Overview

Grade 1, Mortise Locks Purpose-built to serve the commercial real estate, retail, multifamily and hospitality industries, Schlage Performance Series™ locks feature exceptional quality and style at a highly competitive price point. The PM Series offers 26 functions, including three electrified, and four mortise deadbolt functions, all made to meet Schlage’s rigorous quality standards. With popular levers and finish options, Schlage's full key system security line up, and its durable design, you can meet needs for both security and style.

Schlage PM081P ATHA 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage PM081 mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes. 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) is the standard door thickness for the PM Series mortise lock, with 1-3/8 inch (35 mm) the minimum it will work on. It will also go into doors up to 2-1/2 inches thick, but over 1-3/4 inches you have to specify the door thickness and the lock position in the door, and that is available in EE prep only.
2) Do I need to order the PM081 handed left or right?
No. Handing is field reversible on the PM Series, so one lock covers both left and right hand openings. That is useful for a property manager stocking spares across a building instead of carrying two part numbers.
3) How does a storeroom function mortise lock actually behave on the door?
Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked and only the key retracts the latch. The inside lever is always free, so anyone inside can walk out without a key. That is the standard choice for mechanical rooms, IT closets, stock rooms and any door that must stay secure but still allow free egress. The PM081 is the accessible storeroom version with cylinder.
4) Does the Schlage PM081 come with a cylinder, or do I have to order one separately?
That depends on the cylinder option you pick. Five choices exist: B (less SFIC), J (less FSIC), L (less conventional 6-pin cylinder), P (conventional 6-pin cylinder keyed 5 pin), and T (FSIC construction core). Only P ships with a working conventional cylinder. B, J and L are prepped to accept a core or cylinder you supply, which is what most facilities on an existing master key system want. T gives you a construction core to use during the build, swapped out for the permanent core at turnover.
5) What is a cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage PM081 storeroom mortise lock?
The closest same-function swaps 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 offered with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. The PM081 is itself Grade 1 storeroom with a 2-3/4 inch backset and field reversible handing. All three are keyed storeroom locks, so the lever design, rose or escutcheon style, and cylinder or core system are what you match on.
6) I need a mortise lock for a classroom rather than a storeroom door - what should I order instead of the PM081?
The PM081 is a storeroom function lock, so the outside lever stays locked and is retracted by key only. For a classroom opening, look at the Cal-Royal NM8070, a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Corbin Russwin ML2003, a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series also listed at 1-3/4 inch door thickness.
7) We need a storeroom mortise lock that can be electrically released for access control - what takes the place of the PM081?
The Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation on 24VDC, which keeps the storeroom behavior of the PM081 while adding remote release. The BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V if you are standardizing on BEST cores. The PM081 itself is a mechanical, non-electronic lock.
8) What finishes does the Schlage PM081 Athens lever come in, and can I match other hardware in the building?
Six finishes: 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. The PM Series is made to suite with other Allegion products, and it shares lever and rose styles with the PT Series tubular locks, so you can carry the same Athens lever look from the mortise openings to the cylindrical ones.
9) Is the Schlage PM081 Grade 1, and is it heavy enough for a high traffic commercial door?
It is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the heaviest commercial rating, and it is built for commercial use. The case is cold rolled steel with corrosion resistant zinc dichromate plating, and the latch is stainless steel. Schlage positions the Performance Series for commercial real estate, retail, multifamily and hospitality work.
10) What are the other Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock options besides the Schlage PM081?
Two mechanical Grade 1 storeroom mortise locks sit alongside it. The Accentra 8805FL from the 8800 Series comes with the Arcadia lever. The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. Where the Schlage earns its place is keying: the PM Series ties into Schlage's full key system line and suites with other Allegion hardware, so it is the one to pick if the building is already on Schlage keys.
11) I need an electronic storeroom lock, not a keyed one. Is the PM081 an option?
No. The PM081 is a purely mechanical, key operated mortise lock with no electronics. If you need credential or keypad access on a mortise prep, look at the Command Access ML190 Series, a heavy duty motorized mortise lock with storeroom function, field selectable EL/EU operation and 24VDC power. For Schlage electronics, the CO-100 standalone mortise lock with keypad reader is Grade 1 and fits 1-3/4 inch doors, and the ENGAGE LEMD wireless mortise lock with 125kHz proximity reader is Grade 1 with a 3 hour fire rating.
