Hager 3853E 26D WTN FULL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 3853E latch into the strike already in my frame?
It ships with a 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, which is the common commercial mortise frame prep, so if your frame is already cut for an ASA strike the lock drops straight in. The latchbolt has a 3/4 inch throw with an anti-friction tongue, so it will engage a standard ASA lip without hanging up on a slightly out-of-plumb frame. Optional strikes are available if your frame is prepped differently.
2) Is the Hager 3853E keyed, and can I add a cylinder later?
Non-keyed. The 3853E is a non-keyed entrance function mortise lock, so there is no cylinder and no key control on it. If you need a keyed opening, you want a keyed function in the same class instead, such as the Cal-Royal NM8050 Grade 1 entrance/office mortise lockset or the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock. Ordering this one expecting to key it later is the most common mistake on a non-keyed function.
3) What backset and door prep does the Hager 3853E mortise lock need?
A 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the wider of the two standard commercial backsets. The lock case needs a mortise pocket for a body measuring 4-5/16 x 6 x 1 inches, and the trim covers an escutcheon footprint of 1-15/16 x 8 inches (50 mm x 203 mm). If your doors are prepped for a 2-3/8 inch backset bored lock, this is not a swap. Hager publishes an escutcheon door prep template and mortise lock installation instructions for laying the pocket out.
4) Can the Hager 3853E go on a fire rated door?
Yes. It is UL/cUL Listed for all functions up to 3 hour A label single doors and carries the UL10C positive pressure rating. That covers stair and corridor openings in most commercial and institutional buildings. It is also BHMA Certified to ANSI A156.13, Series 1000, Grade 1 and meets the ANSI A117.1 accessibility code, which is what an institutional spec usually asks for in the same breath.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Hager 3853E in another brand's Grade 1 mortise line?
The Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise lockset in the entrance/office function with an auxiliary deadlatch, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise lockset from the ML2000 Series. Both are Grade 1 mortise bodies like the Hager 3853E, which carries BHMA Certified ANSI A156.13, Series 1000, Grade 1. The distinction to check before you order: the Hager 3853E is a non-keyed entrance function, so if the opening needs a cylinder you are comparing against a keyed peer rather than a like-for-like.
6) My door is 2-1/4 inches thick - which mortise locks cover that and which do not?
The Hager 3853E accommodates door thickness from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch. Among comparable mortise locks, the Cal-Royal NM8050, NM8070, NM8080 and NM8440 are all specified at 1-3/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 at 1-3/4 inch, and the Alarm Lock DL3500CR at 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The Baldwin 6301 mortise lock body is specified for 1-3/4 inch and over. On a thick door, the Hager 3853E range and the Baldwin 6301 are the ones that reach it.
7) The opening needs to lock with a key - what should I order instead of the Hager 3853E?
The Hager 3853E is a non-keyed entrance mortise lock. For a keyed mortise opening, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock from the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset. Storeroom keeps the outside lever locked at all times with key entry; classroom is locked and unlocked by key from the outside.
8) Is the Schlage L0170 a substitute for the Hager 3853E since both are Grade 1 non-keyed mortise?
No. The Schlage L0170 is half dummy trim, a Grade 1 mortise non-keyed lever lock in the dummy function for 1-3/4 inch doors - a fixed lever with no latch operation. The Hager 3853E is an operating entrance mortise lock with a 3/4 inch throw latchbolt and anti-friction tongue, and a 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike at the frame. A dummy trim needs no strike and no lock case mortise. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are also dummy function and fall in the same category.
9) I only need the lock body - the trim is already on the door. What are my options versus a complete Hager 3853E?
The Hager 3853E is supplied as a complete lockset with lever and escutcheon. If the door already has trim, the BEST 45H Series is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function and the BEST 45HCA Series is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with intruder function; the Baldwin 6301 is a mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over. Backset is the decider here: the Hager 3853E is a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Baldwin 6301 is 2-1/2 inch, so they are not interchangeable in an existing mortise pocket.
