Schlage LV9480L 17A 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage LV9480 mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
That's the door thickness the LV9480 is built for: 1-3/4 inches, the standard commercial door. Backset is 2-3/4 inches and the case measures 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inch, so the door has to carry a standard ANSI mortise pocket. Thicker doors are handled through the L Series door thickness options rather than the standard lock.
2) What does the Vandlgard free-wheeling lever on the Schlage LV9480 actually do?
The outside lever is always fixed on a storeroom function, so someone yanking down on it is loading the lock case. Vandlgard lets that outside lever free-wheel instead: it spins under abuse rather than transferring force into the hub and internal parts. The lock still opens the same way, by key outside. Vandlgard is worth specifying on schools, dorms, transit and any opening that takes deliberate abuse.
3) How does the LV9480 storeroom deadbolt function work for egress on a fire-rated stair or service door?
One motion out. Turning the inside lever retracts the deadbolt and the latchbolt together, so there is no second operation for egress even when the deadbolt is thrown. Outside, key retracts the latchbolt and key throws or retracts the deadbolt. The inside thumbturn also works the deadbolt. Outside lever stays fixed at all times, and an auxiliary latch deadlocks the latchbolt once the door closes.
4) Is the Schlage LV9480 fire rated and ANSI Grade 1?
Grade 1, certified under ANSI/BHMA A156.13-2012 Series 1000 for both operational and security, and UL listed for 3-hour fire doors. 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 it in the field. It also meets ADA requirements and the Buy American Act, which matters on federal and institutional specs.
5) Does the LV9480 mortise lock need handing specified, and what about the 12 lever?
The lock is field reversible, so the case itself handles either swing without a separate part number. The one exception is the 12 lever design, which is handed and needs RH or LH called out on the order. Every other lever design on the LV9480 ships without a handing selection.
6) What do I have to specify when ordering a Schlage LV9480, and does it come with a cylinder?
Four choices build the part: lever design (01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 12, 17, 18), rose or escutcheon (A or B wrought rose, N escutcheon, or L full face escutcheon), finish, and cylinder. On cylinder you pick P for a conventional 6-pin in the C keyway, or L for less cylinder if you are supplying your own core to match an existing system. Keying is its own selection: keyed different is standard, keyed alike if a run of openings should share one key, or none when you go less cylinder. If the keying has to fold into an existing master system, that goes in the special keying field.
7) Will the LV9480 drop into my existing strike prep, or do I need to cut the frame?
It ships with the 10-072 strike, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, square corner, 1-3/16 inch lip, with a box. That is the standard ANSI mortise strike prep, so on a frame already prepped for a Schlage L Series or another ANSI mortise lock the strike cutout lines up. The armor front is 1-1/4 x 8 inches. If your existing strike is a curved-lip or different lip length, measure the lip you need against the frame reveal before you reuse the old one.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock to the Schlage LV9480 from another manufacturer?
The Accentra 8805FL is the nearest straight equivalent: it is a Grade 1 storeroom-function mortise lock in the Accentra 8800 Series, matching the LV9480 on both grade and storeroom function. The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a second Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset, built for 1-3/4 inch doors like the LV9480 and offered with an interchangeable core option. The difference to weigh is the Vandlgard free-wheeling outside trim on the LV9480, which lets the fixed outside lever rotate without transmitting force to the lock case; neither the 8805FL nor the NM8080 is described with that feature.
9) I need a storeroom mortise lock but do not need the deadbolt - what should I order instead of the LV9480?
The LV9480 is a deadbolt-function storeroom lock: the deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key outside or thumbturn inside, in addition to the storeroom latchbolt. Where the opening only needs the keyed storeroom latch and no deadbolt, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an auxiliary deadlatch rather than a deadbolt, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with the Arcadia lever. Both keep the always-fixed outside lever and key-retracted latch behavior of a storeroom function without the separate bolt and thumbturn.
10) The opening is a classroom, not a storeroom - which mortise lock should I use in place of the LV9480?
The LV9480 is a storeroom function, so the outside lever is always fixed and only a key retracts the latchbolt, which is not how a classroom door is normally specified. For classroom openings the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both match the LV9480's 1-3/4 inch door thickness and Grade 1 rating.
11) Can I use a Baldwin 6310 mortise lock in place of a Schlage LV9480?
Not on the same door prep. The Baldwin 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock body is built on a 2-1/2 inch backset, where the LV9480 uses a 2-3/4 inch backset, so the cylinder and lever centerlines land in different places on the door. The 6310 is offered for 1-3/8 inch doors and over, while the LV9480 is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the existing prep is a 2-3/4 inch backset commercial mortise pocket, stay with a 2-3/4 inch backset lock.
12) I need the storeroom function to be electrically controlled from an access control panel - what replaces the LV9480?
The LV9480 is a mechanical lock with no electronic operation. The Command Access ML190 is a heavy duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC, so it holds the same storeroom function while allowing the outside lever to be released or locked by the panel. The BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical heavy duty mortise lock running 12V or 24V. Both keep a mortise lock case in the door rather than adding surface hardware.
13) Can I key the LV9480 alike with the Von Duprin exit devices and other Schlage locks in my building?
Levers on the L Series suite with Von Duprin exit devices and with the related LE, LM9200, LM9300 and LT products, so a corridor of exit devices and mortise locks can carry the same lever design and finish. On the keying side the standard cylinder is a conventional 6-pin in the C keyway, which is what most existing Schlage systems are built on, and keyed alike is a selectable option across multiple locks. For a higher security cylinder, the Primus 20-500 Series is the UL437 listed option.
14) Should I use a storeroom mortise lock with a deadbolt or just a storeroom latch?
