DynaLock EML-1-EL-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the DynaLock EML-1 electrified mortise lock drop into an existing Schlage L9000 prep?
Yes. The EML Series electrified mortise locks are designed to retrofit the Schlage L9000 Series, so they go into the existing mortise pocket and door prep. Handing is field-reversible, so you don't have to specify left or right hand when you order.
2) What voltage and current does the DynaLock EML-1 mortise lock need from my power supply?
It runs on 12-24 VAC/VDC input. Current draw is 700mA at 12 VDC and 350mA at 24 VDC, so size the supply accordingly, especially if you're running several openings off one unit. Running at 24 VDC halves the draw and is the easier choice on long wire runs.
3) Can the EML-1 electrified mortise lock go on a labeled fire door?
Yes. The EML Series is UL Listed for use on labeled fire doors rated up to 3 hours, and it's ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. That combination is what most institutional and MRO specs call for on stairwell and corridor openings.
4) What monitoring options do I have to specify when ordering a DynaLock EML-1?
Four switch options are ordered on the lock: door position switch, latchbolt monitor, request to exit, and a request to exit monitor switch field upgrade kit for mortise. Each is a yes or no choice. Decide these with your access control head end before you order, because the RQE and latch monitor are what let the panel see a valid egress and a secured latch. If you already own EML locks without RQE, the field upgrade kit is the way to add it later.
5) What is the closest alternative to the DynaLock EML-1 electrified mortise lock if I need a storeroom function electrified mortise from another manufacturer?
The SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control, and the DynaLock EML-1 is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 electrified mortise lock in storeroom function running on 12-24 VAC/VDC. Command Access also offers the LPM190-M-EU-CH, a 24V motorized latch retraction mortise lock with electric unlock in storeroom function. The main difference in approach is that the EML-1 is a solenoid-style field-selectable fail-safe (EL) / fail-secure (EU) lock, while the SDC 7600 and the Command Access LPM190 are motorized latch retraction designs, which changes the power supply and current requirements you plan for.
6) I only need to electrify an existing mortise lock body, not buy a whole lockset. What should I look at instead of the DynaLock EML-1?
The DynaLock EML-1 is a complete electrified mortise lockset with standard bent lever trim, built to retrofit the Schlage L9000 Series. If you are retaining the existing trim and want only the electrified chassis, Command Access offers the ML1080LB heavy-duty storeroom function mortise lock chassis and the LPM110ECH electrified latch retraction mortise lock chassis with 24VDC operation. Those are chassis-level products, so you are reusing the door's existing lever trim and cylinder rather than replacing the full lockset.
7) Is the Schlage L9050BDC a substitute for the DynaLock EML-1?
No. The Schlage L9050BDC is a mechanical Grade 1 mortise lock in entrance/office function, single cylinder non-deadbolt, with a disposable SFIC core. The DynaLock EML-1 is an electronic lock in storeroom function that operates on 12-24 VAC/VDC with field-selectable fail-safe or fail-secure mode. They share the L Series mortise prep - the EML-1 is designed to retrofit the Schlage L9000 Series - so the L9050BDC is the right choice only if the opening has no access control and no wiring.
8) How does the storeroom function on the EML-1 actually behave day to day?
Outside lever is locked electronically in EL mode or unlocked in EU mode. The latchbolt retracts by key from outside or by the inside lever at any time, and applied power lets the outside lever retract the latchbolt. Inside lever is always free. That's the classic storeroom pattern: the door stays secure and self-relocking, credentialed entry from outside, free exit from inside.
9) Should I use an electrified mortise lock like the EML-1 or a motorized latch retraction lock?
The EML-1 controls the outside lever electrically, so it's for card-reader or intercom entry where the latch itself stays mechanical and free egress is always available from the inside lever. A motorized latch retraction lockset instead pulls the latchbolt back electrically, which is what you want when the opening needs to run in a true unlatched or automatic-operator condition. If that's your application, the SDC 7600 Series Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control or the Command Access LPM190-M-EU-CH are the motorized route.
10) Do I have to choose fail-safe or fail-secure at the time of order, or can I change it in the field?
The DynaLock EML-1 is field-selectable between fail-safe (EL) and fail-secure (EU) locking mode, and handing is field-reversible as well, so one lock covers both modes. By contrast, the Command Access LPM190-M-EU-CH is specified as an electric unlock (EU) model, meaning the mode is fixed at the model level. If you are standardizing stock across a campus where some doors need fail-safe on the fire alarm and others need fail-secure, the field-selectable EML-1 reduces the number of part numbers you carry.
11) The DynaLock EML-1 is storeroom function, but my opening is a detention or behavioral health room. What else is there?
For that application, look at the Command Access ML04EU, a heavy-duty electrified mortise lock chassis in asylum/institution/utility function. That function keys both sides, which is what those openings usually require. The DynaLock EML-1 is storeroom function - the inside lever is always free for immediate egress and the outside lever is controlled electrically - so it suits a corridor or supply door rather than a secured-both-sides room.
12) I need a mortise lock that will stand up to abuse on a high traffic door. How does the DynaLock EML-1 compare to the SDC 7800?
The SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, built for 1-3/4 inch doors. The DynaLock EML-1 is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 electrified mortise lock, UL Listed for labeled fire doors rated up to 3 hours, with field-reversible handing and field-selectable fail-safe or fail-secure operation. If the driver is forced-lever abuse, the clutch mechanism on the 7800 is the differentiator; if the driver is a rated fire door opening with field mode selection, the EML-1 addresses that directly.
13) My access control panel only supplies 24VDC. Which mortise locks work with that?
The DynaLock EML-1 accepts 12-24 VAC/VDC input and draws 350 mA at 24 VDC, so it runs directly off a 24VDC supply. Among the alternatives, the Command Access LPM110ECH chassis and the LPM190-M-EU-CH are both 24VDC, and the SDC 7600 Series uses 24VDC control. The EML-1 is the one of these that will also accept 12 volts if you later standardize on a lower voltage supply.
14) I need request-to-exit and door position monitoring on the lock itself. Does the DynaLock EML-1 cover that or should I specify a different lock?
The DynaLock EML-1 can be ordered with a door position switch, a latchbolt monitor, and request to exit, and a request to exit monitor switch field upgrade kit for mortise is also available if you need to add it later. Among the alternatives, the SDC 7600 Series and the Command Access LPM190-M-EU-CH are latch retraction designs specified primarily for remote unlocking rather than integrated monitoring options, so if the monitoring outputs are the requirement, the EML-1 handles it in one lock.
15) What finishes does the DynaLock EML Series electrified mortise lock come in?
Four plated finishes: 605 bright brass (US3), 613 dark bronze (US10B), 625 bright chrome (US26), and 626 satin chrome (US26D). 626 satin chrome is the standard commercial choice and matches most existing lever hardware in offices and schools. Standard bent lever trim is included.
16) Is the DynaLock EML-1 suitable for residential doors?
No. It's a commercial electrified mortise lockset, Grade 1, intended for access-controlled openings in commercial and institutional buildings. A house door will not have the mortise pocket prep or the low-voltage power and access control infrastructure this lock requires.
17) I need to match the brass hardware already on the building. Which electrified mortise lock offers brass finishes?
The DynaLock EML-1 is offered in 605 bright brass (US3), 613 dark bronze (US10B), 625 bright chrome (US26), and 626 satin chrome (US26D), all plated finishes. The chassis-only alternatives such as the Command Access ML1080LB and LPM110ECH are lock chassis rather than complete locksets, so the visible finish on those openings comes from the trim you already have on the door.
