Command Access MRC181 Electrified Mortise Lock Retrofit Chassis with 12/24V Operation and Storeroom Function

Professional Electrified Mortise Lock Retrofit Solution

The Command Access MRC181 electrified mortise lock retrofit chassis delivers Grade 1 performance for Falcon MA Series applications with fail secure operation. This heavy-duty chassis operates on 12 or 24VAC/DC with low current draw of 700 mA at 12V or 350 mA at 24V, featuring field reversible handing and continuous duty solenoids for reliable access control integration.

Professional Features & Benefits

  • Dual Voltage Operation: 12 or 24VAC/DC (+/- 10%) with plug-in bridge rectifier for flexible power source compatibility.
  • Low Power Consumption: 8 watts total power draw with efficient 700 mA at 12V or 350 mA at 24V current requirements.
  • Grade 1 Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand years of commercial use with continuous duty solenoids for demanding applications.
  • Fail Secure Operation: Outside lever unlocked electronically with switched power allowing outside lever to retract latchbolt while inside lever remains free for egress.
  • Field Reversible Handing: Adaptable installation for left or right hand door configurations without additional components.
  • Continuous Duty Design: Solenoids rated for "continuously on" applications including fail safe or extended unlock cycles.
  • Falcon MA Series Compatibility: Specifically engineered as retrofit chassis for existing Falcon MA Series mortise lock installations.
  • 3 Year Warranty: Comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage for added confidence and protection.

Command Access MRC151EL 24V 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Command Access MRC181 retrofit chassis work in my existing Falcon MA Series mortise lock?
That is exactly what the MRC181 is built for. It is a retrofit chassis engineered for existing Falcon MA Series mortise lock installations, so the existing case pocket, trim and cylinder prep stay in place and you swap the chassis to add electrified control. It is not a complete lockset, it is chassis only, so the Falcon lock body hardware you already have is what it goes into.
2) Do I order the MRC181 as fail safe or fail secure, and what is the difference on a storeroom door?
Both are orderable. Fail secure means the outside lever is unlocked electronically, so switched power lets the outside lever retract the latchbolt and the door relocks when power drops. Fail safe unlocks on loss of power, which is what fire and life safety plans often call for on egress-path openings. Either way the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress, which is the storeroom function behavior.
3) What voltage and current does the Command Access MRC181 mortise chassis need from the power supply?
It runs on 12 or 24VAC/DC within plus or minus 10 percent, using a plug-in bridge rectifier, so it works off AC or DC supplies. Draw is 700 mA at 12V or 350 mA at 24V, 8 watts total. Size the supply accordingly: on a multi-door job at 12V you are budgeting 0.7 A per opening. The chassis is ordered as either a 12V or a 24V version.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Command Access MRC181 if I need a complete electrified mortise lockset rather than a retrofit chassis?
The MRC181 is a retrofit chassis built to drop into existing Falcon MA Series mortise lock bodies, so it assumes the lock and trim are already on the door. If you need a full lockset instead, the DynaLock EML-1 is an electrified mortise lock in storeroom function, matching the MRC181's storeroom function. The SDC 7800 Selectric PRO is another complete solenoid controlled mortise lock, and it adds a vandal resistant clutch. Both are supplied as locks in their own right rather than as a chassis swap.
5) Is the Schlage L9050BDC a substitute for the Command Access MRC181?
No. The Schlage L9050BDC is a mechanical mortise lock in entrance/office function, single cylinder non-deadbolt, Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors. The MRC181 is an electrified chassis with 12/24V operation in storeroom function, intended for access control integration. If the opening needs to be released by a credential reader or card system, the L9050BDC will not do it; if the opening is purely mechanical entrance/office, the MRC181 is more hardware than the job needs.
6) I need motorized latch retraction for an access control tie-in, not a solenoid lock. What should I use instead of the MRC181?
The MRC181 uses continuous duty solenoids on 12 or 24VAC/DC to unlock the outside lever. If your application calls for motorized latch retraction, the SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control, for doors 1-3/4 inches thick. It is a complete lockset rather than a chassis retrofit, so it replaces the existing mortise lock body instead of reusing it.
7) Can I leave the MRC181 energized all day for an extended unlock schedule?
Yes. The solenoids are continuous duty, rated for continuously on applications including fail safe operation or extended unlock cycles, so a scheduled daytime unlock through an access control panel will not cook the coil.
8) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the MRC181 chassis?
No. Handing is field reversible on the chassis, so one part covers left and right hand openings without extra components. Useful when a property manager is stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
9) Is the MRC181 heavy enough for a school or hospital corridor door?
It is Grade 1, heavy duty, commercial rated construction with continuous duty solenoids, and Command Access lists it for educational, healthcare, government, retail and multi-tenant residential access control. Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA operational grade for this class of lock.
10) Which storeroom function electrified mortise options should I compare against the MRC181?
For storeroom function specifically, the MRC181 and the DynaLock EML-1 both list storeroom function. The MRC181 is a chassis-only retrofit for Falcon MA Series bodies with field reversible handing and 12 or 24VAC/DC operation; the EML-1 is a complete electrified mortise lock in the EML series. Choose the MRC181 when the existing Falcon MA lock body and trim stay on the door, and the EML-1 when you are supplying the whole lock.
11) What finish does the Command Access MRC181 come in?
626 satin chrome is the finish on every MRC181 configuration, across both the 12V and 24V and fail safe and fail secure versions. Since this is a chassis that goes inside the Falcon lock case, the visible trim on the door stays whatever is already installed.
