Schlage L583475 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Schlage L583-475 used for on an L Series mortise lock?
It is the modular cam that goes on the cylinder side of a Schlage L Series mortise lock, the part that transfers cylinder rotation into the lock case. It is a genuine Schlage service part for commercial mortise lock applications, not a complete cylinder or lock body, so you are ordering it to service or complete an existing L Series mortise installation.
2) Will the L583-475 cam work with my 1-1/2 inch mortise cylinder?
Yes. The L583-475 modular cam covers the three standard mortise cylinder lengths used on L Series locks, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 and 1-3/4 inches, so one cam part number serves all three instead of a length-specific cam. Those are the usual mortise cylinder lengths you will find in commercial doors.
3) Can I use this Schlage cam on a cylindrical lockset or an exit device cylinder?
No. This cam is an L Series mortise part, and its stated compatibility is mortise locks only. Cylindrical locksets such as the ND or AL Series use a tailpiece arrangement, not a mortise cam, and rim cylinders on exit devices take a rim cylinder tailpiece. Ordering this for anything other than an L Series mortise lock will leave you with a part you cannot install.
4) Is the L583-475 a genuine Schlage part or an aftermarket copy?
It is a certified Schlage part for the L Series, so it is the same component the factory uses rather than an aftermarket substitute. For institutional and MRO buyers standardizing on L Series mortise hardware across a facility, that matters because the cam engagement in the lock case has to be exact for the cylinder to throw the latch reliably. Order under model L583475.
5) Do I need to match a finish when ordering Schlage L Series service parts like this cam?
Many Schlage L Series service parts are finish specific, so when you are pulling parts for a mortise lock rebuild you have to match the finish of the visible trim. The cam itself sits inside the lock case, but any plate or trim part you order alongside it should be specified in the finish already on the door so the opening still matches the rest of the building.
