Schlage L9456P 07A 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage L9456 corridor mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset prep?
That's exactly the prep it's built for. The L9456 is a 2-3/4 inch backset mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, with a lock case measuring 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inches and a 1-1/4 x 8 inch armor front. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, the standard configuration won't suit it; Schlage builds door thickness as a separate option on the L Series, so a thicker door needs that specified rather than the standard build.
2) What does the corridor function on a Schlage L9456 actually do day to day?
Latchbolt retracts from the lever on either side, so the door is normally free passage. A key outside or the thumbturn inside throws the deadbolt, and throwing that deadbolt locks the outside lever. Turning the inside lever pulls both the deadbolt and the latchbolt back and unlocks the outside lever again, so the inside is always free for immediate egress. That combination is why it lands on corridor and dormitory doors: someone leaving in a hurry unlocks the opening in one motion without a key.
3) Will the Schlage L9456 latch into the strike already in my frame?
It ships with the Schlage 10-072 strike, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, square corner, with a box and a 1-3/16 inch lip. That is standard ANSI mortise strike geometry, so if your frame already carries a square-corner ANSI mortise strike cutout you're on the same prep. A radius-corner frame prep or a non-ANSI strike pocket will not accept it without frame work.
4) Is the Schlage L9456 mortise lock fire rated for a 3-hour opening?
Yes. 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 a lock in hand carries the listing. Note the listing exists on the mechanical lock, but interchangeable core cylinders change the security grade, not the fire listing.
5) What cylinder option should I order on a Schlage L9456 if my building is on a small format interchangeable core system?
Four cylinder choices exist on the L9456. B is SFIC less prep core, J is Schlage FSIC less core, L is less conventional cylinder, and P is a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway. On an SFIC building you take B and drop your own core in. One thing that decides specs: with FSIC cores the lock is Grade 1 operational and Grade 2 security; with SFIC cores it is Grade 1 operational and Grade 3 security. With the conventional cylinder it holds Grade 1 for both operational and security.
6) My doors are 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches. Will a Schlage L9456 work?
Not in the standard build. The L9456 is specified at 1-3/4 inches, a single thickness. If your openings vary across that 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 range you either need the door thickness option specified on the order, which Schlage offers on the L Series, or a lock rated across the range. Alarm Lock's Trilogy mortise locks, including the DL2700CR and DL3500CR classroom models, are listed for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors.
7) What is the closest equivalent to a Schlage L9456 corridor mortise lock from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 7925 is the nearest peer in function. It is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock in the 7900 Series with a corridor/dormitory function, rose trim, and a single cylinder deadbolt. That matches the L9456 arrangement of a corridor function lock with a single cylinder keyed deadbolt at Grade 1. Both put the deadbolt in the mortise case rather than in a separate deadbolt body, so the door prep is one pocket either way.
8) Is a Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt a substitute for a Schlage L9456?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt in the 4870 Series with a 2-3/4 inch backset. It throws a bolt and nothing else, so there is no latchbolt and no lever operation on the door. The L9456 combines a latchbolt retracted by lever from either side with a deadbolt actuated by key or thumbturn, in a single case measuring 4-7/16 by 6-1/16 by 1 inch. A 4874 would be paired with separate lever trim or a pull, not used as a one-for-one replacement. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is likewise a deadbolt function mortise lock with no handing.
9) Will a Baldwin 6301 or 6310 mortise lock body drop into the same prep as a Schlage L9456?
No, the backset differs. The Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment and 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock bodies are 2-1/2 inch backset, offered knob by knob and lever by lever. The L9456 is a 2-3/4 inch backset lock. The 6301 is listed for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, the 6310 for 1-3/8 inch and over, while the L9456 is a 1-3/4 inch door lock. Swapping between them means a new lock pocket location and new trim boring.
10) What mortise lock should be specified instead of an L9456 for a behavioral health room?
Ligature resistant trim is the deciding factor. 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, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim. Where a push/pull is preferred, the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in the 195 Series, ligature resistant, ADA compliant, satin stainless steel. All three are passage function, so they do not lock; the L9456 is a keyed corridor lock.
11) What mortise lock suits an aluminum storefront or glass door rather than an L9456?
