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
  • Proven 50% quieter paddle operation – both in the pull and push direction – than our previous solution
  • Comes standard on all HL Series hardware

Schlage SCH-HL6-9040-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage HL6-9040 hospital latch fit my existing mortise pocket and ASA strike prep?
The HL6-9040 mortise latch uses a 2-3/4 inch backset and a standard ASA strike per ANSI 115.1, 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches. If the door already has a standard commercial mortise pocket and ASA frame prep, the strike cutout carries over. It is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial thickness.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering an HL6 hospital push/pull latch?
No handing to specify. The HL6 push/pull hardware is non-handed, so the same part covers left and right hand openings. That also means a facility standardizing across many patient room and restroom doors can stock one part number and one finish instead of mirrored versions.
3) How does the privacy function work on the HL6-9040, and can staff get in during an emergency?
The paddle retracts the latchbolt from either side unless the outside lever is locked by the inside thumbturn. Operating the inside paddle, or simply closing the door, releases the outside paddle again. For emergency entry from the corridor side, you pop out the emergency button, insert the supplied emergency thumbturn into the access hole and rotate. The inside paddle is always free, so egress is never blocked.
4) Can I use this push/pull latch on a fire rated door?
The HL Series quiet push/pull latches are UL listed for all single labeled metal or wood doors, which covers single fire doors as well as general commercial and institutional openings. Pairs are not covered by that statement.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage HL6-9040 hospital push/pull mortise latch?
The nearest match from another manufacturer is the ABH 6600 Series mortise lock hospital push/pull latch, which is built on a mortise lock body with a 2-3/4 inch backset - the same backset the HL6-9040 uses. Both are paddle-operated hospital latches driving a mortise case rather than a tubular latch, so both expect a mortise pocket already prepped in the door. Confirm the function you need on the ABH side, since the HL6-9040 is specifically the bath/bedroom privacy function with an inside thumbturn and emergency release from the outside.
6) We do not have a mortise pocket in the door - what hospital push/pull latch works instead of the HL6-9040?
The HL6-9040 is a mortise latch and needs a mortise-prepped door. Where the door is bored for a tubular latch instead, the Trimco 1562A hospital push/pull latch is tubular, in a passage function with levers down. That is a passage latch, so it does not give you the privacy locking and emergency outside release the HL6-9040 provides on a patient bathroom or bedroom door - use it where the opening only needs push/pull operation without locking.
7) Can we use a Kaba Ilco 459 push/pull paddle in place of the Schlage HL6-9040?
They are not interchangeable. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle - trim that operates a lock you already have. The HL6-9040 is a complete non-handed mortise hospital latch in the bath/bedroom privacy function, ANSI/BHMA F22, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and an ASA strike per ANSI 115.1 at 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches. Use the 459 paddle where you are only changing how an existing lock is actuated; use the HL6-9040 where the latching and privacy function itself is being supplied.
8) Is the HL6-9040 a keyed lock, and what ANSI function is it?
Non-keyed. It is an ANSI/BHMA F22 bath/bedroom privacy function, controlled by thumbturn rather than a cylinder, so there is no keyway to match to a facility masterkey system. If the opening needs key control, a privacy latch is the wrong function.
9) What finishes does the Schlage HL6-9040 come in, and will it match the rest of my building's hardware?
Eight finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless and 630 satin stainless. 626 and 630 are the usual healthcare choices and match most existing commercial lever and exit hardware. Schlage also publishes antimicrobial 626AM and 630AM variants of those two.
10) What options can I add to an HL6 push/pull latch order?
Six suffixes are offered: B for brass base material on US26 and US260 finishes, E for handles engraved PUSH and PULL, EN entrance only latch, EO exit only latch, L lead lined for imaging rooms, and SOC pin-in-socket security screws. Lead lining and security screws are the two that usually get missed on healthcare and behavioral health jobs, so decide them before the order goes in.
11) What are the alternatives to the Schlage HL6 if I need a lower profile paddle or a plain push/pull with no latch?
ABH's 6800 Series is a low profile hospital push/pull latch, and the 6800Q is the quiet version of it with a round cover. ABH's 6000 Series is their standard push/pull hospital latch. If you only need a paddle and not a latching mechanism, the Kaba Ilco 459 Series push/pull paddle covers that. None of those carry the Schlage HL6's F22 bath/bedroom privacy function, so they are not substitutes on a patient bathroom door that has to lock.
12) Is there a lower-profile alternative to the Schlage HL6-9040 for a tight door or narrow stile?
Yes - the ABH 6800 Series is a low profile hospital push/pull latch, and the ABH 6800Q is the low profile version with a round cover. The HL6-9040 uses the traditional HL6 paddle with a short throw angle on a 1-3/4 inch door. If projection into the corridor or clearance at the frame is the constraint, the 6800 family addresses that directly; check the function against your opening, since the HL6-9040 is the bath/bedroom privacy version.
13) If quiet operation is the main reason we are specifying, how does the HL6-9040 compare to the ABH 6800Q?
Both are marketed on noise. The HL6-9040 carries the HL Series dampened paddle action - the depression and snap back are damped, rated 50 percent quieter in both push and pull than the prior Schlage design, and that dampening is standard across HL Series hardware. The ABH 6800Q is ABH's quiet low profile hospital push/pull latch with a round cover. The practical difference for a patient room is that the HL6-9040 is a mortise latch in the bath/bedroom privacy function with an inside thumbturn, so it also handles the locking requirement on a toilet or bedroom door.
14) We standardized on ABH hospital latches - what does moving to the Schlage HL6-9040 change for the door prep?
If the existing doors carry the ABH 6600 Series, they are already mortise prepped at a 2-3/4 inch backset, which matches the HL6-9040's 2-3/4 inch backset and ASA strike per ANSI 115.1, 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches, on a 1-3/4 inch door. If the existing hardware is the ABH 6000, 6800 or 6800Q, those are push/pull latch series rather than mortise lock bodies, so the door prep is a different question and should be verified before ordering the HL6-9040.
15) Is a push/pull hospital latch actually better for patient rooms than a standard lever?
The case for it is hands-free operation and noise. The paddle has a short throw angle so the door opens with a push or pull even when someone is carrying a tray or pushing a cart. The redesigned HL Series adds dampened paddle action on both the depression and the snap back, which Schlage rates as 50 percent quieter than the previous product, a real consideration on patient floors at night.
16) Is the HL6-9040 heavy duty enough for a high traffic hospital corridor?
It is rated heavy duty commercial, built on zinc and steel, and the mortise version uses the Schlage L Series heavy duty mortise lock body. There is nothing electronic in it, so no power, no transformer and no failure mode when the building loses power.
17) Can the HL6 paddles be mounted vertically instead of horizontally?
Yes. The HL Series offers a range of vertical and horizontal mounting positions, which is what lets it work on narrow stiles and on doors where a horizontal paddle would foul a vision light or a push plate. Engraved PUSH and PULL handles are available as the E option if you want the direction marked.
