Schlage L9456P 03A 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the corridor function on a Schlage L9456 actually do at the door?
Latchbolt retracts by lever from either side, so the door is normally free passage. The deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key from outside or by thumbturn inside, and throwing the deadbolt locks the outside lever. Turning the inside lever pulls both the deadbolt and the latchbolt and unlocks the outside lever again, so the inside is always free for immediate egress. That is what makes it a corridor or dormitory lock: someone inside can always get out in one motion, and that same motion leaves the door usable again from outside.
2) Is the Schlage L9456 rated for a fire door?
The L9000 mortise lock is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, and UL/cUL listed for 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 what an inspector looks for. It is also certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.13, Series 1000, Grade 1 Operational and Grade 1 Security.
3) Which cylinder option should I order on a Schlage L9456 if my building is on a small format interchangeable core system?
Four cylinder choices are offered: B for SFIC less core, J for Schlage FSIC less core, L for less conventional cylinder, and P for a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway. If your building runs SFIC, order B and drop your own cores in. Worth knowing before you commit: the lock keeps Grade 1 operational either way, but security grade drops with interchangeable cores, to Grade 2 with FSIC and Grade 3 with SFIC. A conventional cylinder holds Grade 1 security.
4) Will the Schlage L9456 latch into the strike already in my frame?
The lock ships with a 10-072 strike, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, square corner, box type, with a 1-3/16 inch lip. That is the standard ANSI mortise strike footprint, so if your frame is already prepped for a square corner ANSI strike of those dimensions it drops straight in. Check lip length against your jamb: 1-3/16 inches is sized for a typical frame reveal, and a deeper trim or stop condition needs a longer lip specified.
5) Can I key the Schlage L9456 alike with the other locks on my building?
Keying is a required selection: keyed different is the standard, keyed alike is offered for grouping multiple locks onto one key, or you can order with no cylinder at all if you are supplying your own cores. Standard cylinder is a conventional 6-pin in the C keyway, and there is a free-text field for special cylinder or keying requirements if you run a restricted or master keyed system. All L Series levers also suite with Von Duprin exit devices and the related LE, LM9200, LM9300 and LT products, so a corridor door on this lock can match the trim on your exit device openings.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Schlage L9456 corridor mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 7925 is the nearest peer. It is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock with a corridor/dormitory function, rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, which is the same operating idea as the L9456: a latchbolt worked by the lever from either side plus a deadbolt thrown by key outside or thumbturn inside. The L9456 carries the same Grade 1 rating and a single cylinder keyed function on a 2-3/4 inch backset in a 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inch case. Confirm trim design and finish separately, since the 7925 is specified with rose trim while the L9456 can be ordered with a wrought rose, a full face escutcheon or an escutcheon.
7) If the opening does not need a deadbolt, what mortise lock should be used instead of the L9456?
Drop to a storeroom or office function lock. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. 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 opening through the latch alone, where the L9456 adds a separate deadbolt thrown by key or thumbturn that also locks the outside lever.
8) Is a mortise deadbolt like the Sargent 4874 a substitute for an L9456?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt function mortise lock with no handing. Both provide a deadbolt only, with no latchbolt and no lever trim, so they need a separate latch or pull to close and operate the door. The L9456 combines both in one case: a latchbolt retracted by the lever from either side and a deadbolt worked by key outside or thumbturn inside, and it is a single cylinder keyed function rather than double cylinder. On an egress opening the difference matters, since the inside lever on the L9456 retracts both the deadbolt and latchbolt in one motion.
9) What mortise lock should be used instead of an L9456 when the doors are 1-5/8 or 1-7/8 inches thick?
The Schlage L9456 is built for a 1-3/4 inch door. For thicker or thinner leaves, the Alarm Lock DL2700CR and DL3500CR Trilogy electronic mortise locks both cover a 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch range at Grade 1 with a classroom function, and the DL4500 Series electronic mortise deadbolt covers the same range at Grade 1. The Hager 3810E and 3810S 3800 Series passage locks span 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Baldwin 6310 entrance/storeroom mortise lock body covers 1-3/8 inch and over on a 2-1/2 inch backset. Note that the backset changes with the Baldwin, so the door prep is not the same.
10) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Schlage L9456 corridor lock?
The standard build uses the same lever, rose and finish on both sides of the door with a coordinating latch and strike, so the trim is symmetrical. What still has to be right is the latch orientation for your door swing, and the 06 lever design is what this build carries on both faces. Confirm the swing when you place the order.
11) What finishes and rose styles does the Schlage L9456 come in for matching existing hardware?
Twelve finishes are offered, from 605 bright brass and 606 satin brass through 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless and 643E aged bronze. Trim is a choice of A or B wrought rose, an N escutcheon, or an L full face escutcheon. For a property manager standardizing a floor, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless on a wrought rose are the two that match most existing commercial openings.
12) I want keyless entry on a corridor door instead of a keyed mortise lock. What are my options?
The L9456 is a mechanical lock, not electronic. If you want credential or code access on the same mortise prep, the Schlage LE Series mobile-enabled mortise lock is Grade 2 with a 3-hour fire rating for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage ENGAGE LEMD is a Grade 1 wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader, mobile-enabled deadbolt and LED, also 3-hour rated. For pushbutton without a network, the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is an electronic keyless mortise lock. TownSteel's FME-2000 is a Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) Is the Schlage L9456 tough enough for a high traffic commercial corridor, and what is the lock body made of?
Heavy duty, built for commercial use, and it exceeds ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 security and operational standards. The case is cold rolled steel with zinc dichromate plating. On the security side, the deadbolt carries an anti-saw pin to stop cut-through, and a security blocking hub prevents picking the lock by pulling the levers off.
14) Does the Schlage L9456 meet ADA and Buy American requirements for a government or institutional job?
Both are covered. The L Series meets ADA requirements and meets the Buy American Act. It also holds Miami-Dade NOAs and Florida Building Commission listings, and levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch (64 mm) or less comply with the California Referenced Standards Code. If your spec calls for a UL 437 cylinder, that is an option on the L Series with a Primus 20-500 Series cylinder.
15) How much of the frame and door face does a Schlage L9456 cover once it is installed?
The armor front measures 1-1/4 x 8 inches on the door edge, and the strike is 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches on the jamb. The lock body itself is 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inches inside the mortise pocket. Those are the numbers to check against an existing prep before you commit, particularly on a door already mortised for a different manufacturer's case.
16) What mortise lock is used on an unsecured corridor or closet door where no key is needed?
A passage function. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock in the MA Series with field reversible operation and a fire rating, and the Hager 3810E and 3810S 3800 Series passage locks run on a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors, the 3810E with escutcheon trim and the 3810S with rose trim. The Hager 3850E is an office function on the same backset and thickness range, non-keyed with lever and escutcheon. The Schlage L9456 shares the 2-3/4 inch backset but is keyed and carries a deadbolt, so a passage swap changes the door function, not the prep dimension.
17) What is the difference between the Schlage L9456 and a Sargent 130KB or 130W thumbturn?
The Sargent 130KB is a standard duty mortise thumbturn in the 8200 Series and the 130W is a standard duty mortise thumbturn with a round backplate in the 7800 Series. Those are trim pieces that turn a bolt in a lock case someone else supplies; they are not locks. The L9456 is a complete heavy duty mortise lock: the case measures 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inch, ships with a 10-072 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch square corner box strike with a 1-3/16 inch lip, and carries a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder as standard.
18) Can a keypad mortise lock replace a keyed corridor lock on the same door prep?
They serve different access methods. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override, the Accentra nexTouch NTM623-NR is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override and no deadbolt, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 Series is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock. The Schlage L9456 is not electronic; it is credential-free and mechanical, keyed with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder as standard and available less cylinder or prepped for Schlage FSIC or SFIC cores. If the requirement is user codes and audit rather than a keyway, the keypad locks answer it; if the requirement is a deadbolt that locks the outside lever, the L9456 does that and the nexTouch NTM623-NR carries no deadbolt.
