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-HL6-9456-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Schlage HL6-9456 dormitory function actually work on a patient room or dorm door?
The latchbolt retracts from the paddle on either side. The deadbolt is thrown by key outside or thumbturn inside, and throwing it locks the outside paddle. Pushing the inside paddle retracts both the deadbolt and the latchbolt at once and unlocks the outside paddle, so the inside paddle is always free for immediate egress. That is the F13 dormitory/bedroom function, single cylinder.
2) Will the HL6-9456 fit my existing mortise prep and ASA strike?
It is a mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and uses the standard ASA strike to ANSI 115.1, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches. If the door is already prepped for a 2-3/4 inch backset mortise body with an ASA strike in the frame, the latch drops into that prep. Door thickness is 1-3/4 inches.
3) Do I need to specify handing for a Schlage HL6 push/pull latch?
No. The HL6 hospital push/pull hardware is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand openings. That matters for facilities stocking spares: one model number covers every door in the building.
4) Is this push/pull latch approved for fire doors?
The HL Series quiet push/pull latches are UL listed for all single labeled metal or wood doors, including single fire doors, and are used in healthcare, restroom, commercial and institutional openings.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage HL6-9456 hospital push/pull mortise latch?
The ABH 6600 Series is the nearest peer: it is a mortise lock hospital push/pull latch with a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the 2-3/4 inch backset of the HL6-9456. The Schlage unit is the dormitory exit function version, where the deadbolt is thrown by key or thumbturn and the inside paddle retracts both bolts for immediate egress, so confirm the ABH is ordered in a comparable keyed function before substituting.
6) If the opening does not need a deadbolt or a key, what push/pull latch should be used instead of the HL6-9456?
Use a passage-function hospital latch such as the Trimco 1562A Hospital Series push/pull latch, which is a tubular passage unit with levers down. The HL6-9456 is a keyed mortise lock with single-cylinder keyed function and a deadbolt thrown by key or thumbturn, so it is the choice only when the opening must be secured; the Trimco unit simply latches and releases from either side.
7) Which alternative fits a door where a full mortise pocket cannot be prepped?
The ABH 6800 Series low profile hospital push/pull latch and the ABH 6000 Series push/pull hospital latch are both non-mortise-lock hospital latch lines, and the Trimco 1562A is tubular. The Schlage HL6-9456 is a mortise lock and requires a mortise pocket plus an ASA strike prep, ANSI 115.1 at 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch.
8) Can a Kaba Ilco 459 push/pull paddle replace the Schlage HL6-9456?
No. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle - trim that actuates a lock - while the HL6-9456 is a complete mortise latch assembly with a single-cylinder keyed deadbolt and an F13 ANSI/BHMA function. A paddle alone will not provide the latching and deadbolt operation of the HL6-9456.
9) What options can I add when ordering a Schlage HL6 latch?
Available suffixes include 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 (x-ray rooms), and SOC for pin-in-socket security screws. Handles can also be engraved to order.
10) Why choose a push/pull paddle latch instead of a lever on a hospital door?
The paddle has a short throw angle, so staff can open the door with a push or a pull when their hands are full, no gripping or twisting. The redesigned HL Series adds a dampened paddle action on both depression and snap back, giving 50 percent quieter operation than the previous Schlage product, which is the point in patient areas where noise control matters.
11) What is the difference between the HL6 mortise latch and the tubular HL6 or PL7/PL8 privacy versions?
The HL6-9456 is the mortise version, which pairs the push/pull operation with the Schlage L Series heavy duty mortise lock body and gives you keyed and deadbolt functions like this dormitory exit function. The plain tubular HL6 is a latching solution only with no deadbolt. For a restroom or patient bathroom, the PL7/PL8 privacy design uses a thumbturn with an opposite side emergency release instead.
12) What other hospital push/pull latches could I look at besides the Schlage HL6?
For a mortise body like the HL6-9456, the closest cross-brand option is the ABH 6600 Series mortise lock hospital push/pull latch, also on a 2-3/4 inch backset. If you do not need a mortise lock, the ABH 6000 Series and the low profile ABH 6800 Series are ADA compliant push/pull latches, and the ABH 6800Q is the quiet low profile version with a round cover. The Trimco 1562A is a heavy duty tubular passage hospital latch with levers down, and Kaba Ilco offers the 459 Series push/pull paddle.
13) Is there another quiet-operation hospital latch besides the Schlage HL6?
Yes. The ABH 6800Q is a quiet low profile hospital push/pull latch with a round cover. The Schlage HL6 line uses a dampened paddle action on depression and snap back for its quiet operation, and the HL6-9456 is the mortise dormitory exit function version of that line, so it adds keyed deadbolt security that a low profile latch does not carry.
14) Does handing matter when swapping an ABH hospital latch for the Schlage HL6-9456?
The HL6-9456 is non-handed, so one part covers both swings on 1-3/4 inch doors. If you are cross-referencing to an ABH 6000, 6600, 6800, or 6800Q hospital latch, confirm handing and paddle orientation with that series before ordering, since the Schlage part number does not carry a hand designation to map across.
15) What finishes does the HL6-9456 come in, and are any of them antimicrobial?
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, and 630 satin stainless. The HL Series also offers 626AM and 630AM antimicrobial versions of the satin chrome and satin stainless finishes.
16) Is the HL6-9456 an electrified lock?
No, the HL6-9456 is a mechanical, non-electronic lock. Schlage does offer electrified options among the 16 mortise functions in the HL6 line, so if you need access control tie-in you would specify a different function in the same series and keep the same paddle look across the building.
17) Is this latch heavy enough for a high traffic hospital corridor?
It is rated heavy duty for commercial use, built on zinc and steel, and uses the Schlage L Series heavy duty mortise lock body. That is the duty level facilities specify for continuous staff traffic.
