DynaLock EML-3-EL-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the DynaLock EML-3 electrified mortise lock drop into an existing Schlage L9000 prep?
Yes. The EML Series electrified mortise locks are built to retrofit the Schlage L9000 Series, so they go into the existing mortise pocket and door prep without reworking the door. If you are replacing a mechanical L Series lock such as the Schlage L9050BDC entrance/office lock, the EML-3 gives you the same mortise footprint with electrified classroom operation.
2) What does classroom function mean on the DynaLock EML-3, and is the inside lever always free to exit?
The inside lever is always free, so egress is immediate regardless of power or lock state. Outside, the lever is locked electronically in fail-safe (EL) or unlocked electronically in fail-secure (EU). The latchbolt retracts by lever from either side unless the outside lever has been locked by key, and applying power lets the outside lever retract the latchbolt.
3) Do I have to decide fail-safe or fail-secure before ordering the EML-3?
The EML Series is field-selectable between fail-safe (EL) and fail-secure (EU), so one lock covers both modes. Lock Mode is still an order choice (electrically locked fail-safe or electrically unlocked fail-secure), but the mode can be changed in the field if the access control design shifts. Handing is field-reversible too, so you do not need to call left or right hand when you order.
4) Can the DynaLock EML-3 be used on a labeled fire door?
Yes. The EML Series is UL Listed for use on labeled fire doors rated up to 3 hours, and the locks are ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. Note that on a fire door the fail-secure (EU) mode is normally what the code official expects, since the latch has to stay projected and latched on loss of power.
5) What power supply do I need to size for a DynaLock EML-3 mortise lock?
It runs on 12-24 VAC/VDC input. Current draw is 700mA at 12 VDC and 350mA at 24 VDC, so at 24 volts you can put roughly twice as many locks on the same supply. For multi-door jobs, running 24 VDC is usually the easier calculation.
6) Can I get door position, latch monitoring, and request-to-exit signals out of the EML-3 lock?
All three are available as ordering options: door position switch, latchbolt monitor, and request to exit. Each is a yes/no choice when you configure the lock, so you can bring door status and REX back to the access control panel from the lock itself instead of adding a separate door contact or REX device. There is also a request-to-exit monitor switch field upgrade kit for mortise locks if you need to add REX to a lock already installed.
7) What is the closest alternative to the DynaLock EML-3 electrified mortise lock if I need latch retraction for automatic operator coordination instead of lever control?
The DynaLock EML-3 is a classroom function electrified mortise lock that controls the outside lever electrically - applied power allows the outside lever to retract the latchbolt, and the inside lever is always free for egress. If the opening instead needs the latchbolt itself pulled back electrically, the SDC 7600 Series is a motorized latch retraction mortise lockset with 24VDC control, and the Command Access LPM190-M-EU-CH is a 24V motorized latch retraction mortise lock with electric unlock in a storeroom function. Motorized latch retraction is what pairs with a low energy operator; lever control like the EML-3 is what pairs with a card reader at a classroom or office door.
8) I need a mortise lock that retrofits a Schlage L9000 opening - how does the DynaLock EML-3 compare to a Schlage L Series lock?
The DynaLock EML-3 is designed to retrofit the Schlage L9000 Series and is UL Listed and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, running on 12-24 VAC/VDC with field-selectable fail-safe or fail-secure operation. The Schlage L9050BDC is a Grade 1 L Series mortise lock in an entrance/office function with a single cylinder non-deadbolt configuration and a disposable SFIC, for a 1-3/4 inch door. The L9050BDC is a mechanical lock; the EML-3 is the electrified classroom-function equivalent for the same prep, so it is the one to choose when the opening is tied to an access control system.
9) My spec calls for a storeroom function mortise lock, not classroom - what should I use instead of the DynaLock EML-3?
The EML-3 is a classroom function lock: the latchbolt is retracted by the lever on either side unless the outside has been locked by key. For storeroom function, where the outside lever stays locked at all times, the Command Access ML1080LB is a heavy-duty storeroom function mortise lock chassis and the Command Access LPM190-M-EU-CH is a storeroom function motorized latch retraction mortise lock. Both are heavy-duty chassis-level products, so confirm the lever trim and finish separately.
10) Which electrified mortise locks carry a stated Grade 1 rating for an institutional spec?
The DynaLock EML-3 is UL Listed and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and UL Listed for labeled fire doors rated up to 3 hours. Among the alternatives, the SDC 7600 Series is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction mortise lockset and the Schlage L9050BDC is a Grade 1 heavy duty L Series mortise lock. For a facility standardizing on Grade 1 electrified hardware at classroom openings, the EML-3 is the direct fit since it also retrofits the Schlage L9000 prep already in many of those doors.