10) Will the Hager 3853E work as a non-keyed mortise lock on a 1-5/8 inch door?
No. The 3853E starts at 1-3/4 inches. For thinner leaves in that 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch band you are looking at a different family altogether, for example the Alarm Lock DL2700CR or DL3500CR electronic mortise locks, both listed for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, though those are keypad classroom-function locks rather than a non-keyed mechanical lever set.
11) Do I have to order the Hager 3853E handed?
No. The lock body is field reversible, so one lock covers left and right hand openings. It ships LHR by default, so on a right hand door you reverse the body at install rather than sending it back. Hager will also hand it at the factory if you specify that on the order, which is worth doing on a large fleet rollout to save the installer a step on every door.
12) What lever styles and finishes can I get on the Hager 3800 Series escutcheon trim?
Three lever designs are orderable here, Archer, August and Withnell, each in four finishes: 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless steel and black. All twelve lever and finish combinations exist, so you are not limited on pairing. If you are matching existing openings in a building, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the two that sit closest to typical commercial hardware already in place. Hager publishes a lever design sheet if you need to see the profiles side by side.
13) What extras can I specify on a Hager 3800 Series mortise lock for a healthcare or institutional job?
Four options come off the order form: tactile warning for hazardous-door identification, lead lining for X-ray and imaging rooms, split finish where the corridor and room sides need different finishes, and request to exit (RX) monitoring. RX gives a dry contact for an access control panel to see the lever being turned. Factory handing is a fifth thing to call out if you would rather not reverse bodies in the field.
14) Is a mortise lock like the Hager 3853E the right choice, or should I use a cylindrical lockset?
A mortise body goes in a routed pocket in the door edge rather than through a bored hole, which is why it takes the heavier commercial abuse and why it accepts a full option list (RX monitoring, lead lining, split finish). The trade-off is prep: you need the pocket cut for a 4-5/16 x 6 x 1 inch case and a 2-3/4 inch backset. If your doors are already bored, a Grade 1 cylindrical unit such as the Schlage PC10 passage lock installs without the mortise prep. Retrofitting a bored door to mortise means a new door or a mortising machine on site.
15) Is a TownSteel MRX-A-01 an alternative to the Hager 3853E for a behavioral health unit?
The TownSteel MRX-A-01 is a passage function mortise lockset in satin stainless steel with ligature resistant arch trim, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-L-01 is the Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever version. The Hager 3853E uses a lever and escutcheon in nine lever styles and is an entrance function. For an anti-ligature requirement the arch trim on the MRX-A-01 is the form that answers it; a lever does not.
16) We are moving to keypad or credential access on these doors - which mortise locks do that?
The Hager 3853E is a mechanical lock with no electronics. For electronic access on a mortise prep, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes in classroom function, the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader in privacy function, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID. Note the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is specified for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors while the Schlage CO-100 and TownSteel FME-2000 are specified at 1-3/4 inch.
17) Which Grade 1 mortise lock should I use for a restroom or patient room instead of an entrance function?
The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath mortise lockset with a deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 mortise lock in privacy function. The Hager 3853E is an entrance function and does not give the occupant an inside privacy throw. For a hospital opening with no locking at all, the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel.
18) Does the Hager 3853E work on a classroom door, or do I need a different lock?
The Hager 3853E is a non-keyed entrance function, so it will not give a teacher key control of the corridor side. For classroom openings the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset, and the Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset with an ANSI strike and a steel escutcheon measuring 8-1/2 inch H x 2-3/4 inch W x 7/16 inch. The Hager 3853E escutcheon measures 1-15/16 inch x 8 inch, so the two escutcheons cut different door preps.
19) Can I use a Sargent 4874 or Kaba Ilco 185 in place of the Hager 3853E?
No, those are deadbolt-only mortise products. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset from the 4870 Series, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt function mortise lock with no handing. Neither carries a lever or a latchbolt. The Hager 3853E is a lever-and-escutcheon entrance mortise lock with a 3/4 inch throw latchbolt, so it operates the door on every pull; a deadbolt only secures it. The Sargent 130KB and 130W are mortise thumbturns, which are trim pieces rather than lock bodies.