Narrow stile openings need different hardware. The Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx wireless electronic mortise lock with keypad is built for Adams Rite deadlatches, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 in the E-Plex 2000 Series is a wide stile electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock. For a glass door bottom rail, the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a bottom rail lock. The L9456 is dimensioned for a 1-3/4 inch door with a 4-7/16 by 6-1/16 by 1 inch case and a 1-1/4 by 8 inch armor front, which a storefront stile will not accept.
12) I'm ordering several L9456 locks for one floor. Can I get them keyed alike?
Keying is a required selection on the L9456. Keyed different is the standard, keyed alike is there for running multiple locks on one key, and there is a none option that pairs with the less-cylinder builds. If you have a masterkeying schedule or a specific bitting to match, there's a free-text field for special cylinder and keying requirements to carry that through with the order.
13) Can I match Schlage L9456 levers to the exit devices on the rest of my building?
All L Series levers suite with Von Duprin exit devices, and with the related L Series products LE, LM9200, LM9300 and LT. For a property manager standardizing a floor or a whole building, that means the corridor mortise locks, the stair tower exit device trim and the electronic openings can carry the same 07 lever and the same finish. Twelve finishes are offered here, from 605 bright brass through 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless.
14) Do I need to pick a rose or an escutcheon for a Schlage L9456, and what's the difference?
You pick one, and it changes the door prep as well as the look. Four trim choices are offered: A wrought rose, B wrought rose, L full face escutcheon, and N escutcheon. A rose is a compact round plate around the lever only. An escutcheon is a tall plate covering the lever and the cylinder or thumbturn together, which is what you want when you're covering an old prep or an existing escutcheon footprint on a retrofit.
15) Does the Schlage L9456 meet ADA and California accessibility requirements for lever return?
ADA requirements are met, and on the California Referenced Standards Code all levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch (64 mm) or less comply. The lock also meets the Buy American Act, and it carries Miami-Dade NOAs and Florida Building Commission listings, which is what a Florida institutional spec will ask for.
16) Is the Schlage L9456 secure enough for a dorm or student housing corridor door?
Grade 1 security and operational under ANSI/BHMA A156.13-2012, Series 1000, and it exceeds those standards. Deadbolt functions carry an anti-saw pin inside the bolt to stop cut-through, and a security blocking hub prevents picking the lock by pulling the levers off. It also holds ANSI/ASTM F476-76 Grade 40 and is UL listed. The lock case is CRS with zinc dichromate plating, heavy duty and built for commercial use.
17) What's the difference between the Schlage L9456 corridor lock and the Sargent 7925 dormitory function?
Both are Grade 1 heavy duty mortise locks built for the corridor/dormitory use case with a single cylinder deadbolt. The Sargent 7925 is a dormitory exit function in the 7900 Series and comes with rose trim. The Schlage L9456 is on the L9000 Series with a choice of two roses or two escutcheons and 12 finishes. If your building is already standardized on Schlage keyways or Von Duprin exit devices, the L9456 suites with that hardware; if the building is a Sargent house, the 7925 keeps you on one key system.
18) I need a classroom or storeroom mortise lock, not a corridor lock. What else is there?
The L9456 is corridor function, so if you need the door to stay locked to the outside at all times rather than being secured by a thrown deadbolt, look elsewhere. For classroom function, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch. For storeroom, the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom lockset with an interchangeable core option.
19) Can I use a high security key cylinder in the Schlage L9456?
A UL437 listed locking cylinder is available as an option on the L Series; specify a Primus 20-500 Series cylinder for it. The standard build comes with a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway, so if a restricted or patented key system matters for your facility, that's a decision to make at order time rather than a later swap.
20) What is the electronic equivalent if the corridor door needs to be credentialed instead of keyed?
Several mortise locks in the same 1-3/4 inch door format carry readers. 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, Greenwich trim, right hand, and carries a 3 hour fire rating. The TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress pushbutton and card lock in the 5X86 Series. The L9456 is a mechanical lock with no electronics, keyed with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder as standard.
21) What is the simpler mortise lock for a corridor door that never needs to be locked at all?
A passage function mortise lock. 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, the 3810S with rose trim and the 3810E with an escutcheon, both for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch. Those share the L9456 2-3/4 inch backset but carry no cylinder and no deadbolt.
22) For a restroom or bedroom door, what replaces a keyed corridor mortise lock?
A privacy function mortise lock. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with 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 inch. Both throw the bolt from a thumbturn without a keyed cylinder outside. The L9456 is keyed with a single cylinder, so its deadbolt can be operated by key from the outside as well as by the inside thumbturn.
