Schlage L9026P 06B 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Schlage L9026 exit mortise lock for, and how does it operate from each side?
The L9026 is an exit-function mortise lock: there is no outside trim at all, just a cylinder. Turning the key from the outside retracts the latchbolt so an authorized person can get in. The inside lever is always free, so anyone inside can leave without a key or any prior knowledge. An auxiliary latch deadlocks the latchbolt when the door is closed, which is what stops the latch being shimmed or carded. Use it where you want a blank outside face and free egress, like a stairwell return, a service exit, or a back-of-house door.
2) Will a Schlage L9026 fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset?
That is exactly its prep. The L9026 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the mortise pocket needs to take a case measuring 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inches. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches, the standard configuration will not cover it, though the L cast/forged escutcheon is offered on 1-3/8 to 2-1/2 inch doors and the N wrought escutcheon on 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
3) Does the Schlage L9026 exit mortise lock have a deadbolt?
No deadbolt. The L9026 is a latchbolt-only exit function; security comes from the auxiliary latch deadlocking the latchbolt once the door is closed, plus the fact that there is no outside trim to attack. If your opening genuinely needs a thrown bolt, look at a function that includes one, such as the Sargent 7925 dormitory exit function mortise lock, which carries a single cylinder deadbolt, or a dedicated mortise deadbolt like the Sargent 4874 double cylinder with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
4) Will the Schlage L9026 latch into the strike already in my frame?
It ships with a 10-072 strike, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, square corner, with a box and a 1-3/16 inch lip. If your existing frame prep is a square-corner ANSI cutout of that size, the supplied strike drops in. Frames prepped for a radius-corner strike or a different lip length will need the frame reworked or a different strike ordered, so measure the existing cutout before you demo anything.
5) Can I key a Schlage L9026 into my existing Schlage C keyway master key system?
The standard build comes with a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway, so it drops straight into an existing Schlage C system. You can also order it less cylinder if your locksmith is supplying cores from stock, and keyed alike is available when you want one key to run several openings. Special keying instructions can be sent along with the order.
6) Is the Schlage L9026 rated for a fire door, and does it meet ANSI Grade 1?
The L9000 mortise lock is tested and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.13, Grade 1 for both security and operational, and it is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors. UL/cUL listing covers A label single doors up to 4 x 10 feet and pairs to 8 x 10 feet, with the letter F and the UL symbol stamped on the latch front. Note the grade drops if you go to interchangeable core: FSIC gives Grade 1 operational and Grade 2 security, SFIC gives Grade 1 operational and Grade 3 security. The levers also meet ADA requirements.
7) What is the closest equivalent to a Schlage L9026 exit mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 7925 is the nearest match in the comparable set. It is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock in the 7900 Series with an exit function and rose trim, though it is a corridor/dormitory function that includes a single cylinder deadbolt. The Schlage L9026 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with an exit only function and no deadbolt, using a single cylinder that retracts the latchbolt from the outside while the inside lever stays free for immediate egress. If the opening needs a deadbolt in the same case as the exit function, the 7925 carries one; if it must not have one, the L9026 is the direct fit.
8) The opening needs an outside lever that stays locked but can be keyed - is the Schlage L9026 the right function?
No. The L9026 has no outside trim at all; entry is by key only through the outside cylinder, and the inside lever is always free for egress. For an opening that needs a fixed or lockable outside lever, look at a storeroom function such as the Accentra 8805FL, a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, or the Cal-Royal NM8080, a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. Both give the outside a lever to grip where the L9026 gives only a cylinder.
9) My door is 1-5/8 inch thick - will a Schlage L9026 fit, or do I need something else?
The L9026 lock case is set up for a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Among the comparables, the Alarm Lock Trilogy locks cover thinner doors: the DL2700CR and the DL3500CR are both Grade 1 classroom function electronic mortise locks rated for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the DL4500 is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt over the same 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch range. Those are keypad locks rather than key-only exit locks, so confirm the function suits the opening before substituting.
10) I need a mortise lock for an ornamental iron or narrow stile door - can I order the Schlage L9026?
