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 HL6-9070-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to specify handing for the Schlage HL6-9070 push/pull latch?
No handing to specify. The HL6-9070 is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand, inswing and outswing. What you do choose is the mounting position, since the HL6 paddles mount vertically or horizontally to suit the opening.
2) Will the HL6-9070 hit my existing strike, or do I have to change the frame prep?
It uses the ASA strike per ANSI 115.1, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, with a 2-3/4 inch backset. If your frame is already prepped for a standard ANSI mortise lock, the strike cutout lines up. Frames prepped for a cylindrical lock will not, since a mortise body needs a pocket in the door edge.
3) How does the classroom function work on the Schlage HL6-9070 hospital latch?
Key control from the corridor side only. A key locks and unlocks the outside paddle; when it is locked, the outside paddle will not retract the latchbolt and the door stays secure. The inside paddle is always free, so anyone in the room can leave without a key or a second motion. It is a single cylinder lock, so there is no inside key. ANSI/BHMA function F05.
4) Can the HL6 push/pull latch go on a fire rated door?
Yes. The HL Series quiet push/pull latches are UL listed for all single labeled metal or wood doors, including single fire doors. The auxiliary latch deadlocks the latchbolt when the door is closed, which is what a labeled opening needs from the latching hardware.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage HL6-9070 hospital push/pull mortise latch?
The ABH 6600 Series is the nearest match. Like the HL6-9070, it is a mortise lock hospital push/pull latch built to a 2-3/4 inch backset, so the paddle operation and the mortise pocket prep line up with what the HL6-9070 needs. The HL6-9070 is a classroom function latch keyed with a single cylinder, so if the opening has to lock the outside paddle by key, confirm the 6600 is ordered in a keyed function rather than a passage one.
6) Which push/pull hospital latch should I use on a door that has no mortise pocket?
The Trimco 1562A Hospital Series is tubular rather than mortise, so it goes into a bored door prep instead of a mortise pocket, and it is a heavy duty passage latch with levers down. The Schlage HL6-9070 is a mortise latch that needs a mortise pocket and an ASA strike prep, ANSI 115.1 at 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch. The other difference to weigh is function: the 1562A is passage, so it does not lock, while the HL6-9070 is a keyed classroom latch.
7) What else could I buy instead of the Schlage HL6-9070 hospital push/pull latch?
Among hospital push/pull hardware, the closest in kind is the ABH 6600 Series mortise lock hospital push/pull latch, which carries the same 2-3/4 inch backset as the HL6-9070. If you do not need a mortise lock body behind the paddle, the ABH 6000 Series and the low profile ABH 6800 Series are latch-only push/pull sets, and the 6800Q is ABH's quiet low profile version with a round cover. The Trimco 1562A is a tubular heavy duty passage version, levers down, so it does not lock at all.
8) Should I order the HL6 mortise version or the tubular hospital latch?
The HL6-9070 is the mortise version, which pairs the push/pull paddle operation with the Schlage L Series heavy-duty mortise lock body. Pick it when you need keyed control of the opening, like a classroom or med room. The tubular HL6 is the simpler latching-only option for doors that just need hands-free push/pull, and the PL7/PL8 privacy version with a thumbturn and emergency release outside is the one for restrooms and patient bathrooms.
9) Why put a push/pull paddle on a patient room door instead of a lever?
Two reasons on a healthcare opening. The paddle has a short throw angle, so staff carrying trays, charts or equipment open the door with a hip or forearm rather than a hand. And the dampened paddle action, depression and snap back, runs a proven 50 percent quieter than the previous Schlage design, which matters where noise control is part of the patient care standard. It is a heavy duty commercial latch, zinc and steel.
10) What finishes does the Schlage HL6-9070 come in, and which one matches the rest of my building?
Eight finishes are orderable: 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. For healthcare and institutional work 626 and 630 are the usual standards, and both have antimicrobial versions (626AM and 630AM). The classic design suites with existing Schlage solutions, so it will read alongside hardware already hung on your other openings.
11) What options do I have to call out when ordering an HL6 hospital latch?