19) Which mortise lock suits a behavioral health or anti-ligature opening rather than a standard corridor lock?
Use a ligature resistant trim design. 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, and the MRX-A-01 is the satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim version, also passage for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel, ligature resistant and ADA compliant. All three are passage function, meaning no keyed control, where the L9456 is keyed with a single cylinder and a deadbolt worked by key or thumbturn.
20) Are the Emtek Brisbane and Memphis mortise entrance locksets an alternative to a Schlage L9456?
No. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are all dummy function, meaning the trim is fixed and there is no working latch or bolt behind it. They suit an inactive leaf or a pull-only door. The Schlage L9456 is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial mortise lock with a working latchbolt, a deadbolt and a keyed single cylinder.
21) What is the difference between ordering an L9456 and ordering a BEST 45H mortise lock body?
The BEST 45HCAC is a heavy duty public entrance function mortise lock body with field reversible operation, and the 45HCAINL is a heavy duty intruder function lock body in the 40H Series. Both are lock bodies, so lever design, rose and finish are specified separately. The Schlage L9456 is ordered as a complete lock with the lever, rose and finish matched on both faces along with a coordinating latch and strike, choosing among a wrought rose, full face escutcheon or escutcheon and finishes from 605 bright brass through 630 satin stainless steel and 643E aged bronze.
22) What Schlage mortise lock offers credential access when an L9456 is specified but the facility wants card or mobile entry?
Stay within Schlage with the electronics line. The Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a mobile enabled deadbolt with LED, in Greenwich trim, right hand, with a 3 hour fire rating. The LEBMB-ADD is a Grade 2 LE Series mobile enabled mortise lock with push button and LED covering privacy, office and apartment functions for 1-3/4 inch doors, also 3 hour fire rated. The L9456 is the mechanical route on that opening: Grade 1, not electronic, and keyed with a single cylinder. Levers on the L Series suite with Von Duprin exit devices and related L Series products including LE.
23) What replaces an L9456 on a bathroom or bedroom door that only needs privacy?
Use a privacy function. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S 3800 Series is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset covering 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. The Schlage CO-100 mortise lock is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy function with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors. Privacy locks are secured from inside only, while the L9456 is a keyed single cylinder lock whose deadbolt is thrown by key from outside or thumbturn inside.
24) Does a Marks USA 21AC or 22AC ornamental iron mortise lock fit the same door as an L9456?
No. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with a round knob, both specified for a 1 inch door thickness. That is a narrow ornamental iron leaf, not a 1-3/4 inch commercial door. The Schlage L9456 is built for a 1-3/4 inch door with a 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inch case, and it is a single cylinder keyed function rather than double cylinder.
25) What mortise lock handles an electrified opening tied to an access control system instead of an L9456?
The Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC and a storeroom function, and the BEST 45HW Series is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V. The Schlage L9456 is not electronic. Within the L Series, electrified functions auto detect 12V/24V DC, have customer-selectable EL/EU, and offer RX, DPS, latchbolt monitor and deadbolt monitor.
26) For an apartment entry door, how does the Baldwin 6301 compare to a Schlage L9456?
The Baldwin 6301 is an entry/apartment mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, offered knob by knob or, as the 6301LS, lever by lever. The backset is the deciding detail: the Schlage L9456 runs a 2-3/4 inch backset, so the two do not share a door prep. The L9456 is also a corridor function where the deadbolt locks the outside lever and the inside lever retracts both bolts, and it is Grade 1 heavy duty for commercial use.
27) Is the Codelocks CL2255 a heavy duty substitute for a Schlage L9456?
No. The Codelocks CL2255 is a medium duty electronic tubular mortise latch in the CL2000 Series, supplied in a brushed steel finish. It is a latch, not a lock case with a deadbolt, and it is rated medium duty. The Schlage L9456 is heavy duty commercial hardware, Grade 1, with a 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inch case, a 1-1/4 x 8 inch armor front and a CRS body with zinc dichromate plating.