12) Does the PM081 have a deadbolt?
The PM081 is a latchbolt function lock. The PM Series mortise case can carry a 1 inch (25 mm) throw stainless steel deadbolt, and Schlage offers four mortise deadbolt functions in the series, but if you need deadbolt security on the opening you should be specifying one of those deadbolt functions rather than the accessible storeroom. For a standalone mortise deadbolt, the Sargent 4874 double cylinder mortise deadbolt uses the same 2-3/4 inch backset.
13) How much room do I need between the lever and the cylinder when laying out the PM081 door prep?
Lever to cylinder spacing is 3-7/8 inches (98 mm), and lever to thumbturn hub is 2-11/16 inches (68 mm). Work from Schlage's PM Series template for the actual cut, since the PM case and cover hole pattern is not the same as the L Series.
14) What is the mortise equivalent if the door does not need to be keyed at all?
The PM081 is a keyed storeroom lock. If the opening only needs free operation from both sides, 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 trim on a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the PM081 backset. Hager also lists the 3810E with escutcheon trim if you want a plate rather than a rose.
15) Is an electronic mortise lock a drop-in substitute for the PM081?
No. The PM081 is a non-electronic mechanical mortise lock with lever trim and a cylinder. Electronic mortise locks such as the Schlage CO-100 standalone keypad lock, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy, or the TownSteel FME-2000 with RFID are all Grade 1 mortise locks, but they need credential programming and, in several cases, a different door thickness window - the DL3500CR is listed for 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors. They also carry their own functions: the CO-100 shown is privacy and the FME-2000 is classroom, not storeroom.
16) If I only need the mortise lock body and will reuse existing trim, is there an alternative to the PM081?
The PM081 is supplied as a complete lockset with Athens lever trim in A, C or D rose or N escutcheon. If you want a body alone, BEST lists the 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function and the 45HCA with intruder function, both field reversible on the 45H platform. Note those are different functions from the PM081 storeroom, so confirm the lever behavior matches the opening before ordering.
17) What mortise lock should I use for a behavioral health or ligature resistant opening instead of the PM081?
The PM081 uses a conventional Athens lever, which is not a ligature resistant profile. For those openings TownSteel lists the MRX-L-01, a Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset, and the MRX-A-01 with ligature resistant arch trim, both passage function on 1-3/4 inch doors. Marks USA offers the 5PDN Grade 1 hospital passage push/pull paddleset, ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless.
18) The door needs privacy rather than storeroom function - what mortise lock replaces the PM081?
The PM081 keeps the outside lever locked and is meant for storage and utility doors. For a restroom or bedroom opening, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 heavy duty privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the PM081 door thickness, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock on a 2-3/4 inch backset, the same backset the PM081 uses.
19) For a dormitory corridor door, is the PM081 the right choice or is there a better mortise function?
The PM081 storeroom function locks the outside lever at all times and has no deadbolt operation from inside. For dorm corridors, the Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock in corridor/dormitory exit function with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt in the 7900 Series, which lets the occupant throw the deadbolt from inside.
20) Can I order the PM081 less cylinder if we key our own, or do I need a different brand?
No need to switch. The PM081 is offered less SFIC, less FSIC, and less conventional 6-pin cylinder, as well as with a conventional 6-pin cylinder keyed 5 or an FSIC construction core. If your facility standardizes on interchangeable cores from another line, the Cal-Royal NM8080 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset also lists an interchangeable core option.
21) Is the Athens lever the only lever style available on the PM081?
On this configuration, yes, the Athens (ATH) lever is the lever supplied. The PM Series as a whole offers 10 lever designs in zinc, and 26 functions including three electrified, so if you need a different lever profile or a different function on the same mortise case, it exists within the series.
22) Is a mortise deadbolt an alternative to the PM081 storeroom lock?
Only as a supplement, not a replacement. The PM081 is a lever handle lockset that retracts a latchbolt. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a no-handing mortise deadbolt - neither provides a lever or a latch, so an opening still needs a latching device for normal use.
