Schlage L9465P 12A 626 RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Schlage L9465 closet/storeroom function actually work day to day?
The L9465 is a deadbolt function mortise lock. The latchbolt is retracted by the lever from either side at all times, so the door is never latched shut against anyone, and the deadbolt is thrown and retracted by key only. There is a key cylinder outside with a lever, and a lever only on the inside. That makes it a good fit for a storage room or closet you want free to walk in and out of during the day, then deadbolted by key when you lock up.
2) What door thickness and backset does the Schlage L9465 mortise lock require?
Standard prep is a 2-3/4 inch backset on a 1-3/4 inch thick door, which is the usual commercial door thickness. The mortise case measures 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inches, so the pocket in the door edge has to accept that case. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches, the L Series offers door thickness options, but the standard build here is the 1-3/4 inch version.
3) Do I have to specify handing when I order a Schlage L9465?
Yes. The L9465 is a handed lock and is built left hand or right hand, so you need to know which way the door swings and which side the hinges are on before you order. Get it wrong and the lever and cylinder end up on the wrong faces.
4) Will the L9465 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, with a 1-3/16 inch lip and a box. If your existing frame is cut for that same ANSI square corner strike, it drops in. Frames prepped for a radius (round) corner strike or a different lip length will need the strike swapped or the prep adjusted.
5) Can I get the Schlage L9465 to work on my existing building key system?
Yes, in a few ways. The standard build is a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway. If your facility runs interchangeable cores, order it with the Schlage FSIC less core prep or the SFIC less core prep and drop your own core in. There is also a less conventional cylinder option if you are supplying the cylinder yourself. Keyed different and keyed alike are both available, and you can note special keying requirements on the order.
6) Does using an interchangeable core change the security grade of the L9465?
It does. With the standard cylinder the lock is ANSI/BHMA A156.13-2012 Series 1000, Grade 1 operational and Grade 1 security. Put an FSIC interchangeable core in it and it stays Grade 1 operational but drops to Grade 2 security. With an SFIC core it is Grade 1 operational, Grade 3 security. If your spec calls for Grade 1 security in writing, that rules out the IC core versions.
7) Can the Schlage L9465 go on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. L Series mortise locks are UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, with the exception of the L9076 and L9077 functions, and the L9465 is not one of those. The UL/cUL listing covers A label single doors up to 4 by 10 feet and pairs up to 8 by 10 feet. The letter F and the UL symbol stamped on the latch front are how an inspector confirms the listing in the field.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 mortise storeroom lock to the Schlage L9465 from another manufacturer?
The Schlage L9465 is a Grade 1 mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch doors, keyed on the outside with a deadbolt operated by key. The closest peers by grade and function are the Accentra 8805FL, a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080, a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. Both are mechanical storeroom-family mortise locks rather than keypad or credential locks. The difference to check is the deadbolt: the L9465 carries a key-actuated deadbolt in addition to the latchbolt, while the 8805FL and NM8080 are catalogued as storeroom function.
9) I need an office or entrance mortise lock instead of a closet/storeroom deadbolt function - what should I use?
The Schlage L9465 keeps the latchbolt retracting by lever from both sides at all times, with the deadbolt thrown by key, which suits a closet or storeroom opening. For a conventional office or entrance opening, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The 3850E is non-keyed, so if you need key control on the outside the NM8050 is the closer match.
10) My door is 1-5/8 inch or 2 inch thick - can I still use the Schlage L9465?
The Schlage L9465 is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For thicker doors, the Hager 3810E and 3850E cover 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches and the Hager 3840S privacy lock covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches, all on a 2-3/4 inch backset. For doors in the 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch range, the Alarm Lock DL2700CR and DL3500CR Trilogy electronic mortise locks are listed for that range, though both are classroom function. The Baldwin 6310 mortise lock body is listed for 1-3/8 inch and over on a 2-1/2 inch backset, which is a different door prep.
11) Is the Schlage L9465 ADA compliant and acceptable on a government job?
The L Series meets ADA requirements, and levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch or less comply with the California Referenced Standards Code. It also meets the Buy American Act, which is what usually matters on federal and state work. There are Miami-Dade NOAs and Florida Building Commission listings on the series as well.
12) What trim and finish choices do I have to pick when ordering the L9465?
Four things get specified beyond handing and cylinder. Lever design here is the 12 lever. Rose or escutcheon is your choice of A wrought rose, B wrought rose, L full face escutcheon, or N escutcheon. Finish comes in twelve options: 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. Both sides of the door get the same lever, rose and finish as standard.
13) Will the Schlage L9465 lever match the exit devices and other locks in my building?
It will if you are running Allegion hardware. All L Series levers suite with Von Duprin exit devices and with the related L Series products LE, LM9200, LM9300 and LT. That is what lets a property manager keep one lever design across mortise locks, exit devices and electronic trim in the same corridor. The series also suites across tubular, exit device and multipoint locks.
