Schlage L9473P 12A 626 RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Schlage L9473 dormitory/bedroom function actually work on the door?
The latchbolt on the L9473 retracts by lever from either side, so the door is always free to open from inside and the latch never locks. Security comes from the deadbolt, which is thrown or retracted by key from the outside and by thumbturn on the inside. That is why it suits dorm rooms, apartments and hotel-style bedrooms: the occupant deadbolts from inside without a key, staff use the key from the corridor.
2) Will the L9473 mortise lock fit my door prep and existing strike?
It is built for a 2-3/4 inch backset in a 1-3/4 inch door, with a mortise case measuring 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inch and an 1-1/4 x 8 inch armor front. The standard strike is the 10-072, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch square corner box strike with a 1-3/16 inch lip. If your frame already has an ANSI square-corner mortise strike prep of that size, it drops in; a curved-lip or T-strike frame will need the strike changed.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering an L9473?
Yes, this lock is handed and is ordered left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door (the key side): if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. Order the wrong hand and the thumbturn and keyed side end up on the wrong faces.
4) Which cylinder option should I pick if my building is keyed on an interchangeable core system?
Four cylinder choices are offered. P is the conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway, the standard as-shipped configuration. J is prepped for Schlage full-size interchangeable core, less core. B is prepped for small format interchangeable core, less core. L ships less conventional cylinder if you are supplying your own. One caveat on grading: with the lock and a conventional cylinder it is ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1 operational and security, but with FSIC it is Grade 1 operational and Grade 2 security, and with SFIC it is Grade 1 operational and Grade 3 security.
5) Can I use the L9473 on a fire rated dorm room door?
Yes. The L9000 mortise lock is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, and UL/cUL listed for A label single doors up to 4 by 10 feet and pairs to 8 by 10 feet. The letter F and the UL symbol on the latch front identify the listing. It also meets ADA requirements and is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1 for both security and operation.
6) What is the difference between the L9473 and a storeroom or classroom mortise lock?
The L9473 is a dormitory/bedroom lock: the lever always retracts the latch from both sides and locking is done by a separate deadbolt, key outside, thumbturn inside. A storeroom function such as the Accentra 8805FL or Cal-Royal NM8080 keeps the outside lever locked at all times with key entry only, which is what you want on a supply or mechanical room. A classroom function such as the Corbin Russwin ML2003 or Cal-Royal NM8070 locks and unlocks the outside lever by key with no thumbturn, so an occupant cannot deadbolt themselves in. Pick the L9473 only when the occupant needs to secure the room from inside without a key.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage L9473 dormitory mortise lock?
The Sargent 7925 is the nearest match from another manufacturer. 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. The Schlage L9473 is also Grade 1 and heavy duty, keyed as a single cylinder with a dormitory/bedroom function, where the latchbolt retracts by lever from either side and the deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key outside or thumbturn inside. Both land on the same dormitory corridor application; the Schlage offers a choice of wrought rose, full face escutcheon, or escutcheon trim.
8) I need a mortise lock for an apartment entry door instead of a dorm room - what should I order?
For an entrance/apartment function, look at the Baldwin 6301 mortise lock body, offered as knob by knob or as lever by lever (6301LS), both with a 2-1/2 inch backset and rated for doors 1-3/4 inch and over. The Schlage L9473 is a dormitory/bedroom function on a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch doors, so the backset prep differs between the two and should be confirmed against the door.
9) We want keypad access on dorm room doors - what electronic mortise lock replaces a keyed L9473?
Several standalone electronic mortise locks cover that. The Schlage CO-100-MS-40-KP is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader in a privacy function for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Alarm Lock DL4500 is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt with 2,000 user codes and a privacy keypad for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. The Schlage L9473 is not electronic - it is a mechanical lock keyed with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder as standard.
10) I need the mortise lock to release on an access control signal - what takes the place of the L9473?
The L9473 is a mechanical lock with no electrified operation. For access control, the Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC, and the BEST 45HW Series is a heavy duty wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V. Within the L Series itself, electrified functions auto detect 12V/24V DC and offer customer-selectable EL/EU, so the same lock family can cover both the mechanical and the electrified doors on a job.
11) Will the 12 lever and finish match the other Schlage hardware in my building?
The 12 lever design is one of Schlage's standard L Series levers, offered here in 12 finishes running from 605 bright brass and 606 satin brass through 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless. Trim can be ordered with A or B wrought rose, N escutcheon, or L full face escutcheon so it matches the rose style already on your other openings. L Series levers also suite with Von Duprin exit devices and with the LE, LM9200, LM9300 and LT products, so a corridor with exit devices can carry the same lever.
12) Is there a comparable Grade 1 dormitory mortise lock from another brand?
The closest equivalent we carry is the Sargent 7925, a heavy duty Grade 1 corridor/dormitory function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. Like the L9473 it is a single cylinder keyed deadbolt arrangement in a heavy duty mortise case. If the building is standardized on Schlage keyways or on Von Duprin exit devices, stay with the L9473 so the levers and keying suite.
13) My doors are 2 inches thick. Can I still use this lock?
Not as ordered. The L9473 as configured here is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, the standard commercial thickness. Thicker doors take a different door thickness option from the L Series options portfolio. If you are working with a 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch range, an Alarm Lock Trilogy DL3500CR covers that span, though it is an electronic classroom lock rather than a mechanical dormitory function, and the Hager 3800 Series mortise locks list 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch on passage and office functions.
14) How secure is the deadbolt against attack on this dorm lock?
