Schlage L9070BDC-06A-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage L9070BDC mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset?
That is exactly the prep it wants. The L9070BDC is built for 1-3/4 inch doors and a 2-3/4 inch backset only, with a 4-7/16 x 3-5/8 x 1 inch lock case. If your mortise pocket is cut for a different backset, this body will not drop in.
2) Do I have to order the Schlage L9070BDC handed for a left or right hand door?
No. The L9070BDC lock body is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand openings. The anti-friction tongue on the latch works either direction, which is one less SKU to carry when you are stocking spares across a building.
3) Does the BDC suffix mean the lock comes with a usable cylinder, or do I need to supply my own core?
BDC is a disposable small format interchangeable core setup: it lets you hang and operate the door now and drop your own permanent SFIC in later when the keying system is set. Worth knowing for a spec: with SFIC cores the series is rated ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 security, while FSIC cores take it to Grade 2. If your spec calls out Grade 2 security, plan on an FSIC cylinder instead.
4) Is this Schlage mortise lock approved for a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The L Series mortise locks are UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 3-hour fire listed, covering A label single doors up to 4 x 10 feet and pairs up to 8 x 10 feet. Listed locks carry the letter F and the UL symbol stamped on the latch front, which is what an inspector looks for. The only functions excluded from the 3-hour listing are L9076 and L9077.
5) I need a hands-free push/pull latch for a patient room instead of a keyed lever. What are my options?
A keyed storeroom lever is the wrong tool if the requirement is hands-free operation on a patient or exam room door. For that, look at push/pull hospital latches: the ABH 6600 Series is a mortise lock hospital push/pull latch with the same 2-3/4 inch backset, the ABH 6000 Series and the low profile ABH 6800 Series are ADA compliant push/pull latches, the 6800Q is the quiet low profile version with a round cover, and the Trimco 1562A Hospital Series is a heavy duty tubular passage push/pull with levers down. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series push/pull paddle is another option where you just need paddle trim.
6) My door is already bored for tubular hardware, not mortised. Can I still use this?
No. The L9070BDC needs a mortise pocket sized for a 4-7/16 x 3-5/8 x 1 inch case at a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it will not go into a bored door. On a tubular-prepped door the Trimco 1562A Hospital Series push/pull latch is tubular and heavy duty, which is the substitution to make rather than recutting the door.
7) What can I use instead of the Schlage L9070BDC mortise lock on a patient room door where staff need hands-free operation?
The Schlage L9070BDC is a keyed lever mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, single cylinder closet/storeroom function. If the opening calls for push/pull operation rather than a lever, the ABH 6600 Series is a mortise hospital push/pull latch that also uses a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it works in the same mortise pocket layout. The ABH 6000 Series is another push/pull hospital latch option with ADA compliance. Neither is keyed the way the L9070BDC is - they are latch-operation trim, so if you need to lock the door with a key, the Schlage lever lock is the one that does that.
8) Is a mortise lock like the L9070BDC the right choice for a storeroom or supply closet, or should I use a cylindrical lock?
For a storeroom door that gets constant staff traffic, the mortise body is the heavier answer: this one is a heavy duty commercial mortise lock in a closet/storeroom function, with a cold rolled steel case and a stainless latch, and the series exceeds ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 operational and security standards. A cylindrical lock installs faster into a bored door, but it does not give you the same case strength or the trim range. Choose mortise where the door is already prepped for it or where you want one hardware standard across corridors and storage.
9) Does the L9070BDC meet ADA and accessibility requirements for a school or healthcare corridor?
It is a lever handle lock and complies with ICC A117.1 for accessible and usable buildings. It also meets ASTM F476-76 Grade 40, and levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch or less satisfy California State Fire Marshal requirements (formerly Title 19). Miami-Dade NOAs and Florida Building Commission listings are also held for the series.
10) What finish does this Schlage L9070BDC come in, and can I match it to other L Series openings in the building?
It is supplied in 626 satin chrome. The L Series as a whole is offered in 14 finishes, 605, 606, 609, 612, 613, 619, 622, 625, 626, 626AM, 629, 630, 630AM and 643e, so 626 is straightforward to match against existing L Series trim on other doors.
11) Can I use the same L9070BDC lock body and just change the trim to levers, knobs or an escutcheon?
Trim is where the L Series opens up. There are 33 lever designs in forged brass or bronze and cast stainless, two heavy duty wrought knob designs, rose styles A, B and C plus forged AVA and MER, and two escutcheon families: L escutcheons at 7-15/16 x 1-3/4 x 7/16 inches and N escutcheons at 7-7/8 x 2-1/2 x 7/16 inches. You can run knob both sides, lever both sides, or a knob/lever mix. One limit to watch: roses cannot be combined with escutcheons on the same lock.
12) I need a behavioral health or psychiatric room lock. Does the L9070BDC offer ligature resistant trim?
Ligature resistant trim is available in the L Series in both a lever (SL1) and a knob (SK1) style, which is what you would specify for a behavioral health room. Tactile warning trim is also offered on the outside lever for designs 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 12, 17, 18, M51, M52, M81, ME1, ME2 and ME3, useful where a door leads to a hazardous area.
13) What keyway and how many keys come with a Schlage L9070BDC mortise lock?
The standard cylinder format for the series is a 6-pin pin and tumbler in the patented Schlage Everest 29 S123 keyway, and two nickel silver cut keys ship per lock. If your facility runs a high security standard, the lock is UL 437 listed when fitted with a UL 437 cylinder, and open, patented, restricted and geographic exclusive key systems are all available.
14) Is the L9070BDC an electrified lock, and does it have a deadbolt?
Neither. It is a mechanical, non-electronic lock with no access control wiring, and it is a non-deadbolt single cylinder function, so security comes from the 3/4 inch stainless latch rather than a bolt. Other functions in the L Series do carry a 1 inch throw stainless deadbolt, so if you need a bolt on that opening you want a different function number.
15) I need a lower profile latch than a Schlage L9070BDC lever lock for a tight corridor - what are my options?
The Schlage L9070BDC uses lever trim on a mortise case. Where projection into a corridor is the concern, the ABH 6800 Series is a low profile hospital push/pull latch with ADA compliance, and the ABH 6800Q is the quiet version of that low profile latch with a round cover. Both trade the keyed lever operation of the L9070BDC for push/pull actuation, so confirm the opening does not need to be locked with a key before substituting.
16) For an ADA-compliant hospital opening, do I need a push/pull latch instead of the Schlage L9070BDC?
Not necessarily. The Schlage L9070BDC is a lever-operated mortise lock, and lever operation is the accessible alternative to a knob. If the specification calls specifically for push/pull actuation, the ABH 6000 Series and ABH 6800 Series are hospital push/pull latches listed as ADA compliant. The practical decision is whether the door must also be key-locked - the L9070BDC is keyed single cylinder, the ABH push/pull latches are latch trim.
17) Which hospital latch is quietest compared to the Schlage L9070BDC mortise lock?
Among the hospital latch options, the ABH 6800Q is the quiet low profile push/pull latch with a round cover. The Schlage L9070BDC is a standard keyed mortise lock with lever trim and heavy duty rating, not marketed on quiet operation. On a patient sleeping room where noise matters and the door does not need keying, the 6800Q is the one to look at; where the door must lock, stay with the L9070BDC.
