Schlage L583-446 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Schlage L583-446 cam used for?
The L583-446 is an Adams Rite style cam for Schlage modular mortise cylinders. The cam is the tailpiece driver on the back of the cylinder, so it determines what the key turn actually engages. Adams Rite cam geometry is what you order when the cylinder is driving an Adams Rite style mortise lock rather than a standard Schlage cam. It's a commercial part, sold for use with mortise locks.
2) Is the Schlage L583-446 the right cam for an L Series mortise lock?
The L583-446 is catalogued in the Schlage L Series parts range and is made for modular mortise cylinders used with mortise locks. But note the cam itself is the Adams Rite pattern, not the standard Schlage cam. If your L Series mortise body needs the standard Schlage cam, this isn't the one. Order this when the cylinder has to drive Adams Rite style hardware.
3) Is the Schlage L583-446 cam suitable for residential door locks?
No. It's a commercial part built around modular mortise cylinders, and residential doors typically use cylindrical or tubular locks with no mortise cylinder at all. If you're working on apartment or house entry doors with standard knob or lever sets, this cam has nothing to mount to.
4) Is the Schlage L583-446 cam finish specific?
Many Schlage L Series service parts are finish specific, and this cam is sold within that range. The cam sits behind the cylinder inside the lock case so it isn't a visible finish decision the way a rose or lever is, but if you're matching a set of parts across a building, keep the finish consistent with the rest of the L Series hardware you're ordering.
5) Is this a genuine Schlage part or an aftermarket cam?
It's a certified Schlage part, model L583-446, supplied within the L Series parts program. For institutional and MRO buyers standardizing on Schlage across a facility, that matters: an aftermarket cam can fit loosely in the cylinder and give you a sloppy or incomplete key turn.