The deadbolt carries an anti-saw pin in the bolt to resist cut-through, and the lock case uses a security blocking hub so it cannot be picked open by pulling the levers off. The case is cold rolled steel with zinc dichromate plating. The lock exceeds ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 security and operational standards and is listed to ANSI/ASTM F476-76 Grade 40. If you need a higher attack rating on the cylinder itself, a UL437 listed Primus 20-500 Series cylinder can be specified.
15) Does the L9473 ship complete with levers, trim and strike, or do I order those separately?
It comes as a complete lockset: the same 12 lever, rose and finish on both sides of the door, with the coordinating latch and strike included. You choose the cylinder option, the rose or escutcheon style, the finish and the hand when you order. The only thing you may need to add is a cylinder if you pick the L, J or B options, which ship less cylinder or less core.
16) If I do not need a keyed cylinder, what mortise lock takes the place of the L9473?
For a non-keyed opening, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath mortise lockset with a 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 for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. For pure passage with no locking at all, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating. The Schlage L9473 is keyed, using a single cylinder with key control from the outside.
17) Is a mortise deadbolt like the Sargent 4874 a substitute for the Schlage L9473?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset - deadbolt only, with no latchbolt and no lever trim, so it cannot latch a door closed on its own. The Schlage L9473 is a complete lever lockset combining both: the latchbolt retracts by lever from either side, and the deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key outside or thumbturn inside. The Kaba Ilco 185 Series is likewise a deadbolt-function mortise lock. Use a deadbolt only where a separate latch or closer already handles the door.
18) For classroom doors instead of dorm rooms, what mortise lock should I specify?
Classroom function is a different keying logic and comes from other models: the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA LA318GJ adds a classroom security indicator with an ANSI strike and steel escutcheon 8-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 7/16 inch. The Schlage L9473 is a dormitory/bedroom function with a thumbturn-operated deadbolt inside, which is not a classroom function.
19) Can I use the Schlage L9473 on a behavioral health or ligature resistant opening?
For anti-ligature openings the dedicated options are the TownSteel MRX-L-01, a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset in passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the MRX-A-01 with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim, and the Marks USA 5PDN, a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. Those three are passage function. The Schlage L9473 is a keyed dormitory/bedroom lever lock on 12 Lever trim; the L Series does offer ligature resistant trim options for behavioral health applications.
20) Is the Schlage Electronics LE Series mortise lock the same grade as the L9473?
Not the same. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD mobile-enabled mortise lock with push button and LED, covering privacy, office and apartment functions, is Grade 2 with a 3 hour fire rating for 1-3/4 inch doors. The LEMD-GRW ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and mobile-enabled deadbolt is Grade 1 with a 3 hour fire rating. The mechanical L9473 is Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors; note that the L Series levers suite with LE Series trim, so an LE opening can be matched visually to mechanical L Series doors on the same project.
21) Do I have to specify handing the way I do on the Schlage L9473, or are there reversible mortise locks?
The Schlage L9473 is handed and is ordered as left hand or right hand. If you would rather stock one lock for both swings, the BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function is field reversible, the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock is field reversible, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise locks require no handing. Those are different functions than dormitory/bedroom, so match the function first and handing second.
22) What mortise lock fits a 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door if the L9473 does not?
The Schlage L9473 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors on a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a wider thickness window, the Alarm Lock Trilogy models cover 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch: the DL2700CR is a Grade 1 classroom function electronic mortise lock with weatherproof design, and the DL3500CR is Grade 1 classroom with 300 user codes. The Hager 3810S and 3810E Grade 1 passage mortise locks on a 2-3/4 inch backset cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch doors. Function differs across all of these, so confirm the opening needs before substituting.
23) For credential or card access on dorm doors, what mortise locks compare to the L9473?
Card and RFID mortise options include the Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2, the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 back-to-back pushbutton and card mortise lock at Grade 1, the TownSteel FME-2000 Series Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID, and the Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 Grade 1 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override, no deadbolt. The L9473 is keyed mechanically with a single cylinder and includes a deadbolt operated by key or inside thumbturn.
24) Does this lock need power or any wiring?
No. The L9473 is a fully mechanical mortise lock, no power, no wiring, no batteries. If you need access control on the same opening, the L Series does offer motor-driven electrified functions that auto detect 12V or 24V DC with selectable EL/EU and RX, DPS, latchbolt and deadbolt monitoring, but that is a different model. Standalone electronic alternatives we carry include the Schlage CO-100 mortise and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066.
25) Is this lock approved for federal or government projects?
The L Series meets the Buy American Act, which is what most federal and many state-funded jobs require on door hardware. It also holds Miami-Dade NOAs and Florida Building Commission listings, useful if the project is in a Florida high velocity hurricane zone.
26) Will an Emtek mortise entrance lockset work in place of the Schlage L9473?
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 latch or bolt action. The Falcon MESC600DT is likewise a dummy escutcheon lever trim, made for M9900 Series exit devices. The Schlage L9473 is a working Grade 1 keyed lockset with a latchbolt retracted by lever from either side and a deadbolt thrown by key or thumbturn, so a dummy set is only appropriate on an inactive leaf.
27) I only need the inside thumbturn, not a whole new dormitory lock - what part is that?
A thumbturn on its own is a separate item: the Sargent 130KB is a standard duty mortise thumbturn from the 8200 Series, and the Sargent 130W is a standard duty mortise thumbturn with a round backplate from the 7800 Series. Those are trim pieces for their own lock bodies. The Schlage L9473 is a complete mortise lockset in which the deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key outside or thumbturn inside, so the thumbturn comes as part of the lock rather than as an add-on.
