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-HL6-9453-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the HL6-9453 fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and does it need handing?
It is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial thickness, and it is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand openings. Mortise prep with a 2-3/4 inch backset is required.
2) Can I reuse the existing strike when I install this hospital mortise latch?
It uses a standard ASA strike to ANSI 115.1, 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch. If the frame already has an ASA mortise strike prep of that size from a previous mortise lock, the latch drops into it. Frames prepped for cylindrical locks will need new prep.
3) Can the HL6 push/pull latch go on a fire door?
The HL Series quiet push/pull latches are UL listed for all single labeled metal or wood doors, including single fire doors. Pairs and other openings are outside what that listing covers.
4) Is there a simpler push/pull hospital latch if the opening does not need a key or a deadbolt?
Yes. The Trimco 1562A Hospital Series push/pull latch is a tubular passage unit with levers down and is rated heavy duty, so it gives push/pull operation with no cylinder and no locking at all. The Schlage HL6-9453 is the opposite end of that range: a keyed single-cylinder mortise lock in entrance/office function with a deadbolt thrown by a 90 degree thumbturn. Choose the Trimco where the door only needs to latch, and the HL6-9453 where the room must be secured.
5) The door is prepped for a tubular latch, not a mortise pocket. What hospital push/pull should I use instead of the HL6-9453?
Go to a tubular hospital latch. The Trimco 1562A Hospital Series is tubular in passage function, and the ABH 6000 Series is a push/pull hospital latch listed as ADA compliant. The Schlage HL6-9453 requires a mortise pocket and an ASA strike to ANSI 115.1, 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches, so it is not a drop-in for a bored tubular prep without reworking the door edge and frame.
6) Will a Kaba Ilco 459 push/pull paddle replace a Schlage HL6-9453?
No. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle, that is, the operating trim itself. The Schlage HL6-9453 is a complete hospital push/pull mortise latch with an entrance/office lock function, a single keyed cylinder, a deadbolt, and an auxiliary latch that deadlocks the latchbolt when the door closes. A paddle alone will not give you the locking or the latch, so it is a trim replacement rather than a substitute for the lock.
7) What are the alternatives to the Schlage HL6-9453 hospital push/pull latch?
The closest cross-brand equivalent is the ABH 6600 Series mortise lock hospital push/pull latch, which shares the 2-3/4 inch backset. If you do not need a mortise lock body, the ABH 6000 Series is a push/pull hospital latch, and the ABH 6800 and 6800Q are low profile versions where paddle projection in a tight corridor is a concern. The Trimco 1562A is a tubular passage push/pull latch, so it will not give you the keyed and deadbolt function the HL6-9453 provides. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle.
8) Is the Schlage HL6-9453 keyed, and is it single or double cylinder?
Keyed, single cylinder. The key works the outside only; the inside is paddle and thumbturn, so egress never needs a key.
9) What ANSI function code is the HL6-9453?
It matches ANSI/BHMA F20, the entrance/office function with deadbolt. If your door schedule calls out F20 mortise, this hardware answers that line with push/pull paddle operation instead of a lever.
10) Why would I spec a push/pull hospital latch instead of a standard mortise lever?
The paddle has a short throw angle, so a door can be opened with a push or a pull when hands are full, which is the point in patient rooms, exam rooms and med carts corridors. The HL Series paddle action is dampened on both push and pull for a 50 percent quieter operation than Schlage's previous design, which matters where noise reduction is a stated goal. A lever mortise lock is the choice where paddle projection or aesthetics rule it out.
11) What options can I add when ordering an HL6 push/pull latch?
The HL Series option suffixes are 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 most often missed on healthcare and behavioral health orders.
12) Will the HL6-9453 match the other hospital latches already on our floors?
The HL6 design is the traditional Schlage push/pull profile and suites with existing HL Series solutions, so it will read the same as tubular HL6 latches and PL7/PL8 privacy units on adjacent doors. Order the same finish number across the fleet, most commonly 626 satin chrome or 630 satin stainless, to keep the openings uniform.
13) We need a low profile paddle on a tight corridor door. Is the HL6-9453 the right choice?
If projection into the corridor is the driver, the ABH 6800 Series low profile hospital push/pull latch and the ABH 6800Q quiet low profile version with a round cover are the ones built for that. The Schlage HL6-9453 uses the traditional HL6 paddle with a short throw angle and adds a keyed mortise lock with deadbolt, so pick it when the opening has to lock, and look at the low profile ABH units when clearance governs.
14) Between the ABH 6800Q and the Schlage HL6-9453, which one addresses noise on patient room doors?
Both speak to it from different directions. The ABH 6800Q is the quiet version of ABH's low profile hospital push/pull latch with a round cover. The Schlage HL6-9453 carries the HL Series dampened paddle action on depression and snap back, rated 50 percent quieter than the previous Schlage solution in both push and pull, and it is a heavy duty keyed mortise unit rather than a latch-only device.
15) What finishes does the Schlage HL6-9453 come in?
Eight: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless. For matching existing openings in a facility, 626 and 630 are the usual institutional choices. Antimicrobial versions of the satin chrome and satin stainless finishes exist in the HL line.
16) What is the HL6-9453 made of and how heavy duty is it?
Zinc and steel construction, rated heavy duty and intended for commercial use. It is a mechanical lock, not electrified, so no power supply or door loop is needed.
17) Can the paddles be mounted vertically or horizontally?
The HL Series supports a variety of vertical and horizontal mounting positions, so the paddle orientation can be set to suit the opening and traffic direction. Handles can also be ordered engraved PUSH and PULL with the E option.