The L9026 is built for a 1-3/4 inch door with a case measuring 4-7/16 by 6-1/16 by 1 inch, which is too much lock for a narrow ornamental section. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with a round knob for 1 inch doors, in the 21 Series and 22 Series respectively. For a glass door bottom rail, the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a bottom rail lock, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock for wide stile applications.
11) Is the Baldwin 6310 mortise lock body interchangeable with a Schlage L9026?
No, the prep is different. The Baldwin 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock body uses a 2-1/2 inch backset and is listed for 1-3/8 inch and over doors, and the 6301 entry/apartment body is also 2-1/2 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch and over. The Schlage L9026 uses a 2-3/4 inch backset with a case measuring 4-7/16 by 6-1/16 by 1 inch. Swapping between a 2-1/2 inch and a 2-3/4 inch backset moves the cylinder and knob or lever centerline relative to the door edge, so the existing mortise pocket and face bore will not line up.
12) Should I use an exit function mortise lock or a storeroom function for a back door that people need to get out of?
They solve different problems. Exit function, like the L9026, has no outside trim at all, so nobody can even grab the door from outside without a key, and the inside lever is always free. A storeroom function keeps a lever on the outside that stays locked until you key it. Choose exit function when you want a blank exterior and no handle for anyone to pull on. Choose storeroom when the outside still needs a lever for access control or aesthetics; the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise with the Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option.
13) What lever styles, roses, and finishes can I get on the Schlage L9026 to match the rest of my building?
Nine lever designs are offered: 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 12, 17, and 18. Trim is A or B wrought rose, L cast/forged escutcheon, or N wrought escutcheon. Eight finishes are available: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel. Both sides of the door get the same lever, rose, and finish, with matching latch and strike. Worth knowing for a fleet standard: L Series levers suite with Von Duprin exit devices and with the LE, LM9200, LM9300, and LT products, so a corridor of mixed hardware can still read as one family.
14) Is the exit function mortise lock only available with rose trim, or can I get an escutcheon?
Both, but only those two. The exit function is offered in rose and L escutcheon trim, and the escutcheon and rose choices run A wrought rose, B wrought rose, L cast/forged escutcheon, and N wrought escutcheon. There is no outside trim on this function regardless of which you pick, so the trim decision applies to the inside lever face.
15) Can I get the Schlage L9026 with a high security key control cylinder instead of the standard one?
A UL437 listed locking cylinder is optional on L Series; specify a Primus 20-500 Series cylinder. That is the route if the opening needs patented key control and drill and pick resistance rather than the standard conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder. You can also order the lock less cylinder and have the Primus supplied separately.
16) What is a comparable Grade 1 mortise lock to the Schlage L9026 from another brand?
For a mechanical Grade 1 mortise on a 1-3/4 inch door, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 from the ML2000 Series is a Grade 1 classroom function mortise lockset, and Cal-Royal offers the NM8050 in office/entrance and the NM8070 in classroom, both Grade 1 heavy duty with an auxiliary deadlatch. Sargent's 7925 in the 7900 Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 corridor/dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. Those are all different functions, though. If the requirement is genuinely exit function with no outside trim and no deadbolt, the L9026 is what does that job; a storeroom or classroom lock leaves a lever on the outside face.
17) Is the Schlage L9026 heavy duty enough for a high traffic commercial opening?
It is a commercial heavy duty lock, Grade 1, with a case built from cold rolled steel with zinc dichromate plating. Schlage also builds in a security blocking hub that prevents picking the lock by pulling the levers off. For an apartment corridor, a school stairwell, or a hospital service door, that is the right duty class. It is not a residential lock and the prep is a commercial mortise pocket.
18) Does the Schlage L9026 meet Buy American requirements for a government or public project?
Yes, the L Series meets the Buy American Act, and it also carries Miami-Dade NOAs and Florida Building Commission listings if the job is in a high velocity hurricane zone. It is certified to ANSI/ASTM F476-76 Grade 40 and UL listed, and the levers meet ADA. For California work, all levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch (64 mm) or less comply with the California Referenced Standards Code.
19) Can I order several Schlage L9026 locks all on one key for a building?
