Schlage L9456P 01A 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Schlage L9456 mortise lock rated for a fire door?
The L9000 mortise locks are UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, and the UL/cUL listing covers A label single doors up to 4 x 10 feet and pairs up to 8 x 10 feet. The letter F and the UL symbol stamped on the latch front are how you confirm the lock in your hand carries the listing. Latch is ANSI/BHMA A156.13-2012 Series 1000, Grade 1 operational and Grade 1 security.
2) How does the corridor function on the Schlage L9456 actually work day to day?
The latchbolt retracts from the lever on either side, so the door operates freely until someone throws the deadbolt. The deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key outside or thumbturn inside, and throwing it locks the outside lever. Turning the inside lever pulls both the deadbolt and the latchbolt back and unlocks the outside lever at the same time, so the inside is always free for immediate egress. That is why it suits corridor and dormitory openings where the room side must never be trapped.
3) Does using an interchangeable core cylinder in the L9456 change its ANSI grade?
It does. With the conventional cylinder the lock is Grade 1 operational and Grade 1 security. Put a Schlage FSIC interchangeable core in and it stays Grade 1 operational but drops to Grade 2 security; with an SFIC core it is Grade 1 operational and Grade 3 security. If a spec on your job calls for Grade 1 security, order it with the conventional 6-pin cylinder rather than an IC prep.
4) What cylinder options do I have to choose from when ordering an L9456, and can I get it less cylinder?
Four cylinder preps: P for a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway, L for less conventional cylinder, J for Schlage FSIC less core, and B for SFIC less prep core. If your locksmith is supplying cores from an existing system, take the less-core or less-cylinder option and key it into what you already run. Keying is specified separately as keyed different or keyed alike.
5) What strike comes with the Schlage L9456 and will it work in my existing frame prep?
It ships with the 10-072 box strike, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, square corner, with a 1-3/16 inch lip. That is the standard mortise strike footprint, so a frame already prepped for a square corner mortise strike of that size takes it directly. Radius corner frames need a different strike face.
6) Can I key the Schlage L9456 to match the other locks and exit devices in my building?
Yes on both counts. Order keyed alike if you want a group of these locks on one key, or keyed different for individual openings, and the standard cylinder is a conventional 6-pin in the C keyway. Beyond that, all L Series levers suite with Von Duprin exit devices and with the LE, LM9200, LM9300 and LT products, so a facility can carry one lever design across mortise locks and exit hardware.
7) Should I use a corridor function mortise lock or a classroom function lock for a dorm or patient room?
Corridor function, which is what the L9456 is, gives the occupant control from inside: key outside or thumbturn inside throws the deadbolt and locks the outside lever, and the inside lever always releases both bolts for egress. Classroom function has no inside thumbturn, so the room can only be secured from the corridor side with a key. Pick corridor where the person inside needs to lock themselves in; pick classroom where staff control lockdown from the hall. If you want classroom, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is another Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset.
8) What is the closest equivalent to a Schlage L9456 corridor mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 7925 is the nearest match in function. It is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock with a corridor/dormitory function, rose trim, and a single cylinder deadbolt, from the 7900 Series. That mirrors how the L9456 works: the latchbolt is retracted by knob or lever from either side, the deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key outside or inside thumbturn, and throwing the deadbolt locks the outside knob or lever. Both are single cylinder keyed corridor locks with a deadbolt, so a dormitory or corridor opening specified for one can generally be met by the other.
9) If the opening does not need a deadbolt, what mortise lock should be used instead of an L9456?
Drop to a storeroom or office function lock. 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. For an office opening, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three secure the outside lever without the separate deadbolt and thumbturn that the L9456 adds, so there is one less bolt to key and throw.
10) Do I need to specify handing on a Schlage L9456 mortise lock?
The 01 lever design uses the same lever, rose and finish on both faces with a matching latch and strike, so both sides read identically. What you do have to settle on the order is the rose or escutcheon style (A or B wrought rose, N escutcheon, or L full face escutcheon), the finish, and the cylinder prep. Rose versus full face escutcheon matters most when you are covering the scars from previous hardware.
