Corbin Russwin ML2065 Grade 1 Dormitory/Entrance Mortise Lockbody

Commercial-Grade Dormitory/Entrance Mortise Lock for High-Traffic Applications

The Corbin Russwin ML2065 is a Grade 1 mortise lockbody from the ML2000 Series, built for dormitory and entrance applications in commercial, institutional, industrial, and government environments. The latchbolt operates by grip from either side unless the outside grip is locked by projection of the deadbolt. The deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key from outside or by thumbturn grip from inside. The inside grip simultaneously retracts both the latchbolt and deadbolt and unlocks the outside grip; the inside grip always remains free. Rated for 1-3/4" (44mm) standard door thickness with a field-reversible handing feature, the lockbody is constructed of heavy-gauge steel and includes a patented Quick Reversible latchbolt and a 1" stainless steel deadbolt. UL cycle tested to 14.5 Million Cycles (Verification ID: V875753). Carries a 10 Year Limited warranty.

Corbin Russwin COR-ML2065-LL-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Corbin Russwin ML2065 mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The ML2065 lockbody is built for 1-3/4 inch (44mm) door thickness as standard, with optional thicknesses available on request. The case itself measures 5-7/8 x 4 x 15/16 inches, so the door needs a standard ANSI mortise pocket cut for the ML2000 Series. Backset is 2-3/4 inches, which is the usual commercial mortise backset.
2) Do I have to order the ML2065 handed, or can I re-hand it on the job?
Order it either way, then set the hand in the field. The ML2065 uses a patented Quick Reversible latchbolt, so the handing is reversed without disassembling the lock case. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one lockbody covers left and right hand openings instead of two part numbers.
3) What does the ML2065 dormitory/entrance function actually do at the door?
The latchbolt retracts by grip from either side unless the outside grip is locked by throwing the deadbolt. Key from outside or thumbturn from inside throws and retracts the deadbolt. Turning the inside grip pulls both the latchbolt and the deadbolt at once and unlocks the outside grip, and the inside grip is always free for egress. That last part is what makes it the standard choice for dorm rooms and apartment entrances: the occupant can never be locked in, and the door reverts to unlocked once someone leaves from inside. It corresponds to ANSI/BHMA F13.
4) Will the ML2065 latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
It depends on what is in the frame now. The ML2065 uses an ANSI straight lip strike, 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inches with 1-1/8 inch lip to center, and throws a 3/4 inch anti-friction latchbolt plus a 1 inch stainless steel deadbolt. If your frame already carries a standard ANSI mortise strike prep, it drops in. If the existing strike is a T-strike or a non-ANSI cutout, the frame needs new prep, and the deadbolt pocket has to be deep enough for the full 1 inch throw.
5) I am buying a lockbody only. What else do I need to order to complete the ML2065?
The ML2065 is the mortise lock case on its own. You still need trim (knob or lever with rose or escutcheon, in designs including Museo, Vineyard, and the Behavioral Health BHSS/BLSS trims), a cylinder, and a thumbturn for the inside. Spacing to lay out the trim: center to center from knob or lever to cylinder is 3-5/8 inches, and knob or lever to thumbturn is 2-7/16 inches. The armored front is 8 x 1-1/4 inches in wrought brass, bronze, or stainless. Trim is thru-bolted.
6) Can I use my existing cylinders and keyway with the Corbin Russwin ML2065?
In most cases, yes. The ML2065 accepts most other manufacturers' cylinders and works with existing Corbin Russwin key systems, so a building already keyed in Corbin Russwin can bring these openings onto the same master. The cylinder supplied as standard is brass, 6-pin, L4 keyway, 0-bitted so your locksmith can pin it to the system. For high security dorm and entrance work it also takes Corbin Russwin patented Pyramid or Access 3 cylinders.
7) Is the ML2065 approved for a fire rated dormitory or corridor door?
Yes. The lock is UL and cUL listed and UL10C positive pressure rated, good for a 3-hour fire door up to 4 x 10 feet single or 8 x 10 feet pair. It also carries ANSI/BHMA F13 Grade 1, ADA A117.1, California State Fire Marshal listing, and windstorm/hurricane certification. UL cycle tested to 14.5 million cycles, verification ID V875753.
8) What is the equivalent of a Corbin Russwin ML2065 mortise lockbody from Accentra?
The Accentra 8800FL Series mortise lock body is the closest peer to the Corbin Russwin ML2065. Both are Grade 1 mortise lock bodies, and both offer field reversible handing, so either can be re-handed on site rather than ordered hand-specific. The ML2065 is the dormitory/entrance function with a 1 inch stainless steel deadbolt thrown by key outside or thumbturn inside; when specifying the 8800FL body, confirm the function code matches that dormitory/entrance behavior, because function is ordered separately from the body family.
9) Can an Accentra 8800FL mortise lock body be used to replace a Corbin Russwin ML2065 in the same door prep?
