Schlage HL6 SERIES OVERVIEW

Hospitals and other healthcare environments have special requirements for noise reduction to help patients heal faster and staff perform more accurately and efficiently.

There are many sources of noise, but choosing quiet door hardware can help reduce excess noise and create quieter environments. The newly redesigned HL Series quiet hospital push/pull hardware offers a proven 50% quieter paddle operation than our previous product, providing healthcare organizations a reliable solution for noise reduction initiatives.

The HL Series includes a full line of solutions that deliver both superior quality and exceptional performance:

HL6

A durable and versatile latching solution. The traditional design has a short throw angle, allowing the door to be opened with an easy push or pull action, even when hands are not free.

PL7/PL8 privacy function

This patented design is ideal for restrooms or patient bathrooms. The privacy function is actuated by a thumbturn and an opposite side release provides for access in case of emergency.

HL6 mortise lock option

Combines the features and convenience of the HL6 push/pull operation with the Schlage L Series heavy-duty mortise lock.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

The HL Series of quiet push/pull latches are non-handed and UL listed for all single labeled metal or wood doors, making them ideal for healthcare applications, restrooms, commercial and institutional doors, including single fire doors. The short throw angle allows door opening with an easy push or pull action.

Quiet functionality

  • Dampened paddle action – depression and snap back – reduces noise associated with lock operation

