Schlage PM081 Grade 1 Accessible Storeroom with Cylinder Mortise Lock - Playa Lever

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 PLAA 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage PM081 mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The PM Series mortise case is built around 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) doors as standard, with 1-3/8 inch (35 mm) the minimum. The case itself is 4-7/16 x 6-1/16 x 1 inch (113 x 154 x 25 mm), and it fits doors up to 2-1/2 inches thick if you specify the door thickness and the lock position in the door when ordering anything over 1-3/4 inches.
2) Do I have to order the PM081 handed, or is it field reversible?
No handing to specify. The PM Series lock is field reversible, so one lock covers left and right hand openings and you can stock a single part number across a building instead of splitting inventory.
3) How does a storeroom function lock behave on a stockroom or utility door?
Storeroom means the outside lever is always locked and only a key retracts the latchbolt, while the inside lever is always free so anyone inside can get out without a key. That makes it the usual choice for stock rooms, mechanical rooms, electrical closets and back-of-house doors where you never want the opening left unlocked.
4) Do I need to order a cylinder separately with the Schlage PM081?
Depends which cylinder option you pick. Five are offered: B less SFIC, J less FSIC, L less conventional 6-pin, P conventional 6-pin keyed 5, and T FSIC construction core. The B, J and L options ship without a cylinder so you supply your own core to match the building keyway. Choose P if you want it to arrive with a working 6-pin cylinder, or T if you need a construction core during the build-out.
5) Will the PM081 drop into a door already prepped for a Schlage L Series mortise lock?
Not a clean swap. Schlage notes that the PM and L Series case and cover holes differ, so the mounting hole pattern will not line up even though both are mortise locks. Plan on new prep or a trim that covers the old holes if you are changing from L Series to PM Series.
6) What is a direct cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage PM081 Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock?
Two Grade 1 storeroom-function mortise locks cross closely to the Schlage PM081: the Accentra 8805FL Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset, which lists an interchangeable core option and a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The PM081 is also Grade 1 with a storeroom function and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and it is ordered in less-SFIC, less-FSIC, less-conventional, conventional 6-pin keyed, or FSIC construction core cylinder configurations. Confirm lever style and finish separately, since trim differs between the three.
7) We want credential or code access on this opening instead of a key. What replaces the PM081?
The PM081 is a mechanical, non-electronic mortise lock. For electronic access on the same mortise prep family, Schlage Electronics offers the CO-100-MS Grade 1 standalone keypad mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors and the LEMD-GRW Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a 3 hour fire rating. Other options include the TownSteel FME-2000 Grade 1 RFID mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Accentra nexTouch NTM623-NR with a capacitive touchscreen keypad and cylinder override, and the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 electronic pushbutton keyless mortise lock. Note the CO-100-MS listed here is a privacy function, so match function to the opening before you order.
8) Will a Baldwin 6310 mortise lock work in the same door prep as the Schlage PM081?
No, treat them as different preps. The PM081 uses a 2-3/4 inch backset, while the Baldwin 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock body is a 2-1/2 inch backset design, as is the 6310190RRLS right hand reverse lever by lever version. The backset difference changes the case pocket location relative to the door edge, so the Baldwin is not a drop-in for a PM081 prep. The Baldwin bodies are listed for doors 1-3/8 inch and over; the PM081 is field reversible for handing.
9) Which mortise products look like alternatives to the PM081 but will not actually lock a storeroom door?
Several mortise-named items are not functional locksets. The Emtek 3019 Brisbane, 3102 Memphis, 3104 Hamilton and 3106 Manhattan mortise entrance locksets are dummy function, meaning no latch operation at all. The Falcon MESC600DT is dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 exit devices, not a lock. The Sargent 130KB and 130W are mortise thumbturns only. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, which bolts a door but provides no latch or lever operation the way the PM081 storeroom function does.
10) Is there a storeroom mortise lock that can be electrically controlled from an access control panel, unlike the PM081?