23) Are the Emtek 3019, 3102, 3104 and 3106 mortise entrance locksets an alternative to a Schlage L9456?
They are not. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, meaning fixed trim with no working latch or bolt. They go on an inactive leaf or a false door. The L9456 is a commercial Grade 1 keyed corridor lock with a working latchbolt and deadbolt. The same applies to the Falcon MESC600DT, which is dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 Series exit devices rather than a lock.
24) The building keys on small format interchangeable core. What mortise lock options handle that besides ordering the L9456 less core?
The L9456 can be ordered with a B cylinder option for SFIC less prep core, or J for Schlage FSIC less core, alongside the L less conventional cylinder and P conventional 6-pin C keyway options. Among other brands, the BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body is built around that keying approach and is offered in public entrance function with field reversible operation, and the 45HCA lockbody in intruder function. The Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom lockset also lists an interchangeable core option.
25) Do the Alarm Lock Trilogy mortise locks fit the same doors as a Schlage L9456?
The door thickness ranges differ. The Alarm Lock DL2700CR and DL3500CR Trilogy electronic mortise locks are Grade 1 classroom function for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch, and the DL4500 Series Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt covers the same 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch range. The L9456 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, which falls inside that window, but the function differs: the DL2700CR and DL3500CR are classroom function with keypad entry, and the DL4500 is deadbolt function with a privacy keypad and 2,000 user codes.
26) What is the difference between a Schlage L9456 and a Cal-Royal NM8050 for an office door?
The NM8050 is a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors. Office function lets the outside lever be locked and unlocked by key or by an inside control, with a deadlatch backing up the latchbolt. The L9456 corridor function instead locks the outside lever by throwing the deadbolt, and turning the inside lever retracts both deadbolt and latchbolt and unlocks the outside lever in one motion. Both are Grade 1 and both suit a 1-3/4 inch door.
27) Is a Marks USA 21AC or 22AC ornamental iron mortise lock a substitute for an L9456?
No. The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with a round knob, built for 1 inch doors. That thickness is for narrow ornamental iron and gate stiles, not a 1-3/4 inch commercial door, which is what the L9456 is dimensioned for. They are also double cylinder, keyed both sides, where the L9456 is single cylinder with an inside thumbturn.
28) The corridor door needs to be released from an access control system. What takes the place of a mechanical L9456?
An electrified mortise lock. The Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation and 24VDC power in storeroom function, and the BEST 45HW Series is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation. The L9456 is a mechanical lock with no electronics, so its outside lever is controlled only by the deadbolt position and the key.
29) Is the Dormakaba Saffire LX-I-M002 an equal-grade alternative to a Schlage L9456?
They sit at different grades. The Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic mortise lockset with RFID and BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, in the Saffire Series. The Schlage L9456 is Grade 1. On a specification that calls for Grade 1 mortise hardware, the Saffire would not meet it; where a credentialed opening at Grade 1 is required, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is likewise Grade 2, in the LE Series, for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 3 hour fire rating.
30) Which mortise lock adds an intruder lockdown function that a corridor lock does not have?
The BEST 45HCA Series heavy duty mortise lockbody is offered with intruder function, and the TownSteel FME-4000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. Intruder function is aimed at locking the outside lever from the secure side during a lockdown. The L9456 corridor function locks the outside lever when the deadbolt is thrown by key or thumbturn, with the inside lever always free for immediate egress.
31) Can a Codelocks CL2255 be used in place of a Schlage L9456 on a commercial corridor door?
It is a lighter duty part. The Codelocks CL2255 is a medium duty electronic tubular mortise latch in the CL2000 Series with a brushed steel finish. It is a latch, not a keyed deadbolt lock, and the L9456 is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial mortise lock with a case of 4-7/16 by 6-1/16 by 1 inch. For a corridor door carrying commercial traffic and a deadbolt requirement, the CL2255 does not do the same job.
32) Is a Sargent 130KB or 130W thumbturn a replacement part for the inside of an L9456?
They are separate mortise thumbturns, not L9456 components. 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. Both are trim pieces built for Sargent lock bodies. The L9456 already includes thumbturn actuation of its deadbolt as part of the function, with the same lever, rose and finish on both sides of the door and a coordinating latch and strike.
