Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD J 06 643E RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Schlage LEBMB-ADD?
Yes, handing is an order decision on the LEBMB-ADD. It ships left hand or right hand, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side the lever sits before you order. Field-reversible mortise bodies like the Falcon MA101 or the BEST 45HCAC let you sort that out on site; this one you get right on the purchase order.
2) Can I use the Schlage LE mobile mortise lock on a fire rated door?
The LEBMB-ADD carries a 3 hour fire rating, so it suits fire rated openings up to that duration, including stairwell and corridor doors in multi-family and institutional buildings. It's a Grade 2 lock built on the Schlage L Series mechanical mortise platform, so the mechanical latching side is a known commercial chassis with electronics layered on top.
3) What does the MB push button on the Schlage LE lock actually do for an apartment or office door?
The MB chassis puts an interior push button with an LED indicator on the inside of the door, so an occupant can secure the opening from inside without a key or a credential. That's what makes the Privacy, Office and Apartment functions work: a tenant privacies the unit, an office user locks up at the desk, and the LED tells them the state. Pushbutton status is one of the signals reported back to the host software, so a manager can see it remotely.
4) Do I need a gateway or panel to run the Schlage LE mobile mortise lock, or does it work standalone?
Both ways work. Out of the box the LE lock is managed over Bluetooth right at the door from a phone or tablet, and it has built-in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) for a daily automated check-in with the host software, which is enough for most apartment and office doors. If you need real-time control and remote lockdown, add an ENGAGE Gateway, which talks RS-485 to an access control panel or IP to host software within about 30 feet of the lock. On that setup, wake-up on radio has the lock responding to a lock or unlock command in under 5 seconds.
5) What credentials will the Schlage LE mortise lock read? Will it work with our existing HID cards?
The multi-technology reader takes MIFARE, 125 kHz proximity, 13.56 MHz smart cards, Bluetooth and NFC as standard, so phones and most existing card populations are covered. HID iCLASS, iCLASS SE and Seos are supported through the Si option, which is something you specify at order, not add later. Capacity is 5,000 users at the lock.
6) Which cylinder do I order with the Schlage LE mortise lock if we already key our building to an interchangeable core?
Two cylinder choices are ordered on the LEBMB-ADD. The P option ships a Schlage 6-pin mortise cylinder, Everest 29 S123 keyway as standard, with two patented keys. The J option comes less FSIC, prepped for a Schlage 6-pin full size interchangeable core, so a building already standardized on FSIC gets its own cores in and stays on one key system. Factory master keying is available, and conventional (KIL), FSIC and SFIC cylinder options are all supported on the platform.
7) Will the levers on the Schlage LE electronic lock match the mechanical Schlage locks already on our other doors?
Lever choice is the whole point here. The LE takes the 03, 06, 07 and 17 levers, which suite with the Schlage Tubular, Rhodes, Athens and Sparta styles respectively, plus the Latitude (LAT) lever. So you can electrify a few openings and have them read as the same hardware line as the mechanical Schlage locks down the hall. Finishes run 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial, and 643e aged bronze.
8) Is the Schlage LE the right lock for a classroom security or intruder function opening?
No. The LEBMB-ADD is configured for Privacy, Office and Apartment functions, and the interior button is a privacy control, not a classroom lockdown lever. For a room a teacher needs to secure from inside, look at the Marks USA LA318GJ classroom security indicator mortise lockset, the Cal-Royal NM8070 Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset, or the TownSteel FME-4000 electronic intruder classroom lock. Networked lockdown is available on the LE through an ENGAGE Gateway and a PACS system, but that is a command from the host, not a teacher at the door.
9) What is the closest mobile-credential mortise lock to the Schlage LE LEBMB-ADD from another manufacturer?
The Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is the nearest cross-brand match: it is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, the same grade the LEBMB-ADD carries. Both put the credential reader in the mortise lock itself rather than on a separate wall reader, and both read a phone over Bluetooth. The LEBMB-ADD side adds NFC alongside Bluetooth and holds up to 5,000 users. If the specification is written around a Bluetooth mobile credential at a Grade 2 mortise opening, the Saffire is the substitution to evaluate first.
10) If the building has no mobile credential program, what electronic mortise lock does the same job with a keypad instead?