Yes. The Command Access ML190 series is a heavy-duty motorized mortise lock in storeroom function with field selectable fail safe or fail secure operation and 24VDC power, and the BEST 45HW series is a wired electromechanical mortise lock with 12V or 24V operation. The PM081 is a mechanical storeroom lock with no electronic operation, keyed only, so it cannot be released remotely.
11) What finishes and trim styles does the PM081 with Playa lever come in?
Six finishes: 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 643E aged bronze. Trim is the Playa (PLA) lever, with a choice of A, C or D rose or the N escutcheon. The N escutcheon measures 7-7/8 x 2-1/2 x 7/16 inches in wrought brass; the A rose is 2-1/8 inch and the C rose 2-5/8 inch. Pick the escutcheon if you are covering an older, larger prep.
12) Can I match these mortise locks to the tubular locks on the lighter doors in the same building?
Yes. The PM Series mortise locks share lever and rose styles with the Schlage PT Series tubular locks, so you can run mortise locks on the heavy traffic and cross-corridor openings and tubular locks elsewhere with the same Playa lever look. The PM Series is also made to suite with other Allegion hardware for a consistent finish and feel across the property.
13) Is the Schlage PM081 rated Grade 1 for a high traffic commercial opening?
Grade 1, and built for commercial use. The case is cold rolled steel with corrosion resistant zinc dichromate plating, and the latch is stainless steel. That is the specification level facility and MRO buyers usually require on corridor, stairwell and service doors.
14) What else could I use instead of the Schlage PM081 storeroom mortise lock?
Two straight mechanical alternatives: the Accentra 8805FL from the 8800 Series is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with the Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. If the room needs a locked-out classroom behavior rather than storeroom, look at the Corbin Russwin ML2003 or the Cal-Royal NM8070 instead.
15) Is this mortise lock electronic, or do I need a credential reader version?
The PM081 is a mechanical, key-operated lock with no electronics. If you need card or mobile credentials on the same style of opening, Schlage Electronics offers the ENGAGE Series LEMD wireless mortise lock, Grade 1 with a 125kHz proximity reader, or the CO-100 standalone mortise lock with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors. The PM Series itself does include three electrified functions among its 26, but they are separate models from the PM081.
16) Is there a non-keyed mortise lock I can use on interior doors that do not need the PM081's key control?
Yes. The PM081 is a keyed storeroom lock ordered with a cylinder. Where the opening only needs latching, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock 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 for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors, the 3810S with rose trim and the 3810E with escutcheon. For an office door that locks by thumbturn rather than key, the Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 non-keyed office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon on the same 2-3/4 inch backset.
17) Can I order a mortise lock body only instead of the complete PM081 lockset?
Yes, if your opening already has trim. The BEST 45H series is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function with field reversible operation, and the 45HCA series is offered as a lockbody with intruder function. The PM081 differs in that it is supplied as a complete keyed storeroom lockset with lever trim, ordered by lever style, rose or escutcheon design, finish and cylinder configuration. Lock bodies alone require you to source compatible trim separately.
18) What mortise lock should I specify for a behavioral health or ligature-resistant opening instead of the PM081?
The PM081 uses a Playa lever on A, C or D rose or an N escutcheon, which is standard commercial trim. For anti-ligature openings, TownSteel offers the MRX-L-01 Grade 1 heavy duty stainless steel anti-ligature lever mortise lockset and the MRX-A-01 ligature resistant arch trim mortise lockset, both passage function for 1-3/4 inch doors. Marks USA also lists the 5PDN Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel, described as ligature resistant and ADA compliant. All three are passage function, so they do not provide the keyed storeroom control the PM081 does.
19) The PM081 is a storeroom lock. What is the closest Grade 1 mortise option if the door needs an office or entrance function instead?
For an office or entrance opening, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin 6301 is an entry/apartment mortise lock body on a 2-1/2 inch backset, available knob by knob or lever by lever for doors 1-3/4 inch and over. The PM081 keeps the outside lever locked at all times with key entry only, on a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch doors.
20) What should I use on a privacy or restroom door where the PM081 storeroom function is wrong?
For restroom and bedroom openings, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 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 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, the same backset the PM081 uses. The PM081 is keyed storeroom function and has no interior privacy control.