Six suffixes are available on HL Series hardware: B for brass base material on US26 and US260 finishes, E for handles engraved PUSH and PULL, EN for entrance only latch, EO for exit only latch, L for lead lined, and SOC for pin-in-socket security screws. The L option is the one to flag on imaging suite doors, and SOC on any opening where you expect the hardware to be picked at.
12) Is the HL6-9070 keyed, and do I have to order a cylinder with it?
Keyed, single cylinder, on the outside only. The paddle on the corridor side is locked and unlocked by key while the inside stays free for egress. Since it is a Schlage L Series mortise body, plan on a mortise cylinder with the right cam and a length suited to your door and trim, keyed to your facility's system.
13) I need a hospital paddle but the door does not need to lock. Is the HL6-9070 the wrong part?
It is more lock than that opening needs. The 9070 is a keyed classroom mortise lock, so you would be buying and cylinder-keying a function you will never use. For a non-locking push/pull opening look at the Trimco 1562A Hospital Series tubular passage latch or the ABH 6000 Series push/pull hospital latch instead. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is push/pull paddle hardware as well.
14) I only need a push/pull paddle on the door, not a lock. What takes the place of the HL6-9070?
The ABH 6000 Series push/pull hospital latch is an ADA compliant latching solution without the mortise lock body, and the Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle on its own. Either covers a hands-free opening that never has to be secured. The Schlage HL6-9070 carries a keyed classroom function with a single cylinder, which is what you are paying for when the outside paddle has to lock by key; on a corridor or utility door that stays unsecured, that function is not doing any work.
15) What is the difference between the ABH 6800 and 6800Q hospital latches, and how do they compare to the Schlage HL6-9070 on noise?
Both ABH units are low profile push/pull hospital latches; the 6800 is the ADA compliant low profile latch and the 6800Q is the quiet version with a round cover. The Schlage HL6-9070 addresses the same noise concern through a dampened paddle action, a proven 50 percent quieter paddle operation than the previous Schlage solution in both push and pull directions, standard on all HL Series hardware. Where the HL6-9070 differs from either 6800 is construction: it is a mortise latch in zinc and steel at a 2-3/4 inch backset, not a low profile surface style unit.
16) Which hospital push/pull latches are called out as ADA compliant if I am standardizing a healthcare facility?
The ABH 6000 Series and the ABH 6800 Series low profile latch are both identified as ADA compliant push/pull hospital latches. The Schlage HL6-9070 is an ANSI/BHMA F05 heavy duty mortise latch that is non-handed and UL listed for all single labeled metal or wood doors, including single fire doors, so on a facility standard where the openings include labeled doors and a keyed classroom function, the HL6-9070 and the ABH units answer different parts of the schedule.
17) Will an ABH 6600 hospital latch fit the same door prep as a Schlage HL6-9070?
The two share the key dimension: the ABH 6600 Series is a mortise lock hospital push/pull latch at a 2-3/4 inch backset, the same backset the Schlage HL6-9070 uses. The HL6-9070 is set up for 1-3/4 inch doors and an ASA strike, ANSI 115.1 at 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch, and it is non-handed, so before swapping either direction confirm the door thickness and the strike prep in the frame match, since the frame cutout is what usually decides the job rather than the lock body itself.
18) Can I use the Schlage HL6-9070 on a pair of doors?
The UL listing on HL Series push/pull hardware is stated for single labeled metal or wood doors, so treat it as single door hardware on a labeled opening. On unlabeled openings it is a standard mortise latch into an ASA strike, which means it needs a frame jamb or a mullion to strike into, not an adjacent active leaf.
19) Is the Schlage HL6-9070 an electrified lock?
No, the 9070 is a mechanical classroom mortise latch with no electrical option in the part. The HL6 mortise line does run to 16 mortise functions including electrified ones, so if you need fail safe or fail secure operation for an access control tie-in, that is a different function within the series, not this one.
20) Is there a lower profile alternative to the Schlage HL6-9070 for a tight corridor door?
The ABH 6800 Series and the ABH 6800Q are low profile hospital push/pull latches, the 6800Q with a round cover, and both project less into the corridor than a standard paddle assembly. The Schlage HL6-9070 uses a traditional design with a short throw angle that opens the door with a push or pull even when hands are not full, and it mounts in a variety of vertical or horizontal positions, so the mounting position is one way to work around clearance before changing product families.
