Schlage PC50 Grade 1 Entrance/Office Cylindrical Lock with Rose

Yes on a 1-3/4 inch door. The PC50 uses a no-adjustment chassis that covers the full door range, so there is no thickness setting to make during install. Backset is 2-3/4 inches, and it drops into the standard cylindrical ANSI 161 prep, so on a door already bored for a commercial cylindrical lock you are not re-prepping anything.

One part covers both. The PC50 is field reversible and non-handed, so a property manager or contractor stocking spares does not need to split inventory by hand. Nothing to specify on the order form for handing.

On the PC50 the levers work from both sides and retract the latchbolt at all times, with no deadbolt in the lock. The ANSI function code is F82. It is the office-door pattern: the door stays operable from either side, and locking is handled at the cylinder rather than by a separate bolt.

Yes. The PC50 is fire rated and UL listed for a 3-hour fire door, which is what an institutional or MRO spec normally calls for on stairwell and corridor openings. It is also certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 for operational and security performance.

The PC50 is built around a standard ANSI strike measuring 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches, square corner, shipped as the 10-072 box strike with a 1-3/16 inch lip. If your frame is already prepped for an ANSI square corner strike of that size, the lock lands in it. Frames cut for a small T-strike or a radius corner strike will need the prep changed or a matching strike ordered.

Order the B prep for SFIC less core if your locksmith is supplying and installing the cores, or the H prep if you want an SFIC construction core in the box so the door is secure through the build and can be keyed over later. Full size interchangeable core buildings take J (less core) or T (with construction core). There is also P for a conventional cylinder and L for less cylinder entirely, which is the one to pick when the cores come from your own key system stock.

The PC50 suites with Schlage PM Series, PT Series, and ALX Series Grade 2 cylindrical locks, and every PC lever style suites with Von Duprin exit devices. That is the point for a property manager doing a floor at a time: the office doors, the stair doors with exit devices, and the lower-traffic Grade 2 openings all read as one hardware set.

It is a cylindrical lock. The PC50 installs in the common cylindrical ANSI 161 bore with a 2-3/4 inch backset, not in a mortise pocket. If your doors are prepped for a mortise case, this is the wrong body type and you want a true mortise lockset, such as the Corbin Russwin ML2003 Grade 1 or the Cal-Royal NM8050 Grade 1 Entrance/Office mortise lockset, both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.

No. PC50 is the Entrance/Office function only, levers free from both sides at all times. The PC Series does carry eight functions, four keyed (Entrance, Entrance/Office, Storeroom, Classroom Lock Exterior Lockdown), two non-keyed (Passage, Bed/Bath Privacy) and two dummy, so order the matching PC model rather than this one. If the opening is a mortise prep, the Cal-Royal NM8070 covers classroom and the NM8080 storeroom, both Grade 1 at 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Cal-Royal NM8050 is the nearest match. It is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise lockset with the entrance/office function and an auxiliary deadlatch, and it is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage PC50 is also Grade 1 with an entrance/office lock function, so the two land on the same opening and the same duty expectation. The PC50 side of the comparison brings six cylinder preps including SFIC and FSIC prep, seven lever styles, and six finishes from oil rubbed bronze through satin chrome.

The Cal-Royal NM8070 is the classroom counterpart, a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both cover the classroom function that an entrance/office lock like the Schlage PC50 does not, since the PC50 is an entrance/office function lock.

The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with an Arcadia lever. The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option and fits 1-3/4 inch doors. Both hold the storeroom function, where the Schlage PC50 is an entrance/office lock whose latchbolt is retracted by the lever from either side at all times.

Seven lever styles: Athens, Boardwalk, Broadway, Latitude, Longitude, Rhodes, and Tubular. Six finishes across all of them, 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome, and 643E Aged Bronze. Levers are solid zinc, and the rose snaps on so there are no exposed screws on the face, which matters on the tenant-facing side of a multifamily or hospitality door.

