Schlage L9070P 42B 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Schlage L9070 classroom mortise lock actually work on a classroom door?
The L9070 is a classroom function mortise lock. The latchbolt retracts by knob or lever from either side unless the outside is locked by key, and it can only be unlocked again from outside by key. An auxiliary latch deadlocks the latchbolt when the door is closed, and the inside knob/lever is always free for immediate egress. There is no deadbolt and no inside thumbturn, so staff lock and unlock the corridor side with a key from the hallway.
2) Do I have to specify handing when I order an L9070 mortise lock?
Yes, handing has to be specified. The L9070 is a handed lock, so you need to know whether the opening is left hand, right hand, left hand reverse or right hand reverse before ordering. If you would rather have a field-reversible body, the BEST 45H heavy duty mortise lock body is listed as field reversible, though it is a public entrance function rather than classroom.
3) What cylinder comes with the Schlage L9070, and can I order it to take my own interchangeable core?
Standard is a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway, ordered as the P option. If you key your building on cores, you can order it as J for Schlage full-size interchangeable core less core, or B for small format IC less prep core. There is also an L option, less conventional cylinder, if you are supplying your own. Note the grade shifts with the cylinder: with FSIC cores the lock is Grade 1 operational and Grade 2 security, and with SFIC cores it is Grade 1 operational and Grade 3 security.
4) Is the Schlage L9070 approved for a fire rated classroom door?
Yes. L9000 Series mortise locks are UL listed for 3-hour fire doors (the exceptions are the L9076 and L9077, not the L9070), and the line is UL/cUL listed for A label single doors up to 4 by 10 feet and pairs to 8 by 10 feet. The letter F and the UL symbol on the latch front identify the listing. The lock is also certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.13, Grade 1 security and operational, and meets ADA requirements.
5) Can I key a batch of Schlage L9070 classroom locks alike across a school?
Yes. Keying is selected at order: KD keyed different is standard, KA keyed alike is available when you want multiple locks on one key, and you can choose no keying at all with the less-cylinder options. There is also a free text field for special cylinder or keying requirements if you are matching an existing master system. The standard cylinder is a conventional 6-pin in the C keyway.
6) Is the L9070 the right function if teachers need to lock the door from inside during a lockdown?
No. On the L9070, the outside is locked and unlocked only by key from the corridor side, so a teacher has to step into the hallway to secure the room. For lock-from-inside, look at a classroom security or intruder function instead: the BEST 45HCA intruder function mortise lock body, the TownSteel FME-4000 electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset, or the Marks USA LA318GJ classroom security indicator lockset. The inside knob on the L9070 is always free for egress regardless of state.
7) I need a classroom lock but with keypad access instead of a key - what should I use instead of the L9070?
The L9070 is a mechanical, non-electronic keyed classroom mortise lock. For credential or code access on the same type of opening, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 electronic mortise lock with classroom function and 300 user codes for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the DL2700CR is a Grade 1 classroom-function electronic mortise lock with a weatherproof design over the same thickness range. For RFID credentials, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the Alarm Lock units cover a thinner door range than the L9070's 1-3/4 inch.
8) What is a direct cross-reference for a Schlage L9070 classroom mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The Schlage L9070 is a Grade 1 classroom-function mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Two mechanical cross-references match that function and grade: the Corbin Russwin ML2003, a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070, a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three lock the outside lever or knob by key and keep the inside trim free for egress. Keyway, trim design, and strike prep differ between manufacturers, so verify the existing door prep and key system before substituting.
9) The door should stay locked from outside at all times - is the L9070 the right function or should I pick something else?
The L9070 is classroom function: the latchbolt retracts by knob or lever from either side unless the outside is locked by key, so the outside trim is unlocked until someone keys it. If the outside must remain locked permanently and entry is by key only, a storeroom function is the correct choice - the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option.
10) Does the L9070 come with a knob or a lever?
The L9070 as configured uses the 42 knob design on both sides, with matching rose and finish and a coordinating latch and strike. If your facility standard is a lever for ADA reasons, you would specify a lever design instead from the L Series trim range rather than the 42 knob.
11) Which rose or escutcheon should I pick for the L9070, and do they all work on a 1-3/4 inch door?
Four trim options are offered: A wrought rose, B wrought rose, L cast/forged escutcheon, and N wrought escutcheon. The L escutcheon covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/2 inch doors and the N escutcheon covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, so both work on a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door. Roses give a smaller footprint on the face; escutcheons cover more of the door, which helps when you are replacing older trim and want to hide previous prep.
12) What finishes does the Schlage L9070 come in for matching existing building hardware?
Twelve finishes are offered: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, and 643E aged bronze. 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the usual institutional standards. All L Series trim suites with Von Duprin exit devices and the related LE, LM9200, LM9300 and LT products, so a corridor of mixed lock types can still match.