Several keypad mortise locks cover the same opening without a phone credential. The Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy is Grade 1 with a classroom function and 300 user codes, and the DL2700CR Trilogy T2 is Grade 1 classroom with a weatherproof design; both fit doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock. The LEBMB-ADD instead carries a multi-technology reader on 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy with an interior push button and LED for its Privacy, Office, and Apartment functions, so the swap changes how a user presents credentials at the door and what the interior control does.
11) Our doors are 1-5/8 inch - can we use the Schlage LEBMB-ADD, and what fits if not?
The LEBMB-ADD is built for a 1-3/4 inch door. For a 1-5/8 inch door, the Alarm Lock Trilogy family covers 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch: the DL2700CR in Grade 1 classroom with a weatherproof design, the DL3500CR in Grade 1 classroom with 300 user codes, and the DL4500 Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad. Those are keypad locks, so credentials are entered at the door rather than presented from a phone.
12) What should we use instead of the Schlage LEBMB-ADD when the opening has to be tied into a wired access control panel?
The LEBMB-ADD runs on 4 AA batteries with its radio at the door. Where the design calls for a hard-wired opening instead, the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation, the Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC in a storeroom function, and the Schlage L9092EU with 03A trim is an electric lock/unlock outside lever mortise lock, keyed outside, with request to exit, 12/24VDC, on a 1-3/4 inch door. Those require power and wiring transferred to the door leaf; the LEBMB-ADD does not.
13) For a behavioral health or anti-ligature opening, what replaces the Schlage LEBMB-ADD?
The LEBMB-ADD has a projecting lever and an exterior reader, which is not an anti-ligature profile. For those openings, the TownSteel MRX-A-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty ligature resistant arch trim mortise lockset in satin stainless steel with a passage function on 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in stainless steel, also passage on 1-3/4 inch, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function, so access control has to be handled elsewhere in the opening.
14) We have Adams Rite deadlatches in aluminum storefront doors - can the Schlage LEBMB-ADD go on them?
The LEBMB-ADD is a 1-3/4 inch mortise lock and is not built around an Adams Rite deadlatch. For a narrow stile storefront door already carrying one, the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx is a wireless electronic mortise lock with a keypad made for Adams Rite deadlatches, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock in a wide stile configuration. On a glass door with a bottom rail, the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock.
15) Should I use a mobile enabled electronic mortise lock like the Schlage LE, or a standalone keypad lock?
It comes down to whether you want to manage credentials centrally. The LE takes phone credentials over Bluetooth and NFC and pushes updates from host software over Wi-Fi, so turnover in an apartment or office is handled by revoking a credential from the office rather than walking the building. A standalone pushbutton lock such as the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 or the BEST 45HZ EZ Series keypad mortise lock is programmed at the door with codes, which is simpler and fine for a low-turnover interior opening. If you want to stay hardwired to a panel instead, the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V.
16) What else is comparable to the Schlage LE if I need a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock instead of Grade 2?
The LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 lock, which is aimed at interior openings deeper in the building rather than a high-abuse perimeter or classroom door. For Grade 1 electronic mortise, the TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with RFID at 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the FME-4000 Series adds the intruder classroom function. Dormakaba's E-Plex E5086 is Grade 1 with pushbutton and card. If you want mobile BLE credentials specifically, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 is an RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2.
17) Can the Schlage LE lock be used on an exterior door, and how cold can it get?
The exterior side of the LE lock is rated from -31 to 151 degrees F (-35 to 66 C), with the interior side rated 32 to 120 F (0 to 49 C), and humidity 0 to 100 percent non-condensing. That covers an unheated stairwell, a garage vestibule or a corridor door open to weather. Note the interior half needs to stay above freezing, so a fully exposed exterior opening in a cold climate is not what this lock is scoped for.
18) How is the Schlage LE mortise lock powered, and do I have to run wire to the door?
No wiring. Four AA batteries sit in the lock, with battery life quoted up to two years, and battery status is one of the signals reported back to the host software so you get warning before a door goes dead. That's the reason this lock gets specified for interior apartment and office openings where pulling power to the frame would cost more than the hardware. If you'd rather have wired power at the door, the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock on 12V or 24V.
19) Can I monitor door position and request-to-exit from the Schlage LE lock, or do I need separate switches in the frame?
The lock itself reports lock/unlock status, request-to-exit, door position, interior cover tamper, battery status, communication status and interior pushbutton status. That removes the separate door contact and RX switch you would otherwise mortise into the frame on a wired opening. Which of those signals actually surfaces depends on your access control software, so check scope of support with that provider.
