Schlage SCH-N123-085 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Schlage N123-085 push and turn plunger bar used for?
It's the push-and-turn button assembly that sits in the inside lever of a Schlage ND Series lock. Pushing the button in and turning it locks the outside lever, and it stays locked until the inside lever is turned or the outside is unlocked by key. Schlage lists it as the plunger bar for the ND53 and ND91 functions.
2) Will the N123-085 plunger bar work in any Schlage ND lock, or only certain functions?
Only the push-and-turn functions it's built for: the ND53 entrance/office lock and the ND91 vandlgard version of it. Other ND functions use a different inside trim (turn button, thumbturn, or blank) and take a different part, so match the function stamped on your lock before ordering.
3) My tenant's office lock button won't stay pushed in, do I need a whole new lockset?
Usually not. On a Schlage ND53 or ND91, the push-and-turn button is a serviceable piece, and the N123-085 plunger bar replaces just that assembly. You keep the existing lock body, cylinder and keying, which matters if the door is on a master key system. Swap the lock only if the chassis or cylinder itself is damaged.
4) Does the N123-085 come with a lever, rose or lock chassis?
No. It is the plunger bar assembly on its own, a single push-and-turn button component. Levers, roses, cylinders and the ND chassis are ordered separately.
5) Can I standardize this part across a building full of Schlage ND locks?
Yes, wherever those openings are ND53 or ND91 push-and-turn functions. Buttons are the part that wears out first on high-traffic office and classroom doors, so carrying the N123-085 on the shelf keeps a failed button from turning into a lockset replacement. Doors with other ND functions will need their own trim part.
6) Is there more than one version of the N123-085 to choose from?
No, one configuration only: the push-and-turn button. There are no handing, finish or size choices to specify when ordering.