Both are Grade 1 mortise lock bodies, so they target the same class of commercial mortise prep, but a swap is decided by the pocket and edge, not the grade. The ML2065 case is 5-7/8 inch by 4 inch by 15/16 inch with a 2-3/4 inch backset, an 8 inch by 1-1/4 inch armored front, and center-to-center spacing of 3-5/8 inch lever to cylinder and 2-7/16 inch lever to thumbturn. Measure the existing pocket depth, front cutout, and cylinder and thumbturn hole centers against those numbers before deciding which body drops in. Where the existing prep already matches Corbin Russwin ML2000 spacing, the ML2065 reuses it and also works with existing Corbin Russwin key systems.
10) Does ordering an Accentra 8800FL or a Corbin Russwin ML2065 give me a complete working lock?
Neither one is a complete lockset. The ML2065 is a lockbody only, so the lever or knob trim, the cylinder, and the strike are specified separately; the Accentra 8800FL is likewise a lock body. Plan on a trim design, a cylinder, and a strike for either. The ML2065 pairs with an ANSI straight lip strike, 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch with 1-1/8 inch lip to center, takes a 6-pin L4 keyway brass cylinder 0-bitted as standard, and accepts most other manufacturers' cylinders if a facility is already keyed to another system.
11) Is a mortise lock like the ML2065 worth it over a cylindrical lockset for a dorm or apartment entrance?
For a high traffic residential entrance, the mortise case is the one that holds up. The ML2065 puts a separate 1 inch stainless deadbolt and a 3/4 inch latchbolt in one heavy-gauge steel case, so you get key-and-thumbturn deadlocking security without adding a second lock and a second door prep. A cylindrical lockset cannot give you that combination in one bore. The trade off is the door: mortise needs a pocket cut, so on new doors or existing mortise prep it makes sense, while a door bored 2-1/8 inches for a cylindrical lock would need to be replaced or re-prepped.
12) Does the ML2065 hold up in a dorm where doors get slammed and pulled against a warped frame?
That is what the two-piece anti-friction latchbolt is for. The anti-friction insert cuts the force needed to close the door, which matters when a door is dragging or the closer is pushing it against a misaligned strike. Behind it, a 9/16 inch effective throw auxiliary latchbolt deadlocks the main latch so it cannot be shimmed. The case is heavy-gauge steel and it is UL cycle tested to 14.5 million cycles.
13) Can I add vandal resistant or status indicator trim to the ML2065?
Both are available. The ML2065 works with the ML2000VR Vandal Resistant Series, which uses stainless steel escutcheons with tapered edges and Torx pin tamper-resistant screws, and pairing that with Pyramid or Access 3 cylinders gives you a high-security dorm or entrance opening. Status indicators showing locked or unlocked are offered on sectional and escutcheon trim. If you need motorized electric latch retraction, that is an ML20900 Series option rather than something added to this mechanical lockbody, which is non-electronic.
14) What is the alternative to the Corbin Russwin ML2065 if I am not standardized on Corbin Russwin?
The closest peer we carry is the Accentra 8800FL Series Grade 1 mortise lock body, also field reversible for handing, so it covers the same Grade 1 mortise lockbody slot. Where the ML2065 wins is on an existing Corbin Russwin key system, since it works with those key systems directly. If your building is already keyed in another system, compare the lock bodies on their own merits and key the cylinders to what you run.
15) I need a mortise lock for a dorm room door but the opening only takes a cylindrical lock. What should I use instead of the ML2065?
The ML2065 is a mortise lockbody only, and it needs a mortise pocket in the door edge sized for a 5-7/8 inch by 4 inch by 15/16 inch case with a 2-3/4 inch backset. A door bored for a cylindrical lock has no such pocket, so the ML2065 is the wrong body for that opening regardless of function. Either specify a cylindrical lockset in a dormitory or entrance function for the existing bore, or have the door edge mortised. Both the ML2065 and the Accentra 8800FL Series are mortise bodies and carry the same prep requirement, so neither one solves a bored-door opening.
16) The doors are 2 inch thick. Will a standard Grade 1 mortise body like the ML2065 work?
The Corbin Russwin ML2065 is built to a 1-3/4 inch (44mm) standard door thickness, with optional thicknesses available, so a 2 inch door needs the thickness option called out at order rather than the standard body. Door thickness affects the spindle, cylinder length, and trim screw lengths more than the case itself, so state the actual door thickness whenever the opening is not 1-3/4 inch. The same applies to any mortise body being considered for those doors, including the Accentra 8800FL Series.
17) We want an access controlled dorm entrance. Is a mechanical Grade 1 mortise body the right choice?
The Corbin Russwin ML2065 is a mechanical, non-electronic lockbody, so on its own it does nothing for card access or remote release. Corbin Russwin offers Motorized Electric Latch Retraction on the ML20900 series for openings that need latch retraction from an access control system, and the ML2065 body itself is compatible with the ML2000VR vandal resistant series and with patented Pyramid or Access 3 high-security cylinders where key control is the priority instead. The Accentra 8800FL Series is likewise a mechanical mortise lock body, so it does not change that decision.
18) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin ML2065 come in?
Fourteen, covering the standard commercial range: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, 722 black oxidized bronze oil-rubbed, and BSP black suede powder coat. For matching existing openings in an institutional building, 626 and 630 are the two you will most often be replacing.