11) What finishes does the Schlage L9456 corridor lock come in for matching existing door hardware?
Twelve finishes: 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. For commercial corridors the two that turn up most on existing openings are 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless, so match the BHMA number stamped on your current hardware rather than matching by eye.
12) What is a comparable Grade 1 mortise lock to the Schlage L9456 if I need a corridor or dormitory function from another brand?
The closest peer is the Sargent 7925, a Grade 1 heavy duty corridor/dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. Like the L9456 it pairs a latch with a deadbolt on one case. If your spec is written around Schlage keyways or you are suiting to Von Duprin exit devices, stay with the L Series; if the job is already a Sargent house, the 7925 is the equivalent.
13) I want keypad or credential access on the same opening instead of a key. What Grade 1 mortise options are there?
The L9456 is a mechanical lock with no electronics, so if you need codes or cards you are choosing a different lock body. From Schlage Electronics, the LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating. The Dormakaba E-Plex 5086 is a Grade 1 pushbutton and card mortise lock. The TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three replace the key-and-thumbturn arrangement rather than adding to it.
14) How secure is the deadbolt on the Schlage L9456 against attack?
Deadbolt functions in the L9000 line carry an anti-saw pin inside the bolt to stop cut-through, and a security blocking hub keeps the lock from being picked by pulling the levers off. The case is cold rolled steel with zinc dichromate plating. The line is also listed to ANSI/ASTM F476-76 Grade 40 and is UL listed. For a higher-security cylinder, specify a UL437 listed Primus 20-500 Series cylinder.
15) Does the Schlage L9456 meet ADA and government purchasing requirements for a public building?
It meets ADA requirements, and the L Series complies with Buy American Act purchasing. All levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch or less comply with the California Referenced Standards Code. The line also carries Miami-Dade NOAs and Florida Building Commission listings, which matters if you are buying for a coastal Florida facility.
16) Is the Schlage L9456 heavy enough for a high traffic commercial corridor?
It is a heavy duty commercial mortise lock, not a residential or light commercial product, and the L9000 line is tested and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1 for both security and operational. A mortise case set into the door edge carries abuse far better than a bored lock in a high traffic corridor, which is why these show up on dorms, hospitals and office corridors.
17) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches. Can I still use a Schlage L9456?
The standard L9456 is set up for 1-3/4 inch doors, and different door thicknesses are a separate option that has to be specified on the order rather than something the standard lock covers. If you need an off-the-shelf lock rated past 1-3/4 inches, the Hager 3800 Series Grade 1 mortise locks cover 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches, and the Baldwin 6301 lever by lever entry/apartment mortise body is listed for 1-3/4 inches and over, though it uses a 2-1/2 inch backset rather than 2-3/4.
18) For a behavioral health or patient room door, what should be specified instead of an L9456?
Ligature resistant trim is the deciding factor. The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in stainless steel with a passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with satin stainless ligature resistant 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. The L9456 uses a standard 01 lever with wrought rose or escutcheon trim and adds a keyed deadbolt, which is a different trim profile than those rooms take.
19) What is the difference between an L9456 and a mortise deadbolt like the Sargent 4874?
The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and no lever operation, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is likewise a deadbolt function mortise lock. Those are bolt-only bodies that go in a separate mortise pocket. The L9456 combines both jobs in one case: a latchbolt retracted by the lever from either side plus a deadbolt worked by key outside or thumbturn inside, in a 4-7/16 inch x 6-1/16 inch x 1 inch case at a 2-3/4 inch backset. Choose the deadbolt body when the door already has its own latching hardware; choose the L9456 when one pocket has to do both.
20) Can an electronic mortise lock replace a keyed L9456 on a dorm or corridor door?
It can, if you want credentials instead of a key. The Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 electronic pushbutton and card mortise lock. The L9456 is a mechanical lock, not electronic, and is keyed with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder, so it needs no power or credential management and stays inside an existing key system.
21) For a bathroom or bedroom door, is the L9456 the right mortise lock or is a privacy lock better?
Use a privacy function there. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches. The L9456 is a keyed single cylinder lock whose deadbolt is thrown by key outside or thumbturn inside, which is more cylinder and keying than a bath or bedroom opening calls for.