20) We only need a mechanical privacy or office mortise lock on these doors - what replaces the Schlage LEBMB-ADD?
The LEBMB-ADD covers Privacy, Office, and Apartment functions with electronics at the door. Purely mechanical equivalents by function: Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt on a 1-3/4 inch door, Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 entrance/office mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch on 1-3/4 inch doors, and Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon, non-keyed, 2-3/4 inch backset. For the apartment function, Baldwin 6301LS is an entry/apartment lever by lever mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset. None of these carry a credential reader or user database.
21) The Schlage LEBMB-ADD does not offer a classroom or storeroom function - what mortise lock does?
The LEBMB-ADD is configured for Privacy, Office, and Apartment. For a keyed classroom opening, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset on a 1-3/4 inch door, Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch at the same thickness, and Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset with ANSI strike and steel escutcheon. For storeroom, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with an Arcadia lever and Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option.
22) Is the Accentra nexTouch NTM623 an equivalent to the Schlage LEBMB-ADD?
They are not the same kind of credential. The Accentra NTM623-NR is a Grade 1 nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad, no deadbolt, with cylinder override - the user enters a code on the touchscreen or keys the override cylinder. The LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 mortise lock whose exterior reader takes a phone over Bluetooth Low Energy and NFC and whose interior control is a push button with an LED for its Privacy, Office, and Apartment functions. Choose the nexTouch when the credential is a code at the door and the LEBMB-ADD when it is a mobile credential.
23) Can a Sargent 4874 or Kaba Ilco 185 deadbolt take the place of the Schlage LEBMB-ADD?
No - those are deadbolts without a latch or lever. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a mortise deadbolt function lock with no handing. The LEBMB-ADD is a handed mortise lock with a lever, offered left hand and right hand, that carries Privacy, Office, and Apartment functions with a credential reader. If a keyless deadbolt is what the opening actually needs, the Alarm Lock DL4500 is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad.
24) We need a 3-hour fire rated mortise lock - what other options carry a fire rating?
The LEBMB-ADD is rated for 3 hours. Among mortise peers with a stated fire rating, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating. Note that the MA101 is a passage function with no locking at all, so it substitutes only where the door needs latching without security. The LEBMB-ADD keeps its rating while carrying Privacy, Office, and Apartment functions and a Bluetooth and NFC reader.
25) Does the Codelocks CL2255 do the same thing as the Schlage LEBMB-ADD on a commercial opening?
The Codelocks CL2255 is an electronic tubular mortise latch in a brushed steel finish rated medium duty. The LEBMB-ADD is a commercial Grade 2 mortise lock with a 3-hour fire rating and a Bluetooth Low Energy reader, offered in nine finishes from Bright Brass through Matte Black and Satin Chrome Antimicrobial. The CL2255 suits lighter-traffic doors where a standalone code latch is enough; a fire-rated commercial opening with a mobile credential is the LEBMB-ADD's territory.
26) Will a Schlage L0170 or PM010 work in place of the LEBMB-ADD?
No. The Schlage L0170 is half dummy trim - a Grade 1 non-keyed mortise lever with no latch, for a 1-3/4 inch door - and the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock, also 1-3/4 inch. Neither locks or reads a credential. The LEBMB-ADD is an electronic lock covering Privacy, Office, and Apartment on a 1-3/4 inch door with an interior push button and LED, so the L0170 and PM010 pair with it only on inactive or free-passage leaves in the same opening, matching the same finishes.
27) Is there a Schlage LE finish that holds up in a healthcare or food service setting?
626AM is satin chrome with an antimicrobial finish, which is the one specified for patient rooms, clinics and kitchens where touch surfaces are part of the infection control plan. It's one of nine finishes on the lock, alongside 605, 606, 612, 619, 622, 625, 626 and 643e.
28) The Schlage LEBMB-ADD is handed - what electronic mortise lock avoids ordering left hand and right hand separately?
The LEBMB-ADD ships as left hand or right hand, so handing has to be confirmed per opening. Peers that avoid a handed order include the BEST 45HCA public entrance mortise lock body, which is field reversible, and the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock, also field reversible. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise lock is supplied with no handing. Those are mechanical bodies rather than credential-reading locks, so this is a trade of electronic access for simpler ordering.
