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-HL6-9486-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the hotel lock function on the Schlage HL6-9486 actually do when the guest throws the deadbolt?
Throwing the deadbolt on the HL6-9486 displays the indicator message on the outside and shuts out all keys except emergency and display keys. It builds on the HL6-9485 by adding the 09-611 "DO NOT DISTURB" indicator. If you want the indicator to read "OCCUPIED" instead, specify L583-375 when you order.
2) Does the HL6-9486 push/pull hospital latch need to be ordered handed?
No handing to specify. The HL6-9486 is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand openings across a floor or a wing. That is the practical reason facilities standardize on it: fewer part numbers on the shelf and no wrong-hand returns.
3) Will the Schlage HL6-9486 hospital latch drop into my existing mortise pocket and strike?
It uses a 2-3/4 inch backset and the standard ASA strike per ANSI 115.1, 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches, which is the common commercial mortise prep. Door thickness is 1-3/4 inches, the standard commercial door. If your existing opening is a 2-3/4 inch backset mortise pocket with an ASA strike in a 1-3/4 inch door, the prep lines up.
4) Can I use this hospital 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, so single fire door openings are covered. It is a mechanical latch with no electronics in this model.
5) What else is out there if the Schlage HL6 mortise hospital latch does not fit my opening?
ABH makes the closest direct alternative: the 6600 Series is a mortise lock hospital push/pull latch on the same 2-3/4 inch backset, so it targets the same mortise prep. If you only need latching and not a mortise lock body, the ABH 6000 Series and the low profile ABH 6800 Series are push/pull hospital latches, and the 6800Q is the quiet low profile version with a round cover. Trimco's 1562A Hospital Series is a heavy duty tubular passage push/pull with levers down. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle. Only the ABH 6600 is a mortise lock like the HL6-9486, the rest are latch or passage devices and will not give you hotel function or a deadbolt.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage HL6-9486 hospital push/pull mortise latch?
The ABH 6600 Series is the nearest match in another brand. It is a mortise lock hospital push/pull latch built to a 2-3/4 inch backset, the same backset the HL6-9486 uses. Both put a paddle-operated push/pull latch on a mortise lock case rather than a tubular latch, so the door prep is the mortise pocket type in each case. The HL6-9486 differs in that it carries the hotel lock function with a single-cylinder keyed mortise body and an indicator that displays a message when the deadbolt is thrown; confirm the function you need when specifying an ABH 6600 against it.
7) We only need push/pull operation on a patient room door with no locking. What is a simpler alternative to the HL6-9486?
For an opening that needs no key control, the Trimco 1562A Hospital Series push/pull latch is a passage-function, tubular, levers-down unit rated heavy duty. It skips the keyed mortise body entirely, so the door takes a tubular bore rather than a mortise pocket. The HL6-9486 is the opposite end of that choice: a keyed single-cylinder mortise latch with hotel lock function, which is what you want only when the room needs guest key control and a do-not-disturb indication.
8) Is the Kaba Ilco 459 push/pull paddle a substitute for the HL6-9486?
No. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle - trim that operates an existing latch or lock - while the HL6-9486 is a complete keyed mortise latch assembly with a single-cylinder hotel lock function and an ASA strike prep. If your door already has a compatible lock body and you are only replacing worn or damaged paddles, the 459 is the right scope of part. If you are replacing the whole lock, it is not.
9) Should I use the HL6 mortise version or the plain tubular HL6 push/pull latch?
Pick by whether the opening needs locking. The tubular HL6 is a latching solution only, opened by pushing or pulling the paddle. The HL6 mortise option pairs that same push/pull operation with the Schlage L Series heavy duty mortise lock body, which is what gives you keyed and deadbolt functions like the 9486 hotel function. Guest rooms, faculty offices and restrooms that have to secure go mortise; corridor and patient room doors that only need free passage do not.