Schlage SCH-HL6-9000RK-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Schlage HL6-9000RK come with the mortise lock body, or do I need to order that separately?
Paddles only. The HL6-9000RK is the push/pull paddle trim less the mortise lock, so you supply the Schlage L Series mortise lock body separately. If you already have an L Series mortise lock in the door and just want to convert it to hospital push/pull operation, that is exactly what this part is for. If you need the complete assembly, order the paddle set together with the mortise lock.
2) Which HL6-9000RK do I order if the door has a Schlage L9095 electrified mortise lock?
You need the -95 version. The standard HL6-9000RK paddle set is not compatible with the L9095 electrified option; the HL6-9000RK-95 is built specifically for it. Getting this wrong means the paddles will not go on the lock, so check the mortise lock function code in the door before you release the order. Both versions come in the same eight finishes.
3) Do I have to specify handing for a Schlage HL6 hospital push/pull latch?
No handing to specify. The HL6 push/pull paddle hardware is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand, and reverse bevel openings. That also means you can stock a single part across a whole floor of patient room doors instead of splitting inventory by hand.
4) What backset and strike prep does the HL6-9000 mortise push/pull latch need in the frame?
2-3/4 inch backset, with an ASA strike to ANSI 115.1, 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches. That is the common commercial mortise frame prep, so on an opening already carrying a Schlage L Series mortise lock the frame side normally needs no rework. On a new frame, spec the ANSI 115.1 ASA strike cutout up front.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage HL6-9000RK push/pull paddle set for a mortise lock?
The ABH 6600 Series is the nearest match. Like the HL6-9000RK, which is a paddles-only set intended to trim a mortise lock, the ABH 6600 Series is a mortise lock hospital push/pull latch and is built around a 2-3/4 inch backset, the same backset the HL6-9000RK works to. Both are hospital-style push/pull paddle operators rather than lever locksets, so the door opens with a push or a pull when hands are full.
6) If the opening does not need a mortise lock body, what push/pull hospital latch can be used instead?
The Trimco 1562A Hospital Series is a tubular push/pull latch in a passage function with levers down, and it is a heavy duty latch. That makes it a route for an opening where a tubular bore is what the door has, rather than a mortise pocket. The Schlage HL6-9000RK is mortise hardware and is heavy duty as well, so the duty level is the same in both cases; the difference is the tubular versus mortise preparation in the door.
7) Can I keep the door keyed and locked with HL6-9000 push/pull paddles on it?
Yes. Because the paddles ride on a Schlage L Series mortise lock body, the opening keeps a keyed single cylinder function. Sixteen mortise functions are available in the HL6 mortise line, including electrified, so the paddle trim does not force you into a passage-only opening. The lock function you pick, not the paddles, decides whether it is entrance, exit or keyed.
8) What is the difference between the HL6-9000 mortise version and a tubular hospital push/pull latch?
The mortise version needs a mortise pocket in the door and rides on an L Series lock body, which is how you get keyed and electrified functions plus heavy duty performance. A tubular hospital latch, like the Trimco 1562A Hospital Series push/pull latch, drops into a bored door and runs passage function. If the opening is already prepped mortise or it needs to lock, go mortise. For a straight latching restroom or corridor door with a bored prep, tubular is less door work.
9) What else do I have to specify when ordering HL6-9000RK paddles for a hospital job?
Finish first: eight are offered, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel. Then whether it is the standard version or the -95 for an L9095 electrified lock. Beyond that the HL Series carries option suffixes: B for brass base on US26 and US260, E for handles engraved PUSH and PULL, EN entrance only, EO exit only, L lead lined for imaging rooms, and SOC pin-in-socket security screws. Engraved handles and lead lining are the two most commonly missed on healthcare orders.
10) Will HL6 paddles match the push/pull hardware already on our other patient room doors?
The HL6 is the traditional Schlage hospital paddle design and it suites with existing HL solutions, so it reads consistently against older Schlage push/pull openings on the same corridor. Across a fleet, the non-handed build and eight standard architectural finishes make it straightforward to standardize. If matching another manufacturer's paddle exactly is the goal, the shape will differ.
11) What are the alternatives to Schlage HL6 hospital push/pull latches from other brands?
Two useful directions. ABH 6600 Series is the closest equivalent here, a mortise lock hospital push/pull latch on the same 2-3/4 inch backset. Where a full mortise paddle stands too far off the door, ABH 6800 Series is a low profile hospital push/pull latch and ABH 6800Q adds a quiet action with a round cover. For a paddle only replacement on lighter hardware, Kaba Ilco 459 Series push/pull paddles are another option. ABH 6000 Series is the general purpose push/pull latch rather than a mortise lock version, so it is not a drop in for an L Series mortise opening.
12) What is a lower profile alternative to a Schlage HL6 hospital push/pull latch where the paddle projection matters?
ABH offers two low profile hospital push/pull latches: the 6800 Series, which is ADA compliant, and the 6800Q, a quiet low profile latch with a round cover. Both are alternatives where the paddle projection into the corridor is the deciding factor. The Schlage HL6-9000RK is a traditional mortise paddle set rather than a low profile design, and it is non-handed, so it takes either swing without specifying a hand.
13) Is the Kaba Ilco 459 push/pull paddle a substitute for the Schlage HL6-9000RK?
They are not the same class of part. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push / pull paddle, a paddle component. The Schlage HL6-9000RK is a paddles-only mortise set that trims a mortise lock and works to a 2-3/4 inch backset with an ASA strike, ANSI 115.1 at 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch. If the requirement is paddle trim to complete a mortise lock in the door, the 459 paddle is a different item, not a drop-in for the HL6-9000RK.
14) For a healthcare facility standardizing on ADA compliant hospital push/pull hardware, what alternatives to the Schlage HL6 exist?
ABH lists ADA compliance on two of its hospital push/pull latches: the 6000 Series push/pull hospital latch and the 6800 Series low profile latch. Either can be specified where ADA compliance is the governing requirement across a facility. The Schlage HL6-9000RK covers the mortise side of that standard as a paddles-only set for a mortise lock, in zinc and steel, and is non-handed so a single part number covers openings of either swing.
15) Which hospital push/pull latch should be considered when quiet operation is the requirement?
The ABH 6800Q is a quiet low profile hospital push/pull latch with a round cover. On the Schlage side, the HL Series paddles use a dampened paddle action on depression and snap back, with a 50 percent quieter paddle operation in both the push and pull direction than the previous Schlage solution, and that damping is standard across the HL Series. The 6800Q is a low profile body; the HL6-9000RK is a traditional mortise paddle set with a short throw angle.
16) Is there an antimicrobial finish option for Schlage HL hospital push/pull hardware?
The HL Series offers antimicrobial finishes as 626AM satin chrome and 630AM satin stainless steel. On the HL6-9000RK paddle set the finishes ordered are the standard 626 and 630 among the eight offered, so if you need the AM coating on a patient care wing, call it out as part of the finish specification.
17) Can the HL6 paddles be mounted vertically instead of horizontally?
Yes. HL Series hardware offers a variety of vertical or horizontal mounting positions, which is how it gets onto narrow stile doors, doors with vision lites, and openings where the paddle has to clear other hardware. Confirm the mounting orientation on the drawing before the door is prepped, since it changes the paddle layout on the face.
18) Are Schlage HL6 hospital latches quieter than older push/pull hardware?
Noise control is the point of the redesign. The paddle action is dampened on both depression and snap back, giving a proven 50 percent quieter operation than the previous Schlage product, and that damping is standard on all HL Series hardware rather than an upcharge option. On patient room and night corridor doors that is usually the reason this hardware gets specified over a plain paddle latch.
19) What material are the HL6-9000RK paddles made of, and will they hold up in a busy corridor?
Zinc and steel construction, rated heavy duty for commercial use. On high traffic healthcare and institutional openings that is the duty level you want, and the short throw angle means the door can be opened with a forearm or hip when hands are full, which is the wear pattern these paddles are built around. Pin-in-socket security screws are available as the SOC option where tampering is a concern.