Everest 29 S123 is the standard keyway, a patented keyway that blocks unauthorized key duplication. PC Series is compatible with more than seven non-Schlage key systems, so a building already keyed on another manufacturer's system can usually stay on it. Primus is offered as a restricted, geographically exclusive upgrade where you need tighter key control.

The PC50 itself is mechanical, not electronic. Mechanical Request to Exit (RX) kits are offered for lock monitoring and are sold separately, so budget them as a line item. If you need the lock to actually be controlled electrically rather than just monitored, that is a different product: the Schlage Electronics LEMD Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with proximity reader, or the CO-100 standalone keypad mortise lock, are the electronic routes.

It is a purpose-built Grade 1 lock aimed at commercial real estate, retail, multifamily and hospitality, certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 operational and security standards. Grade 1 is the top of the three ANSI/BHMA cylindrical grades and the level commercial specs normally call for on traffic doors. Schlage grades it through cycle, resistance, door impact, warped door and bolt strength testing.

They are close in intent but differ in how they mount and what doors they take. The Hager 3850E is a 3800 Series Grade 1 office mortise lock with a lever and escutcheon, non-keyed, on a 2-3/4 inch backset, for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches thick. The Schlage PC50 also uses a 2-3/4 inch backset and is a non-keyed entrance/office function, but it carries a rose rather than an escutcheon and is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose by trim shape and door thickness at the opening.

The PC50 is a mechanical, non-electronic Grade 1 lock with a lever on both sides. The Schlage Electronics LEBMB-ADD is a mobile-enabled mortise lock with a push button and LED covering privacy, office, and apartment operation, rated Grade 2, fire rated 3 hours, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125 kHz proximity reader and mobile-enabled deadbolt with LED on Greenwich trim, right hand, also 3-hour fire rated. Pick the electronic units when credentials or access audit matter and the mechanical PC50 when they do not.

The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, in the MA Series. The Hager 3810S is a 3800 Series Grade 1 passage mortise lock with a rose on a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches. Passage locks carry no cylinder at all, while the Schlage PC50 is offered with cylinder preps ranging from SFIC and FSIC prep to a conventional cylinder or less cylinder.

The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a stainless steel Grade 1 heavy duty anti-ligature lever mortise lockset with a passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function in satin stainless steel with arch trim. 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. The Schlage PC50 uses a curved-family lever on a rose, which is the conventional trim these anti-ligature units replace.

The Sargent 7925 is a heavy duty Grade 1 dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, in the 7900 Series. It combines corridor/dormitory operation with a deadbolt in one lock body. The Schlage PC50 is a Grade 1 entrance/office lock with a latchbolt only, so the 7925 is the choice where the opening calls for a deadbolt in the same body.

The Baldwin 6301LS is an entry/apartment lever by lever mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over, and the 6310 entry/storeroom body covers 1-3/8 inch and over. The Hager 3810E passage mortise lock with escutcheon takes doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Schlage PC50 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors on a 2-3/4 inch backset, so match the backset in the existing door prep before switching.

The Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes and a classroom function for doors 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches. The DL2700CR is a Trilogy T2 electronic mortise lock with classroom function and weatherproof design in the same door range and also Grade 1. The BEST 45HZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. All replace keys with codes, where the Schlage PC50 is a mechanical, non-electronic lock.

The BEST 45HCAC is a heavy duty mortise lock body with public entrance function and field reversible operation, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock that is also field reversible. The Schlage PC50 is likewise field reversible on hand direction, so none of the three requires the hand to be called out at order time the way a handed lock does.

The BEST 45HCAINL is a heavy duty mortise lockbody with an intruder function, and the TownSteel FME-4000 Series is a heavy duty Grade 1 electronic intruder classroom mortise lockset with RFID technology for 1-3/4 inch doors. The TownSteel FME-2000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with RFID for the same door thickness. The Schlage PC50 is an entrance/office function, which does not include intruder lockdown operation.