10) What finishes does the Schlage HL6-9486 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 steel and 630 satin stainless steel. Schlage also publishes antimicrobial versions of 626 and 630 as 626AM and 630AM, which is what most healthcare specs call for on patient side hardware. Note the B option: brass base material is what US26 and US260 finishes are built on.
11) Why choose a push/pull hospital latch over a standard lever for a patient room or exam room?
Two reasons drive it. The short throw angle lets staff open the door with a push or pull of the paddle when their hands are full, no gripping or twisting. And the HL Series uses a dampened paddle action on both depression and snap back, which Schlage rates at 50 percent quieter than its previous push/pull hardware. On a ward where door noise wakes patients, that is the whole point of the product.
12) What options can I add when ordering the HL6-9486 hospital latch?
Six suffixes are published for the HL Series: 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 (radiology and imaging doors), and SOC for pin-in-socket security screws. On the 9486 specifically you also choose the indicator text, 09-611 for DO NOT DISTURB or L583-375 for OCCUPIED. Custom engraving on handles is available as well.
13) Is the HL6-9486 the right choice for a restroom, or should I be looking at the privacy version?
The 9486 is catalogued as a faculty, hotel and restroom function, keyed with a single cylinder, so it works on a restroom that needs key override plus an indicator. For a patient bathroom or a public restroom where you want simple privacy with no key, the PL7/PL8 privacy latch is the better fit: it is actuated by a thumbturn with an opposite side release for emergency access. Choose by whether you need keying and an occupied indicator or just a thumbturn.
14) The door has very little clearance at the jamb for a paddle. Is there a lower-profile option than the HL6-9486?
Yes. The ABH 6800 Series is a low profile hospital push/pull latch built to ADA compliance, and the ABH 6800Q is the quiet version of that low profile design with a round cover. Both reduce how far the hardware projects compared with a full mortise push/pull assembly like the HL6-9486, which mounts a lever-type paddle on a mortise case with an ASA strike prep. The trade is function: the 6800 family is a latch, while the HL6-9486 carries the keyed faculty/hotel/restroom function.
15) How does the ABH 6000 Series compare to the Schlage HL6-9486 for a corridor door?
The ABH 6000 Series is a push/pull hospital latch carrying ADA compliance, and it is the general-purpose latch in ABH's hospital line; ABH's mortise-bodied equivalent is the 6600 Series. The HL6-9486 is a mortise unit, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-3/4 inch backset and heavy duty rating. For a corridor door that needs key control at the opening, the mortise route applies; for a latch-only corridor push/pull, the 6000 covers it.
16) Our spec calls for quiet push/pull hardware on a patient wing. Which options address that?
Two lines speak to it. The Schlage HL6 Series uses a dampened paddle action on depression and snap back, rated 50 percent quieter in both push and pull directions than the prior Schlage solution, and that dampening is standard across the series including the HL6-9486. On the ABH side, the 6800Q is the quiet version of the low profile push/pull latch, with a round cover. The HL6-9486 also brings the keyed hotel lock function, which the 6800Q does not carry.
17) Is the HL6-9486 built for high traffic institutional use, and what is it made of?
It is a heavy duty commercial latch built from zinc and steel, running the Schlage L Series mortise lock body. That is the construction class you want on hospital corridors, dorm and guest room doors and other openings that cycle all day. It is not a residential grade product.
18) Can I mount the push/pull paddles vertically instead of horizontally?
Yes. The HL Series is offered in a variety of vertical and horizontal mounting positions, which is how it adapts to narrow stiles, glazed doors and openings where a horizontal paddle would conflict with other hardware. The classic design also suites with existing Schlage hardware if you are matching the rest of the building.
19) How many mortise functions are in the Schlage HL6 line if I need to standardize a whole building?
Sixteen mortise functions are offered across the HL6 line, including electrified versions, so you can run one look and one prep across guest rooms, offices, restrooms and access controlled openings and just change the function code. The 9486 itself is the mechanical hotel function with the do not disturb indicator; there is no electronics in it.