Keyed alike is a standard option, so a run of locks can be set to open on a single key, which is how most property managers handle a group of service or stairwell doors. Keyed different is the default if you say nothing. If you have a specific keying schedule, bitting, or master key system to hit, send those requirements with the order.
20) What should I use instead of a Schlage L9026 if the door does not need to be keyed at all?
For a free-swinging opening with no key control, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock in the MA Series with field reversible operation and a fire rating. The Hager 3810S and 3810E are Grade 1 passage mortise locks in the 3800 Series with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors, the 3810S with rose trim and the 3810E with escutcheon. The L9026 is a keyed single cylinder lock and ships with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder, so it only makes sense where the outside is meant to be key-operated.
21) Can a Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt do the same job as a Schlage L9026?
No, they are different devices. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt in the 4870 Series with a 2-3/4 inch backset - a bolt only, with no latch and no lever. The Schlage L9026 is a mortise lock with a lever handle whose auxiliary latch deadlocks the latchbolt when the door is closed, and its inside lever is always free for immediate egress. A double cylinder deadbolt requires a key to retract the bolt from either side, so it does not provide the free egress the L9026 is built around.
22) Is there a mortise lock with the same exit behavior as the Schlage L9026 but with code or credential access on the outside?
Yes, several electronic mortise locks cover key-free outside access. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress electronic pushbutton and card lock in the E-Plex 5X86 Series with back to back mortise trim. The Accentra NTM623-NR is a Grade 1 nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad, no deadbolt, and cylinder override. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. The Schlage L9026 is a non-electronic lock - its only outside access is the cylinder.
23) For a behavioral health room, is the Schlage L9026 an anti-ligature option or should I use a different mortise lock?
For anti-ligature trim the comparable set has purpose-built options. The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset with a passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-A-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage function mortise lockset with satin stainless steel ligature resistant arch trim, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in the 195 Series that is ligature resistant, ADA compliant, and satin stainless steel. Note those three are passage function, where the L9026 is exit only with a keyed outside cylinder.
24) What is the difference between the Schlage L9026 and the BEST 45H public entrance mortise lock body?
The BEST 45H is a heavy duty mortise lock body with a public entrance function and field reversible operation in the 45H series. The Schlage L9026 is a heavy duty mortise lock as well and is field reversible, but its function is exit only: no outside trim, key retracts the latchbolt from outside, inside lever always free. A public entrance function keeps outside trim on the door; the L9026 does not have any. The 45H is also a lock body, where the L9026 is offered with lever, rose or escutcheon trim and finish selected as part of the order.
25) If I need the exit mortise lock to release electrically from an access control system, what replaces the Schlage L9026?
The Command Access ML190 is a motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC, heavy duty, storeroom function, in the ML190 Series. The BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation in the 45HW Wired Mortise Series. Both accept a signal from an access control panel. The Schlage L9026 is not an electronic lock - it is released by key from outside and by the free inside lever.
26) Which Grade 1 mortise lock should I use for a restroom or bedroom where the Schlage L9026 will not work?
Privacy is a different function from the L9026's exit only arrangement. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock in the 3800 Series with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Both let the occupant secure the door from inside, where the L9026 leaves the inside lever always free and puts a key cylinder on the outside.
27) Can I standardize a facility on the Schlage L9026 keyway across other Schlage mortise locks, or do the electronic ones use something else?
The L9026 ships with a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway and can be ordered less cylinder if the keying is being supplied separately. Among the Schlage Electronics comparables, the CO-100 mortise lock is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy function standalone electronic lock with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, the LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating, and the LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 LE Series mobile enabled mortise lock with a 3 hour fire rating for 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are credential-driven openings, so plan the key system around the mechanical locks and treat the electronic ones as a separate credential group.
28) Do the Emtek mortise entrance locksets work as a substitute for a Schlage L9026?
No. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are all dummy function - trim with no working latch or cylinder. The Schlage L9026 is a keyed single cylinder commercial mortise lock whose outside cylinder retracts the latchbolt. A dummy set is for the inactive leaf of a pair or a false door pull; it cannot secure or latch an opening.