22) What mortise lock goes on a corridor door that needs no keying at all?
A passage or non-keyed office function covers it. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors, and the Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon, non-keyed, also at a 2-3/4 inch backset. The L9456 is a keyed lock and ships with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder, so it brings a cylinder into a door that does not need one.
23) Will a Baldwin 6301 or 6310 mortise lock body drop into the same prep as an L9456?
No. The Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment and 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock bodies are 2-1/2 inch backset. The L9456 is a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 4-7/16 inch x 6-1/16 inch x 1 inch case and a 1-1/4 inch x 8 inch armor front. The backset difference alone means the cylinder and spindle holes land in different places on the door face, so these are not interchangeable in an existing pocket.
24) What corridor-style mortise lock fits a door thinner or thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 classroom function electronic mortise lock covering 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the DL2700CR Trilogy T2 is a Grade 1 classroom electronic mortise lock with weatherproof design over the same 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch range. The Hager 3810E passage mortise lock with escutcheon covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches. The L9456 as specified is a 1-3/4 inch door thickness lock, so on an off-thickness door one of those ranges is the safer specification.
25) If the door needs access control wired back to a panel, what replaces a mechanical corridor mortise lock?
An electrified mortise body. The Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation, 24VDC power, and a storeroom function; the BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V; and the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader, mobile enabled deadbolt with LED, Greenwich trim, right hand, rated for 3 hour fire doors. The L9456 is not electronic and is operated entirely by lever, key, and thumbturn.
26) Is the Schlage LE Series mortise lock the same security grade as the L9456?
They differ. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD mobile enabled mortise lock with push button and LED is a Grade 2 lock for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 3 hour fire rating, offering privacy, office, and apartment functions. The L9456 is Grade 1 and heavy duty, in a corridor function with a single cylinder keyed deadbolt. Where a specification calls out ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 for the opening, the L9456 meets it directly.
27) Which mortise locks accept interchangeable cores the way the L9456 does?
The Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset is offered with an interchangeable core option, and the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 Grade 1 mortise lock has no deadbolt but includes a cylinder override. The L9456 can be ordered with a B SFIC less prep core, a J Schlage FSIC less core, an L less conventional cylinder, or a P conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder, so it can be set up either for an existing small format or full size interchangeable core system or keyed conventionally.
28) Can I add a visual indicator so people can see whether the corridor lock is thrown?
The L Series offers an exclusive 180 degree visibility indicator as an option, which lets someone read locked or unlocked status from either side of the corridor rather than trying the lever. Other option families on the line include Vandlgard free-wheeling outside trim on most functions, tactile warning, anti-microbial coatings, and Gold Standard ligature resistant trim for behavioral health openings.
29) Is a BEST 45H mortise lock body a substitute for a Schlage L9456?
Only as a lock body, and only for a different function. The BEST 45H is a heavy duty mortise lock body with a public entrance function and field reversible operation, and the 45HCA is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with an intruder function. Those are body-only items with no deadbolt corridor function. The L9456 is a complete heavy duty corridor lockset with an 01 lever, rose or escutcheon trim, a 10-072 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch square corner box strike with a 1-3/16 inch lip, and a keyed deadbolt.
30) Do Emtek mortise entrance locksets work as a replacement for a corridor mortise lock?
No. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton, and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are all dummy function, meaning they are trim with no working latch or bolt. The L9456 is a keyed commercial corridor lock whose latchbolt retracts from either side and whose deadbolt is worked by key or thumbturn. Use the Emtek items on an inactive leaf, not on a door that has to latch or lock.
31) Can a mortise thumbturn like the Sargent 130KB be ordered to add deadbolt control to a lock?
Those are trim pieces, not locks. The Sargent 130KB is a standard duty mortise thumbturn from the 8200 Series and the 130W is a standard duty mortise thumbturn with a round backplate from the 7800 Series; each serves its own lock family. The L9456 already includes thumbturn actuation as part of the function, since the deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key outside or thumbturn inside, and it ships with wrought rose or escutcheon trim.
