock body, so it assumes the original lock case is sound. When the case itself has to be replaced, a complete electrified mortise lockset is the route: the SDC 7800 PRO Series is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, and the SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control. Both are specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. Choosing either means a full lock case swap and new door prep verification rather than a chassis-only retrofit.
6) Do I need to order the MRC121 chassis by hand?
No. Handing is field reversible on the chassis, so one part covers left and right hand openings. That keeps a single spare on the shelf for a building with doors swinging both ways.
7) Is the MRC121 heavy duty enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It is a Grade 1 chassis rated commercial heavy duty, with continuous duty solenoids. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA tier for commercial locks and the usual specification for education, healthcare and government openings.
8) The opening does not need electric control at all - what mechanical Grade 1 mortise lock can replace the MRC121?
The MRC121 is an electrified chassis running on 12 or 24VAC/DC at 700 mA at 12V or 350 mA at 24V, which means power to the door, a transfer hinge or cord, and an access control source. If the opening only needs keyed entry with no electrification, the Schlage L9050BDC is a Grade 1 heavy duty L Series mortise entrance/office lock, single cylinder non-deadbolt function with a disposable SFIC, for 1-3/4 inch doors. It requires no wiring and no power supply.
9) Can the SDC 7600 motorized latch retraction mortise lock be used where an MRC121 is specified?
They solve different problems. The MRC121 chassis controls the levers electrically - switched power unlocks both levers so they can retract the latchbolt - and it runs on 12 or 24VAC/DC. The SDC 7600 Series is a motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control, meaning the motor pulls the latchbolt back electrically for remote release or hold-open of the latch. If the access control design calls for lever control rather than powered latch retraction, the two are not interchangeable. The 7600 is also a complete Grade 1 lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, not a chassis dropped into an existing Falcon MA case.
10) For a school or healthcare corridor with heavy abuse, is there a mortise lock with more vandal resistance than the MRC121 chassis?
The MRC121 is a heavy-duty commercial chassis with Grade 1 construction and continuous duty solenoids, rated for institutional use. Where lever abuse is the main concern, the SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is a solenoid controlled mortise lock built with a vandal resistant clutch, which lets the outside lever rotate freely without transmitting force to the lock mechanism. The 7800 is a complete lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it replaces the lock case rather than retrofitting a Falcon MA body the way the MRC121 does.
11) What finish does the MRC121 chassis come in?
626 satin chrome, on every version. Since this is a chassis only and the Falcon trim and lever stay on the door, the chassis finish sits inside the door and does not change how the opening looks.