13) What other brands make a Grade 1 classroom mortise lock comparable to the Schlage L9070?
Two direct mechanical equivalents: the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, also 1-3/4 inch. If your program calls for a visual status indicator on the classroom door, the Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) Does the Schlage L9070 have a deadbolt?
No deadbolt. The L9070 is a single cylinder, non-deadbolt classroom function that relies on a latchbolt with an auxiliary latch that deadlocks it when the door closes. If the opening needs a bolt, a separate mortise deadbolt such as the Sargent 4874 double cylinder mortise deadbolt with 2-3/4 inch backset covers that, or an L Series deadbolt function would combine both in one case.
15) Is the Schlage L9070 tough enough for a high traffic school or hospital corridor?
It is a heavy duty commercial mortise lock, ANSI/BHMA A156.13-2012 Series 1000, Grade 1 operational and Grade 1 security, with an ANSI F05 function designation. The case is cold rolled steel with zinc dichromate plating. A security blocking hub prevents picking by removing the levers. That is the specification normally written for institutional corridors.
16) Can I use a passage or office mortise lock in place of the L9070?
Only if the opening does not need key control. The L9070 is a keyed single-cylinder classroom lock. A Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage mortise lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset - neither locks. The Hager 3850E is an office function mortise lock with lever and escutcheon but is non-keyed, and the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a classroom door where staff must key the outside trim, keep the keyed classroom function.
17) Is a Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt an alternative to the Schlage L9070?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset with no latch or trim - it provides bolt throw only and cannot operate a door. The L9070 is a complete classroom mortise lockset with a latchbolt, auxiliary deadlatch and knob or lever trim on both faces, and it is a non-deadbolt function. The same applies to the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise deadbolt and the Alarm Lock DL4500, a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with privacy keypad. A deadbolt can supplement a latchset on the same door but does not replace one.
18) Will a Baldwin 6310 mortise lock body work where a Schlage L9070 is specified?
Not without re-prepping the door. The Baldwin 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock body uses a 2-1/2 inch backset, while the L9070 is built on a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 4-7/16 by 6-1/16 by 1 inch case. The Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment body, in both knob-by-knob and lever-by-lever versions, is also a 2-1/2 inch backset. Baldwin's function set is entry/apartment and entry/storeroom rather than classroom, so both the prep and the function differ from the L9070.
19) For a behavioral health or high-risk room, is the L9070 appropriate or is there a better mortise lock?
The L9070 uses standard knob or lever trim - the 42 knob design - which is not ligature resistant. For those openings, the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with ligature resistant satin stainless arch trim, and the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function, so if key control is required the classroom function of the L9070 is the one that provides it.
20) I want to stay with Schlage but need access control on the classroom door - what are the options next to the L9070?
The L9070 is the mechanical keyed classroom lock, supplied with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder and also offered less cylinder or prepped for FSIC and SFIC cores. Within Schlage Electronics, the CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors in privacy function, and the LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3-hour fire rating. The LE Series LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 mobile-enabled mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 3-hour fire rating. Note the grade and function differences against the L9070's Grade 1 classroom function.
21) Is there a privacy-function mortise lock that matches the L9070 for restrooms in the same building?
The L9070 is a keyed classroom lock and is not a privacy set. To standardize a facility across functions, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door thickness the L9070 is built for, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset covering 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, matching the L9070 backset.
22) If I need the classroom door tied into an access control system with electric release, what replaces the L9070?
The L9070 is a mechanical lock with no electrified option. For a fail-safe or fail-secure electrified mortise lock, the Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC, and the BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation. Both need power transfer at the hinge or frame, which the mechanical L9070 does not.
23) Does the Schlage L9070 meet Buy American requirements for a government job?
The L Series meets the Buy American Act, and the line also carries Miami-Dade NOAs and Florida Building Commission listings plus ANSI/ASTM F476-76 Grade 40 UL listing. For a higher security cylinder on the same lock, a Primus 20-500 Series UL437 listed cylinder can be specified.
24) What is the difference between the L9070 and a dormitory or public entrance function mortise lock?
The L9070 keeps the outside trim locked or unlocked only by key from the outside. The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, adding a bolt that can be thrown from inside the room. The BEST 45H heavy duty mortise lock body is offered in public entrance function with field reversible operation, which is a non-keyed-outside arrangement. Choose by who needs to control the lock and from which side, not by grade alone.
25) Can an Emtek mortise entrance set substitute for a Schlage L9070 on a commercial classroom door?
No. The Emtek 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton, 3106 Manhattan and 3019 Brisbane mortise entrance locksets are dummy function - trim only, with no latch operation and no keying. The L9070 is a commercial Grade 1 heavy duty keyed classroom mortise lock. Dummy sets belong on inactive leaves or false doors, not on an operating classroom opening.