20) Which mortise locks are field reversible like the Hager 3853E?
The Hager 3853E body is easily field reversible and ships LHR by default, with a self adjusting case for beveled doors. Among comparable mortise bodies, the BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function is field reversible, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is supplied with no handing. If you are ordering for stock across mixed-hand openings, those are the ones that do not commit you to a hand at purchase.
21) Does a Schlage PC10 cylindrical lock fit where the Hager 3853E goes?
No. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock, non-keyed with a rose, for 1-3/4 inch doors. A cylindrical lock sits in a bored hole; the Hager 3853E is a mortise lock needing a pocket routed for a 4-5/16 inch x 6 inch x 1 inch lock case plus an escutcheon prep. They are both Grade 1 and both non-keyed, but the door preparation is not shared in either direction.
22) What Grade 1 mortise options are there for a dormitory or corridor door where the resident needs to lock behind them?
The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock from the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. The Hager 3853E is a non-keyed entrance function with a latchbolt, so it does not carry a deadbolt or a cylinder. Note the Sargent 7925 uses rose trim while the Hager 3853E uses a 1-15/16 inch x 8 inch escutcheon, which is a different face on the door.
23) We standardize on Schlage C keyway - which mortise locks line up with that?
The Hager 3853E carries Schlage C keyway cylinders, 6 pin, and uses a Schlage L cam as standard on Hager mortise locks, with SFIC and LFIC mortise housings available. Among the comparable set, the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset is offered with an interchangeable core option, which is the route to putting your existing core into a keyed opening. The keying decision on the Hager 3853E itself is separate from the lock, since it is supplied non-keyed.
24) Which mortise locks accept an access control signal for remote lock and unlock?
The Hager 3853E is a mechanical lock, though it is available with a Request to Exit (RX) option. For electrified operation, the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is a heavy duty corridor function mortise lock, keyed outside, with electric lock/unlock of the outside lever, Request to Exit, and 12/24VDC operation on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC in storeroom function, and the BEST 45HW Series is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation.
25) Is the Codelocks CL2255 a lighter substitute for a Grade 1 mortise entrance lock?
The Codelocks CL2255 is an electronic tubular mortise latch in a brushed steel finish from the CL2000 Series, rated medium duty. The Hager 3853E is BHMA Certified ANSI A156.13, Series 1000, Grade 1 for heavy duty commercial, industrial and institutional use. On an opening where a Grade 1 mortise is specified on the drawing, a medium duty tubular latch is a different class of product and will not satisfy that line.
26) Will a Marks USA 21AC or 22AC work in place of the Hager 3853E on a storefront door?
No. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with a round knob, specified for 1 inch doors. The Hager 3853E starts at 1-3/4 inch door thickness and runs to 2-1/2 inch. For narrow ornamental iron and glass door work, the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock. The Hager 3853E belongs on a full-thickness commercial door leaf.
27) Is the Hager 3853E electronic or does it need power?
Purely mechanical, no power required. If the job actually calls for access control on the door, ZenSupply carries mortise locks built for it: the BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock runs on 12V or 24V, and the Schlage LEMD-GRW ENGAGE wireless mortise lock is Grade 1 with a 125kHz proximity reader. The 3853E with the RX option is the middle ground, mechanical locking with a signal back to the panel.
28) I need satin stainless steel trim to match existing hardware - which mortise locksets come that way?
The Hager 3853E is offered in 630 satin stainless steel, alongside 626 satin chrome, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed and black. On the Hager 3853E, Withnell and William are the only lever options available in both zinc and stainless steel, referenced as WTS or WLS at order. Among comparables, the Marks USA 5PDN push/pull paddleset and the TownSteel MRX-A-01 arch trim mortise lockset are both specified in satin stainless steel, though neither is a lever.
