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. They are made to suite with other Allegion products to present a quality, complete door hardware solution and provide a consistent user experience throughout your building or complex. Better yet, you can suite the PM Series mortise locks with the PT Series tubular locks, as they share lever and rose styles.

Schlage PM081P NEPA 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage PM081 mortise lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or does it need a 1-3/4 inch door?
Standard door thickness for the PM081 is 1-3/4 inches, with 1-3/8 inches the minimum the case will work in. The chassis also covers doors up to 2-1/2 inches thick, but anything over 1-3/4 inches has to be specified with the door thickness and the lock position in the door. Backset is 2-3/4 inches only, so the door and frame prep has to match that.
2) Do I have to order the Schlage PM081 handed for a left or right hand door?
No. The PM081 is field reversible, so one lock covers either hand and you set it on site. That is useful for a property manager stocking spares, since a single part number covers every opening in the building.
3) Does the Schlage PM081 come with a cylinder, or do I order the core separately?
Both ways are offered. You can take it with a conventional 6-pin cylinder keyed 5, or less the cylinder in three flavors: less SFIC, less FSIC, or less conventional 6-pin. There is also an FSIC construction core option for a jobsite where you want to key it temporarily and swap in the permanent core at turnover. Pick based on whether the building already runs a small format or full size interchangeable core system.
4) Will a Schlage PM Series mortise lock drop into a pocket cut for a Schlage L Series?
Not without checking the prep. The PM and L Series case and cover holes differ, so the mounting hole pattern is not the same even though both are mortise locks. Treat a PM081 going into an existing L Series pocket as a re-prep, not a straight swap.
5) What is a cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage PM081 storeroom mortise lock?
The closest straight equivalents are the Accentra 8805FL, a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with the 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 a Grade 1 keyed storeroom mortise lock in the PM Series with a 2-3/4 inch backset and field reversible handing. All three keep the door locked from outside with key entry only, so any of the three suits a storeroom, mechanical room, or janitor closet. Where the three differ is trim and keying: the PM081 is ordered with the Neptune lever and an A, C, or D rose or N escutcheon, and with a conventional 6-pin cylinder, less SFIC, less FSIC, less conventional cylinder, or an FSIC construction core.
6) My door has a 2-1/2 inch backset. Will the Schlage PM081 work, and what is the alternative?
No. The PM081 is built on a 2-3/4 inch backset only. For a 2-1/2 inch backset storeroom opening, the Baldwin 6310 is an entry/storeroom mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset in a knob by knob configuration for doors 1-3/8 inch and over, and the Baldwin 6310190RRLS is the lever by lever version on the same 2-1/2 inch backset, prepped right hand reverse. Baldwin's 6301 and 6301LS are the entrance/apartment function on the same 2-1/2 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch and over.
7) What looks like a substitute for the Schlage PM081 but is not a complete storeroom lockset?
Several mortise parts sit close to the PM081 in a search but will not lock a storeroom opening on their own. The BEST 45H and 45HCA are mortise lock bodies only, heavy duty, in public entrance and intruder functions, supplied without trim. The Sargent 130KB and 130W are mortise thumbturns, an 8200 Series and a 7800 Series trim piece. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset with no latch or lever, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series is a deadbolt-function mortise lock with no handing. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton, and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, meaning no latch operation at all. The PM081 ships as a keyed storeroom mortise lock with the Neptune lever and a 10-072 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch square corner strike with box.
8) Can I use the Schlage PM081 on an aluminum storefront or glass door?
The PM081 is a mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch commercial doors, which is standard hollow metal and wood prep rather than narrow stile aluminum. For storefront work, the Alarm Lock DL1300NW Trilogy Networx wireless electronic mortise lock is built with a keypad for Adams Rite deadlatches, the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 is a wide stile electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock, and the Kaba Ilco BR Series is a glass door bottom rail lock.
9) Can I match the PM081 finish and lever to the other locks in my building?
Finishes run 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. The PM Series is also made to suite with other Allegion hardware, and it shares lever and rose styles with the Schlage PT Series tubular locks, so a Neptune lever on a mortise opening matches a Neptune lever on a bored-door opening down the hall.
10) Is the Schlage PM081 heavy enough for a high-traffic commercial opening?
It is a Grade 1 commercial mortise lock. The case is cold rolled steel with corrosion resistant zinc dichromate plating, measuring 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inches, with a stainless latchbolt. Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier for locksets, which is what most institutional and multifamily specs call for on corridor and service doors.
11) What else could I use instead of the Schlage PM081 for a Grade 1 storeroom mortise opening?
Two straight alternates in the same function: the Accentra 8805FL, a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with an Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080, a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are mechanical storeroom locks like the PM081. If the opening is a classroom rather than a storeroom, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is the Grade 1 classroom mortise equivalent.
12) Which electronic mortise lock covers the same storeroom opening as the Schlage PM081?
The PM081 is a mechanical, non-electronic keyed mortise lock. If the opening needs credential access instead of a key, the Command Access ML190 is a heavy-duty storeroom function motorized mortise lock with field selectable EL/EU operation on 24VDC, which is the closest electronic match on function. Broader options include the Schlage Electronics LEMD-GRW, a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating, and the BEST 45HZ EZ Series electronic keypad mortise lock with key override. The Accentra NTM623-NR nexTouch Generation 3 mortise lock uses a capacitive touchscreen keypad with cylinder override and no deadbolt.
13) Is there a non-keyed mortise lock alternative if the opening does not need to lock?
Yes. The Schlage PM081 is a keyed storeroom lock, so for a free-swinging opening the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock in the MA Series with field reversible operation and a fire rating, and the Hager 3810S and 3810E are Grade 1 passage mortise locks with a 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the PM081's backset, for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches thick. The 3810S carries rose trim and the 3810E carries an escutcheon. Hager's 3850E is an office function mortise lock, non-keyed, with lever and escutcheon on the same 2-3/4 inch backset.
14) I need a privacy mortise lock for a restroom, not a storeroom lock. What are my options?
The Schlage PM081 is keyed storeroom function and is not a privacy lock. For a restroom or bed/bath opening, 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 with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick, which matches the PM081's backset and mortise prep. If the facility wants electronic privacy, the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock in privacy function with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) For a behavioral health unit, is the Schlage PM081 the right mortise lock or should I use anti-ligature trim?
The PM081 uses a conventional Neptune lever, which is a projecting lever handle. Where the spec calls for ligature-resistant trim, 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, and the MRX-A-01 is the same passage function in satin stainless steel with ligature-resistant arch trim. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in the 195 Series, ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. All three are passage function rather than the PM081's keyed storeroom function.
16) The Schlage PM081 is a storeroom lock. What is the closest option if I need free egress with a deadbolt for a dormitory corridor?
The Sargent 7925 is the closer fit: a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. The PM081 is Grade 1 storeroom function with a 2-3/4 inch backset, field reversible handing, and levers with latchbolt operation. For an apartment or entrance corridor door, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 heavy duty office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors.
