Schlage L283-471 El Fail Safe Electric Lock Case

Product Description

The SCHLAGE L283-471 EL is a fail safe electric lock case designed for use in access control applications where power loss must result in an unlocked state. This unit incorporates a deadbolt monitor, allowing the control system to verify bolt position in real time. The lock case is field reversible, meaning it can be configured for either handing without returning to a shop or ordering an additional part. Licensed locksmiths, access control technicians, and commercial door hardware installers work with this component when specifying or servicing electrified mortise hardware on commercial openings.

This lock case is intended for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. It is specified for use with SCHLAGE L9492 and L9494 series mortise locksets. Typical installations include office corridors, stairwells, and secured entries where access control integration requires electric locking with fail safe behavior. The field reversible design reduces installation time on projects with mixed door handing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified access control technician familiar with electrified mortise hardware. De-energize the access control circuit and verify the door is secured in the open position before servicing the lock case. Confirm door handing and set the field reversible mechanism prior to installation in the mortise pocket. Local building and fire codes, including applicable sections of NFPA 80 and IBC egress requirements, govern fail safe locking hardware on rated openings.