The LV9480 gives you both bolts in one case. A plain storeroom lock latches and stays locked outside, which is enough for a supply room or an electrical closet that only needs key access. Add the deadbolt when the opening needs real hold in the frame after hours, or where an insurer or the spec calls for a deadbolt on an exterior or high-value room. The catch worth knowing: a thrown deadbolt on a lock without one-motion egress is a code problem, and the LV9480 avoids it because the inside lever pulls both bolts at once. If you do not need the deadbolt, a Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option.
15) What else could I use instead of a Schlage LV9480 storeroom mortise lock?
Straight mechanical equivalents in the same Grade 1 storeroom class: the Accentra 8805FL from the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080, which is spec'd for 1-3/4 inch doors and takes an interchangeable core. If the room is a classroom rather than a storeroom, the function changes, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. What none of those give you is the free-wheeling vandal-resistant lever, so on an abuse-prone opening the Vandlgard trim is the reason to stay with the LV9480.
16) How durable is the Schlage LV9480 for a high-traffic building, and what is it made of?
Heavy duty commercial hardware, cold rolled steel with zinc dichromate plating on the case. Beyond the Grade 1 rating, two details matter on abused openings: an anti-saw pin in the deadbolt to stop cut-through, and a security blocking hub that keeps the lock from being picked by pulling the levers off. Add the Vandlgard free-wheeling outside lever and it is aimed squarely at openings that get kicked and hung on.
17) What should I use if I want keypad or credential access on a mortise door instead of a keyed lock like the LV9480?
The LV9480 is a mechanical lock keyed to a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder, with no electronic option. For credential-based access on the same kind of mortise prep, the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock is a Grade 1 heavy duty unit with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating, and the TownSteel FME-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors. All three match the LV9480's Grade 1 rating and 1-3/4 inch door thickness.
18) What is the difference between the Schlage LV9480 and the Sargent 7925?
Both are Grade 1 heavy duty mortise locks with a single cylinder and a deadbolt. The Sargent 7925 is a dormitory exit function lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim, where the LV9480 is a storeroom function: on the LV9480 the outside lever is always fixed and the outside key retracts the latchbolt, with the inside lever retracting both deadbolt and latchbolt for immediate egress. Choose by how the opening is meant to be used - a dormitory exit function and a storeroom function control the outside trim differently.
19) What mortise lock do I order for the office and passage doors on the same job as the LV9480 storeroom doors?
The LV9480 covers the keyed storeroom openings. For the non-keyed doors on the same building, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, matching the LV9480's field reversible handing and heavy duty level. The Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3810S is a Grade 1 passage mortise lock with rose trim on a 2-3/4 inch backset - the same backset as the LV9480, which keeps one door prep across the openings.
20) Which mortise lock should I specify instead of the LV9480 for a behavioral health or ligature resistant opening?
The LV9480 ships with a standard lever on a wrought rose or escutcheon, which is not a ligature resistant trim. For anti-ligature 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 MRX-A-01 is the same Grade 1 heavy duty passage lockset with satin stainless ligature resistant arch trim, and the Marks USA MAR5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All are passage function, so where the opening still needs a keyed storeroom bolt the trim, not the function, is what has to change.
21) Will an Emtek 3102 mortise entrance lockset work where an LV9480 is specified?
No. The Emtek 3102 Memphis is a dummy function mortise entrance lockset - trim only, with no working latch or bolt - as are the Emtek 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan. The LV9480 is a keyed Grade 1 commercial storeroom lock whose latchbolt is retracted by outside key or inside lever and whose deadbolt is thrown by key or thumbturn. A dummy set belongs on an inactive leaf, not on a secured storeroom door.
22) Is the BEST 45H public entrance mortise lock the same thing as the Schlage LV9480?
They are both heavy duty mortise locks with field reversible operation, but the function differs. The BEST 45H is a public entrance function lock body, where the LV9480 is a storeroom function with a deadbolt: outside lever always fixed, latchbolt retracted only by outside key, deadbolt thrown by outside key or inside thumbturn. A public entrance function leaves the outside trim operable when unlocked, so it suits a door meant to be used freely during hours rather than one that stays secured.
23) Which mortise lock should I use if the doors are 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch rather than 1-3/4 inch?
The LV9480 is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where a run of doors varies across a 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch range, the Alarm Lock Trilogy DL3500CR and DL2700CR are Grade 1 electronic mortise locks in classroom function covering 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch, and the DL4500 is a Grade 1 electronic mortise deadbolt over the same thickness range. The Hager 3810E passage mortise lock covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch on a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the LV9480 backset.
24) The room needs privacy rather than keyed storeroom security - what mortise lock replaces the LV9480?
The LV9480 is keyed for storeroom use, with the outside lever always fixed and entry by key. A restroom or similar privacy opening wants a different function: the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty 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, the same backset the LV9480 uses. The NM8440 keeps a deadbolt in the case like the LV9480 does, but locked from inside rather than by key from outside.
25) What finishes does the Schlage LV9480 come in, and can I match the other doors in the building?
Eight finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless. Lever, rose and finish are the same on both sides of the door with a coordinating latch and strike, so both faces of the opening read the same. For matching a fleet, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the two that show up on most commercial interiors, and the same lever design and finish carry across the L Series and Von Duprin exit devices.
26) Can I get the LV9480 with a visual indicator showing whether the door is locked?
The 180 degree visibility indicator is an L Series option, readable from a wide angle down the corridor. On a storeroom deadbolt function it tells staff whether the deadbolt has been thrown without walking up and trying the lever. Other trim options in the same family include tactile warning, anti-microbial coatings, and the Gold Standard ligature resistant trim for behavioral health openings.