14) What is the difference between the L9465 and a plain storeroom mortise lock?
A storeroom function locks the outside lever and you key in every time. The L9465 leaves both levers always free to retract the latch and adds a separate key-operated deadbolt, so the room is open during business hours and genuinely deadbolted when you throw the bolt. If you want the outside lever locked at all times instead, a straight storeroom lock like the Accentra 8805FL or the Cal-Royal NM8080, both Grade 1 mortise storeroom locksets, is the function you want.
15) What else could I use instead of the Schlage L9465 on a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Staying mechanical and Grade 1, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is an entrance/office mortise lockset built for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 covers the same door thickness in a classroom function. For a non-keyed opening, Hager's 3850E office lock and 3810S passage lock both use the same 2-3/4 inch backset. If you want the room on a credential instead of a key, the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) Is there an electronic version of this lock, or does the L9465 support access control?
The L9465 is a mechanical lock with no electronic components. If the opening needs credentials or remote control, look at the Schlage LE Series mortise locks or the ENGAGE LEMD, which is a Grade 1 wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating. Schlage's CO-100 standalone keypad mortise lock is another Grade 1 option for 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) Is a Sargent 4874 mortise deadbolt a substitute for the Schlage L9465?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset in the 4870 Series - it is a deadbolt only, with no lever trim or latchbolt. The Schlage L9465 is a single cylinder keyed mortise lock that combines a latchbolt operated by lever from both sides with a key-actuated deadbolt in one case measuring 4-7/16 by 6-1/16 by 1 inch. The two share the 2-3/4 inch backset, but the 4874 will not latch the door or carry a lever. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is likewise a deadbolt function mortise lock, not a lockset.
18) I want a keypad or credential mortise lock instead of a keyed L9465 - what are the options?
The Schlage L9465 is a mechanical, non-electronic lock keyed with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder. Electronic mortise alternatives in the same Grade 1 class include the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating, the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock with key override, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy with 300 user codes, and the TownSteel FME-2000 Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the DL3500CR is a classroom function lock rather than an entrance/office function.
19) The opening does not need a key - what mortise lock replaces the L9465 for a passage or privacy door?
The L9465 is keyed with a single cylinder and carries a key-actuated deadbolt, so it is more lock than a passage or privacy door needs. For passage, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose on a 2-3/4 inch backset. For privacy, 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 on a 2-3/4 inch backset.
20) Which mortise lock should I specify for a behavioral health or ligature resistant opening instead of the L9465?
The Schlage L9465 uses a 12 lever with a wrought rose or escutcheon and is a standard commercial lever lock. For ligature resistant 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 TownSteel 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. All three are passage function, so they do not provide the key control the L9465 gives.
21) I need the mortise lock to be released remotely by an access control system - what replaces the L9465?
The Schlage L9465 is a mechanical lock with no electronic operation, so access control release is not available from it. The Command Access ML190 is a heavy duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC in storeroom function, and the BEST 45HW is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V/24V operation. Both are wired mortise bodies intended to be driven by an access control panel, unlike the key-only deadbolt actuation on the L9465.
22) I want to standardize a facility on interchangeable cores - how does the L9465 compare to other mortise locks on cylinder options?
The Schlage L9465 can be ordered with an SFIC less prep core, a Schlage FSIC less core, less conventional cylinder, or a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder, so it drops into either an SFIC or FSIC keying program. The standard cylinder is the conventional 6-pin C keyway. Among peers, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset offered with an interchangeable core option, and the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock includes a key override cylinder.
23) Do I have to specify handing on the L9465, and are there mortise locks that avoid that?
Yes - the Schlage L9465 is a handed lock, ordered left hand or right hand. If you would rather stock one part for either swing, the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock and the BEST 45HCAC heavy duty mortise lock body are both field reversible, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise locks are listed as no handing. Those are different functions than the L9465, so confirm the opening needs before substituting.
24) How is the L9465 protected against someone cutting the bolt or pulling the lever off?
Deadbolt functions in the L9000 Series carry an anti-saw pin in the bolt to stop cut-through, and a security blocking hub keeps the lock from being picked by removing the levers. The lock case is cold rolled steel with zinc dichromate plating, and the locking lever bushing means there are no exposed screws on the inside levers.
25) Can I get a high security cylinder in the Schlage L9465?
Yes. A UL437 listed locking cylinder is an option on the L Series; specify a Primus 20-500 Series cylinder. That is the route to take when a storage room holds controlled stock or records and you need key control beyond a standard C keyway 6-pin cylinder.
26) Do the Emtek mortise entrance locksets work as an alternative to the Schlage L9465?
No. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function - they are non-operating trim with no latchbolt or key cylinder. The Schlage L9465 is a commercial Grade 1 keyed mortise lock with a latchbolt worked by the lever from both sides and a key-actuated deadbolt, built on CRS with zinc dichromate plating. The Emtek units suit an inactive leaf; they will not secure the opening.