11) What finishes does the DynaLock EML electrified mortise lock come in for matching other doors in a building?
Four plated finishes: 605 bright brass (US3), 613 dark bronze (US10B), 625 bright chrome (US26), and 626 satin chrome (US26D). Satin chrome 626 is the common institutional standard and is the base finish for the series. Standard bent lever trim is included.
12) Do I need the EML-3 classroom function, or a storeroom function electrified mortise lock?
Classroom function on the EML-3 lets the latchbolt be retracted by the lever on either side unless the outside lever has been locked by key, which suits a room a teacher needs to secure from the corridor. If the outside lever should always be locked and key-only, that is storeroom function, and ZenSupply carries storeroom electrified mortise chassis such as the Command Access ML1080LB and the LPM190-M-EU-CH with electric unlock. For an asylum or utility opening, the Command Access ML04EU is the institutional-function option.
13) Is the DynaLock EML-3 suitable for a high-traffic commercial or institutional opening?
It is a commercial-grade product, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, which is the highest ANSI durability grade for locksets and the level normally specified for schools, healthcare, and government buildings. For standardizing across a facility, one EML-3 configuration covers both fail-safe and fail-secure openings and either hand, which cuts down the number of part numbers you stock.
14) What is the difference between the DynaLock EML-3 and the Command Access ML04EU institutional function lock?
Function is the dividing line. The EML-3 is classroom function - the inside lever is always free for immediate egress. The Command Access ML04EU is an asylum/institution/utility function heavy-duty electrified mortise lock chassis, a function used where both levers are controlled and free egress is not assumed. Choose the EML-3 for a classroom or office opening on an egress path and the ML04EU where a detention or utility function is specified.
15) Is the Command Access LPM110ECH a drop-in substitute for a DynaLock EML-3?
No. The Command Access LPM110ECH is a heavy-duty electrified latch retraction mortise lock chassis operating at 24VDC - a chassis for latch retraction service. The DynaLock EML-3 is a complete classroom function electrified mortise lockset that includes standard bent lever trim, runs on 12-24 VAC/VDC input, and offers field-selectable fail-safe or fail-secure mode plus field-reversible handing. They look similar in a catalog but do different work: one retracts the latch, the other controls the outside lever.
16) Which electrified mortise lock should I choose for a high-abuse opening where levers get forced?
For openings where the lever takes abuse, the SDC Selectric 7800 PRO Series is a solenoid controlled mortise lock with a vandal resistant clutch, built for a 1-3/4 inch door. The DynaLock EML-3 is a UL Listed ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 classroom function lockset with standard bent lever trim, UL Listed for labeled fire doors rated up to 3 hours, and it is the one to specify when the opening is a rated fire door. Match the vandal clutch to abuse-prone corridors and the EML-3 to rated classroom and office openings.
17) Do the alternatives to the DynaLock EML-3 run on the same voltage?
Not all of them. The DynaLock EML-3 accepts 12-24 VAC/VDC input, drawing 700mA at 12 VDC or 350mA at 24 VDC, so it works on either supply. The SDC 7600 Series and the Command Access LPM110ECH and LPM190-M-EU-CH are 24VDC products. If the panel or power supply at the opening is 12 volt, the EML-3 is the one that accommodates it without changing the power supply.
18) I need door position and latch monitoring at the opening - does the DynaLock EML-3 cover that or do I need a separate device?
The EML-3 can be ordered with the monitoring built into the lock: door position switch, latchbolt monitor, and request to exit are each available as options, with a request to exit monitor switch field upgrade kit for mortise also offered. Among the alternatives, the Command Access ML1080LB and ML04EU are heavy-duty mortise lock chassis and the SDC 7600 is a Grade 1 motorized latch retraction lockset - if you go that route, verify monitoring separately. Specifying the switches into the EML-3 avoids adding a separate door contact.
19) Can I add request-to-exit monitoring to a DynaLock mortise lock after it is already installed?
Yes. A request-to-exit monitor switch field upgrade kit for mortise locks is offered as an ordering option, so an opening that was put in without REX can be brought up to a monitored condition without swapping the lock body out of the door.
20) Can I match existing brass or bronze door hardware with an electrified mortise lock, or am I stuck with chrome?
The DynaLock EML-3 is offered in 605 Bright Brass (US3), 613 Dark Bronze (US10B), 625 Bright Chrome (US26) and 626 Satin Chrome (US26D), all plated finishes, so it can be matched to existing brass or bronze trim on the other doors. Several alternatives are sold as chassis rather than complete locksets - the Command Access ML1080LB, ML04EU and LPM110ECH are mortise lock chassis - so lever trim and finish would be handled separately on those.