The Command Access ML190 Series is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL and EU operation on 24VDC power and a storeroom function. It requires power run to the door and gives electric lock or electric unlock behavior on command, while the Schlage PC50 is a non-electronic mechanical lock with an entrance/office function. Choose the ML190 when the opening is tied into an access control system and the PC50 when it is stand-alone key and lever operation.

The Marks USA 21AC and 22AC are entrance double cylinder ornamental iron mortise locks with a round knob, both listed for 1 inch doors. The Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock. The Schlage PC50 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors with a lever, so it is not the choice for a 1 inch iron stile or a glass door rail.

The Alarm Lock DL1300NW is a Trilogy Networx wireless electronic mortise lock with a keypad built for Adams Rite deadlatches. The Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 Series is an electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock for wide stile doors. Both address narrow and wide aluminum stile applications, where the Schlage PC50 is a 1-3/4 inch door lock with a lever on a rose.

The Codelocks CL2255 is an electronic tubular mortise latch in the CL2000 Series with a brushed steel finish and a medium duty rating. The Schlage PC50 is a Grade 1 lock designated for commercial use. Where the specification calls for Grade 1 commercial duty, the medium duty CL2255 sits at a different duty level, so confirm what the drawing requires before swapping.

The Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock with keypad reader is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy function lock for 1-3/4 inch doors in the CO Series. It gives keypad credential entry on a privacy opening. The Schlage PC50 is a mechanical non-electronic entrance/office lock, also on 1-3/4 inch doors, so the CO-100 is the pick when the privacy door needs codes rather than keys.

The BEST 45HW Series is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V and 24V operation at a heavy duty level. It needs power transfer through the frame and door. The Schlage PC50 is a mechanical, non-electronic lock, so an opening being electrified after the fact moves to the 45HW rather than adding to the PC50.

The Baldwin 6310190RRLS is a right hand reverse lever strength entry/storeroom lever by lever mortise lock on a 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch and over. Because it is called out by hand, the hand must be confirmed at order time. The Schlage PC50 is field reversible on hand direction, so the same part covers either hand.

The rose is 3-11/25 inches in diameter, roughly 3.44 inches, and it snaps on over the chassis with no exposed screws. On a retrofit off another cylindrical lock in the same ANSI 161 prep, that footprint covers the bore and the surrounding ring; it will not hide a larger escutcheon shadow or holes drilled outside that circle.

No. The Sargent 130KB is a standard mortise thumbturn in the 8200 Series and the 130W is a mortise thumbturn with a round backplate in the 7800 Series. Both are thumbturn trim pieces, not a complete lockset with latch and lever trim. The Schlage PC50 is a full entrance/office lock with levers on both sides and a 2-3/4 inch latch backset, so a thumbturn does not replace it.

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 has no latch or lever operation. The Schlage PC50 shares the 2-3/4 inch backset but is an entrance/office lock whose latchbolt is retracted by the lever from either side at all times. Use the deadbolt as added security on an opening, not as the operating lock.

The Emtek dummy mortise entrance locksets cover that: the 3102 Memphis, the 3104 Hamilton, the 3106 Manhattan, and the 3019 Brisbane in brass are all dummy function. A dummy has no latch and no operating mechanism. The Schlage PC50 is an entrance/office lock with a working latchbolt retracted by the lever from either side, so a dummy is the pairing for the inactive leaf rather than a substitute for the lock.

Both carry Grade 1, but they operate differently. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress electronic pushbutton and card lock in a back to back mortise configuration from the E-Plex 5X86 Series. The Schlage PC50 is Grade 1 and mechanical with no electronics, using levers on both sides. The E5086 suits an opening that needs credential entry on both faces; the PC50 suits one that does not.

The Dormakaba LX-I-M002 Saffire is an electronic RFID mortise lockset with BLE mobile access at BHMA Grade 2. The Dormakaba PowerPlex P2066 Series is a mortise lock in the PowerPlex 2000 Series. The Accentra NTM623-NR is a Grade 1 nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock with a capacitive touchscreen keypad, no deadbolt, with cylinder override. The Schlage PC50 is a mechanical non-electronic lock, so credential management is not part of it.
